Worth Stock 2010 P2

Worth Stock, Event

What a day for a free rock fest? Hot sunny day with no rain, heading up north I-29 from Kansas City,

Bill Scantlin called his brother to get the inside on the traffic report. Bill was advised to take Tiffany

Springs exit and circle underneath then head back south on the outer road toward Worth Harley

Davidson due to the traffic jam as if the football game just let out on Tiffany Springs. We watching

the huge crowd grow in numbers for the City’s biggest grand opening of the year. We were thanking

our lucky stars we drove the 4 wheel drive jeep so we could park off the road in an open field next to

the dealership. Worth Harley Davidson held up its name as being the third largest Harley Davidson

dealership with their massive showroom floor. We were met by our host Jason Williamson who was

bubbling over with enthusiasm and hospitality. Jason led Pat and Bill Scantlin, along with Christina

Cook through the Service Department where a VIP hospitality section was set up serving cold

beverages. For those of you that have never been VIP at a concert, just imagine media, security and

your favorite musician being upfront, close and personal making the musician personality their fame.

There was AJ, Johnny Dare, Bob and Moose with

98.9 The Rock providing the musicians a warm

welcome to Kansas City. 98.9 The Rock was a great

choice in hosting the show.

On the other side of wall, was the stage were the

performance of each entertainer brought a crowd

creating a rock fest at Worth Harley Davidson. Saturday attendance generated approximately 20,000

fans were as Friday night attendance as at 7,000. Being this was first year for Worth Stock, the

security was outstanding, not only were they pleasantly friendly when checking wrist bands but there

was a true sense of uniformity.

In meeting Mark Valentine the promoter, we had the opportunity in getting his interview. Mark

Valentine offered some of the best advise to promoters and musicians regarding creating a successful

show; “It’s all about how to getting butts in seats”. We also had the opportunity in meeting the owner

of Worth Harley Davidson Rick Worth, although he was one guy against a nest egg of fires; you

would have never known it. Rick Worth did a fabulous job in making Worth Stock what it was a Fan

Favorite Free Concert.

The special spice added in the show was the Flaunt Girls, although we did not get the opportunity to

interview them; it was fun to watch them perform on stage. The Flaunt Girls turned up the heat

with a sexy flirtatious dance that had guys whistling

and wives hitting. One of the Flaunt Girls was an ex

arena cheerleader that brought crowd pleasing show.

We hope that the flaunt girls will allow us to interview

them at the next show for an inside scoop.

When Jackyl took the stage the crowd went wild as

always. The outstanding performance will not be

forgotten by the fans. Jesse Dupree vocals bring

Southern Rock to its knees with a unique sound that is

inspirational to young artist.

Leaving the event was a challenge for a few, as one truck was stuck in the field and had to be towed.

Driving in a maze full of cars and fans added more flavor to the event leaving a deep satisfaction of

attending a Rock Concert.

Thank you Worth Harley Davidson, we look forward to future Worth Stock Concerts.
