Oh no sweat Doug, I am guessing that between keeping that show rolling and all of the work that went into it, that you were even more tired than some of the 70 year old rockers up there.

Oh what a night is right. Now, could you give a well deserved shameless plug for how we can buy a DVD of the evening? I even want to throw in a pitch to visit the Hall of Fame at the Pavilion and keep this happening for years to come.

Oh my gosh, Jeff..How could I have forgotten The Pilgrims?? Not intentional, I assure you. I have made the correction on the blog. They were absolutely OUTSTANDING Saturday night!

Awesome night! Was just a small kid and never got to see the Pilgrims play in their day, so it was fun to hear the music and put faces with all of the stories I’ve heard through the years. They might not have made the list above, but I thought they were terrific as well.

Funny how so many of the band members talked of not picking up an instrument or singing for years and then watching them take into the music as if they had never quit.

Great job and thanks again to everyone for their efforts in giving us a great night of memories and music.

Where did you see the Flippers. I grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota, and used to go see them and the Uglies when I was in high school. Would love to see them again

I just saw Ron Nelson’s photos, and they are first class! Ron is a super photographer and one helluva nice guy. If you need professional photos done….take the drive to Lake Preston….You’ll be thrilled! He did my daughter’s graduation pictures and we are thrilled years later!

Doug, I have fond memories of “The Mob.” I saw them at a midnight show in Las Vegas in 1970. They were wild and great! I had no idea they had South Dakota connections.

I was out there about 3:15 to get a book from Chris Harper, which he had already sold out on Friday night! Next year Deb and I are planning on coming for the whole evening. I am still trying to get over the fact I saw the Fabulous Flippers this year! Thank you for the work all of you do on this wonderful project. Be well my friend!
