GREAT American band...

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Let's be fair: there are great bands in Canada too! Like Blackfoot for instance...
I'm just curious: nobody ever mentions them in this forum, why on earth? They fucking rock, don't they?

[m_dixon1984]

Blackfoot, with Greg T Walker playing bass and singing (looks like him in your picture)?? I've heard of them but not as a Canadian act. I just did some Googling and if this is the Blackfoot band you're speaking of they're from the southern states. http://www.blackfootrocks.com/
They are good but not Canadian I'm afraid.
One of my favorite Canadian rock bands that isn't that well known in the rest of the world is The Tea Party. Check 'em out: http://www.teaparty.com/.

Well... Cheers, dude! You're right, they're from Florida! Why the fuck have I always believed they were Canadians? :confused:

Five stars for you for making it right, and shame on me...

Cool. I'll return the favour (5-star vote) for bringing up Blackfoot. Strange how you sometimes forget about bands you liked in the past. I saw Blackfoot live like 15 years ago at a biker/pot festival in Tweed, Ontario, Canada. I was going to buy some of their music but promptly forgot all about them (probably had something to do with the pot component of the festival).
Seriously, though, check out The Tea Party. The Edges Of Twilight is my favorite CD of theirs.

So yes, Blackfoot is back, minus their original drummer who died earlier this year.
I once had a live album from the early eighties, and still have a studio record from 1990, "Medicine Man" (just playing it again for the first time in years, it sounds a little like Kiss, especially the opening track, "Doin' my job", then there's a Free cover, "The stealer").

It sounds damn good, I'll look for stuff by The Tea Party next time I go to Geneva for a few records! Thanks for the tip!

And thanks to you Phoenix for changing "Canadian" into "American"... I look less dumb!

TEA PARTY broke up recently.

[FORD]

So Ricky Medlocke is back with Blackfoot, and Johnny Van Zant is making records with his brother.

Does this mean they finally pulled the plug on the fake Skynyrd embarrassment band?

[VanJay011379]

Medlocke is not back with Blackfoot.

I saw them in Youngstown, OH on August 26 of this year.

They put on a kickass live show. The lineup consists of

Bobby Barth - Vocals/Lead guitars
Greg Walker - Bass
Charlie Hargrett - Lead guitars
Christoph Ullman - Drums

I met the band after the show. They were down to Earth as hell.

I wish Medlocke was there I had people saying to me this was a tribute band and not the real thing. I can see that point of view but hey, I wasn't alive in the 70s.

The setlist was as follows.

Blackfoot
B&B Backstage
Youngstown, OH
Friday, August 27, 2005

1) Good Morning
2) Wishing Well
3) I Got A Line On You
4) Baby Blue
5) New Song (Dedicated to Jakson Spires)
6) Every Man Should Know
7) Fox Chase
8) Left Turn On A Red Light
9) On The Run
10) Rollin' and Tumblin'
11) Fly Away
12) Train, Train
13) Highway Song
14) Dry County

[VanJay011379]

Guitarist Charlie Hargrette and I.


Drummer Christoph Ullman and I.


Singer/Guitarist Bobby Barth, Bassist Greg Walker and I.

There was a thread about Blackfoot awhile back, and everyone was slammin' "Tomcattin'!"

I thought it was a decent record.

I had Tomcattin, I also have the Strikes album. It's too bad that Medlocke isn't in the band though. I was into this band when I got into my "Southern Rock" phase. You know...Skynard, 38 Special, Allman Brothers, Jim Dandy, etc...
