Vocalist Rusty Day, guitarist Jim McCarty, bassist Tim Bogert, and drummer Carmine Appice, collectively known as Cactus, made their auspicious debut in their very first public performance that night. Fortunately, this stunning and historic show was captured on tape and has now been unearthed from the archives and released on all formats!\u00a0<br><br><em>The Birth Of Cactus 1970<\/em>\u00a0finds the freshly minted quartet ripping through some of the key tracks from their landmark debut album including \u201cParchman Farm,\u201d \u201cFeel So Good\u201d and \u201cNo Need To Worry\u201d plus some smokin\u2019 hot blues numbers. The performances are not only supremely confident, but also fluid and dynamic as each member locks into the groove and relentlessly rides it.<br><br>Drummer Carmine Appice had this to say about the concert recording,\u00a0<em>\u201cI remember doing that first gig, hanging out with Hendrix who was a friend of Cactus. We got on stage and the energy level was off the charts! All the songs kicked major ass. We were so excited to get Cactus going and this show helped.
