Larry Reinhardt died this year as well and now Lee Dorman...for them 2012 really was the end of the world...I use to hate this...
 ...when somebody die just a few short days before Christmas (and those end of the year celebrations)... It won't be a funny christmas for his family  ... it still just too fresh to get over it... It's rather exceptional to be a part of two great bands ... Lee Dorman was not a member of Iron Butterfly on their 1st album but join just before the recording of the massive "In a gadda da vidda" LP...this album and "Metamorphosis" are rather essential. + then he formed "Supergroup" Captain Beyond and recorded 2 excellent albums... At 32 already he had made his most essential recordings and tours... I will take more attention to his basslines the next time i hear one of those albums ...Lee get though the ultimate door bye bye now... rest in peace ...this is the end of the show  (wake up and standing ovation) ... |

Captain Beyond was the first band I ever saw on the big rock & roll stage (backing up Alice Cooper's "School's Out" show, July 28, 1972 at the Chicago Amphitheater).
Therefore, Lee was the first major bassist I ever saw live, and Rhino the first guitarist. I remember the show like yesterday. Rest In Peace, friends.
