Captain Beyond

Captain Beyond was a US rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1972. Its members were singer Rod Evans (from England), guitarist Larry Rheinhardt ("Rhino" ), bassist Lee Dorman, and drummer Bobby Caldwell. Evans was a former singer in Deep Purple, and Rheinhardt and Dorman had their past in Iron Butterfly. Caldwell had come to prominence playing with Johnny Winter. He was replaced by drummer Martin Rodriguez on the group's second album. After that album Evans decided to leave the band. Captain Beyond re-formed again in 1976, with singer Willy Daffern, and Caldwell back on the drums.





Such an underdated and overlooked band. Self titled, dawn explosion and sufficiently breathless are all timeless masterpeices. Some of the best stuff in this category.

I've only heard self-titled but it's really enjoyable.

Cool, you should check out more of their stuff, they are just as good.

Got the 1st 2, both excellent, but I heard Dawn Explosion wasn't very good. I'll check it out anyway.

Hm really...i think it is great.
