- The original legendary lineup of Zephyr, Candy Givens, Tommy Bolin, David Givens, John Faris and Bobby Berge (who had replaced Robbie Chamberlain on Tommy's urging) broke up in late 1971. Tommy was pulled by his early childhood conditioning of "becoming a star like Elvis" had left to form his first solo band Energy. It was time. But in 1972, Tommy was more interested in "Heavy Metal Jazz Fusion" than radio airplay. His "manager" Barry Fey was incapable of finding him a supportive record company home. It was a challenge and Fey had never been a manager. He was a promoter first who constantly was feeding his need for cash flow to feed his rampant gambling addiction. Human relations and artist development were not his specialty. So by 1973 Tommy was broke! Marty Wolff, a visionary Boulder concert promoter approached the band (he had been one of their first supporters) about a few reunion dates. This one from Art's Bar and Grill (now apartments) had Marty making a great recording on reel to reel. In the late 90's, TBA worked out a deal with David Givens to release it on CD. We developed an amazing booklet and we were able to put it out. We should work out the details for releasing it again. This is a non monetized repost to help support this great music made by 5 gifted and inspired musicians who made Boulder proud. Then and now.
I grew up in USSR and have been fan of Tommy since 1976 after DP album Come Taste To the Band was released. And still working on his licks, style and tone.
👍☺️🇯🇵
I am from Greece and a fan of you, too!!! You are such a great artist!!!
@@georgefromgreece4119 thank you. not me, but Tommy Bolin is a tasteful master of heavy funk
The creator has a master plan is epic! A masterpiece
So good!!
Wow. Great stuff! Thanks so much for posting this!
At 7:35, Tommy quotes the verse melody from The Beatles' A Day In The Life in his solo, using the Echoplex to machine-gun and dive bomb.
SO cool. The guy was a master. Been a huge fan since I saw him live in 1976 on the Teaser tour at the Portland, OR Paramount theater.
Thanks for pointing that out! I'd not have caught it otherwise. But he absolutely threw a quick Beatles riff in there.
I never saw him live, didn't get hip to him until after his passing. Glad you did, though! ☮
Thanks, this is so very enjoyable. About the same set when I saw them in Houston. Two different times. Once in a small club. And once at a festival in Almeda, outside of Houston. The show was raided by The Sheriff’s Department. Some footage of the playing on You Tube.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this and for everything you post.
Damn you know I love Tommy but this is my favorite stuff he's so hungry here
This is just phenomenal! Thank you for posting. Tommy was among the greatest guitarists ever. And Candy was one of the greatest lead singer/front women ever. May they forever Rock in Power.❤
Que abuso, eran demasiado buenos, Candy y Tommy resaltaban por supuesto pero todos en la banda eran geniales. Tommy tremendo geniaso
