2 COMPLETE RADIO BROADCASTS FROM CHICAGO IN 1980 & L.A. IN 1983 Having previously been known as Fresh Garbage, and then Hammer, southern rock superstars Blackfoot hailed from Jacksonville, Florida, but upon relocating to New York in 1970 they changed their name to the moniker they have been known by ever since. In 1971, founding members Rickey Medlocke and Greg T. Walker accepted an offer to join then up-and-coming, fellow Floridians, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Blackfoot dissolved. By 1974, however, the band were back with their original founders in place, and in 1975 the group s debut album No Reservations was released. By late 1975, the group was living back in Gainesville and in 1976 their sophomore album Flyin High came out on Epic. Between late 1976 and 1978 Blackfoot toured as backing band to female vocalist Ruby Starr (formerly of Black Oak Arkansas) and they then signed to Atco Records and recorded their third album. Strikes was completed by January 1979 and became the band's most commercially successful effort. The song Train, Train, written by Rickey's grandfather, "Shorty" Medlocke, became their first success and best known song. The group toured frequently during 1979 and they opened for The Who at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, while developing their next record, Tomcattin , released during 1980. They went on to release the album Marauder during 1981, Highway Song Live during 1982 and Siogo in 1983. By this time keyboard supremo Ken Hensley, formerly of Uriah Heep, had joined, as the group were attempting to modernise their sound for the MTV generation, and because southern rock was becoming somewhat passé - they were thus developing a more heavy/prog rock approach. This CD contains two superb, previously unreleased, live performances by Blackfoot, both taken from FM radio broadcasts. The first of these comes from March 1980 and was recorded at Chicago s Universal Amphitheatre, while the second, from 1983, is from the Hollywood Palladium show, which the group performed in August that year. Highlighting Blackfoot s changing sound during this period, these fascinating and hugely enjoyable performances, presented here in excellent audio quality, will delight fans of this long-standing and highly regarded rock outfit who, some 45 years after first coming together, continue to record and perform today.
