Black Oak haven't progressed rock music (or even Southern Rock), but I find their absolute no-holds-barred, unashamed "butchness" endearing. From another planet (outside of the PC universe), but cute. I don't think they took themselves too seriously, nor did - judging from the bemused look of most of the California Jam crowd (which on this day were there to see "serious hard and soft rock acts" such as Seals & Crofts, The Eagles, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and ELP, though the latter never played thanks to DP sabotaging their appearance) - most of their audience. I have a recent double CD anthology of their work and I doubt whether any CD collection needs more of their work to be representative, in fact one CD should probably do it.
Young David Lee Roth must have studied Jim Dandy quite intently.
And Tommy Aldridge has drummed worse, a lot more bloated music in later years.
And hearing an EB-3L that clearly is nice. Goes to show how long scale, a maple neck and a pup moved away from the neck can do your being heard as a bassist a whole lot of good.
