Before "Rocklahoma" in Pryor, Oklahoma existed, there was "Roklahoma" that happened in Norman, Oklahoma on September 6th, 1980 that featured: The Doobie Brothers, Van Halen, Pat Benatar, & Sammy Hagar. Ultimately, this show was responsible for the University of Oklahoma getting the surface on the football field changed to a new synthetic turf that was made famous during the Wishbone, Option offense days the Sooners played w/ Barry Switzer as Head Coach. We are joined by special guest concert photographer Vernon L. Gowdy III. Vernon was in attendance at the original "Roklahoma" & also shot the show. This is Oklahoma concert history, where the idea began!
