    Saw the boys at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield, Mo. I believe in '73. Up was the last song and Harvey and one of the other guitar players smashed their guitars to pieces over Jim Dandy as crouched to avoid the crash. Under the influence of who knows what it was a very memorable moment in my young history at the time.

    Black Oak Arkansas was the first band that I saw in concert. It was in 1971, Pan American Center in Las Cruces NM. I was around 13 or 14 yrs old and I was already immersed in Rock music and Black Oak Arkansas was a favorite of mine. I had never seen so many people smoking weed and rolling joints. Jim Dandy Magnum was the best frontman, keeping the crowd in the party mood and involved. The only frontman that I have seen who had the 'crowd control' down to an art is Ozzy Osborne Tommy Aldridge was one badass drummer back then and last time I saw him, he was in the revamped 'Thin Lizzy around 2002, he was a premier drummer and his kit was awesome. But the original Black Oak Arkansas, at that point in time, was something to see. High energy, Jim Dandy was always moving, talking when he wasn't singing, then at the end of the last song, the two guitarists grabbed their guitars by the neck and swung them hard from opposite directions, and smashed them together, above Jim Dandy"s head, who seemed to have ducked just in time. Pieces flew everywhere. I had two of the dials for years. I remember that girl jumped on the stage to grab a large piece of guitar and l heard someone yell very loud, Don't touch that IT'S HOT!" and a Roadie came flying out, slapping the hand that was going to grab it and tackling her. He told her, " Do you want to be electrocuted!?! Don't ever jump on a stage and grab something!" That was a concert that I never forgot, and I have attended many. many concerts and have seen many bands in the years following, but seeing the original Black Oak Arkansas, still ranks at the top of all I've seen.

      I agree, they were my first concert in 75 and very high energy. Jim Dandy was a real showman and he made sure we all enjoyed ourselves the entire show. Ruby Starr was not there but they still rocked the coliseum to no end. Everyone was on their feet n having a blast. Aerosmith was their backup band doing Toys in the Attic show, Target aka Survivor was the local Memphis band. I was up front and center on my friend’s shoulders holding Jim Dandy’s hand through Hot and Nasty. I took pics and yelled so loud he had to hear me. I tried to pull myself up on the stage holding onto the cords but couldn’t make it up there. No one tried to stop me. Yes, everyone in there was smoking and drinking partying hard and feeling good. I was 18 and one of their biggest fans all the 70’s with their albums playing a lot in my room. That was one exciting concert all three bands were top notch and so talented!! ❤️🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸🌟🎈🎉

      @@lindagreaney5136 I also saw them in either 75 or 76, can't remember for sure and can't find documentation on the show to confirm it. It was at Murray State University, Murray, KY, about an hour or two from where I lived in Illinois. The show was Foghat/BOA and in a rather small college basketball arena.
      Unfortunately for me, though I loved both bands at the time, that concert was bad. Foghat were so sloppy, the entire band stumbled to a stop mid-song at one point. Really, really sloppy. Black Oak, I really couldn't tell you, because it was so loud and overdriven, it just came across as white noise. I couldn't have told you that night what songs they played. They were loud enough they could have filled Soldier Field, but this was confined to a small indoor arena. That night was a major disappointment. Even between songs, with just Jim Dandy talking to us, you couldn't really make out what he was saying, because it was just too loud and overdriven.
      I would have loved seeing Foghat on a good night and BOA at a volume appropriate to the venue, but never got the chance to see either again.
      But, at least I got to see them. Saw another show at the same venue, same general time frame. Angel/Rush/BOC in that case, as a birthday gift from my sister. That show was so oversold, I recall my sister later telling me she went through the doors off her feet, since the pressure of the crowd picked her up. And she was not a small girl. Between Angel and Rush, I escaped to outside the arena, standing in one of doorways leading back in while talking with a friend I'd run into there. Still inside the building, just outside the actual arena. When we heard Rush coming on, we turned to go back in, and were greeted with a solid wall of people. Couldn't get back in. So, we turned back to each other, continued our conversation, and "listened" to Rush from that doorway. Just never actually even got a glimpse of them. Until I saw them again in the late 90's.

    I saw BOA three times starting with the August Jam at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1974, it was a couple weeks before I departed for army basic training. Then in 75 or 76 in Fayettevillle, NC while stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. An unknown band to many of us at the time named KISS opened for BOA at that show. KISS was good but not as good as Black Oak Arkansas. Hell nobody was! Then about a week after I got out of the army on terminal leave in July 1977 while down in Myrtle Beach partying with all my hometown friends I saw BOA again at the Palace Theater. What a treat and great gift to me and my friends while celebrating getting out of the army back then. But I went back in the army a couple years later and made it a career. I've seen a lot of concerts over the years, mostly rock and country, but there will never be another Jim Dandy Mangrum and Black Oak Arkansas. Oh, how I miss those days.

    I went with my Mom and Dad to a card game. I was about 5 or 6 years old. They turned on the TV and set me in the living. And there it was...Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. When that drum solo kicked in, I got super excited...and then at the end they threw their guitars in the air. I was so damn excited, that I can still remember it...and it changed my life. Rock Music became my passion...and I become a drummer in a band once I hit my 20's. And now that I am in my 60's...I still remember this event in my life, and how much I loved the vibe...and I was young as F***...LOL. Thanks Black Oak for such a life changing experience!

    This was the first band I seen live in 1975. Seen them in Chicago along with a unknown band at the time. I think they’re name was something like REO Speedwagon. Wonder what ever happen to them lol. Actually I read a interview years ago with David Lee Roth in the interview he stated that the singer Jim Dandy was who he copied. The drummer Tommy was amazing back then and he’s just gotten better and better over the years.

    To the person asking. This is from the summer of 1973. IMHO, the most classic lineup. Dandy, Reynolds, Jett, Knight, Daugherty and Aldridge. Nothing against Jimmy Henderson-love him too. RIP Jimmy, Stanley and Ruby. Definitely one of my favorite bands from the olden days.

    Most incredible drum solo EVER. Got to see them twice. My cousin had an asthma attack the second time, and we had to carry her up the stairs to the exit. Tommy was just going into his solo, so here I was, walking backwards with her arm draped across my shoulder, up the equivalent of a couple stories, so I didn't miss a beat. Man, I told her not to go down on the floor! Good times.

When my date, a devoutly religious girl, heard the spoken intro to "Hotrod" she almost had a panic attack. "Mama, I got a hot rod...and I aint talking bout no car, neither!"

And no... I was not about to knock those shiny pies over. I bought Zildjian an Paiste cymbals and they're not cheap. I never understood why rock bands busted their stuff. I mean I did understand but It made me crazy. But more relevantly, Tommy Aldridge was one of my most inspiring heroes as a young pup. He's still going strong while the rest of BOA has just sorta faded away. Loved them though.

    Inolvidable video, un testimonio extraordinario de la serie Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, de una de las mejores bandas en vivo que haya conocido el rock americano. Tres notables guitarristas en escena, algo olvidado y también desconocido por las generaciones actuales, Iron Maiden no fue el primero en tener un trío de guitarristas en su formación.
    David Lee Roth de Van Halen, se inspiró en Jimmy Dandy en la segunda mitad de los 70, para su parafernalicas acrobacias y despliegues sobre las tablas.
    Fue en en el año 1975 a través del programa Lolísimo de Canal 13 de Chile, que vimos por vez primera este show, lo animaba Juan Eduardo Goñi, no sabía nada de rock, pero aún así es parte de esta historia. Fue tal el impacto en la teleaudiencia, que la repetición de este video era casi semanal junto con Jim Dandy To The Rescue cantando con la finada Ruby Star.
    Lamentablemente estas cintas no resistieron el paso del tiempo y tampoco se les dio el cuidado que merecían, es muy difícil hoy encontrar videos en buena estado de esa época, grabados y emitidos por DKRC.
    Me considero testigo televiso privilegiado de haber disfrutado de estos shows en casa, aunque haya sido en blanco y negro.
