My recollection of them is that they were dreadful yet he seems to reckon their Greatest Hits alb wasn't too bad. Whilst checking the date for this Sheffield gig I came across this post on a local forum for Sheff City Hall gigs <br />"I saw Sabbath supported by Black Oak Arkansas (around 74) Black Oak had released their High On The Hog album and were far the better of the two bands. They were simply awesome (I've heard a few folks say the same). We walked out halfway through the Sabbath set and went to the Albert for a couple o' pints"<br />Maybe I'm confusing BOA with some other band but how memories get distorted down the years? Bloody hell I've had to add Black Oak's Greatest Hits to my wants list now (YouTube in modern money) Thanks for that!
