Black Oak Arkansas also did a hour long set starting at 9 pm and didn't sound very good. There were only two original members present in this version of BOA. Jim Dandy was his usual energentic self and Ricky Lee seemed very tired and by the end of the set was sittin down. Drummer Victor Lukenbaugh was borderline terrible. Female vocalist Sammy Seauphine is a nice addition to the band.

I hung out after the show near the Merch Booths hoping to meet Jim & Ricky. I was the only one waiting.

After the crowd cleared, the merch booths tore down and most security and employees left the band was still there with most members in their travel van.

I walked back to the stage area where I was able to meet Jim, Sammy and Arthur. No Rickey...maybe next time?
