Oak Ridge Boys
Went to the Oak Ridge
Boys show on April 2, 2008. The show was a 2 hour long - non stop high
energy thrill ride. We were treated to songs like "Come On In",
"Dream On", "Fancy Free", and "My Baby Is American
Made". Some special moments to mention include when they sang
"Thank God For Kids". They had a large screen at the rear of the
stage they showed pictures and video while they sang. It was nice to see
the Oaks shaking hands with lots of people during "Touch A Hand, Make A
Friend". They came out into the audience to shake as many hands as
they could. Several times throughout the show, the band was
spotlighted. Lead Guitar Don Carr was fantastic. Joe Bonsall of the
Oaks, floated all over the stage. In many of the pictures you can see him
back with the band, or dancing on stage. William Lee Golden sang a
wonderful song about the Ozarks. It prompted a standing ovation. Of
course lets not forget Duane Allen and Richard Sterban. The Oak Ridge Boys really know how to put on a show. After about an hour of singing they turned to Gospel.
"Amazing Grace" was inspirational. I especially liked the
way they sang for and highlighted the fighting men and women overseas, but
also the ones that serve and protect right here at home. The last 20 minutes of the show were dedicated to fun.
Singing songs like "Elvira", "Bobbie Sue", "Hard To Be Cool In A Minivan"
- a song that I certainly could relate to when I had my minivan. Somehow
with Branson Mom in the van though, I was cool. Many of the songs
during the show brought the crowd to their feet. It's clear to see why
these guys have been around so long and still popular across the
generations. These guys are truly wonderful.
