Were he and Tommy bolin in the James Gang at the same time??

Never heard that - Bolin shows up on James Gang LPs after Joe left. although interesting that Bolin was in a Denver based band Zephyr while Joe was in Ohio with the James Gang. So they both had Colorado ties at different times. Bolin was lead guitar Deep Purple's 1975 record - Come Taste The Band.

the Zephyr lp is awesome imo.ron sent me a copy and i really like it.tommy cant be but 15 years old..

Tommy was all over the place, I had thought if those two were in the same place at the same time, doin the same thing it would have been a disaster or manna from heaven. No in between. Both Alpha Dog front men so that 's not a good combo for band longevity...

Love the Candy Givens vocals on the Zephyr LPs - Janis Joplin/Lydia Pense type vocals backed by Tommy Bolin guitar rock. Killer stuff

Hotties thru and thru, and boy did that album get some play time. One of the better engineed and produced albems at that time. the one long bass note on.........shit what was the song??

Yep, in their early 20's then. Yum. Local band. They played just up the road from me at Parkers in Shoreline - called the Aquarius Tavern back then. Wish I'd seen them back then!

Ed has some stories about those folks at that time. Mike the drummer had worked at Phase Linear and the sound boys were brothers that went out with the sisters, something like that....it was at least an hour story....man I don't know how he does it, but he can tell ya all about the Seattle hi fi and rock scene ....A LOT....

The low frequencies and synthesizer notes on Magic Man are jaw-dropping/crushing here on this Nautilus pressing. Demo material for sure. This was a 2nd listen to this LP. The original Mushroom pressing is incredible on it's own, not sure how you beat it and I haven't done a side by side comparison.

 

[laatsch55]

Root out "Little Queen" while you're at it.......Jeez kid, we gotta get ya current on your 70's heavies....

I feel the same way, somebody knew their shit...

Yeah the drummer went to my high school. I knew his brother through friends and I recall that we hung out a couple of times listening to music in the family basement which was full of drums and instruments. Never met Mike or those sisters though...they were 5 or 6 years older.

Their 1980 LP "Bebe Le Strange" is another one with jaw-dropping sound quality, and good tunes. They lose me after that one, although the 80s were tough on everyone....

 

[laatsch55]

The 80's were like someone had sucked all the life out of the 70's.....
