3.0 out of 5 stars Blackfoot - 'King Biscuit Flower Hour' (King Biscuit Entertainment), January 30, 2008

Recorded live at the Palladium in Hollywood on August 10, 1983. Main reason I bought this CD here recently is because I saw guitarist Rick Medlocke with Lynyrd Skynyrd a few summers ago. Maybe not the best King Biscuit release out there, but still decent. Tunes here I got the most out of were "Rattlesnake Rock 'N Roller", their two hits "Train Train" and "Highway Song", Uriah Heep's "Easy Living", "Fly Away" (great guitar work) as well as "Living In The City". Has an interview where Medlocke discusses subjects like touring with Nugent and the Scorpions, playing large European festivals with AC/DC and Iron Maiden and how well Blackfoot had functioned as a band. Line-up: Rick Medlocke: slide guitar & vocals, Charlie Hargrett-guitar, Ken Hensley (forgot all about how he was with Blackfoot)-hammond organ, Greg T. Walker-bass & vocals and Jackson Spires-drums & backing vocals. Nothing too special, like I said but alright.

3.0 out of 5 stars If your a fan,buy it........, September 7, 2001

If your a Blackfoot/Rickey Medlocke fan I'd have to say it's worth owning this CD. The 20 minute interview alone will get you off,especially if you're into Southern rock lore.From a sound & performance standpoint however, you'll be a little let down. Like the other guys have said, get "Highway song live" to hear Blackfoot in their prime.

3.0 out of 5 stars A slight disappointment, but good nonetheless., July 11, 1998

If you're thinking of buying this as a substitute for the classic Blackfoot live recording "Highway Song Live" (not yet available on CD, and never released in any format outside Europe), think again. If you're thinking of buying it because you enjoy good, bluesy rock with a definite Southern style, then this may well be for you. Recorded after the 'Foot had peaked and with journeyman ivory-tinkler Ken Hensley grafted into the band, this CD captures some fine tunes from Blackfoot with a good mix and technical quality for the most part. It's spoiled a little by the songs not appearing in their usual running order, and in truth Highway Song Live could never have been bettered for sheer power, feeling and boogie, so this effort was always going to be second best. But collectors and Blackfoot fans will certainly enjoy this CD, if only for the keyboards appearing where they hadn't been previously and the rendition of Easy Livin' fron Hensley's former band, Uriah Heep. A curious recording but worth having all the same.
