New Cactus Band ~ Son Of CactusThe New Cactus Band, led by Duane Hitchings, released one album (Son Of Cactus) and featured none of the original Cactus members. Mike Pinera, formerly of Blues Image and Iron Butterfly, came in on guitar, along with Roland Robinson on bass and Jerry Norris on drums. The band then toured live in the Midwest and on the East Coast in mid 1973 with Captain Beyond drummer Bobby Caldwell and former Gregg Allman bass player Charlie Souza.

P-MAN...dont have that one but have a couple with Jim McCarty on lead...Hot an Sweaty is a fav. Saw Beyond when they opened for Alice Cooper in Nashville at the speedway in 72. Nobody ever heard of them but by the time they were halfway through Dancing Madly Backwards..they were pinning the audience to the seats....by the time they finished,nobody wanted to hear Cooper..who was no slouch group in those days....I'll never forget the crowd response to that show...went from indifference to total awe! That was one kick **** opener!

Pumpinman, you're blowing me away with some of your picks. I saw the original Cactus live one time in their heyday, and they were awesome. Most kids now never heard of them. Msabot1, was always looking for a chance to see C. Beyond in the early 70's but, alas, never materialized.

Lots of movie soundtracks as of late, with a heavy dose of Clint Mansell (Abandon, Stoker, and my personal favorite, The Fountain.)

Dro...never expected to see em either...went to see Cooper...they were the Surprise Opening Act....I perked up from the first couple of riffs...took me a second or two to recognize Evans,Doorman,and Rino..their set was the entire first album with some jammin thrown in certain..kept saying to myself who are these guys? One hell of a dynamite show!
-
Msabot1: It's great when that happens. I still remember when a classmate of mine played that first C.B. album, I also thought pretty dynamite sound. I'll have to look around, might still have the original album with the cool cover.... I saw Talking Heads in Davis, California before they were big, in a bar, and they were so good people were calling their friends and saying you gotta get down here and see this band. The place went from sparse to absolutely crowded by the end of the show.

Thanks Guys,
I have a lot cool stuff in the in the man cave. I've been collecting vinyl since 1968 and at this point I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 6,000 plus LP's and + or - 2000 CD's. I'm sure I could make you do more than one goggle search with the vinyl I have. My listening habits haven't changed a whole lot since I was a kid. I keep telling that old guy in the mirror every morning to get the hell outta the way.
Then I realize "Damn it's me" I'm still just a kid in so many ways.

Bow Street Runners (1970)Sounding like a blend of Jefferson Airplane and the Doors, Bow Street Runners was a Fayetteville, North Carolina-based psychedelic band who released one eponymous album in limited quantities on B.T. Puppy Records in 1970. While the group was ignored at the time, Bow Street Runners became a collectible item among psychedelic aficionados during the 80s and 90s.

That was my smiley at your tele. Vintage Fender can't beat it fo sho! What year is your tele? My strat is a '76 hardtail with 2 dimarzio fat strats and an sds-1. It still screams after all these years and has sustain like no other. Clean or cranked it is one bad as strat.Awesome!! I miss the emoticons and I'd love to give you one or two for that photo, and hope they return soon (along with the widescreen formatting)...My New Year's resolution is 3840 × 2160
