Cactus / Swim ( 'Ot N' Sweaty Album 1972 )

[@jesseroman3]

Pure Rock and Roll!

[@carltone]

I went through 3 Ot and sweaty albums as a teenager. The ultimate party album. Over the top guitar, Carmen and Tim just jaw dropping, keys and vocals deluxe .Wish I would have seen these guys live.

[@lorrainedalu9344]

I had never heard of this band when my boyfriend first played this album for me one night. My first thought was "How can the Rock & Roll world be so ignorant as to ignore such a fantastic hard rock group like this "? These guys could just rock your socks ( and mind ) off !! Simply the best ever live.

GREAT CACTUS...Thanks for share...what memories

[@scott30771]

Cactus is what we are missing guys. They are what I have just decided to revise. Fasten the seat belts? No way man!

[@HinknownUnson]

Without a doubt, one of the best live shows I ever witnessed.

[@FRENCHPF]

We recorded this Album live on stage at the Mar Y Sol Festival, Puerto Rico, the other studio side of Ot N Sweaty was recorded at Jimi Hendrix's Studio New York.

[@johnrichardson1867]

Always Said if this band had stayed together they would have been Huge. They finally found the right members and the magic is for all to hear.

[@marioconnangle5267]

Hello, La meilleure intro live de concert rock de tous les temps. Le groove général et le jeu de guitare sont incroyable et n’a jamais été égalé . 🎸👍

[@frankstein5967]

We? I loved this record.

[@frankstein5967]

Were you the singer ?

[@denniskressler7823]

I played the livin shit outta this vinyl,saw the The New Cactus Band, and I wish I coulda been here for this performance,get it boogying,babe

[@carltone]

The riff ending the solo at 7:38 is in my opinion one of the tastiest pieces in rock guitar. Not to mention the full on intensity and tightness of the rest of the band!

[@HIWATTuser]

Great lineup!!

[@speedracer1945]

I bought this album after hearing a song on the radio. I never heard of them before I got the album.

[@sjoh104041]

Was discussing Hot Yoga classes with friends. And this great album, and group, just popped into my head!

[@scott30771]

you have reinforced my faith .

[@davidwalker-gk3kd]

I seen Cactus & Brownsville Station in 1972 in Asheville, North Carolina. I was living in Black Mountain at the time. It was Sex, Drugs & Rock 'N' Roll. Both bands were fantastic.

[@mctavish23]

Lived in Boone & Blowing Rock (1973-1975). Great times!!

[@Unclemoparman]

You saw them.

[@laissythierry7830]

J adore le blues ☺😊😀

[@actron]

Half the original lineup, but still a fantastic album.

[@thvan3357]

werner Fritzchings on guitar, what a killer !!!!!

[@MrKim2288]

Agreed. Great respect for Mike but Werner is in another class here. Take the music to another level completely.

[@hdavis21ch]

werner was my garage band guitar when we were in jr high school, in my basement, garage. he was superb then!

[@FRENCHPF]

Werner was a fantastic player, he certainly kicked arse, pleasure to have worked with him,

[@HIWATTuser]

​@@FRENCHPF I agree 100%. Werner's a good friend of mine. He's one of those guys that can pull out ALL the good stuff all the time.

[@highlights5397]

Peter - what type guitar and amps did he use on this show? His sound is phenomenal.

[@mctavish23]

How can 3 people dislike this?

[@johnrichardson1867]

Ot N Sweaty was a magic LP when I bought it in 1972 . This was the band at its FULL ON BEST Better than either BBA or the 1st Cactus.

[@Unclemoparman]

💩💩💩

[@marcgambell2767]

Saw Cactus in 71' Better than Zep!

[@heathinvadervlogs638]

Led Zeppelin on steroids by far! Wish I was born early enough to see them or jam with them as a guitarist myself. Rusty inspired me to pick up the harmonica too!

[@jimiplayscobo5877]

@@heathinvadervlogs638 Rusty and Jimmy Detroit rock legends. Jimmy is still rockin in Detroit playing in his 70's now and hasn't lost a lick :) Peace

[@FRENCHPF]

@@jimiplayscobo5877 Hi jimiplayscobo, slight correction, Peter French is the singer on this track and Album Ot n Sweaty, cheers.

[@oregonbobv]

The Mar y Sol Festival in peirto rico in 1972.

[@acrosstheuniverse1905]

Saw this album in , I'm not really sure, '72 or '73 in the recordstore, never heard of Cactus before, but side 1 wow, even now 51 years later it's still great, love it. As far as I know there was always a small group of people in the Netherlands who knew Cactus, and did they missed something.

[@jeffreyallenmichael1]

Why are all the graphic of the first cactus band? Both great bands but this version of cactus flat out rocks it.

[@jesseroman3]

U were there?

[@krisscanlon4051]

Sorry in no way am I trying to slight cactus and rusty day. But I swear to God. This sounds like a combination of David Lee and. Sammy's Vocals

[@dougmphilly]

Out fog hat fog hat

[@MrKim2288]

Where was the live portion of this album recorded?

[@FRENCHPF]

This live recording was done at a mobile studio on site at the Mar Y Sol Festival Puerto Rico, I am not sure if it was with the rolling Stones mobile unit, real glad to hear that you dug the music, Peter French.

[@jorgeperez9842]

@@FRENCHPF I'm a journalist here in Puerto Rico. Mostly sports but also music. Would love it if I could contact you to ask a few questions about Mar y Sol. I know the two photographers who covered the festival for my newspaper, El Nuevo dia. I've also followed your career since Leafhound and the Rooster. My e-mail is [e-mail].
