Format:DVD
This DVD has the best quality Black Oak Arkansas footage available today. If you are a BOA fan this is a must have!
While the title says "First 30 Years" there isn't anything recent from BOA on the CD. The title is misleading. It's mostly old stuff from the 70's, but it is still great.
The song list on the DVD is as follows:
Diggin' For Gold
Hey Y'All
Back Door Man
Hot & Nasty
Hot Rod
Mutants Of The Monster
Taxman
Jim Dandy
Jail Bait
Bump & Grind
Hey Y'All (reprise)
Dixie
If I Could Love You
Swimmin' In Quick Sand

The heyday of Black Oak Arkansas,however short,or long in some opinions is finally on DVD.AND I HAVE IT!Such a fun,unique,outlaw rockin' band.They had the sound the typical teenage wannabe wanted.From the raw,grizzled vocals,the guitar army,the machine gun-like thunder of the double bass drums.And what a show they could put on.1974-Frankfort Kentucky-Black Oak Arkansas w/special guest.The special guest was very good,BOA blew them off the stage.All the tunes in the DVD are very memorable to all us forty-somethings.The footage is also very memorable(all fun).When I first viewed this I(as a mature adult)had forgotten what a powerful show they did put on.The one thing that truly stood out in my mind at the live show I saw was the finale that is not on the DVD.A tune called "UP"that featured double lead guitar and probably the best drum solo I ever heard,picks up at the drum solo(a short change).Regardless I am very satisfied with this item and would recomend to all forty-somethings and any curious enough to want to see one of rocks best bands during their heyday.By the was,the special guest mentioned for the BOA concert was LYNYRD SKYNYRD.

One of the most hard rockin Southern raunch n' roll band from the 70's Black Oak Arkansas. When ever someone ask me who is BOA I say picture David Lee Roth fronting Lynyrd Skynyrd. Of course singer Jim "Dandy" Mangrum was way before David Lee Roth. JD was known for his low growl vocals, his mischievous smile and his washboard playing. W/ songs like "Hot & Nasty", "Hot Rod", "Bump & Grind" and "Back Door Man" among other BOA songs.
This DVD was put out by Rhino Home Video and consist of 89 minutes of footage from live to back stage. Although the title says The First 30 Years it really shows BOA from '73 to '75. There is some interviews but not sure what year that was recorded.
Majority is in color w/ a few clips black & white.
Starts off w/ "Diggin' For Gold" playing while footage of the band backstage. The history of the band w/ still photos. From tracks 2 to 9 is from London 1974.
I love "Mutants of The Monster" but they didn't do the intro JD speaks before going into the song. I don't know if it was edited out or he didn't do it at that show. Also BOA does a cover of "Taxman" which is a great number and the famous cover of "Jim Dandy". I say this '74 concert is one of the best on the DVD.
Then you have this documentary of BOA titled "All You Need Is Love". There is a Minister talking about the evils of BOA. Also the band shows their compound in the hills of Arkansas. They talk about this community that is surrounded by a huge wooden fence and inside is a little town from post office to a school.
Next concert on the DVD is North Carolina Motor Speedway from 1974. This is about 2 songs long w/ JD showing you around their tour bus.
A 1975 Summer Tour shows Tommy Aldridge drum solo. Tommy is an amazing drummer who played w/ many artists such as Whitesnake, Gary Moore, Pat Travers, Ozzy Osbourne, Ted Nugent and more.
Then you have 2 interviews one w/ JD the other w/ Butch Stone the Business Manager who tells about the time in '73 he drove a young political couple Bill & Hillary from Arkansas to see BOA in concert.
The last 2 songs are from 1973, Barton Coliseum which is a bit blurry.
For a true show I say the'74 London show is good footage of BOA.
I wish they had the concert form Don Kirshners Rock concert that shows JD jumping over the drummers set.
This is a pretty good collection since there isn't much footage around of BOA.
The band credits are Jim "Dandy " Mangrum, Rickie Lee Reynolds, Stanley Knight, Pat Daugherty, Harvey Jett, Jimmy Henderson, Tommy Aldridge, Wayne Evans and (the late) Ruby Starr. I didn't see Ruby Starr but if she was on film she was somewhere in the background.
Special features include a few still photos.

This is Their Best DVD Ever. However, It Contains the Exact Concert...

Great DVD
I had forgotten about this band and stumbled upon an old CD. I searched Amazon and found the DVD. I really enjoyed it. Brought back memories of the 70's.

Great Southern Rock/70's Time Piece
Somewhere between the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd was this shameless boogie band that wailed out twin and triplet guitar leads, rauncy vocals and had a huge live following. Read more
