Agreed. It was BS they didn't allow him to be inducted along with Lynyrd Skynyrd, he was their first drummer & in the band , helped write songs with Ronnie, & sang lead on some songs, etc. 😒

Everyone who was anyone had the "Strikes" album when it came out in 1979, along with the 1979 "Flirtin with Disaster" Molly Hatchet release!! Some great times, right on the dawn of the magical 1980's!!!

I played in a band called Boulder, which warmed up Blackfoot in Prestonburg KY. around 78. We got through our set, and then they played for about 10 minutes and the power went off. Our extension cords were burning the wooden stage floor. Evacuation ensued. Our singer found $40 in a wallet that had been left behind. He's the only one who got paid

I remember on any given night seeing Ricky with Blackfoot, Pat Travers, Molly Hatchet, members of The Outlaws, 38 Special or Rosington Collins’s playing or just hanging around Fern Park Station. What a great time to be a kid with a fake ID. I believe all those guys knew I was only 15 and let me hang out anyway but they also looked out for me. I’m so grateful to all of those guys.

Look at Ricky Medlocke aging like a fine wine.

This is great! Even thought he played all those years in Skynyrd, I was hoping he would come out with a band and do his Blackfoot material. Saw them in 1979 and 1980 in Iowa. BLACKFOOT was One of best live bands ever in the day! What an inspiration, 74 and still ROCKIN!!!

One of the great rock songs ever! What a kicking song!

The first sign of a great band is when they absolutely lock in with the drummer at the beginning of a song.

I saw Blackfoot 1979 in a little bar called Signorelli’s (known as Slicks) in Saint Martinville, Louisiana. No stage. My buddy and I walked right up to about 2 feet in front of the microphone and watch Ricky Medlocke play and sing at floor level lol Never forget it. 😎

He playing with band Them Pesky Kids from Minnesota. I saw Ricky and that band last night. Great show !

Cool! Yes, they mentioned that, but we were at another show across town, so we missed it. When Rickey is between Skynyrd shows he does that. They become the Rickey Medlocke Band. He'll be back! 😉

I've seen Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet so many times. First time must have been around 79 or 80 and the last time I got to see them was in 2008 at the Hot Springs Motorcycle Rally. I remember seeing them in North Carolina in 83 when I was stationed at Ft Bragg. I've seen them more but those are the ones I remember.

I loved this tune as a young rocker, and hearing it today, it still sounds great. I sometimes play this riff when I'm messing around on my guitar.

I saw Blackfoot and Marshall Tucker in 1976 in Peoria IL at Bradley University. One of my top 5 concerts of 86 total concerts.

Oh yeah back in the 70s at a bowling alley in Jersey. Great times, great band. Keep rocking.

Blackfoot rocks a person soul 👍

Saw BLACKFOOT at Red Rocks(can’t remember the year), but it was when they first broke out! They ROCKED!! 🤘🏼

GO Rickey, Never Stop.....

This recording sounds really great for being such a loud tune. You can hear everyone clearly in the mix. Must be an amazing soundman

I met Ricky back in 2001 at a Lynyrd Skynyrd backstage meet and greet. He sat down and ate dinner with us, he was so nice. What a great guy. Ricky, Hughie and Gary Rossington signed my Fender Strat. It was one of the greatest moments in my life. Thank You God!!

Love that song. Rickey is the best.

Yeah, I had all those Lynyrd Skynyrd gold platinum, Molly Hatchet for disaster, my brothers, the outlaws green grass and high Times. I graduated high school in 1981 so all this shit was new to me. It was just coming on. I became in 1978 still today every album they ever did, including the Christmas album, Santa is going to get some loving, have seen many times of concert Ricky Medlock is awesome. Maybe I’ll see you again when they come to Mansfield I think it’s July 2 if I remember correctly but it is this summer I’m 61 so I tend to forget, I just don’t pay attention, one of the other go, let’s go Skynyrd nation

Sing it !!!! Damn. Brings back memories

I just wish I was Ricky Medlocke - what an absolute Southern Rock legend.

I was fortunate to be able to meet them many times as a child due to a neighbor being related to one of the members. We played with their extra band equipment pretending to be them ourselves as we sang their songs, met them as they passed through Jax, sometimes they had their bad ass boat parked at the dock off the Ortega/McGirts River, we could sing all of their songs….. shocked they were not as big as other bands in north Florida as 38 special or Lynard skynard. One bad arse southern rock band 🤘🏼

Great band. Back in the day I remember when the radio in my 67 GTO convertible was the best part of the car. You could turn on the radio to any rock station, and you didn’t have to keep searching every song pretty much was great.. This song was one of the ones, you would crank up the radio for. The only problem was, it made me want to drive faster.

Seen AC/DC & Blackfoot in Ft.Wayne,Ind. What a freaking buzz! front and center,,hash&sinse doobies!! 😎

One of my favorite Blackfoot songs wish I could say I enjoyed it!

Remember Blackfoot supporting Scorpions Vic Hall Hanley 1980 ...Awesome! 😀

I'll never forget hearing this the first time on house intercom radio throughout the house it was cool and amazing who are these guys ? I thought, and it was 1980 ?

I Loved the song since I first heard it when it came out on L. P. I was at my friend's house in the Alabama, swamps in New York and yes, we have swamps. And we have country.

He wasn't the original drummer for Skynyrd that would be Bob Burns Rickey filled in for a short time, when Bob came back they played with 2 drummers for an even shorter time, there are pictures of the band with Bob and Rickey in them like on Skynyrds First and Last but Bob was the original, him and Gary were playing together before they met Ronnie

Unaufgeregt gut, Andreas Hamburg Germany

Rickey is my favorite picker ever. Guitar god.

One night I pulled up next to some young kids at stop light. They were blaring Rap music. I started this song from the beginning, they were yelling Hee Haw or some crap like that, then they got punched in the face when Blackfoot started jamming. I laughed as the light turned green and I drove away.

I agree Blackfoot definitely deserves the hall of fame!!

Wants to make a 75 year old retired plumber jumble them pipes !!! Brings back good memories !!! Great band !! Never left my song book !!!

This is cool Blackfoot with Ricky

My fav album was Tomcattin'
