This is a little late for the Fourth of July, but we're going to post it any way...sometimes, scheduling does get a little tight on the blog! Thanks to Barry Mac, here is an ad for Black Oak Arkansas' performance at, what sounds to be the J Bar H Arena in Camdenton, MO, in the Lake of The Ozarks. Apparently, this is the rodeo arena since, I think, the 1950's. back then, I read, Camdenton transformed itself into a full-fledged cowboy town. It seems a lot of good times were had at the arena!
Five dollars got you an open-air performance of Black Oak Arkansas, The James Gang, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Brownsville Station.
You can't get even near a decent concert nowadays for five dollars....maybe into a local coffee shop with a new band....

I helped with the stage and wiring for two weeks before the event, then worked security for the show--mainly just keeping people from climbing a scaffold holding speakers. Anyway, Quicksilver cancelled a week or two before the show. James Gang, Jo Jo Gunne, Brownsville Station and Black Oak Arkansas were the ones who performed.
ReplyDeletei was at this concert in the arena. To this day I smile when I think of it. Rare opportunity to see these musicians up close and personal.
