Pentagram - 1973 Demo [FULL DEMO]

[@GabAssbreaker]

Saw them last year in a small club in southern Chile and it was the best concert i seen in my life, they played almost all these songs and they sounded as good as here, Bobby is a total legend.

[@Itsyrm8]

Honour to all real pals too mate. They help a great deal Oh! One more thing to say. There was a 2nd british invasion at that time. With the f beatles and the great sabs. They got all the popularity n all. Same story holds with the genious 13th floor elevators and the real texan legend: roky erickson. Roky was playin n screaming , full psykedelia by the age of 14 i think. Early sixties. And again we all got f bombarded by 4 beatles....

[@renatorabelo9527]

No one knows how much I want them here in my town, Campo Grande, Brasil. I love their sound and have been listening for more of 10 years (i'm 26 now)

I really like the intensive, jazzy drumming, a bit like when Nick Mason or Bill Ward is playing

[@embryonic7692]

Saw Bobby Liebling live around 6 yrs ago. He was still rocking hard asf. Looked like he came out of a coffing and just started swining. Fucking happy I got to see them!!

@@carlwood184 I wish they'd play UK .Would travel long and far to see them.

Hope people realize the lineup in the photo is not the same as the musicians on this recording. Victor, Marty, and Joe came in about 10 years later(or you could say Bobby essentially joined their band "Death Row" later changing the name to Pentagram.

Who is this lineup, then?

Was just about to ask. No one dressed like that in the early 70s. I wasn’t aware that one guy was the only original member when they “reformed” in the 80s. Makes sense cause they sound nothing alike.

This is absolutely wicked as hell. I love it..Very heavy 1973 demo..

[@zosozildjianmagick1790]

Best Demo ever! Love the heaviness! Great riffs!

The correct order from the original demo reel is: 1. Walk In The Blue Light 2. 20 Buck Spin 3. Review Your Choices 4. Forever My Queen 5. When The Screams Come.

Bass sounds so much better than the relapse "re mix ".. I like this clean copy better

[@christophergordon7433]

Relapse didn’t remix it.

[@jamie.777]

@@christophergordon7433 apples and oranges. The f*ckng reissue everyone owns is relapse! Wish this version was sold,. I like the victor griffin era the best. I own the actual all your sins demo tape. I also own day of reckoning ORIGINAL mix on cassette tape [3 copies]. I also own the Marshal Levy [semi official] records. I know pentagram very well. My pentagram collection of music is pretty awesome. U would be jelly. Lol

[@colinconnolly892]

I actually got to see Pentagram back in ‘94 at club called “The Grand” on 14th St in Manhattan. They were on a bill with Iron Man, 13 and from England Cathedral. I remember having a conversation with Lee Dorrian of Cathedral about Pentagram, I didn’t realize who I was to talking to until after the fact.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

The definition of " Stoner rock " : " I spent all night after the show downing pints with Lee Dorrian and talking about music ... when I got home late that night it dawned on me I might just had been socializing with that guy from Napalm Death , the vocalist from the Headliners that night , owner of Rise Above recs etc, etc ... "

[@mike_likes_sludge]

I have the utmost respect for Pentagram. I got to open for them at a reunion show in the very early 90's at Tiki Fala's in Dumfries, VA....got to see Bobby literally die on stage (or at least walked out on stage after an overdose/adrenaline shot) at The Black Cat in Washington, D.C., which turned into Pentagram Karaoke night...it was weird. Even weirder was ending up driving around the guy (who was an absolute mess at this point) that drove Bobby TO THE SHOW! We all also ended up at some weird ass D.C. college orgy. Oh, the good times!!! Haha. Later in life, I was even asked if I wanted to audition for Pentagram by a member of the band. I wanted to, but declined. My life was at a different point and the Black Cat (Kat?) show was hard to forget.....no matter how fun/interesting/insane the night was!! Pentagram.... still love 'em. \m/..\m/

From 1967 to about 1973 Cream was a big influence on many of the early hard Bands.

[@GabAssbreaker]

They were one of the first bands that sounded really heavy, along with Blue Cheer and Vanilla Fudge. Clapton played some wild stuff in those years.

[@donaldboggs2553]

Funny thing is Bobby doesn't recognize pentagram as doom to him it's rock and roll

[@powerplantplanetuniverse5945]

It was back then. Heavy occult rock it was labeled in the early seventies...Blue Öyster Cult,Black Sabbath,Sir Lord Baltimore,Black Widow,Coven...if you know what I mean? The label stoner rock was coming up around 1989. Masters of Reality were the ones that got branded fist time as a stoner rock act!🤗😊😂🤩

started in alexandria, virginia. never got signed but came close.

[@l.salisbury1253]

Almost signed to CBS (thanx to connections with BoC) until Leibling learned the bigwigs were going to get him to sign away the rights to his songs, fire him then bring in a "better" vocalist! Leibling knew of this since someone left the studio intercom on! Almost signed to Casablanca! KISS were sent to recruit new talent and noticed Pentagram. They got to hangout with the BIGGEST band in America (Hell, the world!), ride in their limo... and see them without all that damn makeup! This deal fell through when they wouldn't let Paul Stanley (or Ace Frealy?) have the rights to "star lady". (KISS ended up signing the West Coast band ANGEL... whose ONLY long term claim-to-fame is Zappa wrote a song about them- "Punky's whips"!)

[@erikstorm8935]

@@l.salisbury1253 Bobby never had the *best* voice, especially back then. But he always had charisma on steroids! And, once he changed his singing style to what we all know and love, it was much better. Im guessing that was after the CBS thing? Nevertheless, he still had a decent voice even in his early Pentagram years. Plus, again, so much charisma!

Questi sono HARD/ METAL ma Non DOOM non sono abbastanza cupi per esser definiti in quel modo !!!!!! I BLACK SABBATH sono più DOOM di questi ,ed io che sono un amante del progressive rock vi posso dire che sonorità più DOOM di queste vi sono per esempio in RED dei KING CRIMSON oppure in OCTOPUS dei VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR o perché no nei GOBLIN !!!! Tutti più DOOM di questi !!!!!!
