It's awesome the band sounds as great as ever and Mr. Lee kept his voice "young". I identify with the age, I'm 72 and was lucky to live in the greatest era of rock and roll music ever. These guys were and are part of it.
If you took away the visuals and told me this was a high quality version of this song from back in the day, I’d have believed it. Larry’s voice sounds identical to how it sounded back in the 70s. And he is a multi-instrumentalist to boot. It just goes to show when you have the music in your soul, it shines through. Time waits for no one. But for some of us it takes a little time off along the way.
This brings a tear to to me. I first heard this song when I was 11 years old, and now at 54, to see this again, and Larry performing so flawlessly, just blows me away. So awesome!
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song. It really is a masterpiece. And this performance of it is every bit as good as what they were doing back in the day, if not better.
When I first heard the song I was just a young kid in high school about 15 years old now here I am at 63 oh my God it seems like just yesterday thought I heard the Ozark Mountain Daredevils record the song now I'm an old man well at least according to the people I work with that's what they call me hey old man! So many unbelievable bands came about in my lifetime I know every generation says this but for me it rings true I love the time I grew up in I love that I live through the British Invasion and I loved everything that came after that right up until the late 90s with Alice in Chains Stone Temple Pilots but still my number one band is the Beatles it's what I lived with it's what I grew up with listening to my brother and sister playing at all the time they were just drilled into me the whole British Invasion was absolutely fantastic the animals zombies The Rolling Stones omigod the so many bands to simply can't name the wall but it was just a totally unbelievable time to grow up and I really miss it and right now I'm going through my meltdown
Hey ..im with ya! This was my childhood too. As fast as life goes by, im still so glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s as a kid and teenager. I even hear young people today say they really wish they had grown up during our time. Great music everywhere you turned. People were just happier in general back then. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could..and take my kids with me! 😊
Spring Break ‘74, me & my friend Joey, EKU to Daytona, red 69 Vette, 427 three deuce 4spd. Suns coming up, Joey’s passed out, pulled the car over, toss the top down, grab the last beer, fire one up, hit the road running, Jackie Blue comes on the radio! Heaven On Earth for a 20 yr. old. Saw them live on the 10th row with 15 friends in Columbus a year later! 😎MAGICAL😛
One of the all time best guitar solos ... so iconic, hypnotic and melodic .. can listen to it again and again ..reminds me of driving down a country road on a hot summer night, watching the sunset .. classic !
great,..great song...from start 2 finish.....lyrics are so well written,... classy, classy tune....awesome 2 see he could still do it......seen it be4...real talent doesnt run outta gas........
charlotte quillen it’s about a drug dealer. A friend of theirs dealt drugs and they thought he had an interesting life. They changed to be about a free spirited girl and aren’t we glad they did!?! 😃
One of my top 3 songs of all time! I fell for this song the year it came out, my senior year in high school. It is not only a classic pop/rock song, but it brings back many great memories for me od simpler times. My question is, what did the 6 "thumbs down" folks hear or see to score this video that way????? The only slight mark is that they didn't sing the last stanza, but so what? Larry Lee sounds like he is still chucking it back in 1975 -- I can't think of another rocker from that age who can do that. mike Love comes close. This is a perfect song!!!
Glad I found this. Have to confess I have a crush on the singer after the viewing the Old Grey Whistles footage from 1976 and I wanted to see him singing this in recent years.
Great song young city kid moved to surburbs in 73 and got introduced to a totally new way of life pool’s pretty girls 70’s pop&rock music greatest time of my life
Musically, this is incredible! Larry’s voice hasn’t really lost much of its edge either. I love this song and it’s hard to believe it came out in the seventies-50 years ago! Cant ever see the songs being made today being played in 50 years time-can you?
Kool Riddle did you play the Fiddle??? Sorry I couldn't pass it up LoL Awesome, I just got back from Aurora south east of Springfield, 'Nicest people on the Planet'
Always loved this song and many years later I travelled to Missouri from the UK and met a beautiful gal from Missouri, we got married in Mark Twain State Park.....her name...........Mary 😂😂😂 Sadly we split up many years later I went back to the UK but still miss her, the Ozarks and frozen custard! OH AND THROWED ROLLS! The good Lord created the Ozarks and he looked down and declared THEY ARE RIGHTEOUS!👍🏻🇺🇸
Great song! Loved it back in 75' and I love it now! This song alone is better than any of the crap that's out today (April 1, 2023) Everything about the song is fantastic! From the Band, That Slide guitar, the lyrics of the songs, and the Sweet vocals from "Drummer" "Larry Lee"...I guess "Larry" wanted to be more up front so he traded in his Drummers Throne for a Keyboard Throne 😂
Ooh, Jackie Blue Lives her life from inside of her room Hides a smile when she's wearin' a frown Ooh, Jackie you're not so down You like your life in a free-form style You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile There never seems to be quite enough Floating around to fill your lovin' cup Ooh, Jackie Blue What's a game girl, if you never lose? Ask a winner and you'll probably find Ooh, Jackie they've lost at sometime Don't try to tell me that you're not aware Of what you're doing and that you don't care You say it's easy, just a natural thing Like playing music, but you never sing Ooh, Jackie Blue Making wishes that never come true Going places that you've never been Ooh, Jackie Blue, you're going again Ooh, Jackie Blue Lives a dream that can never come true Making love is like sifting through sand Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand Every day, in your indigo eyes I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine You'd take the world but you won't take the time Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue Lives her life from inside of a room Makes you think that her life is a drag Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Hey, hey, hey, hey
Those lyrics are pure brilliance of writing. No 'baby, bay, baby' silliness...just well-thought out words that ring with truth and meaning. I could listen to this musical masterpiece until the end of time...
There is the best producer and one of the kindest men I've ever met backstage in Bemidji believe it or not he was pretty and I never was but he's got some chaps
Yes, pretty good as older '75 footage of 'Old grey whistle tour, song tempo slowed down just a whisker and voice not quite as crisp, but close, but whudya expect at in your 60s or pushing 70, still well done, hats off to Larry Lee.
It's awesome the band sounds as great as ever and Mr. Lee kept his voice "young". I identify with the age, I'm 72 and was lucky to live in the greatest era of rock and roll music ever. These guys were and are part of it.
Agree!
I loved this song when I was 12 and I still LOVE it *I'm 61*
❤❤❤
Best song ever ❤️
Copy that
61 YEAR FEMALE FROM MINNESOTA!!
One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONGS!!
Damn! I am floored by Larry's voice! Ahh, the 70's! 👍
Does he play drum and guitar too????

And he is a multi-instrumentalist to boot. It just goes to show when you have the music in your soul, it shines through. Time waits for no one.
But for some of us it takes a little time off along the way.
best song from the 70s i remember growing up there was alot of great songs we can still remember till the day we die im 57 now
58 here, ditto.
Wow, he can still really sing and the band sounds great. Unlike today's bands and their back up tracks.
This brings a tear to to me. I first heard this song when I was 11 years old, and now at 54, to see this again, and Larry performing so flawlessly, just blows me away. So awesome!
I support you Chuck, my brother. I takes a man to be able to admit music can bring tears to his eye. Peace Borther!
Chuck Novy I agree. His voice hasn’t lost any of its perfection or emotion or subtlety. Perfect
im the same , tear in the eye , must admit i always thought it was a woman on lead vocals . still sounds brilliant .
@@jeffchristie1541 same here. I always thought it was a woman when I first heard this song. Still love this song
@@APatriarca1 I think we all did ,back in the day!
His voice never changed wow!
Must have never hit puberty? Sounds like a woman
Tight shorts! lol
I've loved this song since the it came out. It has an almost mystical quality about it..what a golden voice on that man...bless him!
Amazing vocals. Still killing it
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song. It really is a masterpiece. And this performance of it is every bit as good as what they were doing back in the day, if not better.
Good rendition but nowhere near as impactful as the Old Grey Whistle Test version. Voice is weaker and he can no longer drum...
When I first heard the song I was just a young kid in high school about 15 years old now here I am at 63 oh my God it seems like just yesterday thought I heard the Ozark Mountain Daredevils record the song now I'm an old man well at least according to the people I work with that's what they call me hey old man!

I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could..and take my kids with me! 😊
I am blown away..... I just watched an old clip of this from the 70's. He is gray but sounds the same. He still has it.
Right?? I just did the same thing...watched the live 70's video and then checked this one out...and I'm blown the hell away! How??
He played drums then didn’t he?
@@miketabor2426 Tight shorts! lol
Larry Lee nailed it!!!! Excellent live performance. Perfection.
nailed the vocals exactly like the original recording. he still has it ..
J.D. was the original vocalist, but yes, he still has it.
@@fredstumpf178 No Larry Lee drummed and sang on the original. Cheers.
@@TheJPDIII Thank you Pete
@Jeff Baker it is LL
@@TheJPDIII yes
Man this takes me back to the 70’s….one of my favs
Good job guys
American music at it's best.
Wow..he must have kept on singing that one all his life..love the song and memories!
What a great sing, I can listen to it anytime when it pops up on the radio while I’m driving 👌
No me canso de oir esta cancion con esa voz sensual no a cambiado su voz😍😍😍
Its a man singing.
God bless all of you, your song will always ring deep in me.
Great song...a favorite of mine from the 70s! Still sounds fabulous!
Great song. I saw them at Canada Jam 🇨🇦 1979 I think 😅
Another underrated band. Good to see they're still rockin
Hard pressed to tell the difference between live and recorded.
Dedicated Musicians like this are extremely rare. Well done.
wow his voice is still freaking great!!! smooothhhhh
Thank goodness Larrys back,takes me back to 1975.
Me too - Memories to spare
Larry Lee sounds exactly the same way he is so handsome he ages like a fine wine

Amazing his voice is still so good.
Still love this legendary song from my youth. One of my all time favorites.
Loveeeee this Songggg 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵
The slide guitar sounds truly mesmerising!!!
Larry Lee ROCKS! How many male vocalists/musicians are capable of singing falsetto while simultaneously banging the drums? Answer: Very Few.
He's playing keyboards on this version...
Exactly 🎼 🥁 🎤
He is a multi instrumental
Schumer....grandfunk railroad...singing and banging on the drums....lol
One of the Great Songs I heard growing up and still listening to it now
I can't remember when this tune came out, but I know it was a LONG TIME AGO.
Love It !!
1975
Great song.....reminds me of my days sitting on the beach at Siesta Key.
One of the all time best guitar solos ... so iconic, hypnotic and melodic .. can listen to it again and again ..reminds me of driving down a country road on a hot summer night, watching the sunset .. classic !
I remember my best friend got this on a 45 rpm when we were about 8. I’m 58, still love the song and miss the times!
Wow they still sound amazing!
I had a lil boy and a baby girl when I first heard this....so many poignant memories!....He has a great voice!
Realmente increíble. Suenan como si fueran los mismos de los 70. Eso es el rock. Vida eterna
He’s still got it.

Ha...I saw the bass player on Wheel of Fortune tonight!...he won like 10k..congratulations Supe!!
I remember seeing OMD in Casper, WY in the early 80s. They put on quite a show. I've always loved the song "Jackie Blue".
This a killer live version. Holy shit. Bang on.
Should have way more views, Fantastic classic rock song...
Glad I found this. Have to confess I have a crush on the singer after the viewing the Old Grey Whistles footage from 1976 and I wanted to see him singing this in recent years.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Larry Lee is a cool old man can still sing and play like he did over 40 years ago.
I thought the original singer was the drummer
Larry also plays drums he just happen to be playing the keys at this concert
just seen these guys at the Wayne county fair. GREAT SHOW!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of her room
Hides a smile when she's wearin' a frown
Ooh, Jackie you're not so down
You like your life in a free-form style
You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin' cup
Ooh, Jackie Blue
What's a game girl, if you never lose?
Ask a winner and you'll probably find
Ooh, Jackie they've lost at sometime
Don't try to tell me that you're not aware
Of what you're doing and that you don't care
You say it's easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music, but you never sing
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places that you've never been
Ooh, Jackie Blue, you're going again
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives a dream that can never come true
Making love is like sifting through sand
Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand
Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time
Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Makes you think that her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Jorge Cortes-Guzman thank you!
I know a girl just like that....! 😢
