ABSOLUTELY!!!

@@richardstaccone1927 There is no doubt loved his playing...

RIP Tim Bogert

I do agree!

jack bruce paul mcartney james jamieson dave browne

Charlie Daniels? How does he fit into the equation?..I met him once backstage..and I was high as a kite on some hash a friend sent back from Amsterdam!..Wonder if he could smell it?

To my ears, Cactus were a little more like 'FREE' on steroids. McCarty's guitar playing especially... it was like beefed up Paul Kossoff.

I was born ‘74. I remember at a young age, being sent to bed on Friday nights early. The walls shaking with the thundering sounds of Cactus, Humble Pie, and others. And a (at the time) strange smell hung in the air. 😂 My parents, today, still hold this ritual every Friday night, just the two of them, unless my wife and I are there too. Good times always.

@@yellingelk sort of but Rusty's voice kinda like a Plant Over all Cactus blew them away !!Zeppelin was like Cactus Lite lol

For me growing up on Clapton Beck Page Hendrix We wondered where McCarthy came from. He was hot. Rusty Day and his son were killed in dope deal gone bad in Florida

@@holdersteven they even killed his Dog. 😒

Humble Pie, Cactus, Mountain...they all belong to my "less known" all time favourites...but those who know them, really appreciate them.

Absolutely.... 😊

great live. lps sucked. let's talk about ramatam and april lawton. what a woman! what a guitarist!

THE ORIGINALS, I CAN'T FIND EITHER.

I think Mountain was on that show that night. I was there!

​ @MechCav ANDY One is already very lucky to have been able to see one of them live. I wish I would have been there too.

@@mechcavandy986 Where in Memphis was this show?

Moutain/Cactus,the Rock Blues Brothers!

I was there too. They played a free one at someone s farm the next day. They did a song also "put the last clean shirt on my poor Brother Bill"

One of Elvis Presley’s first shows was at the Overton in 1955 or so-- Pre-RCA…

Yes the Band is very Talented? just after the woodstock Rock Festival

Better late than never! Enjoy!

Wait a minute, is that the drummer of Vanilla Fudge?

@@jackcrane7853 and the bassist! RIP Tim Bogert.

Rusty Day on the pipes, He was all in.

Chingonsisima banda incomprendida😢

In the student center ballroom on the second floor with folks sitting on the floor

And,again I miss those experiences. And all those fond great memories. A,LIFESTYLE of Rock!,with all consequences.that keeps one young.Karin!in love to all those memories.!

saw them at ritz theater staten island with the james gang tim bogert had to play bass for the james gang their bass player was out of it.

Always wished I was not "ten years after" but before instead. Missed all fun!

You lucky bastard!

Humble Pie, J Geils.....

Restrictions was good LP ...they were s kick ass band...I listen to them in was early Seventies ...there was.another super group Beck Bogart and Appice....they weren't together long ......but they kick butt.

Yep. I remember that....

Yes. I was there at that outdoor concert too. They were fantastic!

GREAT. Would have liked to be there.love Karin

Better late than never 😉

ha, I remember Tied at from my youth club days. Don't think they make 🎸 based bands these days. 😢

I was there as well. Didn't Ten Years After close the show? I thought I'd pass out!

Yes Keith Coleman !Ten years after" was the top billed band. Thats who I was there to see, I'd heard of Toe -fat but not Cactus. What an unexpected ass kicking I they were! Cactus was a favorite of mine from then on! I was 14 years old and getting experienced for the first time on an Owsley product!

Owsley? You must also be a Blue Cheer fan!

where the hell did ToeFat go, anyways?

I do 👍😻 but then Im as old as dirt.....

That's the same thing I've always said.

How was rusty back then? Did he still have his big beard and did he seem to be in good shape? And more importantly, was he still making music or performing live or anything?

@@MetamorphosisYa Rusty got into coke

@@taimeuppe6174 safe to assume that since that is how he died in a way, but not entirely answering my question.

@@MetamorphosisYa Very sad Rusty passed the way he did, loved his style and attitude

@@taimeuppe6174 yeah agreed he was a top notch front man

***** Fucking eh right! Sick just sick!

Octave fuzz and some volume induced feedback. Works every time.

Best of right on one of my favorites. Better than at if recognised more as with so many then.Ace love Karin

Such times are where part of my life as their music just great ❤Karin

Bogart and Appice were original to Vanilla Fudge. They did a classic version of "You Keep Me hanging ON." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJlzm7egrtywgoE.htmlsi=9hZWsR8KAWahnXFm

Don't forget Bogart & Appice came from Vanilla Fudge!

Listening to em now in Melbourne .. 🔊🎧🔊 🎸🎸 💃💃 🙏

Fuckin' A! TRIO is where it's At IF those 3 on each instrument, knows 'em like a body part!! E'erbody Can Stretch Wings & FLY!!!!... without anybody too close ta interrupt "Wingspans"... 👊🏻 🤷🏻‍♂️...Two guitars are cool for some shit, occasionally necessary, But, if ya wanna "Stomp!!" and miss toes, TRIO!!! 😎🤘🏻

Was Mountain also there? Saw Cactus and Mountain in Cleveland, but thought it was early 70s. And Little Richard showed up and jammed with them. Incredible!

eeni doubt if rusty day still plays there...hes been dead for years !!

i bet rusty day doesnt..

he was killed in drug deal gone wrong supposedly by a machine gun...

@@bluesdoggmusicrediker4614 Machine guns don't kill people. Oh, wait, maybe they do.

rip Tim

It might have been the same tour. I saw them at Madison Square Garden, where they opened for Faces. I agree with your assessment

So often the case with second billers. Saw Santana, James Gang and Catfish fall of 69 at the Fillmore East and James Gang stole the show, hands down. Also at the Fillmore East 1970 was Humble Pie with a young Peter Frampton, as second bill for ?Delaney and Bonnie with Eric Clapton ??? And Humble Pie was sadly way way better than the boring revival type of Delaney & Bonnie w/ Clapton. And there were many other better 2nd bills, MC5, Mike Bloomfield, Savoy Brown, Albert King, Ten Years After, Brothers Johnson, J Giles Band, Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac, Hot Tuna, Johnny Winter, Outlaws and more than I can remember from the late 60's to late 1970's. And then it all turned to shit with rap and Disco being the big new driving influence. But to those who weren't there, there was NOTHING like a live original Allman Brothers Band, Jeff Beck, Led Zeppilin, Dave Mason, Linda Ronstadt, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Big Brother and the Holding Company w/ Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix New Years 69 - 70 Band of Gypsies, Grand Funk Railroad or my most memorable, the whole week Christmas to New Years 1971 Fillmore East shows of Mountain, went to every performance that week and had a totally freaking AWESOME time!!! A week to remember for sure!!! Ahhh, youth is wasted on the young. Want a do over.

I saw them at that show. Through a strange sequence of events, Me and a friend, drummer Bob Mellin (RIP), were roadies for Cactus at that show. I was sitting on stage behind a speaker column by Jim McCarty. One of my all-time favorite bands. Too bad what happened to Rusty

MY DREAM CONCERT BROTHER .. 🎸🎸🙏🙏🤘🤘💙

I was there. I thought I saw God during Cactus......

Maybe you did......

Cactus got very much fucked over by their manager, and the record company did not promote them nearly hard enough. Cactus was originally conceived by ex-Vanilla Fudge alumni Tim Bogert & Carmine Appice, and it was to include Jeff Beck & a TBA singer. Beck got in a car wreck, so they (Bogert & Appice) recruited Jim McCarty from Mitch Ryder and Rusty Day from the Amboy Dukes instead. As fate would have it, this "replacement" line up turned out to be blistering hot (as you can hear). However, the record company execs were sorely disappointed that Beck had to drop out, so in their infinite whiney ass non-wisdom, gave the new line up barely half-assed promotion spots. And their manager was no help at all as far as....well, managing their career. Long story short, they put out 3 superb records in 2 years, and because they were tired of busting their asses with no help from anyone, they disbanded. And you're right about McCarty - Most overlooked Best Fucking Guitar Slinger out there at the time, including fucking Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and the rest of them (except maybe Jeff Beck). They should have been promoted to the rafters as an American Super Group. Because they were fucking monsters!!

Jeff Taylor cactus was the US answer to led zeppelin. I saw them in 1970. fantastic band. I saw the again in 72. not original line up but still good. saw bad finger open up for them in 72

@@Bix12 You said this so right that a thumbs up wasn't good enough. The American Who they were. Still in my mind.

@@Bix12 I couldn't agree more,and Rusty Day was made for them.

My first thought was a Ring Modulator, my second thought was, wait what year is this? I don't think they called this effect a Ring Modulator back then, wonder what it is...luckily, I happen to scroll down through the comments and seen your comment.....an Ampeg Scrambler! Very cool, thanks for the comment and info!

+Mark Sebella yes that's also how I found out ....somebody posted it on another song. I got a 2005 (I believe) Re Issue Ampeg Scrambler they sound fantastic with an old tube amp. I use it with a Dunlap Uni-Vibe for some Hendrix stuff. I had the roger Mayer Octavia ...the Scrambler is way better
