I saw Zephyr perform on Feb 6 1970 in New Orleans. They opened for Jack Bruce, Mitch Mitchell and Larry Corryell at the legendary Warehouse on Tchoupitoulas St. Before the show I met Tommy Bolin who walked up to me while I was in line to enter the venue looking to score. I couldn't help. I'm not sure if he procured anything before the show started.
Nicely done vid, many thanks. Zephyr was always one of my favorite bands back then, way over here in Connecticut. Sadly overlooked and missed... One of a kind.
They also played Dallas in 1970 and got a write-up in the underground newspaper Dallas notes. My copy of the bathtub album is signed by John Farris Randy Givens and Robbie Chamberlain, however candy and Tommy Boland didn't sign it
I grew up with Robbie in Jr high and later played keys with him in our top 40 band "The Rambling Blues" in Denver. He later joined Zephyr and didn't have a drivers license, so I would drive him up to Boulder for practice and hang out with the band. Live performances for Zephyr were powerful and classy with a mixture of rock, blues with a jazzy feel. It influenced my musical taste and playing to catch that feel.
Robbie was definitely a masterful drummer, he really shines on the first Zephyr record. However, personal problems and musical differences with Tommy and the band escalated, and Robbie left. Bobby Berge was Tommy's old friend, and he had what the band initially wanted. Bobby definitely fit the 'rock drummer' mold. But Bobby's drumming style was totally different, and eventually the band wanted Robbie back. Tommy was against that, and refused. So Tommy and Bobby left to form Energy. I've talked to Bobby personally- he was always a fan of Robbie's playing, and he still had a good relationship with the band when they got back together to play in 1973. Robbie played with them for Zephyr's 1997 reunion too.
Congratulations to Zephyr on being honored.

Zephyr, the biggest secret of the time, considered underground in some music circles. Still one of the greatest bands to bless my ears to this day.
Brings back the memories. Colorado in the time.
I met Candy in 1975 in Colorado. She was sweet but seemed a bit off to me. She used to hang out at club in WinterPark.
Unjustly overlooked band. Even their failed 80's comeback album was pretty good.
saw Candy with the 4 Nickators in Denver.... blew me away!!!

Hopefully David will release the live 1970 concert of Zephyr at the Fillmore on DVD. the Teaser is Amazing.

Excellent video! She had a great voice.
Beautifully done...much appreciated. A force of ethereal nature, deeply missed. Thank you so very much.
GREAT INFO , THANKS !!
The first time i heard her singing 2 days ago, i erroneously thought it was Janice Joplin. 😂😢😂
Janis Joblin and Timi Hendrax
Excellent doc
Thanks! A lot of hard work and collaboration went into making this!
Great band but it sounds like they needed some equally great songs.
I loved Going Back to Colorado, but unfortunately Robbie Chamberlain was not the drummer. Berge was a terrible choice.

Tommy didn't think so. He picked Bobby for the band "Energy", two cuts on "Teaser" & all but one song on "Private Eyes"...

I didn't really dig her voice no offense I'm sure a lot of people adored her
