live at Gilligans, Buffalo, New York
This was the last performance from the original Cactus line up. A good number of music fans were introduced to the band through the 1972 sampler album 'The New Age Of Atlantic' which included the studio version of Long Tall Sally, which took the song from it's Rock'n'Roll roots to a much heavier rock anthem sound.
Line Up:
Tim Bogert - bass
Carmine Appice - drums
Jim McCarty - guitar
Rusty Day - vocals

When I was 15 in '72 I saw them in Oklahoma City with Trapeze and Captain Beyond all on the same bill. What a show

わたくしも同じ。1969〜72の彼らは、最も過小評価されている最高で最強のバンドです。わたくし、70sの産まれですが、2023の今現在も、彼らの楽曲は新しい！

I envy you lucky bastards who got to see them, I was born in '77 and was introduced to Cactus in my early 20's. These guys had amazing energy and should be remembered with the likes of Cream and such. If you ask anyone 30-40 years old here in the Midwest they've never heard of them. I love blowing their minds with songs like Parchman Farm and Bro. Bill.

I had just gotten out of the flipout tent when Jethro Tull went on! They started with 'To Cry You a Song' and it blew me away! I'd gotten the album in june and it was an eye opener to say the least. That was a wild festival; loved every minute of it. I'd hitchhiked from Cape Cod; devil may care about my job, and gotten there at 4 in the morning. Canadian bikers gave me a hit of acid for cigarettes...4 of them. It was a good deal! None of that anymore, though.

They played at least one more performance with the original lineup - they played at UMBC in Maryland Halloween night 1971. I still have the ticket stub. They arrived two hours late, but they arrived and it was one of the loudest concerts I ever saw. Opening act was a great local band called Black Manhattan and the second act was Alive & Kickin' which had changed its name to Bloody Mary just before the show. They were practically booed off the stage but they had to keep playing until Cactus showed up.

I first saw them at a festival called Strawberry Fields in Mosport park in Toronto in 1970. No one had ever heard of them. McCarty (remember him with Mitch Ryder?) came out first and did a 4 minute solo...knocked me right off my feet. He's a great guitarist. Too bad this recording doesn't do his tone justice.

Did you know the original Cactus was going to be Bogart, Appice, with Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck? Then Beck had the auto accident and Rod joined the Faces. Would have been an interesting band, but I'm glad it turned out the way it did.

@drummer17562 7 жыл бұрын

Probably better they didn't form at that time... yes, the original record sleeve notes inside BB&A tell the story you relate. Jeff just couldn't take being fronted by a bass player that is technically his equal and sang most of the lead vocals for the power trio. Michael, please check out Derringer, Bogert & Appice; a.k.a. Doin' Business As." (The only song I can remember Jeff singing was "Hi Ho Silver Lining" which is the adopted anthem for the some Premier League Soccer Team.)
