For Randy fans only

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this DVD but if you don't like Jimmy Hendrix style guitar you will get bored. Randy California died while saving his son from a ripe tide in Hawaii. I met Randy a few times during performances with his band, Candy Apple, in 1977 I like the song Randy wrote for his disabled friend Peter Franklin on the 3 CD set. Ed cassidy is always great

Moog Taurus Unleashed

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

As this is really the only Spirit video available, we'll have to put up with common complaints. The aforementioned MOOG with it's single note blasts from Randy, once the wrong note, mostly too loud, not adding anything really. Crowd noise? Not bad. Sound mix? Not enough bass and not enough Fuzzy vocals. Sure Randy's mugging for the crowd and eating his guitar gets a little too much at times. If you compare it to the mugging done by Frank Zappa in the Baby Snakes concert, you'd say Randy is a piker compared to Frank in the mugging department.

How good is it? For 1978 video, this print was really clean. Compared to the cuts that are on the net, night and day. Sure there's some scan lines and such every now and then from the different format, also dropouts more apparent with LCD/Hi Def televisions, but it's as good as it gets.

What earns raves from me is the performance. It doesn't get any tighter. Randy is Randy at his best. He toys with his guitar and plays it without care but skillfully. He makes it look really easy but the chords he's hitting are anything but. Larry Knight is beating the bass up, if only we could have heard him better. When Randy and Larry play together, the tightness continues. The flow is seamless. Then you add Ed Cassidy who does a little mugging himself, but mostly is sweating the beats and making it look easy.

The Spirit "golden 4" songs are as standard as it gets. Just the hits and really are not the stars of the set. "Rockpalast Jam" is one of the best electro jams. "Like A Rolling Stone" is performed over the top, the best live version by Randy. Dickey Betts comes in to jam at the end of the set and gives an idea of what Randy did just after Spirit broke up the first time. Jam. Ahhh, but the best is the drum solo. "It's All The Same" is a great song to begin with, and Randy gets his solo/mugging time, but then it switches to Ed, who plays a 7 minute drum solo that flows and grabs and never stops being something special.

I sure wish I was into this way back when. While it's not perfect by today's standards, it's still a good look in on a tight trio that was all but forgotten in America.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017

Spirit was one of the great bands of the late 60's, fusing a rock and jazz sound for something sweet and different. The band as it appears in this 1978 performance is only a reduced semblance of their former selves - only Randy California and Ed Cassidy remain. With Larry Knight on base, they present a much more standard rock sound which loses most of the charm of the original band. This DVD rates only 3 stars at best, but as it is the only extant video record of this band, I will probably keep my copy. There is nothing great here, but there is good, bad, and ugly as detailed below:

The Good:
Randy's guitar work
The set list (mostly old Spirit and Hendrix stuff)
Overall video and audio quality of the recording
Ed's drum set
Dicky Betts appearing with the band on the last encore

The Bad:
Randy's singing
Ed's drumming

The Ugly:
The absence of Jay Ferguson on vocals
The absence of John Locke on keyboards
The long stretches of nothing but audience noise in between the numerous encores
The number of times Randy puts the word "Rockpalast" into the lyrics

great entertainment

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2012

I'm not aware of many Spirit performances on video, so this is qqite a rare treat.
It is not the Spirit of the first four albums-though Randy and Cass carry on joined by Fuzzy Knight, probably common knowledge to anyone considering making this purchase. The performance of the trio is pretty damn good and Cass displays his ability as a drummer throughout, highlighted by a lengthy solo and Randys great guitar work is a marvel. Granted Randys vocals aren't the best-but he is a competent vocalist. The moog is a little overboard with modern technology, but played through an old tv with cheap speakers which would have been the norm at the time, the sound is much less obtrusive. Some reviews make it sound as if Randy was skirt chasing the entire concert--utter nonsense. Dickey Betts joins the trio for a solid jam at the end of the show and Randy appears to really be enjoying himself playing along with Dickey. To compare the sound of some songs from this live performance by a trio to studio versions by a quintet is pretty silly, but as live versions-they rock. I particulary enjoyed the non Spirit songs Hey Joe, All along the watchtower and Wild Thing but all songs are well performed. A great walk down memory lane to a different time and place, this dvd is well worth it's modest cost

Best later Spirit

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Over the years there have been many live releases of music made by the Randy California/Ed Cassidy version of Spirit. All have had some incredible material but this is probably the best release of all. There is a good reason for this concert to have become legendary. I had the pleasure of seeing every incarnation Spirit from before the 1st album and while the original lineup was the best, the trio on a good night could do the name up proud and that was the case here. The band was on fire and having Dickey Betts sit in at the end was just the icing on the cake. If you like Spirit you need this album. Unlike most of the releases from recent years this one has good sound quality.

Live Spirit

This Rockpalast show features Spirit in a power-trio format- drums, bass, guitar/vocalist. The band is in high spirits (no pun intended)and gives a rocking performance. I have no complaint with the sound, which I think is pretty good for 1978 while the picture quality is excellent. Randy is very rock guitar oriented, much more so than the Spirit of 1976 album would lead one to beleive. Thank goodness for Rockpalast, or these shows would be lost.

Brilliant gig, so so product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was there. Well, in front of the TV during the original live broadcast, just as I was for the other fifteen odd "Rocknächte" of the groundbreaking Rockpalast series. All of these concerts were transmitted live simultaneously on TV and Radio to numerous countries and introduced classic acts and lesser known bands, mainly from the US and UK, to an European audience. Spirit, now regarded as one of the top bands of Psychedellic Classic Rock, were virtually unknown in Germany 1978. This gig changed that. It was a blistering set with Randy California on the top of his guitar game. Unfortunately the recording quality of this release, as with most of the recent Rockpalast releases, does not do this concert any justice. It is by no means bad and better than a lot bootleg recordings, but could have been immensely improved by some simple mastering. I still have old tape recordings of some of the gigs with similar sound quality, which leads me to believe that these are rushed releases with little care for the final product. Same goes for the cover/booklet, which without doubt is informative but could do with some design improvement. Final verdict: the music is brilliant, the sound quality good, the packaging so so. Could have been so much more.

Ah spirit groupe cult des 70's que l'on retrouve içi à rockpalast pour la fin de leur grande période, la formation n'ayant pas survécue aus 80's; dommage comme le démontre cette très bonne performance avec les solis flamboyants de randy california; grand moment de concert vintage.

legendäre Session

Reviewed in Germany on April 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

Es ist eine der besten Gruppen der amerikanischen Westcoast und es ist sehr bedauerlich, dass Randy California nicht mehr lebt!
Was hätte man von ihm noch alles erwarten können? -- Die CD "Rockpalast" ist natürlich pure Nostalgie, in Erinnerung an die Nächte, in denen man bis zu 6 Std. und mehr Randy und den anderen zusehen und zuhören konnte. Songs wie "Nature's way" oder "Mr. Skin" und der legendäre "Rock Palast Jam" sind schon was Feines, vor allem als Ed Cassady hinter seinem Schalgzeug die Session einleitete.
Ein kleines Manko bleibt: die Aussteuerung ist nicht immer optimal, deshalb der Punkt weniger!

as this seems to be the only full length concert of spirit on dvd at present then i guess it will have to do,this line-up contains only two original members california and cassidy,the best songs here are the early ones but sadly there are not many of those.and who needs any more versions of hendrix,dylan and troggs songs,where are the great old ones like 'dark eyed woman' 'so little time to fly' 'aren't you glad'and 'uncle jack', cassidy maybe a great drummer but that long drawn out solo is pointless,so is that dreadful synthesizer sound which is heard throughout the concert. i saw the original band in the 60's and this is not a patch on them(oh for some early footage of original line-up) for those of you who remember them as they were stick to the first four albums,you know it makes sense
