North Carolina here and I agree 100% with you, the late 60's and all the way through the 70's most definintly produced the best rock and roll and the best bands to have ever walked out on any stage anywhere!! I was lucky enough to see Jimi in '67 while he was opening up for the Monkees and before I saw Jimi I was already learning to play the drums, but after I saw Jimi I knew that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar and I'm proud to say I'm going on my 57th year now of playing the guitar! That one concert changed the course of my then young life!! For Christmas of 1967 "Santa Claus" brought me a Teisco guitar with a little Checkmate amp and my parents told me that if I learned how to play that they would tell Santa Claus to bring me a better guitar and amplifier for Christmas of '68. So my parents took me to this little music/ jewelry store and had me to pick out a guitar and amp so they could tell Santa Claus which ones to get, so they had a used white 1960 Stratocaster hanging up on the wall and I believe it was meant to be mine because that's the year that I was born, in 1960! I still have that 1960 Stratocaster to this very day too!! I have had a LOT of offers to try to buy it from me for some crazy amounts of money but I'll NEVER sell that guitar, in fact I've even thought about being buried with it when my time comes but I'm gonna leave it to my younger Brother instead. Getting back to the music store where I got the Stratocaster from, then of course I had to pick out an amp and I picked out a Marshall 100 watt head with one 4x12 cabinet that went with it. I believe it was a Plexi head. Needless to say that was the longest 4 or 5 months in my life while I was waiting for Christmas day to arrive! I didn't have the heart to tell my parents that I had already known for a couple of years that they were Santa Claus. But Christmas morning finally got here and within about 30 minutes I had my parents regretting buying me that 100 watt Marshall Plexi head with the 4x12 cabinet!! That was Christmas of '68 and by the time Christmas of '69 rolled around I had started my first band with a few of my friends and by the time Christmas of 1970 rolled around we had our first paying gig for a New Years eve party and we were playing Deep Purple's Child in time and then went right into Jimi's Purple Haze when the clock hit midnight. I'd rather be playing or writing music than I had eating a good ribeye steak cooked to perfection on a charcoal grill with hickory chips added to the charcoal!! I'll continue playing the guitar just as long as God let's me keep moving my fingers and arms!!
It's a shame. No one would dare play "Dixie" any more. I miss the days before we all had to feel guilty about everything ever. Seeing BOA do "Dixie" live when I was a kid brought tears to my eyes. But it didn't want me to reboot the confederacy. Just a great tune.
I grew up in Oklahoma during the 70's. Black Oak Arkansas was revered there. Jim Dandy was a folk hero/legend. I always felt they were and are very underated. They could do it all.
I saw them open for Mountain in 1971 at the OKC Civic Center. Being the holiday season, their encore started with an A Capella version of Silent Night. Jim Dandy commented before the song that some people said we were dirty. they can’t call this song, dirty! They were actually louder than Mountain.
As a Southerner, I couldn't help getting swelled with pride when they sang Dixie. Ive seen them many times, and even backstage in NOLA at A Warehouse...but they didn't always play Dixie. What a terrific band and a great bunch of guys to hang out with.
I was there. Helicopters had dropped thousands of paper Black Oak Arkansas visors(one black & one blue-different styles) during the stage changes before their set. It was awesome!
Bella means beauty and you are one! Grew up listening to BOA. Saw them in concert and got to meet them afterwards! They are a whote!!! I live in LYH VA!
Have you heard Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars play electric washboard? He took it to a whole other level! Electricity came to North Mississippi first. See their videos.
Black Oak Arkansas kicking ass at the California Jam they were the number one touring acts in the United States with Grand Funk Railroad together and peed out every other concert touring act for the whole year Black Oak deserves a lot more than they ever got Grand Funk they got a lot and believe me it was fun got to see him both couple of times backed I produced and did a show with Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas and got to meet him and we became good friends and he's a great man and a great rock and roll star so give it up Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas
This sends chills throughout my entire body. There’s something very primal and human about their music and seeing them play it in front of so many people is awesome and inspiring.
@@micronut6082 I'm 45. Born in 77. Only discovered this band a couple of years ago. So obviously we'll before my time. But ALL the best music was in the 70s as I'm discovering.
This brings back so many good memories of me and my late husband when we first started our life together and seeing some good concerts in the 70s! Best music and best times of our lives! Miss him every day but especially when I hear music from our past!
Hey little sister, he not gone, he lives on in you!!!!!! Remember those good times as the day coming, ya'll be back together again and listening to Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. Lynyrd Skynyrd, and so many more. I lost my ole lady a few years back. A lot of good times in a 30yr marriage. But the day coming we be back together. Never give up on the memories as they just part of life you can relive any time you want!!! Just find a nice quiet place and enjoy!!!! PEACE!!!! ✌✌✌✌✌
@@michaelsoltero7116 I saw them in 73 and 74, but not in Cali., only here in N.Y.S You guys must of had a hell of a good time. One that will never be forgotten I'm sure..
These musicians were every bit as good as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws or Allman Bros Band but never got the commercial break they deserved. The dueling guitars were incredible!
@@htbud11 i had a 74 Plymouth with a craig power play and the obligatory Jensen 6x9 speakers. This and High on the Hog got a lot of play time. Loved Happy Hooker.
@@danielstewart7163 When Gene Simmons took a record company executive to see Van Halen the exec. said it looked and sounded like Led Zeppelin fronted by Jim Dandy.
13 years old Cal Jam 1. Traffic Jam for a couple of miles from the old Ontario Motor Speedway with "hippies" parking their vehicles on the highway walking the miles. Quite the sight. Had to settle for Cal Jam 2 when I was old enough. Sweet memories.
yep thats black oak arkansas at 58 they still make me want to rock on thank you i was 13 when my older brother brought your first album home, i will rock to it to this day, happy times very happy times jm dandy is still handsom...
I saw Black Oak AR at The Corral in Topanga Canyon just before their first album came out and before Jim Dandy had teeth. It was one of the greatest performances I ever saw!
Thank you for this great song video! Great harmonies and love for "DIXIE" I had BOA on my 8-Tracks in the 70's! "Go Jim Dandy, Go!" His voice and lyrics still etched in my mind. Guitars, amazingQ The whole band... What energy!No one could play a Wash Board like JD! "Keep The Faith"! ✝❤🎸
Saw them in 72 or 73 in Columbia SC. A mere 16 years old, not my first concert by any means, but one of the best I had seen in that era! Great memories! Rock On!
I seen them 2 times, first time they opened 4 black Sabbath. They blew Sabbath off the stage. Think it 1974 Charleston Wv or 1975. Then saw them that summer, all time greats of rock an roll.
Saw them in the mid 70's it was such a great concert! I'll never forget him stru5ting across the stage in all white that night. I've loved Halls of karma ever since!
Just finished a jam session with New Riders of the Purple Sage and dove right into Black Oak Arkansas! Amazing! Brings back fond memories of my youth! They just don't make music like this anymore.
I been watching BOA tonight, My roots are Jonesboro and Lake city area in Arkansas, I will be 70 Nov 2. I was blessed to grow up in the 70s with. This music
BLACK OAK ARKANSAS. LOVE YOUR VOICE AND HOW YOU PLAY THE WASHBOARD. YOU GUYS BROUGHT MUSIC TO US . THANKS .LOVED YOUR CONCERTS .YOU WERE GREAT. LOVE YOU JIM YOU ARE DANDY
Great video. A buddy and I was at the California Jam way back then. I remember BOA doing Dixie. It was as good as I remembered. The 70's was a greatest era for Rock. Hands Down!
Wow, really great! A washboard, a jug of 'shine & a couple badass guitars-must have been a fun time here. I got to see them once back in the '70s, high energy. If you're feelin sad this bands' music can snap you right out of it~
I seen. Blackoak ark. And 6 other damn good bands at Gteatbend Kansas summer jam in 1978 my husband was such toast he hardly seen anything but me man think had best time of my life that day!!!!!!! It was GREAT TIME WISH COULD GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS LIFE WAS SIMPLE AND LOVE WAS EVER WHERE!!!! GREAT DAYS GREAT CONCERTS WONDERFUL TIME!!!! JIM DANDIE CAME ON STAGE IN THOSE WHITE LEATHER PANTS AND IT WAS WOW!!!! OMG!!!!!!! GOOD TIME!!!!!! GOOD OL DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!
All three guitarist on this stage are now gone, Stanley Knight, Rick Reynolds, and Harvey Jett... Also Jimmy Henderson who is not in the band at this time... Thank you for the great music...., rest in peace
Living in North La. during the 70's I bought Black Oak's first LP before I had heard them live. I loved that record and many of the other LP's that followed during that decade. I saw them live at least once or twice a year during the 70's and they always put on a great show. Loved the Confederate Flag Les Paul, Drum stand and playing DIXIE. True Southern Rock Band Greatness.
@Steve, David couldn't touch Jim! Jim had those natural Southern boy moves, struttin' his stuff! I loved their music! I loved their hair! I loved everything about them!
One of my favorite BOA songs was "Gravel Roads". I decided I was going to buy myself an old pick up truck and paint gravel roads on the doors, and set off to find Jim Mangrum, but I never did. A regret from my teen years😢
It's pretty much unanimous: The 1970's produced the best rock and roll (and rock bands). 😎👍🏻

You are right. It's a 100 year old classic.
Jim Dandy didn't get the memo that white males are supposed to be ashamed of themselves.
And written by someone from Ohio which was definitely not the south anyway. We live in strange times.
As a Southerner, I ain’t ashamed of “Dixie”.
We sang Dixie in grade school during music class,screw the gutless cowards who have started to change our country,
I'm from Australia and I like Southern Rock obviously. Lol.Jim Dandy is a seriously underrated frontman
Jim Dandy Mangrum was ABSOLUTLY David Lee Roth's mentor.
Exactly he was a forerunner and the best back then
I grew up in Oklahoma during the 70's. Black Oak Arkansas was revered there. Jim Dandy was a folk hero/legend. I always felt they were and are very underated. They could do it all.
Thst must have been awesome.
Under-rated ? They were popular as hell... touring, MTV videos etc
But they Can't do it now. Retire,Jim. J. Bolin the drummer, needs a lot of practice. More than his brother,Tommy Bolin .R.I.P. .
I saw them open for Mountain in 1971 at the OKC Civic Center. Being the holiday season, their encore started with an A Capella version of Silent Night.
Jim Dandy commented before the song that some people said we were dirty. they can’t call this song, dirty!
They were actually louder than Mountain.

Some long haired Southern boys that could play!!

Forgot to request anything from their Keep the Faith album! We played it over and over again! Also, High on the Hog!
This is top notch!
And the sexy blonde lead singer image is born... Now I get it. Thank you David, Vince, Jani, Bret and so many others
Very talented+imaginative band, and they do have a little bit of energy to, haha Geez it's as if they could play another 3 hours.
Very good video and love the "Dixie".
With one of rocks finest drummers, Tommy Aldridge went on to many great bands, Ozzy, Whitesnake, too name a couple.
One of my favorite BOA songs was "Gravel Roads". I decided I was going to buy myself an old pick up truck and paint gravel roads on the doors, and set off to find Jim Mangrum, but I never did. A regret from my teen years😢
Goosebumps when they start DIXIE!!! Southerner here. Southern Rock boys! ✌🏻
