Third song from this concert at the Grugahalle, Essen, Germany (West Germany at the time) 5th March 1978.
Randy California died on 2 January, 1997, while trying to rescue his son from drowning (swimming in Molokai, Hawaii); he himself was pulled out to sea and drowned.

Spirit was so popular in my home town of Fresno that their concert sold out in 1971. A rock concert had never sold out before in Fresno, not even the Rolling Stones. So ... I never saw them live. But they were a real favorite of mine and my girlfriend at the time, Listy. Great band and, as StephenRedrobe reminds us Randy [Craig Wolfe] California died saving his then 12 year-old son from drowning. A wonderful guitar player and a great guy. We miss you Randy.

So Many Memories,I saw them at The Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970..... in Byrun GA. A ractrack. Hendrix too. But Randy California was so fu****g boss, really belted out ' I gotta Line on you" at the concert. Really great performance...There was sooooooo much pot in the air...It was a free high in more ways than one....and Of course Sly& Family Stone didnt show...LOL

I LOVE LOVE LOVE SPIRIT!!! Sometimes I go through Amazon.com while I'm buying CDs and pick a random band that I've never heard of. One day I picked the twelve dreams of dr. sardonicus. I smoked a joint and drove down the highway to the beach and had the greatest day ever just wandering around and being free..
