The Bobby Caldwell Show with Captain Beyond - episode one
2-5-2023
The Bobby Caldwell Show #1
This is episode number one. It’s a bit short, but Bobby talks about what the show is about. We started recording and producing these before Covid. When Covid hit, we stopped. There are currently 8 episodes recorded.
I’ll start posting these regularly.
Thanks for listening and watching.
The episodes 2 through 8 are very focused on topics. Please pass this link along to your Substack friends and readers.
Best regards,
Michael Welch
Enjoyed the video, and well-remember Caldwell and Captain Beyond's first two albums (I even had the original jacket of their debut, with the lenticular print 3-D thingy)! An amazingly creative (and fairly buried in the sands of time) prog band, but much like White Witch (another wildly creative band little-credited, about whom I recently wrote), what the heck were either or both doing on Capricorn Records?!?
I wrote about White Witch's "excuse" for signing with the Macon-based Southern boogie-rock label...in fact, they mentioned two! But, like Captain Beyond, WW ended up after a couple albums and withering sales wondering why they were going nowhere, when all they had to do was look at the beige-colored spinning label rotating on their turntables! I look forward to hearing more from Bobby!
There’s a good YouTube video, of concert date.... Captain Beyond, plus my article on Bobby here on Substack, my 100 drummers, Bobby is number one feature
