Lucky you!

They were certainly one of the greatest rock outfits EVER.

Jim McCarty is a great player. Very inderrated

[@gogoyubari366]

What makes you believe he's underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world? Please explain?

So great. His playing on those THREE Cactus Albums - The “Spaulding Guide” for rock guitarists.

GREAT CACTUS MUSIC EVER...Thanks for share...great perfornance

RIP Tim Bogert !

[@drj602]

We lost Rusty a long long time ago, but Cactus without Tim is The Jim & Carmine Band.

[@poopy_pants_joe1194]

Tim was actually a jerk and a problem. At least Pete was nice...

@@poopy_pants_joe1194 you are SO wrong. Bogart was the soul of this band AND a Great guy. I KNEW Him.... Jerk!

[@thehyperspacefamilytree652]

People die...the rest of us carry on as well as we can. It was my HONOR to facilitate the reunion in my studio and travel the world with my heroes. Tim is my all time favorite bassist...You want them to retire? You need a "band name" or you can't tour....our 3 reunion albums were VERY well received. ...yet, I'd rather have had Tim & Rusty...it wasn't an option.

[@drj602]

@@fenderbass3847 From what I gather, Tim went through a “period” of being not do easy to get along with and a change of ways at some point. Nevertheless, one of the absolute greatest of them all; without question. And of course you get into the period of the technical virtuosos. BUT that still doesn’t make them… any of them as good as TIM.

Wow . They performed at the Puerto Rico festival. Their great musicians...

[@leehenderson8132]

Holy God's I loved this band with Warner hitchings on guitar

[@rockinrandylee]

Cactus had great guitarists...but I only saw the band once and it was with 250 thousand friends at the Pocono Raceway in 1972.They played the "Ot and Sweaty album with that crazed teenager Fritchings on guitar...WOW !!

Carmine and Timmy and Atomic Rooster's Peter French weren't too bad either....ha ha ha

The guitar and bass need some serious VOLUME!!!

[@bumpdunlop]

Their stage volume is too loud and they didn't make it into the board mix. Typical of many guitarists.

[@mariomendozaramirez9674]

Tienes razón!!! Están mal ecualizados!!! Pensé que eran mis nervios!!!

[@benjaminacargen7799]

I think the mix engineers can redo and mix 'em again.

[@donaldellis-wt6xl]

I thought the same thing. Have seen them several times nowhere near as weak as this sounds

[@villaacevedo]

Good memories! thanks! (Jorge Villa).

[@donaldellis8952]

Love Cactus as of 2021 The only original member is Carmine

[@themistreators]

always use 2 mics in case one goes bad on guitar amps ,, sounds like someone accidently pulled the guitar amp mic,

increible

[@larryjohns7156]

Great job guys!

[@oldmcmetal3688]

If you`re expecting state of the art listening quality, you`ll be disapointed. If you just want to see an excellent show from a band of times long gone, enjoy!

Anyone watching this can plainly see the huge size of the hall and should realize that the sound in there was probably awesome though not adequately captured here. I'll take ANY live Cactus I can get !!!###

C'est le groupe d'un batteur et d'un chanteur ? Où sont les 2 cordes ? Dommage, j'adorais ce band.

[@michaelfuria4257]

Cactus without Tim?

[@bumpdunlop]

Tim opted out of every band he was ever in and became a teacher.

[@heathinvaderstudios]

He retired in 2008, and Pete Bremy filled in for him after that. Tim passed away just this past January, the first Cactus member we’ve lost since June 3rd 1982 (Rusty Day). Rock in Peace, Tim & Rusty. UPDATE: We lost ANOTHER member of Cactus back in September, albeit one who was only in the original band for a little while: guitarist Ronnie Leejack. He played slide on Restrictions and Token Chokin, And is in the entire Fully Unleashed Volume 2 album. He started Wicked Lester after his time in Cactus. Wicked Lester eventually evolved into the band we know today as Kiss.

[@heathinvaderstudios]

Rusty had his own Cactus band from 1976 to around 1980 or so, and that featured John Sauter (from Ted Nugent’s Weekend Warriors album) on bass. When John left, Rusty hired their soundman, Monte “Mondo” Thomas, to become the new bass player for his Cactus incarnation. Mondo stayed in it until the end of that Cactus incarnation’s time. A VERY tiny number of bootlegs of Rusty Day’s Cactus with John Sauter on bass have circulated over the years. Also in the band were Steve Dansby on guitar and Frankie Robbins (later replaced by .38 Special’s Gary Moffatt) on drums.

[@kevindirito2919]

Great guitar but not as loud as the vocals. bad one on the soundboard! Saw Cactus open for Jimi Hendrix at Sic's Seattle Stadium 1970 and soundman had the balance. It was great!

[@weakfallenmanapieceofmysel3633]

Talk about mailing it in.

[@teeceemoo]

I think the singer slipped the mixing/engineer something because when you can't hear the lead player, something is fkn wrong

[@JohnFiocchi]

Yeah it's called working for Cory Wacker

[@cedrusattila]

Usual Error: guitarist roars on stage: big amp ..- Technique: I can't insert the guitar outwards because there will be a lot ...!

[@pleximars]

+Denny Mcfastlane Interesting, thanks for the info. Egos run high in rock......

[@dennymcfastlane3159]

+pleximars So true plexi, what a shame. At least it was 75% of an original band with Timmy. On Tim's Facebook page, he looks pretty damn content sitting on that restored "KnuckleHead"! He always was into Motorcycles, i think he crashed once and was hospitalized, which put off the 1st Cactus reunion tour back in 2007. R.i.P. Rusty.

[@pleximars]

+Denny Mcfastlane i was in many bands in the 70's and 80's and we always played cactus tunes. I was also a shovelhead chopper rider. All that is behind me now, except i still write and play my gitter and have been influenced by those bros. Yes RIP Rusty.

[@dennymcfastlane3159]

+pleximars Lots in common Plexi, was in many bands also in the 60'-70's. Now i just play alone mostly. Never gave up the Motorcycles tho'. I know Jimmy and see him play mostly at lounges around and in Detroit. He just sat in with Motown fUnK guitarist Dennis Coffey. *Rusty was a very cool dude, a rotten shame him and his son were murdered! C'ya.

[@starman9536]

[@bryansimmons4550]

Absolutely lame and boring. Carmine must be embarrassed to being playing with these guys after playing with Jeff Beck and Tim Bogert. And yes, I know HE was the one of the original founders of the band. The best album under the Cactus name was " 'Ot n' Sweaty."
