Formed in 1969 by Bassist Greg T. Walker "Blackfoot's" music has been entertaining fans for some 40 years and it's earned them the title of "The Boys of Southern Metal" for a reason. For fans not familiar with they're distinctive southern metal sound it's a smooth blend of southern twang and hard rock and it has definitely inspired many other bands who have followed in their footsteps. The bands eternal footprint in southern metal rock has been firmly planted and they are definitely the stuff that rock legends are made of.
This concert film of Blackfoot showcases the band in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg Kentucky in 2007 and the band definitely gives the fans their monies worth. Sadly the original drummer Jakson Spires passed away on March 16/ 2005 and the band would no longer be the same. Fortunately Michael Sollars from New Orleans joined the band and he is behind the drum kit for this show. Michael Sollars does a great job on the drums but Jakson Spires is definitely missed on this magic night of music and memories in Kentucky.
On a final note some fans may be disappointed to learn that original lead singer Ricky Medlocke did not rejoin the band and the present lead singer is Bobby Barth.

Blackfoot Live In Kentucky by kikachannel
1979 - 1979 I played in a band called Boulder and we had a chance to tour with Blackfoot the deal being we combine PA equipment.If it worked, we would go on tour with them. It didn't work. Our power cables were inadequate for the job and caught the stage floor on fire, causing the evacuation of the event. I have found since then that that is the fate of many acts trying to break into the big time. By the way the band KILLED until the power went away and the smoke from the floor enveloped the stage area.
