Black Oak Arkansas - Not Fade Away (Live 1977)

[2Zero8discipline]

This was my first concert at only 13 years of age and I fell hard for live music after this and have been to hundreds of concerts since, nothing compares to this one there were frisbee's flying all around the thick pot-smoke filling the room full of top-less ladies and whiskey soaked party animals chasing them with their arms out. Gotta love Rock and Roll in the 70s !

If one had to pay royalties based solely on influence, Jim Dandy would be a super-rich man based on David Lee Roth's monthly dues alone.

[kamaras1uttes]

@jannyrcobs And based on Axl Rose's due also

Black Oak playin' Exodus harmony's with three Ebows... saw this tour as well as Raunch & Roll tour. One of my all time faves!

[bravenewworldorder89]

Is that Pat Daugherty on bass or Andy Tanas?

[kamaras1uttes]

@bravenewworldorder89 Andy Tanas was the bass player in these times.

Jim this is one of the best songs you ever did, Always, Mel

[thehellhawk]

YES!! One of the greatest things ever caught on film right here!!

“Race with the Devil” from this broadcast is good as well but this song is a true classic performance in every sense of the word from beginning to end. Thank you for uploading!!!

May the people of the world finally see this and understand why Mangrum & co. are genius.

Damn great video!

[1953Freebird]

No Ricky Lee?

[hiwattdr504]

Drummer is Joel Williams. I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with him on numerous occasions and he's one of Memphis' finest drummers.
