Purple Pyramid Records will be releasing a vintage live
recording of legendary classic rock band Captain Beyond 'Live in
Texas October 6, 1973' on May 21, 2013 on CD & Double-LP. One of the most underrated
classic rock bands of the early 1970's, Captain Beyond were
considered a 'supergroup' of sorts at the time and featured original
Deep Purple lead vocalist Rod Evans, former Iron Butterfly guitarist
Larry 'Rhino' Reinhardt and bassist Lee Dorman, and ex-Johnny Winter
drummer Bobby Caldwell. Although the band only lasted three
critically acclaimed albums and several tours of the US and Europe,
the band's following is as strong today as it was back in their
heyday! Now with the release of this rare sought after concert
recording on CD and vinyl for the first time, fans can relive the magic
that was Captain Beyond in concert! Recorded just after the release
of the group's second album 'Sufficiently Breathless', Captain Beyond
'Live In Texas' captured the band while on tour with King Crimson.
"This was
an exciting night of music! Captain Beyond at the University of Texas in
Arlington... All the best..." - Bobby Caldwell
