I saw them before the first record was released, they flat tore it up! They had an amazing chemistry onstage as a band and I was some kind of impressed.

Growing up on a farm in the 80s the "Keep Your Hands" video was inspiring to this then beginner guitarist/wannabe rock star in the fact there was finally a heavily played video on MTV of a band not wearing spandex and your sister's makeup and hair spray. Riding in the back of that truck they looked like the group of guys I would haul hay with.

I even tried to get them learn an instrument so we could also be famous ha ha. A couple tried...

The Georgia Satellites greatest hits is just full of bangers from top to bottom. Huge Dan Baird fan here.

 

[Gridlock]

Yes.

No one is going to confuse them with King Crimson but they are a helluva Rock n'Roll band. I saw them open for the Replacements at the Country Club in Reseda, CA in 1989. Huge guitar sounds. That was a great show from both bands. It really woke me up to the potential of Gibsons and Marshalls, although Dan Baird played a Tele. Rich Richards played a Junior. Let see, set highlights included White Lightning and The Harper Valley PTA.

Post #69! Woohoo!!

I remember hearing their song a few years ago and thinking "ah that's how it supposed to go".

 

[Tbone135]

Dan Baird has continued to make great rock and roll under his own name and band projects since the Satellites' day, check him out for some gems.

This album is all killer no filler. Just balls out rock and roll with some of the funniest lyrics ever. Impossible not to smile.

This thread got me to pull out a couple GS CDs. 1st album is great fun; straight ahead southern rock, and a complete guitar tonegasm. 2nd one is similar, but with a retread feel; been there, done that, not quite as infectious. That 1st album always brings it!

@Beater
Any opinions? I think it was one of the tapes you sent along.

The 3rd Album, "In The Land Of Salvation And Sin" showed a little more maturity, without losing the sweat-and-attitude.... it actually might be my favorite GS album.
