Billy Cobham - Stratus

[Sewa]

This was a groundbreaking recording when it was released. Still has the WOW factor.

Off the charts musicianship from Billy Cobham -drums, Jan Hammer - keyboards, Tommy Bolin - guitar and Lee Sklar -bass

1. Bolin would have become the greatest rock guitarist of all time, probably.

Cobham is amazing, Hammer of course too. Sklar etc.

Saw Bolin live at Winterland, "Private Eyes" tour. May have been in between "Teaser" and "Private Eyes." Long flowing curly blonde hair, just like mine and he had a flower in his hair. On the way home I got one and did the same, my partner said I better take it off before we go into that bar, might get my ass kicked.

I saw em all just about, great guitar players (slight exaggeration I guess), he was different than everyone else.

Thanks for the memories.

Oh, no did not see Jimi so surely I did not see them all ..the story is after Jimi saw Tommy play one night, he gave him a ring and said he was the best, ever.

2. ...

The out take of the Teaser album will make everyone rethink great guitar players.

I should find that


Here it is, audio only

4. Here's another song from Spectum

Tommy shines on this track. According to Lee Sklar at 1:46 Tommy broke his E string and kept on ripping it.
