It Was Foreigner To See Styx In The Sticks

by Jessica Hickok on July 5, 2010

I really do have Too Much Time On My Hands to come up with a title like that.  But it’s exactly what I did this 4th of July weekend.  I saw Styx (and Kansas and Foreigner) while in the sticks.  The sticks being a resurrected outdoor amphitheater in tiny little Lampe, Missouri.  Good ole Lampe, MO, located on Tablerock Lake with it’s raging population 2,261 people… plus an extra 4 (consisting of my family in our little getaway lake house just around the corner from the amphitheater) each weekend during the summer.

Foreigner concert 7-3-2010 Black Oak Mountain Amphitheater Lampe, MO

No doubt I have a flair for 70′s and 80′s music… okay all music… but Foreigner is probably one of my favorites which is so weird since a lot of their hits were before I was born in early 1978.  I guess this is what I get for having a cool mother (who was also very young) who hauled me around in the car listening to all of these seriously awesome bands.  Yes, these are the sounds of my childhood and I LOVED them!  It was also really nice to see The Black Oak Mountain Amphitheater re-open.

But back to the concert.  It rocked.  Kansas was good, Styx was better, but Foreigner was the best for sure.  With three bands that played, it was a long concert and we were there with our friends so needless to say, we had a good time and a good weekend worth documenting on the blog.
