It sure the hell is. He's a guitar god for sure. That said I preferred his old soloing with that Ampeg Scrambler pedal. At least at the 2:31 mark he got some of the old dissonance down. Still gobs of tone and killer chops.
Hard-hitting early 70s US rockers Cactus brazenly dug into Zeppelin’s blues-rock graveyard, unearthing a sound that’s as raw as it is raucous. This early '70s relic showcases the influence Zeppelin had on their contemporaries, a gritty, no-holds-barred romp in the muddy waters of hard rock and blues. The guitar riffs snarl and bite with a ferocity that might have inspired Page to nod in grudging respect, while the vocals, steeped in bluesy abandon, are a howl to the moon in Zeppelin’s dark forest.
@@starkjanne do you know how he gets those first notes of the solo so bassy and compressed and maybe the settings that you could use on the scrambler to get it?
I don't think it's a Scrambler though. Just his playing dissonant notes? If you are correct I find it strange he would only use it in that one part. Maybe it's just too loud to use incessantly but I don't see an increase in volume. I almost bought one when they were reissued around the start of these reunions. Coincidence? Hmmm..

Jim McCarty is still playing around in the bars in the Detroit area - seek him out, what you see here is still going strong - he is one of Detroits best Natural Resource.
Cactus Rocks 🎸 BB Kings(NYC) is gone.Going to miss that joint.I saw Cactus there,as well as many others(Mountain,Frank Marino,Robin Trower etc....)Another great venue gone.....
This vocalist is no Rusty Day or Paul Rogers (too bad he was not available for at least one Cactus tour) but still pretty killer. NOT an easy job. Jimmy Kunes or Peter French? It matters little because these guys got to sing CACTUS. Not me or any of you.
Jim McCarty not even mentioned on the top 100 guitar players, now that is a crime against humanity.
It sure the hell is. He's a guitar god for sure. That said I preferred his old soloing with that Ampeg Scrambler pedal. At least at the 2:31 mark he got some of the old dissonance down. Still gobs of tone and killer chops.
Man!!! RIP Tim Bogert, monster bassist, one of my heros.

1967-1980, the best music ever made. Especially rock.
Is that Jim McCarty playing lead? He's got that Les Paul singing! What an all time great guitarist!
Always so damned underrated
It's Jim and he's using his Scrambler pedal (kinda similar to a Octavia) which really makes the sweet notes pop out!

World mised one of the greatest bass players R.I.P. Tim !
Damn he was one of the best bassist I loved listening them in the 90's I was not old enough in the 70's
My Cactus fanship started in 1999 when I played with a killer boomer guitarist who made me twice the Gen X bassist.
I seen Mc Carty at action house 40 years ago he's still the Best
Saw them several times back in the day. Awesome Band
If you saw Cactus back in the day YOU should write a story about it. And if you have provide a link. There's not that many of you.
1:14 Ampeg Scrambler. Great fuzz box.
Agreed, that’s why I got one from a boutique builder in an original ampeg enclosure!

Saw them in concert in the early 70s at the Hollywood Sportatoriam.
FANTASTIC!
I missed them back in the early 70's. One of my biggest regrets!!!
Psychedllic rock juice I listen to this masterpiece after 50 years befor I born 40 years ago long live rock n roll 60s is awsom
Jim McCarty Really Brings It BIG TIME. Great Video....‼️
I was at this concert...Held at the now shuttered BB Kings here in Times Square, New York City
Spectacular!
Tim was on a whole other level.
…the bass during the second half of Jim’s solo….ORCHESTRAL FUNK 💫
Rock On Tim!!!
Fantastic Cactus can still throw down!
Tim got that tone from hell. I can just imagine the volume on that stage! 🤘
😂😂😂 yes he sure did
That's some serious rock'n.

Jimmy McCarty Is a Detroit Treasure!

Damn right
That particular recording was us at the old Comic Book Club in Jacksonville, Fla. I believe.
They're lucky to have ran across Jimmy Kunes! He kicks ass and takes names! 👆
Cactus Rocks 🎸 BB Kings(NYC) is gone.Going to miss that joint.I saw Cactus there,as well as many others(Mountain,Frank Marino,Robin Trower etc....)Another great venue gone.....
I saw them there in 2009. Great show!
bad ass....evil....well done ... who in the hell disliked this/???
Carmine is the REAL Italian Stallion
you can see where Alex Van Halen got his chops from, from the Carmine and Ginga Baker
Exactly.
Awesome!
Thanks for posting this.
great, thanks
love you Timbo RIP bro
I'm lucky to see him here in detroit whenever I want at a local bar
Awesome!
Carmine beats that kit almost as hard as brother Vinny. Love watching him play !
So many artist , rigjt
Personally I think the best rock drummer ever
These guys felt things that we need to implement for real today, or else we die
and Rusty Day was no Slouch !!
sick
All my youth..
Bass player looks like a retired math teacher... and I LIKE it
From Beck Bogart and Appice
He was the Boss period.
I was there
Rocking
Puta banda!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Reach in for the gut
Mccarty is a samurai
ca,s cest bon en criss !!
long way from home
Jim kicks it to hell
мощная вещь
is there anything better than this on YT?
Great Voice
crazy's...only the best
Fucking WOWOW
Drum solos , by law, should be limited to 1:38 seconds. You know, like this one was.
Fuck with Detroit I dare you.
damn is that that Rusty Day on vocals?
Conrad Lin no jimmy kunes
Rusty sadly died in 1978
They don't do drum solos like that anymore.
Carmine's rhythms are great. his solos are boring. Stick to playing rhythm.
bach is probably boring to a cow. what's your point? stick to playing with yourself.
I thought he did really well considering he is a fat old man now, quit your hating.
Go eat your spinach Popeye!
