    My dad was Business Manager for Spirit, among other groups. Ed Cassidy was a great guy, he would park his Nissan in our garage while away on tour. His son in law, Randy California, inspired by Hendrix, also inspired “Stairway” with his song “Taurus.” Mark Andes is legendary for his work with Spirit, Jo Jo Gun, Heart and Firefall. Saw them frequently in the 70s; hugely entertaining.

      Yes/ Randy's family lost the lawsuit but the intro to Stairway was definitely Taurus !!!

      I think Brian Flon is commenting on how 12 Dreams did not get the attention it should have back in 1970 and subsequent to that period. In my opinion, the album is one of the best concept albums ever recorded. If it hasn’t already, it should be one of those videos where an unaware listener is given headphones to listen for the first time and then we see his or her reaction to it. It really is a gem.

    I was very fortunate to spend the last 8 years of Ed "Cass"Cassidy's life getting to know him before he passed. He was still playing the drums a few times a week until he passed . Cass was a great person to know and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to meet him. FYI he would play Jazz drum beats and sounded amazing!

    So glad to find video of the OG lineup of Spirit, saw them constantly through 1969 & 1970, wasn’t thrilled when Jay Furgeson and Mark Andes left and formed Jo Jo Gunn, it just wasn’t the same. I loved Randy California and his stepdad Ed Cassidy or Father/Mr. Skin. They were a wonderful band.

      Those first two Jo Jo Gunne albums were some of the best rock to come out of the mid 70s but they decided or the record company did they stopped playing as they did on those albums & went towards the commercial side & fell flat as it was awful stuff compared to the first two records & seeing them live was pretty awesome i know as i've seen them & before them Spirit & Atomic Rooster on the same bill in MD. Mark is a fine bassist & his brother Matt was & still is a killer guitar player both ended up in Jo Jo Gunne with Jay.

    Randy got the "California" from Jimi Hendrix, when teen aged Randy, was a member of Hendrix' Blue Flames in NYC, the bass player was also a 'Randy', so Jimi designated one as Randy "California", and the other guy as Randy {whatever state that guy was from}. Fun fact !

    I saw them at the agora ball room in 1975. They headlined for Hydra and Kansas. I was dosed from a pretty woman so I hid from Kansas behind one of the arches. Suddenly three quarters of the crowd left and I heard this dream like music. As best as I can remember it was great. The band was pretty large and the drumset was the size of my living room.
    Sometime in the 1980s they played as a three piece and I saw them in the Tradewinds. Ed Cassidy played a dinky drumset that belonged to a local rock starlet. It was better than the first time.
    Edit. They played with the house band equipment and only brought a couple guitars, a keyboard, and drumsticks.

    A live Spirit concert was as good as ANY during a period that produced superior live music. They should have been HUGE but for something wrong with management. For example:
    Even though they recorded in LA with its high production values they couldn't get anyone competent to record them in studio. The four early albums didn't do them justice.
    Also, they were invited to Woodstock. Turned it down because of schedule conflict. D'oh!

      John McFarland The reason they did not do Woodstock is because Lou Adler their manager, was too busy with Carole King, The Mamas and Papas,etc. He wanted them to go around the country to visit radio stations and promote their new album. Jimi requested them to play with him @Woodstock. Randy and Jimi remained friends until Jimi’s death, which affected him greatly. Basically Lou Adler did a shitty job promoting because he did not have the time to do it right! I know because Randy is my cousin, never will forget the call from my mom on January 2 1997, devastating!

    In 1970 both Randy California & Wayne Kramer played plastic fantastic Dan Armstrong guitars. Two very influential musicians, Wayne Kramer is still in business.

They formed after Spirit. ua-cam.com/video/oDWxja7Sfnw/v-deo.html & from their first record. ua-cam.com/video/cOi0Iv5J45c/v-deo.html So he dropped the tambourine , not a big deal .
