Back in either 1971 or 1972 on July 4th, they held a good rock concert at a rodeo arena in Camdenton Missouri at Lake of the Ozarks. Here was the lineup: Jo Jo Gunne, The James Gang (after Joe Walsh had left), Brownsville Station, and Black Oak Arkansas. Originally Quicksilver Messenger Service was on the bill but they were replaced by Jo Jo Gunne. The price of admission? Five bucks. I loved the 70’s! I don’t think I ever paid more than 10 bucks to see a rock concert and I saw acts like Yes, Jethro Tull, The Who, and many others. Anywhoo, I have featured all of the acts from that concert before. Here’s Brownsville Station doing the original Smoking in the Boys Room. Brownsville Station used to be all over the stage and I remember once seeing Cub Koda, the guitar player, sliding between the bass players legs.
