[@robertcarter8074]

Jim McCarty one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. Happy Birthday Jim

You love the BLUES then you'll love CACTUS !!! BEEN A FAN SINCE VANILLA FUDGE ! DRUMS&BASS from VANILLA FUDGE to CACTUS . FANTASTIC VOYAGE !!

[@MarshallAmpMan]

Jim McCarty, perhaps the most underrated guitarist in rock..THIS GUY is a GIANT when it comes to playing guitar. Along with Terry Kath of Chicago, Jim was a favorite of Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix had high praise for Jimmy.

[@salski70]

Huge influence on Eddy Van Halen too!

[@reggiechavez1747]

Shades of Zeppelin, or maybe it’s the other way around.

[@kosycat1]

I got to meet/breifly talk with Cactus in 2016ish, They were so cool. It was just like hanging out with any normal people. They signed my one way or another lp for me and a took a picture of Jim and another fan together. They killed it,best show I ever been too. In Sellersville, PA

Jimmy McCarty Plays the blues like no one else!! RIP Rusty.

[@ricardocardemil9383]

Temazo que nostalgia de juventud ❤

[@Snake7Plissken]

Absolutely on of the best recording of how to play the blues along with Johnny Winters "It's My Own Fault" from his live-album Johnny Winter Live And from 1971...

[@colinburke3758]

some things just do not travel..........but this does...... monumental but controlled playing as you would expect from such classy players....

[@drummer17562]

Cactus was the top group that was listened to by musicians & still is! (Cactus still performs and the audience is packed with musicians.) Tim Bogart and Carmine Appice redefined the roll of their respective instruments in rock music. Jim McCarty was already well known when Cactus came out from his work on all of Buddy Miles biggest hit LPs; one of which was produced by Jimi; i.e., Electric Church for which Jim received a Grammy on the song 69 Freedom Special. Check out Jim's blues on "Texas"

And Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels

What is wrong with people that say there underrated about bands & players, if they aren't top forty they are underrated,when most were top bands back then & if you didn't know it you weren't there, cactus was a top band !!!

[@heathinvaderstudios]

People say they're underrated because nobody ever talks about them today. It's always Led Zeppelin this or Aerosmith that, but bands like Cactus and Captain Beyond deserve to be talked about just as much today, if not more so. But no! Most people today have never heard of them, and it's an absolute crime, shame, and sin. I hope to change that by spreading the word about bands like Cactus because they deserve far more recognition than what they've been getting for the pst couple of decades. They may've been big back then, but they should've at least stayed that big to this day, if not have become way bigger by now. The problem is they haven't, and it's up to us to do something about that. After all, if it weren't for Cactus, bands like Van Halen and AC/DC would've been VERY different musically.

[@bholaoates1542]

@@heathinvaderstudios Plus, some critics unfairly dismissed Cactus as just a run-of-the-mill boogie band back in the day, so that's one way they were underrated.

[@bloozemc]

american blues rock personified...rip rusty

[@Carlito1988]

This is the ultimate version of "No Need to Worry', a shame Rusty is no longer with us, would have been great to see a reunion of the original band!

[@creamforever2677]

In rock history, the more deaths/fatalities/disbanded of musicians, the more myth and legend for musicians; Cactus is an example.

[@JKenWelch]

I was at the First Atlanta Pop Festival.....July 1969

[@Mynamesalexa]

Did you see Grand Funk?

[@joelsacks210]

Did you see/hear Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Buzzy Feiten? Or maybe that was at the Miami Pop Festival, a friend of mine from Montreal went and thats all he talked about,

[@DanielLDees]

What a great sound!

[@profoundhound]

These guys were the best live bands ever..... opened for Ten Years After,,, Alivin WHO?

5:15 Jim McCarty smokes on this one!!

[@francosalgado2328]

Yes it was , there is short video recording

[@keithwisell8528]

I bought this album the first day it came out in 1970. I loved Parchman farm, I didn't know who cactus was, but they were loud, and that was cool for me. Plus Hendrix, ten years after, Johnny winters, mountain, Allman brothers. I thought I died and went to heaven. Where's the frigging cd?

[@jabu003]

you are missing sly & the family stone AND MILES DAVIS !!!!

[@bholaoates1542]

@Keith Wisell Me too. It was a 3-LP set. I think only the original Woodstock release had 3 LPs before that in rock music. Been waiting and hoping for the CD for 2 or 3 decades now. I guess it ain't never gonna happen. Thankfully, some of the music has been released on other CDs by Cactus, Mountain, The Allman Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, and maybe some others. Ten Years After's tune "I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes" (which I love) was also released on the "Message to Love" soundtrack, but they edited and chopped it up so much that I hate to listen to it.

[@bholaoates1542]

@@jabu003 Yep. And The Chambers Brothers' "Love, Peace and Happiness" was also a favorite of mine. The entire Miles Davis set can be seen and heard on the great DVD "Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue" if you haven't already seen it. Great interviews too on that DVD.

[@keithwisell8528]

@@bholaoates1542 it was the Album called Last great rock festival of the seventies, I think. Isle of wight and Atlanta rock festivals. I remember buying it from tower records in San Francisco. I have it and bought another down the line.

[@bholaoates1542]

@@keithwisell8528 That's correct. I remember Tower Records in SF. I lived around 90 miles from SF but I went to Tower Records a couple of times. Good times. When the album came out I used to listen to it all the time at my friend's house since I couldn't afford to buy it. Now I have 3 copies from when I converted it to CD many years ago and had trouble finding one that didn't have any scratches or pops...lol I did the same thing with another out-of-print festival album (double album) called 'The Mar y Sol Pop Festival'.

[@Mynamesalexa]

Saw them with Steve Miller, The Dead, and JIMI HENDRIX Temple Stadium Phila, Pa. April 1970 WOODSTOCK COMES TO MT. AIRY

No

[@jamesknight4784]

@@Mynamesalexa there is an unauthorized bootleg in which they jam together titled "the jimi-jimmy jam". it really was dipped in acid but there are some moments there.

flat out sick shyte....holy cripes.

[@jmsbk12345]

@randomandwelldone Hi there. You are actually correct in the first place. This is Cactus live at the Isle of Wight on Friday, 28th August, 1970. You can google it and see it on 'great rock festivals - Isle of Wight. You will see them there and there is a picture of them at the Isle of Wight as well. It also appeared under the Isle of Wight disc 2 on the triple album.

[@fattwat1]

Yeh it was Friday night I was there they were the last band on that night got off the stage very early in the morning amazing band live

[@jabu003]

why the hell Cactus was never filmed......

[@yourtubesteak]

Ya I know. And they were at Atlanta Pop as well.

[@timscott6081]

I checked the liner notes, and this Cactus song is from Isle of Wight. It;s on record 2 side 1. Record #1 is Atlanta Pop Festival with Johnny Winter, Poco, The Chambers Bros., The Allman Bros., and Mountain. Jimi Hendrix played at both shows, and his songs are from Isle Of Wight also according to my album. I hope this helps.

[@timscott6081]

I think it is only on vinyl, so it can be converted to cd with a cd to cd burner with aux inputs. That's how I do it. I can put analog signals into my burner (cassette, DVD, vinyl or any other source ) Through a mixer, and make cd's from anything ! It's done in real time, so it takes 10 min. for a 10 min.song.

[@bholaoates1542]

@Tim Scott These two tunes by Cactus are available now on CD on their release "Fully Unleashed: The Live Gigs, Vol. 1".

[@timscott6081]

Not according to my albums liner notes, but they may have made a mistake. It's great music wherever they played it.

[@TheBorjamz]

Just as an outsid observation as someome who plays guitar where does this dude find the real please give me one of five id be happy

[@DIGGERMGR]

Anyone know if this is available ???

[@bholaoates1542]

These two tunes by Cactus are available on their release "Fully Unleashed: The Live Gigs, Vol. 1". Most of the rest of the original 3-LP set featuring other artists remains out of print except for tunes by Mountain, The Allman Brothers, Jimi Hendrix and maybe some others. Miles Davis' entire set can be seen and heard on the excellent DVD "Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue".

[@yourtubesteak]

Better check the album liner notes.

[@TheBorjamz]

Zippy

[@yourtubesteak]

This is actually from the Atlanta Pop Festival, not Isle Of Wight.

[@carlygtr554]

[@Mynamesalexa]

Didn't Grand Funk play there.
