Hellbound Glory “Live From Memphis” Complete Concert Video
Saving Country Music’s 2010 Album of the Year winner, Reno, Nevada’s Hellbound Glory has just released an entire concert set worth of video footage from a show in Memphis earlier this year while on the Kid Rock tour. Whether you’ve heard the name before but never had the right excuse to check them out, or are a wiley old Hellbound Glory veteran looking for your next Hellbound fix, this video footage will set you right.
“On March 21st, Hellbound Glory descended up on the city of Memphis, Tennessee and the renown FexEx Forum in support of Kid Rock and the Rebel Soul tour. With much respect to the city’s musical heritage (and a visit the day before), the band laid into a blistering 30 minute set, putting into motion a series of events that only time a whiskey will ultimately divulge. This video document is testament to that fateful night Hellbound Glory came to town.
The audio captured here is a “board mix” and has not been altered or remastered in any way.”

This was awesome, and I love the format. The only thing it is missing is crowd shots so I can really feel like I am there. I’ve missed the chance to see them live a few times, so this is the next best thing. Props to these guys for sharing.

Some bands would have tried to figure out how to package this into a DVD or something, but Hellbound has been going out of their way to make cool live content available for free to their fans. The format isn’t perfect, but for free you get good audio and multiple camera angles. Ain’t bad at all. There’s also a song or two here I’ve never heard before.

This is phenomenal. I have not had the pleasure of seeing these guys live so this is the next best thing. That Repo Man medley is absolutely blistering!

Any word on when their next album is coming out? Seems like we’ve been hearing about Merica for a long time, but news has really died down.

I have not seen or heard anything. They have been virtually on tour constantly since the first Kid Rock leg was announced, and I can’t see where they would have any time to record. They have been getting some big touring opportunities, so maybe the idea is to take advantage of them when they can, get their name out there, and make an album when things slow down. Also if Shooter Jennings was going to be their producer, he’s been out on tour a lot as well. I think that’s one of the reasons they keep releasing material like this is to tide folks over.

This is my kind of country music, period.
I bought a ticket for this show in Knoxville right before or after the Memphis show, but Kid Rock had to cancel because he was sick.
These guys put a name and a face on the type of country music I like.
I also like the Supersuckers, who previously toured and recorded with Steve Earle.

Name me one other band that can go from playing sold out arenas to playing outside a trailer in the dark in front of 50 people at muddy roots. Guys are absolute beasts.

Any word on if Rico is back with the band yet? I saw them a month ago in KC and Rico had just quit. They were using the guitarist from the Supersuckers so it was more of a rock show and was still great but not a HBG show.

Southern Rock band now?
October 17, 2013 @ 5:34 pm
Let’s not get too excited. Remember they are opening for Kid Rock. For two years before this, Leroy Virgil was sitting on a bass drum playing it backwards with his boot.
October 17, 2013 @ 5:42 pm
I’m easily excited though! I understand playing big venues you have to crank it up, but last time I saw them they were still playing the same set in a small club. Also in Interviews Leroy is saying things like “No matter what I do it will always be country”…. feels like he is setting up his fans for style change.

I saw them a few weeks ago and the sound was even more rock sounding than it was on the Kid Rock tour (maybe this was because Rico wasn’t there so they had two guitars and no lap steel) but it’s definitely different.
I still enjoy the sound for some songs (like The Feud), but I really prefer them with stand up bass, lap steel, and acoustic guitar–though I’m glad they have a drummer.

HELLBOUND Glory KICKSASS! Thanks for the post…with no KIDd’in!

I really wish they’d release a new album already. It’s going to be an instant buy from me whenever it finally does come out.
October 18, 2013 @ 5:54 am
I doubt they are changing the sound. I said that Rico had quit and they were using the guitarist from supersuckers(they are on tour with them now) to fill in. I really just want to know if anyone has seen them in the past 2 weeks if Rico was back. His lap steel playing added a unique sound to the band and he is a totally cool dude. Hope things get worked out and he comes back. Zach Shedd was also playing bass for them the past 2 times I saw them so I guess he isn’t with H3 now.

I saw them in St. Louis (I think that might have been the night before the show you saw in KC?!) Anyway, Leroy said something like, “Rico got a girlfriend and got tired of the road.” So, sounded kinda final, but you never know!
I actually enjoyed the more rock vibe with of the songs playing with the Supersuckers. I think it was “Barroom Beauty” that sounded kinda forced, but the other songs I really liked. I’m more rock-leaning in my tastes anyway, though.
I have given the Supersuckers a few listens and they’re okay–but I would have been happy if Leroy had played for 3 hours straight that night, like I’ve seen Hellbound do in some little bars before the Kid Rock tour.
He also gave me a weird answer when I asked about a record…like maybe he wasn’t happy with how what’s been recorded has turned out? I didn’t want to be too nosy though. But a new record would be amazing! I will always root for Hellbound.

Say what you want about him…..Kid Rock gave these guys a big opportunity and apparently treated them first class on the tour.
October 18, 2013 @ 11:27 am
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Still enjoyed their show with the supersuckers, but I always found the lap steel to really define them lyrically and it was definitely not as good as it is with him.
Hopefully he’ll rejoin or they’ll get another steel player.
October 18, 2013 @ 11:56 am
Meant to say lap steel defined their sound musically, not lyrically.

Thanks for these! They sound great live. I saw Leroy and Rico play in a wayside bar last November (that was all that remained of Hellbound last fall) Good to see a full band again! Hope Rico stays with them….
Any news on the ‘Merica album.? I see it pictured on the screen behind them. I thought it was completed and ready to be released last year?
