Great live performance from the ultimate Classic Soul Jammer Drummer-Lead Vocals Mr. Peter Rivera (RARE EARTH Fame/Co-founder): your outtasight, Peter. Soul Jam on!!! Peace.
I have the original vinyl Rare Earth album I inherited form my sister. She was born in the mid 50's and me in the late 50's. Get Ready was the first, single sided, long play, album I ever heard. I remember playing it at a party in the late 80's and a couple of older gals thought it was as awesome as I did. Good memories! The original was best but unfortunately I have not found a decent video of the original Get Ready performance. Perhaps they were ahead of their time.
In 1969 while a student at the University of Tampa I saw Rare Earth as the lead in band for Steppenwolf in Tampa,Fla. they were so awesome they upstaged Steppenwolf! In fact Steppenwolf was such a disappointment I wished they could have brought Rare Earth back out on stage. The thing that blew me away was the band's total musicality. When they played "get Ready" you could fully appreciate the musical talent of each band member during their solo.
In 1969 I saw Rare Earth as the lead in band for Steppenwolf in Tampa,Fla. they were so good they upstaged Steppenwolf. I’ve been a huge fan of Rare Earth ever since. Rare Earth without Peter Rivera isn’t Rare Earth!
