The original Spirit line-up was one of the best bands to come out of the late 60's west coast music scene. So many influences...folk, jazz, rock, the blues, and even the occasional country tune! Randy could play anything and do it well! Listen to Taurus...where have you heard the melody line before? Jimmy Page stole it for the intro to Stairway to Heaven. Pick up a copy of "The Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus" for a truly breathtaking listening experience!!! !
