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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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..
@@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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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
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"! ✝❤🎸
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~
@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!
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!
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
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!!!!!!!!!!!
I just watched the documentary on them from Netflix, it was mostly concert footage & a few interviews from back then to 2000. If you are a fan you should check it out.
All three guitar players have now passed on. RIP Stanley Goober Knight, Harvey Burley Jett, and Ricky Lee Ricochet Reynolds. Part of the best live act ever.

It's pretty much unanimous: The 1970's produced the best rock and roll (and rock bands). 😎👍🏻
Damn straight, man!
A real band with TALENT!!! Southern rock at its finest!
ILUVU2
Im 63, saw them live a few times. They were incredible. Thanks for this post.....taking me back.

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”.
I saw Black Oak Arkansas at Rockingham Motor Speedway August 18,1972 North Carolina and it was GREAT !
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
That bass solo is awesome.
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!
I was there too i'd party locally with black oak twice in Fontana and then lytle creek
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.
@@brittonballenger3214 7:47 🎉😊 7:47 a pi nn3 ⚄ is this a great idea for a good game to play with in your game of the same time as you can 6.30am
No one can Washboard like Jim Dandy

@@kimsmith9135 nothing compared to Jim Dandy in my 70’s live concert memories. 💐
Cept Granny clampet
I agree
Wow.. the harmonies are AMAZING. Incredible talent!
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.
Yea. That entire first album is very spiritual. Especially those 2 last songs on it. Sorta can’t put it into words.
spiritual experience lol

Tommy Aldridge is the best rock drummer ever!
From Pearl Mississippi
One of the best bands of 70's
Loved Black Oak and especially when Ruby Starr joined them. Long live the South.

Boy, he could really stalk a stage👍🏻👍🏻🏁🏁🎶🎶
Reminds me of Jessie James Dupree, fucking awesome

You must have got baked. 🤪✌💓
@Wow, you were young! It must have been a blast for you! I would have been dancing all over the place with my bell bottoms on!
I just love those harmonies on "Dixie"!
You go Jim Dandy! BOA ROCKS 4EVA!
Thanks for posting the uncut version!
Rick , Harvey , Jim , Dirty, Tommy and the rest!!! You rule!!!
Stanley. And you're right
Don't forget Miss Ruby, rest her soul
love the bass
First concert for me in 1973 in little Rock Arkansas they were with grand funk
Some long haired Southern boys that could play!!
Rhode Island digs Black Oak Arkansas. I remember listening to Raunch n Roll on 8 track in my 67 Galaxie. Good stuff man.
I had a 68 camaro and a craig powerplay 8 track that I wore that 8 track tape out on. Good memories.
@@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.
@Ken Salmon i read somewhere that DLR got his style from Jim Dandy.
'76 Cutlass Supreme with 8-track here!!
@@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.
He cracks me up with that strut across the stage. Man , what great times these were !
Lord have mercy on my soul
Dayum...i love how they all moved around on stage! Really great vocals too..what a show!
I still have my Black Oak sun visor from the August jam at Charlotte motor speedway.Just can’t remember the year maybe mid 70
It was 1974
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!
And they were better showmen
@@marshacraven4174 You got that right Marsha!
BOA introducedd the Skynard band to the world and had them open up for a few shows to get them out there. I promise check the history books on this.
In Cowen ,WV we gave them their dues. They were phenomenal.
@@CN-dv9nj That's really cool, I didn't know that.
"Raunch N' Roll Live" is one of the greatest albums ever!
Love that bass guitar, at the beginning of the song.
Raunch 'N' Roll is the most entertaining album ever!!!
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 this band at Schaefer Stadium in Foxboro Mass when I was a kid. Out in the scorching sun. What a show. I still remember it!!!
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!
Margaret Richer I believe it was 1973. I was there too! My first rock concert!
What a great band!
RIP Stanley Knight!
Loved the original Black Oack Arkansas!!!
GREAT band. Always put on a superb show. Saw them twice in Boston during the 70's.
Bass player is killing it with a Gibson EB3 and Ampeg SVT stacks. Great tone, bet he's got some Rotosound round wound strings on it too.
That is solid tone.
We're show proud of them here in Northwest Arkansas.
local boys from very rural arkansas done good! saw then in Odessa, Texas back in the day! Ector county coliseum baby!
Indian Andy You should be very proud, I've always loved BOA.
Proud of em here in sw arkyrock too
As you should be they're great Psychedelica and historically they're incomparable.
Zane Goodeker I saw them when they were Knowbody Else. That was psychedelica.
WAS 12 IN 69 AND ALREADY WAS TURNED ON BY THIS BAND. AND MANY OTHERS, SUCH AS CACTUS, MC5, TOO MANY TO COUNT STILL GOT THE ORIGINAL VINYL TO PROVE IT.
Had the pleasure of opening a few shows for them in the 80's.
Nice guys.
Tommy was already gone tho damnit!
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.
"The Black and Black" tour! I imagine drinking contests where Mangum outdrank Ozzy!
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!
This is pure gold!
Great band! The very first concert I went to 74/75 Orpheum Theater Boston Mass Foghat was the opening band.
This is top notch!
I was there. 14 yrs. old. My first concert. Hot, sticky, and unforgettable.
One of my favorite bands. Live boa
That vocal feature brought a tear to my eye.
I love it were back in Dixie! to stay!
Damn! That bass during Dixie was awesome.
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
Love them! That was fun stuff at concerts!
I met them while I was in college near their home town...they were definitely legends even then...the stories that circulated around.,...
One great influence to Dave Lee Roth and Axl Rose.
The best of the best, just love this band, gotta watch their video's now and then.
First band I ever saw in concert!
I was there at Cal Jam! Go Jim Dandy Go!
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.

Excellent video and great band. Black Oak Arkansas is the best.
Thank you for this great song video!
Great harmonies and love for "DIXIE" I

"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"! ✝❤🎸
Man they were good. I saw them in Long Beach Ca during the Black and Blue tour. Black Oak blew Blue Oyster Cult out of the arena.
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~

This was ROCK!
So glad I got to see them numerous times. What a show
Black oat Arkansas forever original band of rock and roll 🎸
RIP Ricky Lee
Jim Dandy is the man! David Lee Roth must have been his best pupil!
roth sucked
@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!
@Roberto Munoz Huh?
David Lee roth was pretty impressive around 1981 but he was no Mangrum.
thought the same!!!
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!
Jim Dandy plays a MEAN fuckin' washboard!

I was there , Cal. Jam 1974
2021 y sigo escuchando este gran tema
Fantastic, a real rock band
Absolutely fantastic greatest band ever, love old kalija
This group was so underrated.
Jim influenced so many. Ask Shooter Jennings or Jesse James Dupree! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
With one of rocks finest drummers, Tommy Aldridge went on to many great bands, Ozzy, Whitesnake, too name a couple.
Southern man, southern rock, Dixie....don't get any better than this.
They really knew how to rock
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
Forgot to request anything from their Keep the Faith album! We played it over and over again! Also, High on the Hog!
Possibly the best rock bands of the century
SUPERIOR TO MODERN BANDS
Hell Yeah, That's my Jim Dandy!
