I believe Ted was the top grossing live act of 1978. He was HUGE. I was fortunate to see him front row in 1984 when he was still a wild man with no shirt but playing to a much smaller crowd by then. 1978 was the year my 9 year old self discovered KISS, Ted, Aerosmith, Queen and Foghat.

Arguably, one of the top 10 greatest rock and roll songs of all time

I'm awestruck just watching his right hand: how he picks, uses controlled feedback, his volume and tone knobs all incorporated into this piece of music. Brilliant! People don't realize how difficult it is for someone to get to that level of playing. He's not just playing a bunch of notes. He makes his guitar sing those notes by his dynamics and phrasing and that's what makes Ted Nugent so great as a guitarist. Really an absolute master and up there with the very best of the best.

@GTX1123

10 ай бұрын

You make an astute observation my friend. Managing guitar volume as a way to leverage tone dynamics is a lost art. It's way undervalued nowadays, but its the key to good organic tone and players from the arena rock days of yore were all well familiar with it. It's hard enough to control feedback on a solid body guitar run through a bunch of dimed up amplifiers stacked on top of 2x12 cabinets all daisy chained together. But trying to manage all of that through a hollow body guitar which Ted was known for, is an absolute feedback nightmare. It took an incredible level of skill to do it...

Nothing like the 70's! 👉Started with Free For All and ended with an extended version (over 11 minutes) of "Strangehold" come from the first show, broadcast on NBC on the night of November 24, 1978, when Nugent (with Charlie Huhn on lead vocals) performed alongside REO Speedwagon, AC/DC and Cheap Trick, while live footage of Thin Lizzy playing in London was shown, as were videos by Golden Earring and Aerosmith.

​@imacmill Totally agree with you. Boy I'm sick of "This song is underrated"! "This [musician] is "so underrated"! It's like literally every song and artist in existence is underrated. Underrated means you think it's better (critically, not commercially) than its reputation. Underrated doesn't mean it's not "talked" about enough. Not at all the same thing. Bottom-line: STOP saying every song is underrated. It's ridiculously overrused and ridiculously tiresome

@@TannerBartko It also gives the person saying it a sense that they have greater musical knowledge than other people, making them feel musically elite. It's just dumb.

I will always know every single note ot this song. We used to listen to this album non-stop. Good times! This is our anthem song back then and still!

Quite possibly the greatest edition of The Midnight Special ever aired!

I saw a lot of bands from this episode at a day long concert in Cleveland in the summer of 1979. Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Journey And the Scorpions doing their first ever live show in the USA. All in one day. It was amazing.

Saw Ted live in the 70's he was a mad man and rocked his ass off. He opened for Blue Oster Cult and ZZ Top. What a GREAT concert it was

Ted... The Motor City Mad Man... Ultra genius.

In all my 66 years I have never witnessed another guitarist like Ted Nugent. The way he could play that hollow box electric guitar was nothing short of brilliant.

i saw Ted at the Hollywood Sportatorium in January or 1978 with Golden Earring. He was amazing! Also saw him last July 2023 at The Hollywood Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and was surprised how good he still is. He can still play like a possessed madman! Haha it was a great show and the audience, albeit quite a bit older… lol was totally into it!

Uncle Ted was at the top of his game here. He was incredible at Cal Jam 2 during this same period. I saw him there as one of the headliners (13 major acts) and he truly kicked ass, leaping across the speaker stack while playing. Almost 50 years, later I recall it vividly.

The last show Derek played with him until he reunited with him. They hated each other's g*ts by that time and weren't even talking and if they did it was telling each other to f**k off during the show. haha If you watch Cal Jam 2 it looks like Derek is talking crap to Ted. ha

Everything the Nuge says about , clean living and the way music gets into your soul is on his face in this video.

I do not believe for one second that he had NEVER experimented with any kind of substance! I'm pretty sure that he had tried marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms and peyote. Neither of those are dangerous. Mushrooms are definitely not addictive.

Hello,how are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here.

Those were the end of the 70’s rock era days and Ted was king of the hill for a little while.

This sounded totally awesome cranked to 11 on my Truck stereo whenever I need to get re-grooved. My all-time favorite Bass line.

Saw Ted many time in SF. Always put on a great concert. Keep rocking Ted!

First concert I ever went to was a Ted Nugent concert in 1976, my ears rang for three days!

1st saw Ted in 1979 at Pittsburgh Civic Arena . Ted Nugent, AC/DC, Scorpions. What a show!!!

Uncle Ted rippin' it! 🎸

Thank you Uncle Ted... I just rediscovered my childhood 🫶

On the short list of greatest rock songs of all time.

Wow, I remember seeing Nugent at Winterland back in the mid 70's. I recall he was standing on top of all the amps and playing Queen of the Forest. He's a natural playing the guitar, one of the best.

Shout out to Cliff Davies back there on the drumkit. Laying down a pocket like a f’in wrecking ball.

I've been playing and producing professionally 40 years and Ted was the guy that made me want to be a guitar player. Ted is easily among of the greatest rock guitarists in music history. He had a fire and passion that was only matched by people like Pete Townshend. When Ted played his entire being was invested in every note.

I miss this music and the true musicians who made it! Cranking to 11!

Mr Dilly remembers as a teen staying up late back in the 70's to see Uncle Teddy..do this song on the Midnight Special. .. Back when Rock and Roll was... Ass Kick'n and "Real" !!!!.. Got my first Guitar soon afterwards....The rest is History... Thank You....Ted Nugent...Da Motor City Madman !!!🙏👍🎸😎❤️ .

Blessed to have seen Ted perform at three different events in the 70s. Absolutely incredible performer and musician!!!

Before Eddie Van Halen there was Ted Nugent.
