CAPTAIN BEYOND AT ACE'S LIVE MUSIC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- The music of CAPTAIN BEYOND is amazing, but reproducing it in a LIVE environment is not easy. The first album, in particular, is so layered that if you try to perform it with one or even two guitarists, the audience, the FANS will notice.
Bobby Caldwell, knows this....it is HIS music after all.
When deciding to "put the band together" that he would take out on the road, and perhaps into the studio, he wanted quality musicians, and three guitars.....
He knew a couple as they were part of an earlier incarnation of the band, but he wanted, and he found several more...
and so in June of 2017, Bobby Caldwell brought CAPTAIN BEYOND to the small stage of ACE'S LIVE MUSIC, in Bradenton, Florida as the first date in their 2017 Tour....
The venue was packed, the crowd alive with anticipation, I had asked for and was given permission to film the show. This was a dream project of mine and even though I was a little light on equipment I vowed to do the best capture I could.
I shot with five cameras, four were locked off shots with me the only hand held camera.
Audio could've become a problem as I couldn't get a 'board feed', but the audio guy was very helpful and he was up on the raised balcony at the back of the room and showed me a neat place to mount my digital recorder and the two condenser mics on the recorder got a good overall mix from the live room, and the drums were helped by mixing in some of the mics from the drum cam....yes...Bobby has a camera devoted to him and almost every drum fill is a cut to Bobby.
This was the first performance of this new group of musicians. The music is tough, the pressure was real.....I LOVED IT....it wasn't perfect....it was LIVE!
I was RIGHT IN FRONT......I had the BEST seat in the house.....I was almost on the stage....the venue ACE'S has since closed, this is a tough business....as time passes I ask myself will there be any more?
Nobody knows....but this......we'll ALWAYS have THIS!
Please enjoy CAPTAIN BEYOND at ACE'S LIVE Music
Armageddon with Bobby Caldwell on drums is one of my all time favorites since the release in 1975. Fantastic line up.
Yes! Bobby Caldwell is incredible! I once wrote him on his website…just to express my lifelong admiration for…and the dude WROTE me back! We went back and forth for a number of messages. Such an unexpected honor
Bobby Caldwell is amazing. Great musician all around. Song Writer supreme. And drummer Beast
I think he's AMAZING too! So amazing that here is his camera....ONLY!

Love this!! I don’t think there is a Captain Beyond song I don’t like😂😎 Cheers 🍻
I bought the first Captain Beyond when it first hit the streets...been my favorite album since. Man does it bring back a lot of great memories. I just found this today and since this was 2017 assume they never released any new stuff. Bless you guys...Love it!
The plan was to tour more but after a very abbreviated tour in 2018, they left the road, and didn't choose to tour again, then CoVid hit and that was that....
Captain Beyond!! One of my all time favorite Super Groups! I listen to the first and 2nd album at least a couple times a month since 1973; no freaking lie!
Armageddon is a similar sound from their only 1975 A & M release. It fits in good with the Captain Beyond family tree. I've had the vinyl of Armageddon since 1975. And my big wish was always Rod Evans would appear and do a tour with Captain Beyond.
That’s so cool, I heard there first two at my buddy’s house when we were teenagers 74 or 75 maybe but I have been a fan ever since too, just listened to the first one this summer while cooking out 😎
Let me also add that while we were listening to this I know a big joint was also involved 😊
@@ourlakehouse116 GOOD TIMES
How many of these guys are original members? Sounds like traveling back in time and not a modern recreation. That's what I like.
i still have my Captain Beyond Albums in my collection Great Band !!!!!! Thanks for this
I love how the singer has Rod Evans style and tone down. Thanks for keeping the flame burning!
Happy to find this !!! As a drummer born in 57’ to see Bobby Caldwell, an early influence of mine ,is just wonderful …long live Bobby Caldwell and Captain Beyond !!
It would have been complete and total joy to have seen this. Great job by all and especially Bobby.
Can't say enough about how pleased I was to be find this. Kudos and big love for Bobby, having brought CB back for us all who still love them . I saw them as s teenager and was stupified. A real. WTF
moment. Thanks again Bobby for making it happen. Now I can die.
stupified by the live
This is the best Band ever. Bobby Caldwell is a under rated Drummer. He has influenced my Drumming much. Keep up the Fantastic Music Captain Beyond!
Great drummer indeed....He wasn't an over rated singer though....yikes.
"This is the best Band ever."
Not even close.
Best band ever? What?
Yes he is😀
Under rated by WHO?
THANKYOU bobby,I ve been waitin for yrs to see an upgraded evolution of Captain Beyond,You are the glue that keeps it all together Man,God Bless zyou !!!
I sure miss this band.
And IDC what version they bring out.
They're still playing!!
As a videographer of 40 years... my admiration and thanks for a job 'super' well done. Final edit had to be a bear and you Nailed it!!! Again, 🙏. What can I say about Bobby and his phenomenonal fellow musicians except Fan-freakin-tastic!
Your comment was humbling as not many recognize the effort that I poured into this project. As a fan I was in heaven having such access to my favorite band on their new tour with mostly new personnel.
This entire project was a labor of love and done with a zero budget.
Now, nothing gets done for free, but the expenses for travel and time spent editing were given by me to assure that others got to see our favorite band and hopefully in a favorable light.
Thank you for the generous and insightful comment....
Unbelievable talent! Bobby's drumming ability is imo most fantastic of this genre and a few others. The Allman Bros. , Johnny Winters, Armageddon and Captain Beyond reaped the rewards of this mans talent and musical dedication. Appreciating his music and drumming skills for 50 years and just had to pay respect to the man on the drums. Thank You Bobby Caldwell!
Also with Rick Derringer on Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo.
@@andyray9 yes, the lineup of Winter, Caldwell, Derringer was tight, "All American Boy" is stupendous..."Saints and Sinners" is in my top 5 with Johnny...
@@richardmarstonealy4155
Johnny Winter And....Johnny Winter, Bobby Caldwell, Randy Jo Hobbs and Rick Derringer. Great group, incredible musical talents!
@@NH-ox1gr I saw Johnny about a month before he died he was still pickin!!!
To Phil Murray . . After Johnny w.& before Armageddon , Bobby Caldwell played with Rick Derringer's " All American Boy" album. Played on . He was great where ever he played . Also the New Capt.Beyond, 2017 version of early years music is Just Great !!! Frozen Over is . . .IT .
Wow can't believe I found this!! Frikin' Badass!! Sir Bobby Caldwell and Captain Beyond STILL KICKIN' MAJOR ASS!!! Thx BC and CB for keeping the flame lit!!!
I was so happy to see this that by the time it was over I was crying like a baby! This along with Cactus are two of my all time favorite rock bands ever! Thank you Bobby Caldwell!
What a band of great musicians! I am so glad that they are touring I hope I get a chance to be in the crowd! Thank you Bobby Caldwell for making this happen!! ❤🙏🏻
This was shot at the first show of the 2017 summer tour.
They played many dates in 2017, went back out in 2018 for a very abbreviated tour that Summer, and then.....nothing....
Then Covid and there are no plans as far as I know to tour again.....
Sorry....
This is a treasure! OMG!
Its hard to believe that its 48 years since this incredible very original music first came out. Those days were a bit before my time of listening to rock anyway but later listened to Deep Purple, early Rainbow, Rush and Cream etc.. Captain Beyond is really unique and good to see it back.
You Guys are doing an excellent thing, always love the rhythmic changes, breaks, tonal, the Sonic characteristics a musical revelation Thank you
The music took THREE guitarists to replicate the sound on the record. Bobby did a wonderful job finding three extremely excellent musicians to do that..... I am not a member of the band, I'm a fan like you, but also a friend of Bobby's and he was gracious enough to allow me to come and film the Band on their first live gig for this new group of players.
It was a LIVE performance their first since coming together. Was it perfect? It was LIVE and those are usually subject to many of the things that make a live concert unique, but the enthusiasm and dedication to this wonderful music is evident throughout. Look at their faces, these guys are having FUN.
I have been a fan of this band and this music since the 1970s and I was RIGHT THERE....up close and in front shooting this concert. I then took dozens of hours editing it.....totally immersed in this show....WOW!
I'm glad you enjoyed it..... this film, much like the performance is not as perfect as I would have liked, there was no budget, I was the ONLY person on my crew, but it's better than a phone video, and it may be the last time we see this Band in all their glory....thanks for watching....
They do the material a solid justice. It’s never gonna be the 70s CB but for this being 2017, I gotta give it up. It’s great and they pulled it off about as good as you can expect. I liked it.

My favorite band since I heard them in 78'. A lot of special memories listening to those 3 albums. Including a stint of doing background art in a DC Superman comic issue. Good job guys.
Thank you....
Thank you for the kind comment, I too hold this record and this band in a very special place in my heart, I love it so much I visualized side one in the early 90s....
ua-cam.com/video/rY2yBDFXlHg/v-deo.html
One seriously hard working (and with great effect) band that delivers! Thanks and Merry Christmas.
that singer is NAILING IT
Deeply appreciate all it took to put this together guys. Absolutely perfect 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks a ton!
So great to see and hear this now, thank you so much!
Caldwell was a hot drummer on Winter live and and also on the first Derringer album....he was one of the best, he was the best drummer J.Winter had, R.Hughes was very good but Caldwell it was more.....also the first Captain beyond....incredible....i say that because i'm a drummer myself and it's now 47 years i play drums, a bit retreated but drums are always in my mind....
I agree! Johnny really found top talent with Bobby Caldwell and Richard Hughes. Both were so fun to watch and listen to! It's great that we still have Bobby Caldwell along with his great music.
Wow...looking for Rod Evans and I found this. Superb !!
Thanks so much for posting this
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, shooting it and editing it was a labor of Fan Love for me.....
There is NOTHING like seeing such a performance in a small venue.....
Amazing show! Many thanks!
you're welcome....
“Sufficiently Breathless” touches me like very other few songs have ever done. The version here is freaking amazing, builds on the original recording so nicely.

THANKS for that info!
Bravo! Bravo!...
WOW! Been living in the St Petersburg Florida area for the last 15 years. If I only knew this was taking place I would've went. Listened to their music when I was in high school in the early 70's. These guys are awesome!
The only thing missing here is the smell of beer.
All the other ingredients for a great evening are there .
Saw them twice in 76'? as they toured Wisconsin first night and then west of Chicago the next, had all the albums at one time.
This is great. I grew up in Chi-town listing to Captain Beyond, Allman Brothers, Elvin Bishop, Vassar Clements, Tony Rice, etc. Now I live in BB, Pinellas County, FL. I somehow missed this gig. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastici
I agree....
Thanks for the link! I know the Band from the name. But never hear is! In German Radio Station in the seventys they never played or I fell in sleep.....
I could watch him drum all day,, wow he’s having the time of his life,,🐕🕺🐕
In French : Mais quelle musique incroyable ! J'ai découvert l'existence de ce groupe, en lisant un article sur le rock du début des années 70' ayant influencé le Heavy métal . Merci pour cette vidéo

But what amazing music! I discovered the existence of this group, by reading an article on the rock of the beginning of the 70's having influenced Heavy metal. Thank you for this video
You are very welcome....
I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
BC is awesome!
Unbelievable
Great show! Very impressive, and fun! 5 stars!
(With option of package liquor! Is that takeaway?)
Well done!
Kudos to all the musicians!
I played this in a prog band in1974.What a badass tune.Mezmeriztion Eclipse.
I was thinking I played "Mezmerization" in a band way back. Memory fades. I do remember playing "Armworth/Myopic Void."
Captain beyonds first album, the best album ever. Freddie the Swede.
Still loving this 45 years later
Holy Crap !! This is an art!!!
Your comment is appreciated.
This was a true fan labor of love....
Awesome! You have done a great service to CB and fans with this vid. Bobby Caldwell is a drummer's drummer for sure. I feel bad for that conga player-he prolly about slapped his hands off.
I thank you for your generous comment....
Here is a special treat for Bobby lovers....
ua-cam.com/video/AHGwHvxF8A4/v-deo.html
Yea the biggest influences on my drumming was Bobby, Ian Paice, Don Brewer, and Jerry Edmonton.
What a great set and what an amazing band, not sure how I missed this until now, the guitarist with the shades looks like Butch Vig.
He's playing my Strat! Lol
Hope to see you in or close to PA in 2021! Happy New Year, Bobby, and keep rockin!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THANK YOU FOE MAKING IT HAPPEN WISH I KNEW ABOUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE
I took the liberty of putting the first album's tunes in order, the segues suck, but you get the idea.....
ua-cam.com/video/um4TppkLy3E/v-deo.html
Might be live but the magic and feel is just as mind blowing as the album captain beyond first album. Will be the best album of all time no doubt 😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wonderful one of my top favorite bands beyond their time in music history
Please tour again when all this ""BS Nightmare "" thing ends! Till then play safe!
An outstanding performance.
This version of Starglow Energy @34:28 is amazing.
Caldwell still as dramatic and fusion oriented as Michael Walden - and as he did way back with Johnny Winter, he adds backbeat, lightning snare rolls (Sandy McKee & Gaylord Birch had similar) and he doesn't put fills & accents at obvious ends of measure, Eg under turnarounds, where the listener needs to hear the melody resolve in the guitar keys horns or voice
I have always said that Caldwell rates right up there Narada, maybe Copeland and Bozzio are on their tails...
''AWESOME''
Awesomeness!!
a gift!!!!!!!
My youths favorite
Beer and a splif…
Sensacional!
Verdad!
...wow! Three guitars. Now that is really beyond Captain Beyond.
Groovy as Hell! Holy crap - Not a single guitar too much...
I'd always heard they weren't good live that was fuckingawesome
nice ! :)
Just amazing...
phenomenal
Awesome reunion of old Captain Beyond with Bobby the only real member from the old days but he sure took stock of finding these guys that can play the old & new material & still make it look east when it was never that. How Rhino managed to do what he did live was mind bending & it's easy to see why there's 3 guitarists of quality to do what Rhino did by himself on record & Live. Growing up in the 60s & 70s it was sad we here in MD. didn't hear Captain beyond on the airwaves but the names of the band were known to all us hippie musicians & when the first LP came out it was a no brainer it was going to be special & one spin on the ole turntable & we were totally hooked . Same for Armageddon & they would have soared to the top had it not been for the dreadful accident that took Keith Relfs life & finished the band. Only one album but it was still the same powerhouse as the first CB album. Those that knew of Steamhammer & Martin Pugh & Louis C. knew that Armageddon was going to be as awesome as Captain Beyond & that they were. Great days of 70s Rock as it was meant to be. Thank you Bobby for so many great memories of the times with Johnny Winter , The Allmans , Captain B. & Armageddon & still playing the living daylights out of this music & those drums. made the 70s ROCK like hell !!!!!
Thanks for the video. I've always loved Captain Beyond, since I first heard the first album. Have played Armworth/Myopic Void with a band. I personally think three guitarists can get a bit messy. I feel that, with two guitarists, a band could adequately reproduce their music. Maybe some keys on certain tunes. But they did it live at Montreux with just Rhino! Just my two cents worth.
Sounds like a few grand to me brah. I thought the same. Rest in Heaven Rhino.
Espetacular!!!!!!
way back in the 70s my little brother bought a album in a zellers that i soon took over i wore that album out it didnt even have a tittle??? just captain beyond ?a guy bouncing a ball? what a frigging amazing album a few years later i heard the band Armageddon with bobby caldwell kieth relf from the yardbirds that album to me will be my most fav album of all time thank you all for not making pop albums
Wish I was there...
It WAS an extraordinary experience. This has been one of my favorite albums and Bands since I first heard it, and when I had the opportunity to actually FILM the band playing this great music with these fantastic musicians I found myself in FAN HEAVEN....but that's only part of it....THEN I had to take all the footage I captured and EDIT it....so I got to sort of LIVE with that music for dozens of hours while I edited the footage....it was one of the high points of my creative life.....
that guitar player is so wicked well the whole band is wicked why is it that the more talented you are the less you make and lesser venues i guess set the controls for the heart of the sun
Wish i got to see Bobby. I was lucky enough to see many of my drum hero's, but unfortunately, not the great Bobby C.
He's STILL got it....
@@JoeVideo66 most definitely.
Sufficiently Breathless best album ever.
That is Fxxxxxg awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
As an additional thank you and since I'm a dedicated fan, I added a set-list with timelinks to each individual song in the comments here. Also the names of the band members.
(You can copy it and add it to the video description if you want)
Definitely one of my favorite bands of all time, and probably one of the most underrated bands of all time (along with 'Camel')
Bobby is a true legend, and has been such an inspiration for me as a drummer.
I got turned on to them by my father, he used to blast them all the time when I was a kid in the mid 80's.
I wish he was still around so I could show him this amazing video. Good job on the video, man.
Greetings from Norway, and keep on dancing madly backwards!
(There was a couple of tunes I didnt recognize, if somebody knows what they are called!?)
Thank you Daniel.I appreciate your work. I wouldn't have known a lot of this & I also been a huge fan since '72.GOD bless you always.
Attack of the Triple Stratocasters..Pretty tight
Went to see Capt Beyond in Ft Wayne Ind around 1973. Close to hour after supposed starting time, guy came onstage and said" due to contract issues, Capt Beyond will NOT be playing tonight, but please stick around and give the warmup band a nice welcome, here on thier first tour, promoting thier first album, give a loud welcome to ZZTOP" lol,,,,ok, ill stick around.. Been a fan of ZZ top ever since.
Amazing!
Def a different Bobby Caldwell to “what you wont do for love ;)
El batero original, que bueno!!!!
You guys need to do a So. Cal gig before I croak !!! LOL
Hey guys sounds good
This is worth watching, but it's almost more like a cover band, since Calwell is the only original member. I most missed Rod Evans. At least that amazing music still lives on.
There first 2 records dedicated to Duane Allman and Berry Oakley are 2 of the finest recordings ever.. Remember the drummer and Lead singer wrote this album. The drummer is the man..
That's what blew me away in '72. Bobby C was responsible for the music! Thank GOD I got to see the original band with Alice Cooper if I recall correctly.
Very touching considering I am also a huge ABB fan. Bobby looks great as well as being a fantastic drummer.
I agree ☝️ this is major head music 😊
@jblcva, I still my original coy of the first album with the hologram of the Captain on the front cover & the written tribute to Duane & the second LP to Berry . Those were the days !!!! Love Bobby & the band though i play guitar not drums but Bobby & Jim Gordon were the best !!!!
Who is the guitarist in black? He looks like the George Harrison of heavy rock!
Line up and Setup please!
What kind of write up was that? No mention of so much as one name of any of the musicians?
nice bunch better than the best
oh just one more comment holy f@#k that is so good
Lineup?
An all time favorite since high school.
Dancing madly backwards bass work stinks.
I soo wish the audio was way better.
So do I..... there was NO budget for this shoot, I did it by invitation of B.C. but had to make do with what I had on hand, alone, the audio guy on site had a mixing board so old it had NO mixer out jacks, I was forced to use a small digital recorder with a stereo condenser mic. The ONLY saving grace was that the house mixer was up on a balcony and the house audio guy had a piece of wood that jutted out over the audience pointed at the stage where I attached the recorder giving me the same audio environment that the house heard. Then in post I EQ'd the hell out of it as best I could, but yeah, I would've preferred a friendlier audio recording, all I can say is this was better than a phone recording, and let's appreciate what we got, it may NEVER happen again.....
@@JoeVideo66 Thanks for the video! Good stuff!
