One of the greatest albums of all time.
This album is a must have classic.
When you get the guitar player and the bass player of Iron Butterfly, the first singer of Deep Purple and the drummer of Johnny Winter you have a supergroup. Unfortunately the record company did not promote the album, so it kind of went into oblivion, which is completely undeserved; it should have gotten wide recognition back then. I (Friederike) heard it on some radio show in the 80s or 90s that specialized in broadcasting forgotten gems. They played the whole album, and I just loved it.
I grew up pretty close to Birmingham, Al back in the 70s, we had a d.j. when F. M. first got going strong and that guy, really there were a few d.j.s we had but my favorite was the one who called him self Father Tree, when I first found FM music I remember that this was one of the first bands I ever heard and am pop radio was in my rear view mirror. Father tree played anything from Arlo Guthrie to Nazareth . You're right, never could figure out how this band wasn't up there with Deep Purple and Zepplin.
Has to be one of the GREATEST rock albums that nobody Knows. Why is that? It's a crime.
BIRTH OF METAL!!!! Some say the NYC band Sir Lord Baltimore (who's debut was about the same time as CB) were the fathers of Space Metal. But I think CB's sound is cleaner & songs more creative. However the Baltimore albums are quality stuff -- it's just that CB is so monstrously good to me there's really no comparison.
Ned from Spain here to say thank you thank you again and again. Captain Beyond were sort of under the radar even back in the day and forgotten for a long time. When the 70's music revival was happening in the late 80's early 90's they were given a new lease on life. Monster Magnet used the riff of Mesmerization Eclipse for their song Twin Earth and openly admitted it. CB were a supergroup made up of master drummer Bobby Caldwell who wrote the music with Rod Evans who was Deep Purples 1st vocalist. Truly an essential underground album and a touchstone for the Stoner bands in the 1990s and now.
Ahh, I love Monster Magnet. \m/
Appreciate it Ned!
@@pentagrammaton6793 They're on tour again and I hear that they're amazing. We saw them do Powertrip in Madrid just before the covid lockdown and they blew us away.Our old friend Alec Morton is slingin bass with them too so we gotta catch them again if possible.
Well said. One of my absolute favourite albums of the 70s (and all time for that matter)! Early Prog-Metal at its best
Now your talking my language JP. I grew up in the 70's and Captain Beyond is one of the greatest bands ever! This album is a masterpiece and one of my personal favorites. Thanks and enjoy it!
It’s a timeless classic! I grew up in the 2000s and I agree with you 100%
@erikberg5363 😊 truly one of the great albums of any era!
I have the original album with the hologram/3D on the cover and in immaculate condition. I consider this as in the top 3 albums of all time in my collection of multiple genre music!
I got interested in this group because of Rod Evans. Deep Purple's first 3 albums which he sang on are my favorite period of that band, psychedelic folk-rock, before they moved into more hard rock. They did a couple of Beatles covers and Neil Diamond's 'Kentucky Woman' and also 'Hey Joe'.
Drummer Bobby Caldwell is a genius. Singer Rod Evans do some percussion work on the album too. I'm so glad you took the advice and did the whole album in it's entirety and in proper order. Because it's a journey. This album is in my top ten off all time. Alongside albums like "Master of Reality" and "Electric Ladyland".
This was an inspired choice to react to. Thank you for your attention to details on this amazing album. If you see my comment. I am going to suggest another proto metal album from 1972 by a band called Ursa Major which included the amazing talents of rock studio guitarist Dick Wagoner who played some of the the most amazing and memorable leads and licks from the 70s. He is all over Aerosmith " Get Your Wings" album and also part of Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal Band as well as Alice Cooper's go to guitarist from 1974 to 1979. Until I heard Ursa Major album I was not even aware that this guy also had a fantastic singing voice.
Ursa Major is great! So many forgotten gems within 70s rock…
I saw Ursa Major open for Alice Cooper in 1972 I believe. Killer Show!!!
This whole album is a total psych/prog rock trip. First heard it in the car with my dad when I was 10 and it still makes my head spin. Sufficiently Breathless, the follow up record, also has great songs
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Deep Purple MK I is my favorite incarnation of the band because of Rod Evans. I just love this entire album so much. Great way to wake up on a Saturday.
I'm still holding onto the hope that you'll someday give Bobby Caldwell's later band, Armageddon, a listen. Another great supergroup which also included former Yardbirds and Renaissance vocalist Keith Relf. Very heavy. Fun!
I have thought of suggesting Armegeddon to JP. He'll like the first track Buzzard for sure. I either didn't realize or forgot that Caldwell was a member of both Armageddon and Captain Beyond!
@@dannylgriffin I've mentioned Armageddon at least three or four times on this channel, and this might be the very first time anyone has reacted to it in any way. Thanks.
"Buzzard" is definitely the centerpiece. "Silver Tightrope" is an amazing follow up to it. Slow and majestic, taking its time to unfold.
Captain Beyond couldn't be labeled since the band constantly went from hard rock to space rock then launched without warning into progressive rock or jazz rock or even into Latin rock if the urge arose, that's probably the reason why the band didn't break into the narrow world of the music business and that's a real shame because all of its members were all very talented.
Their second album Sufficiently Breathless (from 1973) awaits you with open arms!😉 (although the musical orientation is much softer than before but still remains of quality).
About Rod Evans, know that he was fired from Deep Purple mid 1969 mainly by Ritchie Blackmore who wanted to make Purple a hard rock band and felt that Evans was too soft for his taste !!!!🙄 ...same excuse with their former bassist Nick Simper, who founded the band Warhorse just after his ousting and whose debut album (released in 1970) hit almost as hard as In Rock!!! (if one day you want to listen to it....😉).
The sequel is even better.
Captain Beyond and Crack The Sky could go toe-to-toe with the best prog-rock of the era.
I love them both but I & most would not technically put them in ProgRock even though progressive Hard Rock might be suitable. Bluesy leaning bands don't really fit the mold. But this 1972 debut CB album kicked butt sending our 16 year old butts climbing the walls. So did Crack in the Sky's debut which I played endlessly which did remind me of the sophistication, trippy & funkiness of Captain Beyond!
I would have loved to have seen both of them live. I know they both still play small clubs with limited east coast touring...especially Crack The Sky. I am just thankful that the Captain Beyond 1971 Montreux concert was recorded and survived. The newer video is really good also and Bobby Caldwell still has his drumming chops.
The drummer Bobby Caldwell was only 21 years old when this record came out! He had gotten the drum gig in Johnny Winter And as a 19 year old! He was 19 and 20 on the Johnny Winter And LIVE Album. Caldwell went on to do one album with a band called ARMAGEDDON! Bobby actually got the gig Through the great drummer Aynsley Dunbar! Armageddon was looking for a drummer, and 24 year old Bobby came along. Bobby's last recording was in 1977 Captain Beyond's "Dawn Explosion" And remember These are the days of NO CLICK TRACK..Even live Bobby's time was impecable
Duane Allman is the one that told Capricorn Records to record these guys. Allman loved Bobby Caldwell's drumming. Johnny Winter And was opening up shows for the Allman Brothers, and it was where Duane would watch Bobby from back stage curtain. Then he'd tell Butch how great the drummer was!! I believe if Duane would have not died, he would have done a project which included Bobby Caldwell on drums. On Bobby's time off, he'd always catch a flight to where the Allman Brothers were playing and play percussion.
Well, I know I wrote a frickin' book in response to your "Sufficiently Breathless" album, so I will spare you that this time. Just gotta tell ya I really dug hearing this again with you! And, yes, I most def CAN imagine seeing them live! One of the most intense, hypnotic and, yes, beautiful concerts ever! (Ju;y 14, 1972, Jo Jo Gunne, Captain Beyond and Alice Cooper!) It was hard to decide who had the better costumes, CB or AC! With those three bands, it was an absolute face-melting sensory overload for nearly 3 hours, leaving the audience slack-jawed and spent!
I'm gonna go out on a limb, and make a suggestion, based on the fact that you took the risk on this album! I want to recommend you do a reaction to the band Trapeze, the album "Medusa" from 1970. Even though they were a couple of years apart, I also saw Trapeze TWICE during that same 3 or 4 year period. Frankly, I think it's a better album than this one! Every single song is fire, not a speck of cereal! Trapeze also has a cool history I think you will find interesting! Hope I'm not the only one left here who is as old as I am, who might have dug Trapeze, as well!
Thanks so much for the fun, JP! You are killing it, as usual!
I am so glad you are finally listening to this. I am one of the persistent requestors who kept badgering you to give it a shot. It is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. I burned through 2 LP's (including the original with the 3-D prism image), then 2 more copies on CD before I finally ripped it to MP3. I play it at least once a month. As other have mentioned here, they were truly a super group for all time!
I found this record around 1975, I guess, and it's been one of my favorites since. I don't drive anymore, but when I do travel, I put on my headphones and listen to this. Great group and album.
Amazing album. Very underrated.
This album was made for a long journey into the mind on a sweet bike. It was recorded to listen to the whole event at once. This is what other pros listened to for enjoyment. These guys invented what you hear today my friend. Ahhh, back in the day when people were praised for being different. UNLIKE TODAY!
Thanks for checking out this awesome band!! If you get an opportunity treat yourself with this version of, I Can't Feel Nothing. I think you will love it!!
Great Album and even better in Concert! They were so tight live that I couldn't tell the difference between studio version or on stage. Truly an awesome short lived Band. Early Progressive Rock indeed.Thank you for sharing.
wow.....Captain Beyond. anyone who wrote a song called 'dancing madly backwards' got my attention back in the day, but to have them remembered by more than just me it kind of an awesome shock! thank you so much.....
Ty for watching Julie! Glad you enjoyed!
This is a blast from the murky depths of my recollection Hassles with their former bands, doomed these guys.Their different origins made this a real hidden gem, a Deep,Winter, Butterfly that had it's wings clipped. Great start to sunny Saturday! Peace,and Love. and thanks for reigniting my phobophobia!!!🤔✌
That's my name, Captain Beyond. A nick name some folks gave me in College back in 1974. Lol
What a great album to react to, just epic from start to finish…real cult favorite, pleasantly surprised to see this! 😎
Singular album. I used to have the record with the 3-D cover! If you haven't listened to MOBY GRAPE (first album) and IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY (first album), those are must-listens. Great 1960s San Francisco psychedelic, better than so much of the more "acclaimed" albums of that genre.That guitar riff in "A Thousand Days..." is one of the all-time greats.
One of the first Classic Rock "Super Groups" members from Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly, Johnny Winter which you know by now. Interesting band and album with a Heavy Bluesy Southern Rock feel, my older Brother played this "a lot" when it came out !! 🎸🎤🎶
Great songs, great musicians, great tones and a great mix! Cheers 🍻
One of my top 10 albums, The Drummer wrote the music, combination of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly members
Actually, the album listed the drummer as the writer because the guitarist and bassist were still under contract with Iron Butterflies record company. Thats what Lee Dorman told me.
My favorite band since I discovered them in 77' I did a brief art job for DC Superman comics doing just the backgrounds & listened to all 3 albums each time I drove to the main artist's house. Every part has meaning to me like Pink Floyd.
When this came out, I was already in awe of Bobby Caldwell as a drummer because of how hot his playing was on Johnny Winter And Live. And then this? A great lesser-heralded drum monster. (Even if your streaming service did hiccup over the first note in that opening drumbeat - sacrilege! :( )
The Original Album Artwork
Was “Lenticular”, or 3D,
If you will. If you ever see a
Clean Copy on Vinyl…
Buy It!! Although it could be a
Little Spendy, seeing how the
Vinyl market is on FIRE right
Now.🥵
I have that original album. I wore the grooves out but the cover is still in great condition in a protective clear plastic sleeve.
An amazing and largely forgotten gem. Even back in the day it was an album that was seldom discussed. The band never seemed to get any mention.
There is a song on the second side (I don't know the name) that has an intro that reminds me of the entry to "Raviole" by Audience (which I am assuming is a cover of a classical piece).
Captain Beyond first album was dedicated to Duane Allmans memory and their second album was dedicated to Barry Oakley jr. the bass player for the Allman brothers. This my favorite album of all time.
Allman Brothers meets Gentle Giant
@@CAdams6398 Haha! So true.
My older brother had this back in the day, with the hologram cover. I grew up on this...awesome stuff!!!
I really enjoyed the album review. Maybe it was because I was hearing it in a different format - through good PC speakers - and I'm sure it's been re-mastered - but I still heard new layers. You mentioned Hawkwind, so I'm guessing you like the space rock sub-genre. If you have never heard Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come "Journey" I would recommend you review it. Another space rock album, that in my opinion stands entirely on it's own. Not sure how to categorize it, but definitely exceptional. BTW, Captain Beyond tried a reformation in the late 90s and I caught one of their Florida shows in a small venue w Reino, Caldwell, and Artabasy.
By the way there are color video clips of them in Montreaux 1972 doing a large portion of this album and they are on fire. Decent sound too.
I confirm: 20 minutes of ecstasy !!!😉
Self taught drummer here! Bought this album in 72, and tried to figure out what Caldwell was doing!🤪 Wasn’t even close, but still fun! Thought I would search for CB reaction, I was shocked to find one! Thanks
Hey there Chi! Haha, I understand what you mean; he's great! Ty for watching
I listened to Captain Beyond,😄 I listened to this album, 😄 it's been on the playlist for a long time 😀 👍👍👍
Sufficiently breathless waiting for someone to cover Mr. Captain Beyond. Thank you!!
This band's first two albums have always been in my top ten albums of all time, I really like the third album also but it can't compare to the first two, I really like the way your video is compared to some other's that review albums and songs, they stop the song and start talking, I also like to hear your comments while the music keeps playing. Please review some of the obscure Nazareth albums that no body ever heard of , I'm joining your page if I can find out how. thanks a lot......(ok, I just subscribed ) also there is a slight version of Captain Beyond that I'm pretty sure still play live at times, one of them sent a Captain Beyond guitar pick to me a couple of months ago, I can see your comparison to Yes , I kinda get a Frank Marino maybe Santana sound also especially on the Sufficiently Breathless album, I haven't listened to this in a little while, really enjoyed your video.
Most definitely one of my fave albums of all time. And don't believe I'll ever tire of it. Absolutely beautiful tunes throughout. Thanks for the insightful reaction. Well done my friend
All time favorite, mind blowing stuff!
I can't believe somebody else knows this!!
I randomly found it one night a couple years ago and I was telling my dad about it who was born in the 50s and he said his entire life he's been trying to get people to listen to this since young with vinyl, qnd how nobody's ever heard of it he said.. and Then of all people his Daughter brings it up what a funny world anyway I Love the Raging River of
fear !!
and he still has all the Original vinyl showed me albums are Beautiful, luv this one sparkly art.😢
I bought this cd on a whim about 15 years ago and was really surprised. Good stuff. Didn’t know anything about who was in the band even
Saw these guys in 72. It was Captain Beyond, Jo Jo Gunne and Alice Cooper. They sounded exactly like their album.
A guy told me he saw them live in Abilene or somewhere out in west TX on the same bill with Blues Image (Ride Captain Ride). He said Rod Evans came out dressed just like the picture on the album cover & even had the ball in his hand. Rhino had a 1 foot tall red afro & Dorman was signaling the light show operators on where to direct the lasers. Bobby Caldwell had a humongous mother -of-pearl/Ivory drum set that had tomtoms with giant round bottoms that were connected with large tubes similar to Alex Van Halen's. He said he's never seen another one like it since. He said he refrained from getting high because he wanted to experience the show without dulled senses. After the show, he said he felt like he was tripping on acid & could barely walk out lol.
Sounds like a good concert!
Thanks for returning to Captain Beyond and doing the entire album!
I was a teen in the '70s and I had never heard of this group (supergroup) before today. Wow! I really enjoyed this album and will download. Thanks, JP. ❤✌
Get their first two albums
Deep Purple isn't just a band, It is a world full of bands of ex members and solo artists...so many wonderful and different albums to listen to...
Hey Justin, have you ever heard Scorpion's first album, Lonesome Crow? I think you'd like it! Anyway, Captain Beyond is a great album and thanks for the review. Indeed Proto metal!!
Your smiles and air drumming during this listen reminds me of myself 50 plus years ago. We wore this album out trying to figure out how to play these songs. So much so, that I ended up buying the album three times. Kind of neat having three copies of the album in my collection with the holographic cover. Great reaction to a great album!
Ty Bruce! Sometimes I cant resist the air drumming ;)
One of my favorite albums. Easily as good as Deep Purple, and... they're American! Back in my day, I always associated this masterpiece with the Vietnam war and how tragic it was for everybody.
Nice to see younger people enjoy it for the quality.
Sufficiently Breathless and Dawn Explosion are also really great albums by Captain Beyond! Check them out, thanks. I love to watch reactions to music that I love, it's really cool!
My favorite album of all time !!!!!
I remember seeing leftover promo posters for this album in the early '80s when I was 4 in downtown Macon Georgia.its a shame I didn't get into the album until I was 30🤦🏾♂️
Some good old southern prog
Bobby Caldwell is as good a drummer as ever picked up a pair of sticks. Seriously, check out the heavy blues rock classic "Johnny Winter And Live" and see how really capable he was playing something completely different. It's a 100% guitar-oriented album, but I used to put it on for people to have them hear this great drummer!
Somehow I missed this REACTION after surely adding my suggestion for it after your "Sufficiently Breathless" reaction. Again another Groundbreaking ALBUM from the epic year 1972. At 16 this had us High School pre-Metal lovers climbing the WALLS. It was so Hard but Slick, Sophisticated and FUNKY. There is also a lot of Latin Rhythmic moments which they used more on their next album "Sufficiently". This Debut is a RARE progressive HARD ROCK GEM. Fortunately at the time we had little to compare this too accept for maybe Sabbath, Led Zep, Uriah Heep & Deep Purple. BTW, Captain Beyond consisted of former Deep Purple singer Rod Evans, former Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell, former Iron Butterfly guitarist Larry Reinhardt and Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman. The band had an eclectic style bridging elements of hard rock, progressive rock and jazz fusion with space rock. ALSO, Reinhardt revealed that while Butterfly and Yes were on the bus touring: "After a real long night with a pipe, we all partook in some attitude adjustment for the long ride - I was coming out of the bus, and Chris Squire from Yes looked at my blood-red eyes and said: 'Goddamn, you look like Captain Beyond! '. (((LOL)))) The name stuck with me ever since". AND there is a RARE LIVE VIDEO on TH-cam!!!!! and the original Album Cover had a 3D IMAGE effect of the Captain figure for all us Trippers and Stoners. Afterwards, comparatively not many Hard Rock or what became Metal acts appealed to me. PURE PROG became my primary ROCK of choice so I was snobbish about all the weak commercial Copycats that came later although CRACK IN THE SKY were very close to having a similar sound, intensity, sophistication and clever dynamics years later. Check out their FULL DEBUT LP too!
This left me slack jawed in '72 after that 1st listen. And it still does.
Omg this is like one of the best albums ever, so excited to watch your reaction
...and you didn't disappoint. Damn I forgot how awesome was this album. Thank you for reminding me to blast my vinyl copy into the turntable
Thanks Niko! Really happy you enjoyed the reaction :)
Great album not forgotten
I saw them on Sweden Rock Festival in 1999, had never heard of them at the time but I was a fan after hearing them play.
Having only given passing attention to Captain Beyond before, I was surprised how much I enjoyed listening to this. Rod Evans is a more interesting singer here than he was with Deep Purple. I always though his writing for Deep Purple was pretty strong, and this confirms what he was capable of.
You were hearing Black Sabbath in parts of it, I was getting early Thin Lizzy. Good stuff.
More reactions to early Thin Lizzy would be very welcome.
SO GLAD you decided t listen to THIS one. It is a masterpiece. One of my top 5 of all progressive rock albums. Still way ahead of its time.
Glad you enjoyed it Thorkil! Ty ty
Non stop… Totally bitchin!!!
Thank you from beyond…
AHH HERE IT COMES !!!!
Hope you enjoyed listening to it with me Dave!
King gizzard owes their entire career to this single album.
That was unexpected (I didn’t know what to expect) and I liked it! Reminds me of my two brother-in-laws (RIP) and their garages where they worked on cars.
Glad you enjoyed it JB!
I saw them in San Diego in 1972 when they opened for Alice Cooper. They were so great live that I found the album disappointing when I bought it later. IMHO the album pales in comparison. Still, all in all, a good, solid band that I wish I had heard their album before seeing them live. Even so, I did think they outshined Alice Cooper.
Funny you mentioned Yes because they were opening for Iron Butterfly in 1971 while Reinhardt and Dorman were in Butterfly. Yes eventually bought Iron Butterfly's PA system.
One of the 20 best rock albums ever made! Start to finish. Non-stop...The vocalist is Rod Evans who was the singer on the first 3 Deep Purple albums. (MKI)
@@CAdams6398 hey, this is good fare. At least for me it is. 🙃
@@CAdams6398 At least one!
About time JP.... WooWho!!👊 - i have a treasured Captain Beyond t-shirt..... I've been asking you to do this forever anda day....(RIP Rhino & Lee Dorman) It's a shame Bobby Caldwell screwed Captain Beyond up the way he did.... he left on the second album which, whilst not as good as this is still excellent then, reappears on their last effort with a crappy new singer... another good album Caldwell appears on similar to Captain Beyond is the UK band Armageddon. They made one album and he is on it along with Keith Relf of the Yardbirds.... it's really good to. 👈JP
Justin already reacted to "12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" about a year ago.
@@BaldJean Thanks for letting me knowI'll go looking for it....
Hmmm. I was 16 in '73 and thought I knew every group of the period, but I have no memory of CB. The biggest connection I hear is the Jimi Hendrix Experience - both the overall sound, and the voice. Excellent.
This is the best CB album but the later ones aren't at all bad. You could do them too and probably enjoy it!
The members of Iron Butterfly were better here than they were as members of Iron Butterfly.
The singer was in Deep Purple previous to this.
For me Bobby Caldwell is star of the band, Side Two is one of the strongest half albums there is. It's too bad they couldn't recreate the magic of this first album. Another big influence I hear when I listen to Captain Beyond is Hawkwind one of the most influential and important Space Rock bands ever.
Great Album
Que pedazo de guitarrista era Larry "rhino" reindhardt 🎸🔈🔉🔊
Good album. Why wasn't it bigger? I think that it was maybe a year too late. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and others had all released some of their best albums before this (yes, I know that Evans was in Purple Mark 1) and another album in that same genre would have had to bring something new to the table to stand out amongst these better examples. Great name for a band though.
OMG!!!! I missed this one. THIS ALBUM is ICONIC and a Progressive HARDROCK enigma from the great & amazing year of 1972. We Rocked out to this. A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE in its time. Mesmerizing Rock. In my TOP ROCKERS OF ALL TIME. Luckily ZEP didnt release am album that year so CB RULED. Their next two were good but this one is their 1st and best. Did you the Latin vibes which are more obvious on next LPs..Also this original album cover had a 3D effect image of the Captain
Supergroup of a lesser god. Their previous work gives no indication they could make an album like this. They couldn't do it again either.
Great album and band. Too bad they didn’t make it big.
I know this is historically back to front, but they remind me a lot of Chicago band *Eye* , as far as the rhythmic pace/ energy goes, among other things. (If you liked this, you'll enjoy what you find if you search for something like "eye band" on TH-cam - as long as you don't mind that they have a shredding trans girl called Lisa Bella Donna on guitar - since some people prefer the trans girl in the band to do the miming).
There are influences from everywhere showing (or so I imagine, I suppose). Santana makes a subtler showing long before the Latin percussion kicks in. I even thought I heard a bit of reggae, but can't remember where. Definitely heard that Yes. But there's plenty of pure Captain Beyond, too.
I really enjoyed this one - especially the ridiculous New Age aspects. :D (I like having things to not take too seriously in an album, if possible.)
Here's *Searching* by *Eye* just to make that part easier.
(If you want to hear some interesting prog-rock synth music do a search on Lisa Bella Donna. You might not be disappointed. I'd say you _won't_ be disappointed, but suppose I should qualify that with, "unless you're easily disappointed" :D )
*The Mothership* (main selection criterion apart from liking it: it's just over 5 min long, not an entire concert). th-cam.com/video/nIRQbIckYPo/w-d-xo.html (You'll hear some Kraftwerk influences, I think.)
(Oh, it's by *Lisa Bella Donna* )
It's 7/4 btw, not 7/8. 😁
Pfft, YOU'RE a 7/8! (j/k you're a 10/10😊)
I heard this exact band live at Nashville Speedway 1972.
They were a live band they had so much talent .
This is what we called,Heavy Rock to distinguish from the norm.
Check out Bobby Caldwell with Johny And Live
Yes this was on fm radio with Ozzy, the Stones. Alice, Allman Brother. Deep Purple on and on.
They were up there with Purple, Zeppelin, Cactus.
Caldwell’s is arguable one of the best rock drummers of the early 70s..
Singer Rod Evans sang for Deep Purple (Hush). Let that sink in…lLead singer for Deep Purple
Bobby Caldwell played with Johnny Winter 14:43 arguably the best drummer in rock in the day.
Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt , guitar Iron Butterfly
Lee Dorman bass, Iron Butterfly
A true super band.
Here is a rare 20 + minute live concert of them playing songs off of this album.
