The story of when Sam & Dave played Transylvania University in Lexington, KY. January of 1968, activities of the annual T-Day Week was to hold a Friday evening concert. The original concert lineup was to feature The Temptations and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. Due to contract issues, Motown was not coming to the Bluegrass. Sam and Dave the Fifth Dimension was given consideration by the Student Council as they would approach the Transy Board for approval. By February of 1968, the Sultans of Sweat, SAM & DAVE, was locked in. If you paid your Transy Student Activity Fee, you were lucky to see Sam & Dave for free! Not a student then the Sam & Dave Revue would cost you $3. Still lucky! May 9th, 1968 at 5:30 P.M. two acts opened the for Sam & Dave. One opening act may have been Joe Wells and the Soulmen from Louisville. Soon after, Sam & Dave along w the Memphis Horns took the stage. Sam & Dave put on a hell of a performance that night ending with "Hold On, I'm Coming." This account was all based on extensive research this morning. I wasn't there but would have loved to been. However, I did know one person who was in attendance that night. I interviewed him today. He would drive to Bowling Green in the 60s to get these phenomenal records produced in Memphis on the Stax label. I ended up with the records many years later. The person in the crowd that night at Transy to see Sam & Dave was my dad. Article excerpts from the Transylvania student newspaper, The Rambler. #RIPSamMoore #samanddave
