Spirit, Randy California Spirits/Germany 1978

The release of the best professional shot of the legendary band has been decided. SPIRIT is a famous psychedelic rock band that built an era from the late 1960s to the 1970s. Leader Randy California is a guitarist who has many topics such as substituting for Ritchie Blackmore in 1972 and being talked about in the plagiarism lawsuit of “Stairway to Heaven” after his death, but SPIRIT is his main path. It is a piece that you can enjoy the true value of the best professional shot without leaving anything. This work contains “Essen performance on April 5, 1978”. It is a professional shot broadcast on the famous West German program “ROCKPALAST”. The quality is perfect. It is a program that has left many artists’ famous images, but the quality of this work is the best of the ROCKPALAST collection. It is super clear even in the modern eyes of digital heyday, and the sound and mix are perfect. It is a perfect official grade gem. The live performance of the legendary band, depicted with that quality, is the very essence of rock. SPIRIT has taken on various forms since their debut, but at this time they formed a trio led by Randy, Larry Knight, and Ed Cassidy. While adopting a hard rock style, they embodied American rock in the late 60s and were an explosive follower of Jimi Hendrix. The rock that emanates from this work is the ideal form. In addition to the original songs from the early days, the set list also includes Jimi’s repertoire, and equipment such as stacks and vintage Ludwig, which were combined with Ampeg and Marshall, is also used. Even the fashion of the members is 60s style. At that time, the 80s were just around the corner, but it didn’t matter to Randy, who lived through “that era”. His particularity is radiated from both the sound and the image. And the biggest highlight of this work is the last song, “If I Miss This Train”. Dickey Betts of THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND jumps in with his gold top and jams for 18 minutes. Randy California was a rare guitarist. This is a record full of his psychedelic rock, which led the dazzling 60s and survived the 70s. This is a superb multi-camera pro shot that allows you to experience the essence of rock for 110 minutes. Please take this opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest.
