Debbie,
I can remember seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd on their first concert tour in 1973 at UCA (then SCA). I would imagine Richie Arnold remembers it too. Later I saw them backing up Eric Clapton at Memphis Memorial Coliseum with Lionel Owens -about 1974. Patti Hearst had just been kidnapped and Lionel thought he saw her in the crowd. He spent half the concert looking for her in the crowd. I'll never forget "Free Bird" though. They ended their set as usual with it and the whole crowd were on there feet. Clapton, believe it or not, had a tough act to follow that day.

Greg, I do remember seeing Skynard at UCA. We sat on the second row. After the show, there were streakers (remember that!) running all over campus and the band came out and watched it with the students. Oh, to be that young again.

OMG the streakers. I was dating a guy there and did not realize he was the one who ran all over campus doing that until I stopped dating him.

Richie and Becky,
I remember after the concert watching the members of Skynyrd crawling all over a campus security car (trying to appear rebellious against authority, no doubt). We just stood there and watched them like a circus act. Becky, I thought that you WERE one of the streakers that night trying to keep up with your boyfriend.

Now Greg you know I was not one of those streakers..or was I? LOL....No it was all guys if I remember corrrectly. Yes they did jump all over the campus police car after that concert and then students did the same when they decided to streak again at a later date.

Well I have been reading here, and I am surprised no one has mentioned this band since they were so close to us. They even played at our state fair several years. Black Oak Arkansas. Even if their heyday was short lived it was like David Lee Roth fronting Lynard Skynard! GO Jim Dandy! They played at Barton in 73. Also I heard Malia is married now to Robert Parkinson and living in Flippin. I keep waiting for her songs to be posted because I think I know what at least one will be!

About 7 years ago I was at the Lumberyard (a bar) in eureka springs and Jim Dandy was there playing. I had a lot of fun listening to him and went up to talk to him, telling him that I remembered him and the group being at John Deere when my Dad worked there. Back then that was a real treat to meet someone that made an album in our town.
