This record was in a bunch that my uncle gave me. Can’t find anything on it on Discogs or anywhere really. Is anyone here familiar with the festival or any of the bands/musicians that played it. Just kinda curious since there’s no information on it anywhere. TIA

Veterans Park in Shreveport had an amphitheater that hosted Labor Day concerts for a time. It looks like the June show referenced in the notes was maybe the earliest version of that, with Muscular Dystrophy (famous for the Labor Day telethon at that time) listed as the beneficiary.
Stevie Ray Vaughn played there in 1984. The Ken Shepherd in the notes was local DJ Shotgun Ken Shepherd, father of Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Little KWS famously saw that show as a tot and became determined to play guitar.
Joan Jett was there in 1985. South Paw and Flash Kahan were openers for her. I was there somewhere.
South Paw and Danny Johnson & the Bandits played a lot around Shreveport in those days.
There are lots of Facebook posts about those old shows, as well as several pics and news articles from the Twin Blends history guys.

If I had a million Dollars I would bring that gem back to fruition. My dad has many stories of playing gigs there. My Mom said there was always a good crowd and would make for a fun Saturday/Saturday night.

So I'm trying to figure this out. Louisiana Hot Sauce was Mike, Don and Eddie. But the Louisiana Hot Sauce Band was Roger and David. Why did those two not warrant the cache to be in the actual ""Louisiana Hot Sauce" act?

Looks like the "band" (keyboard and drums) was listed separately from the main act consisting of the guitar, bass, and vocals guys. It is odd.

Yes he did. Also Rick Derringer, Alice Cooper among others. Below is a link to a Guitar World article about him.

Older Shreveport residents may remember Danny from Axis. Great underrated band worth listening to.

He lived down the street from my parents for a while. He was a nice guy.

Some friends and I intended to attend. We arrived just in time to turn around and go back home.

Shreveport was fortunate Johnson had so many connections, a lot of really good talent came to town because of him. He played with several high profile bands.

Danny Johnson and Buddy Flett are two guitarists that should be better known through out the state.
