- Ever Wonder What It Was Like On Stage with Black Oak Arkansas in the Warly 70's? Well.... Here ya go!! Here's an on stage point of view with the band. This was shot in 1975 with a professional Canon reel. The sound was already killer, but I boosted it up in Davinci Resolve so you can hear Pat & Tommy better. I hope you enjoyed! Complete wiht a washboard smash!! haha

Never been a better frontman since! Consummate performer!! ❤️
Wow! What a great time to be alive!🤓
The real southern rock pioneers!!! Thanks BOA for the great RAW music!!!! Still here ,still listening to BOA!!!!
Loved it , they all put their all into their performances, could watch them over and over ! 💕Thanks again Piper 😊
Saw them in 71 and 74, as always they were great. I just went back to confirm the dates I saw them and looked at BOA entire history of tour dates. Incredible list of musicians they played with. Jim Dandy must know everybody and have great stories. Go Jim Dandy!
I was blown away when I seen em on the High On The Hog tour ! Jim never stopped moving ! The whole band was like a live wire
I was only 5 years old in 1974 but I totally get it!!!
I didn't have to WONDER. The band 'lit up the stage' at the Fieldhouse at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. It was the best concert I ever attended.
Too cool, I always wonder what people thought back then when they first saw Jim Dandy onstage, as far as I know no one else looked or performed like that then.
I for one, was absolutely captivated by Jim Dandy's stage presence and antics, plus the way he changed his voice which was like no other. HIGH ENERGY TO BOOT!!!! Such superb entertainment all the way around =)
Thank you for sharing this and other videos of your father. I was a big fan of BOA in the seventies as a teenager in Southern California. I saw them perform at the Hollywood Palladium and remember your dad sticking his head out a window and hollering at the crowd on Hollywood Boulevard while the BOA bus was driving away after the show. I also got to see him perform and talk to him briefly at a small bar/club in Palm Desert in I think the early nineties. I remember Tommy Aldridge was there to see your dad as well. I still have all my old early BOA albums. Thanks again for your videos.
Black Oak were such an awesome band and basically created many of the rock moves, attitudes and cliches that have went on and on (and Southern Rock) I remember I bought the album 'Raunch and Roll' when I was 14 years old and particularly loved that song 'When Electricity Came to Arkansas' and used to jam out on it. I think its terrible the way that the band was cheated by the crooked industry and certain greedy players which sadly is not at all uncommon (particularly for those days) and I was able to see BOA live back in the day and it is a great memory. I hope that the band will get their due someday and in some way. It would make a cool movie. God bless Jim Dandy
I agree on all points sir. ✨
No other words than totally awesome!
Great video ! Saw BOA live many times over the years , thy blew my rock and roll mind every time , thanks Piper ! Love BOA in south west Missouri
Seen them live many times. Great rocking band.
Couldn't tell you how many times I saw Black Oak live... always a good show back in the day! Jim Dandy was Mick Jagger Iggy Pop and Tina Turner all mixed together in a bucket with a Southern accent scratchin' a washboard... well worth the $6.50 admission for them and whoever else was on the bill...👍
April 23, 1974 Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena Montrose w/ Sammy Hagar, REO, And BOA headlining. $4.50 tickets What a show!!!!!!!!!! Been on a million gravel roads since then.
@@don66hotrod94 now that would have been the show of a lifetime!!
Wow there is NOTHING like watching Jim Dandy strut his stuff across that stage! Thank you so much for posting the great videos and pics!!
I wasn't on stage but I can tell ya it was a blast to be in audience seen them in early 70 in st Louis think I paid $15.00 for a ticket Jim dandy is a short guy with a lot of attitude it was a great show
Three of the four times I saw them were outdoors. As good as they sounded on vinyl, they were unmatched outdoors. Thanks again for the great memories 😎👍❤️
Thanks for the compliment...I was the sound man!
Wow! Thanks for sharing!!!
Dad had big heels on them boots! :-)
Cos he’s 5 foot 6 on a good day with his back popped fresh off the rack. 😂
@@TheRealPiperDandy he's a giant to his fans! ;-)
@@TheRealPiperDandy he looks soo tall, that’s so hard to believe he’s under 6 foot!! His arms, legs and torso look like he’s a good 6’3” like my ex husband. Incredibly awesome at any size
I couldn't even begin to know the feeling of seeing wave after wave of people on knowing they are ther for the electricity you are generating for all. The 74 California Jam had to be totally mind blowing for fans as well as the band. I can remember watching it on tv then, I was 20, still gives me chills. Just so awesome. Thanks to all band members from the many lineups for letting all cont. To enjoy
That was an epic washboard smash!!! Go Jim dandy go! ❤️
I first saw BOA just at the end of JD's pre-spandex days. All the energy was there, Jim still had his beard and was dressed in white bell-bottoms and a red shirt. The latest album was If An Angel Came To See You, Would You Make Her Feel At Home. This was at the end of September '72.
Then, just a little over 2 months later, Raunch and Roll was recorded and JD had reinvented himself. Gone was the beard, out came the spandex and Gigolo, Hot Rod and Up were the new songs on the album. BOA (or at least Jim) had basically ditched the electric hillbilly image in favor of the strutting rooster persona most people remember him for.
It was a drastic change. And sudden. I always wondered how that came about.
Speaking of the newer (at that time) songs, the end of "Up" (after the drum solo) always reminded me of the end of "Free Bird" in the way the guitars wind it up tight at the end. Best that I can tell, Free Bird came just a little after BOA did the Raunch and Roll album.. I'm sure It's just a coincidence ...... LOL
He was just young and finding his way. I did the same thing in my early 20’s. I butterflied (as in changed) quite a bit. It wasn’t a band decision or a studio/record company decision or any of that. ❤️
@@TheRealPiperDandy Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I can see how that would be and pretty much figured something like you describe. Still, I'm glad I got to see BOA pre-Raunch and Roll as there were some personal favorites they performed that I never saw them do live after that, including my all-time favorite "To Make Us What We Are".
The Raunch and Roll tour couldn't be beat for the energy level, though. Never seen anything else that compared to it!!
Any comment on the similarities between "Up" and "Free Bird" with the guitar windup at the end? It sure seems to me that Skynyrd was listening to some BOA at that time and drew more than a little musical inspiration from "Up". It's ok if you don't but, for those that might be curious, "Raunch and Roll" was released in February 1973 and Skynyrd's first album was recorded late March - early May 1973. I'll just say I trust my ears!
This band rocks love them.
What a great band.
That was cool!
I was lucky enough to see Black Oak Arkansas during their X Rated tour.
That was a show. They were my favorite band. I still love them.
Thanks for sharing.
High Energy Rock And Roll. Glad I had seen it. It was a sight to see.
You're dad made all of us feel like we was apart of the show back then. Loved oak
JAMMIN! LOVE IT! KEEP THE FAITH!
ThankYou so much for this!!!
True innovators! Your daddy sure was proud of his package! haha. Rightfully so! We all know who influenced David Lee Roth's moves.
Absolutely amazing band and Jim Dandy set the bar for frontmen to reach he always gave it 100 percent on stage.
Stay High Cuz You Are High... Love ya Jim!
This is rock is all about everyone!!!! This is gold!
Hell Yeah! Thank You!
You're a good daughter! So many people are still interested in your Rockin dad.
Talk about front row 🤘
1974 I was 14 me and two other Buddies snuck into Barnhill Field House in Fayetteville Arkansas and I got blown away what a great band Ruby Starr was awesome from that point on I've been in rock bands all my life I'm 62 now and still going after the show Tommy Aldridge through this black and red garters to us and some pieces for the drum set we thought we were blessed by the rock gods we hung out until they all lived in silver Mercedes man what a great show what a great man I'll never forget them guys they were cool rock and roll
Best rock drummer ever Tommy Aldridge such amazing resume,BOA,WHITESNAKE ,OZZY,QUITE RIOT and on and on.
LORD HAVE MERCY ON SOUL what Fantastic music. Seen BOA many many times, have the group several times in NOLA , now in SC seen Over Yonder tour
That was awesome!!! I have been lucky enough to see BOA live several times, one time always sticks out for me and gives me a laugh. It was in phx az at a music club named The Mason Jar. At the time The Gin Blossoms were on the verge of hitting it big, they were opening for BOA that night. It was a rocker crowd and ready for BOA. The audience booed the Blossoms and kept yelling "We want Black Oak!" so Blossoms cut it short. Shortly after Blossoms hit it big, but everytime I saw them I had to chuckle thinking of that night. If you dont know who The Gin Blossoms are then I guess I'm showing my age! Thanks for sharing Piper.
I was 16 years old in March of 1975. I recall a BOA concert around that time, I think.................😁
That's some crowd!!
Hi Ms . Piper...thank you so much for sharing ❤ I had a thimble your Dad played with and gave me...unfortunately it went with a house fire...along with alot of other memorabilia. Have no autographed 8 by 10s of the band now..including Ricky Lee. Sad..but good memories. Please tell you Dad that Jenny, Bolins friend sends prayers 🙏 and sympathy for him and the band !!! Rock on!
Aldrich was a kick ass timekeeper.
Saw em several times way back when in the 70s
RIP Rickie Lee Reynolds Thank you
Dang this takes me back
2 people just suck! How can anybody give a thumbs down to this?
Oh pay no attention to that nonsense. Lol that’s just 2 girls that stalk me. If you look at 90% of my videos, there are 1 to 2 dislikes. Lol both from the same 2 broads. It’s hysterical actually. I mean, I know this rules, you know this rules, so who cares what those bitter envious chicks think. 😂💯❤️
@@TheRealPiperDandy yes it rules and they drool! 😃
Maybe they're old groupies who couldn't get past the roadies... lol...
@@coozmokramer hahaha shiiiit lol my mom once popped a girls eye out with her stiletto shoe because one slithered backstage and grabbed him. Hahaha my mom whipped that shoe off and was like NOT TODAY BITCH. 😂
@@TheRealPiperDandy Well, you've identified one of them... 👁️
What a band. Ain’t nobody like ‘em….
great! love it!
thank you for that, it was like I was there on stage
Excelent!, this is
Madness!.(From México)
Thanks piper.
Now that is Rock~n'~Roll
Loved it !!!! ❤️ Does anyone know where this was filmed at ? Thanks Piper for Keeping The Faith !!! We Need It !!!!
Dad can’t remember, I asked him a bit ago... he said many performances ended just like that. So it’s a coin toss as to where. But I’ll ask Rickie, his memory is better. ✨
@@TheRealPiperDandy Thanks !!! ❤️👍
@@TheRealPiperDandy Posting 9-9-21 at 6:27 pm ET. Saw a few minutes ago on wikipedia that Rick Reynolds died of COVID complications on September 5 at age 72. RIP, Ricochet!
I played with Jim and Ricky in the mid '80s. Not the same, but pretty wild!
Awesome footage!!! I've seen them too many times to count! I have numerous pieces of scrub boards! One of Tommy's signed drumsticks, guitar pics and some other goodies!
David Lee Roth obviously took some notes… I can almost smell the weed & spilled Boone’s Farm wine! I was a kid when I saw them on “Rock Concert” with Ruby Starr… definitely a one-of-a-kind band. Wish I’d been able to see them in the day.
Many rock and rollers smashed their guitars or drums onstage, but only Jim Dandy smashed a washboard 😀
I can't get over his heels being so high!! I used to have a pair of boots like that and it took awhile to get used to just walking in them, much less do stunts or the splits! WOW!!! Amazes me more even now!! Great job as always Jim Dandy!!
Ma'am, your father is
generous man.
Go jim....always
Fayetteville Ark. 1976 last i saw them
Tommy Aldridge on the intro!
Run to the hills of Arkansas
I have a few albums of
Black Oak Arkansas.
That was great. I got dizzy watching him go back and forth. Now post the videos from backstage. Lol!
Haha!
He was the inspiration for David Lee Roth.
You single Piper? No, I'm not asking because Jim Dandy is your dad, although I am a BOA fan. I really like you for some reason and think we could have a lot of fun together. I love your personality, the way you look and dress, everything!!
"Stay high cuz you are high!"
HAhahaha I was like: well, I dunno if you have a choice in that matter if you’re already high. Lol 😂😜❤️
@@TheRealPiperDandy LOL!!! You've got that right, Piper!!!! I know we were all high right with him at the Cowtown Ballroom in KC!!! An entire group of girls squeezed into an old 1967 Ford Galaxy 500 for that trip in the dead of winter as I recall. Almost front seats and caught the joint midair, took a toke and flipped it back onstage. Did your dad catch it? You betcha'!! That was also the night the drummer tossed his drumstick out to the crowd and my friend Kathy caught it =)
@@rhondairelandquiroz1070 Reminds me of when Jim was bent back as far as he could and belting out as forceful as he could, and an audience member threw a joint his way and it landed is his chest hair. After he finished, he took it off of his chest, lit it, hit it, and threw it back into the audience !
@@meauxjeaux431 I can absolutely see that happening! The show must go on! LOL
Big heels. ❤️
One great influence to Dave Lee Roth and Axl Rose.
No shit 1:59! He picks up a Frisbee and wings it! Do ya think I like that? HELL YES! www.ShanesFlyingDiscShow.com! See bands and look for Black Oak! Thanks Piper! He was wearing that same outfit bracelets and all when i got my shots that made the webisodes! shaneksmithphotography.com/2020/05/03/black-oak-arkansas/
Those are super rad!
Another thing is, black oaks albums never really captured their live energy and heaviness.
Sad that RIckie is no longer with us
He must have smashed up so many wash boards
Always liked black oak they dont get the credit they deserve ... Almond brothers skynard & a few others get always get the credit for inventing " southern rock " but fact is black oak did it 1st
Great video. So much energy with his music and shows. Hey Piper. I have a few short videos and some pictures I think you would like. Message me on FB and I'll post them for you. Thanks for sharing with up. Your friend Earl
Sounds like a plan! ✨
ever trip on those heals?
Magic🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🌈🌈
Totally cool perspective of the coolest live band of that era. I saw then live 5 times. At one of the shows we were all standing on the backrests of the seats, hanging onto eachother so we wouldnt fall. The place was going crazy ! Piper, if your reading this PLEASE release another live DVD of classic BOA. I'd give alot to get my hands on a Raunch and Roll show.
What's the name of this song?
Up
Didn’t they perform with a female artist Ruby Starr?
David Lee Roth...WHO??
