Well once again we have been duped by the manufacturers. This is the same show as "Live In Kentucky". When I ordered it I thought I was getting another Blackfoot show. Much to my dismay, as soon as the opening interview segment started I knew I had seen this show before. I realize this version predates the "Live in Kentucky" DVD but still, whats up with that? Buyer beware if you already own "Live in Kentucky" you are just getting the same show in a different package. Its still a great show and should be enjoyed by all but again, why do the studios keep doing this to us consumers? They show time and again they really only care about one thing, yes you guessed it, the almighty dollar.

I didn't know this dvd even existed, but I'm glad I found it. No, there's no Rickey Medlock, but there's still 2 original members, and the other guys are very quality players and stick true to Blackfoot music. If U like Blackfoot at all U'll like this one.

First, let me tell you that Rickey Medlock is not on this DVD. Next, let me say that this is a good DVD.I think it is worth the money, even without Rickey. If you are a Blackfoot fan, this is a must have. The sound quality is great, as is the video. This is not an old recording.

THIS BAND ROCKS!!! Like the title says "Southern Rock's Best, this may very well be true. This concert is "high-energy" rock and roll, very guitar oriented (you get three guitar players), and all the band members put "100 Percent +" effort into the concert.The songs are great, the band is great,and the audience is great, making this one GREAT CONCERT DVD. It was filmed recently in Kentucky.

The line-up consists of 5 members (2 of the 5 are founding members):
You get three guitar players (two of which alternate singing the vocals),
You get founding member and Native American "Greg T. Walker" on the bass guitar (he is dressed in his Native American outfit), and you get a drummer. These guys play with an "attitude" they really deliver. Rickey Medlocke has not been with the band for quiet some time. He has been with the current version of Lynyrd Skynyrd for more than 10 years.

The concert consists of 15 songs with an approximate running time of 1 hour and 18 minutes. Some highlights I liked include: "Railroad Man", "Sunshine Again" (this is dedicated to the late Jakson Spires who was the original drummer of Blackfoot and to some departed Molly Hatchet members), "Fox Chase" (this is introduced by a recording of Shorty Medlocke,Rickey Medlocke's granddad - it's a great introduction and great song), "Left Turn on a Red Light", "Guitar Solo", "Train, Train" (this is a true classic that was written by Shorty Medlocke and is very well performed here), "Highway Song" (This is another classic that is performed to near perfection here, they play an extended version that highlights the 3 guitars playing this song - kinda like the "Freebird" guitar solo's), and "Good Morning".

Overall, this is an excellent 100 percent pure "Southern Rock" concert, that is performed in an outstanding manner. I higly recommend this one.

Rickey Medlock is not on this DVD that should say it all..This is not Blackfoot. Dont bother with this one its that bad.....
