Flight (USA/JRF)

Band from Florida active in 70's and early 80's. Three albums, "Flight" 1975, "Incredible Journey" 1976 and "Excursion Beyond" 1980. These are members,  exact album line-ups can be found on discogs: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Flight+%283%29

Pat Vidas (brass, lead vocals), Ted Karczewski (electric guitar, acoustic guitar), John Ray (acoustic guitar, bass), Russell A Dawber Jr (drums, percussion), Jim Michael "Fizzwah" Yaeger (keyboards), John DeNicola (bass), Steve Shebar (drums).

I couldn't find samples from the first album even though I find reviews telling it is the best one. Only on the third album does the band go in a different style.











Third album is more in this tone.

Flight  perfectly fits in PA!
They are wonderful mix the ELP, Chase and perhaps a little RTF.
This band maybe JR/F or Eclectic.
I don't understand, why don't  put in PA???

They've been rejected, I'm afraid.

I think this band is probably cleared in Eclectic, but it needs checking with them to be sure. The most recent chart (June 12, 2013) has two 'yes' votes plus a 'move' to JR/F (where the band was already rejected once), but three of the members shown in the chart don't appear to be active anymore, and a fourth much newer member (thellama73, who isn't include in the chart) has also voted 'yes'. Seems as though the general consensus is 'yes' (3 out of 4 active members), unless a unanimous decision is required following a rejection in another sub (I thought this rule only applied to a re-evaluation by a team that originally rejected the artist concerned though).
