Captain Beyond is a Californian progressive‑rock band formed in the early 1970s whose debut (1972) blends hard rock power and progressive refinement. Early lineup included former members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly and Johnny Winter's band.

The debut album credits a dedication to Duane Allman. Key early members included Rod Evans (vocals), Bobby Caldwell (drums), Lee Dorman (bass) and Larry "Rhino" Rheinhardt (guitar).

A poetic, highly positive appraisal of Captain Beyond's 1972 debut. The reviewer frames the band as a Californian prog‑rock supergroup whose music blends hard rock power with progressive refinement. Highlights include inspired songwriting, evocative artwork, and a dedication to Duane Allman.

For:Fans of 1970s progressive rock, hard rock collectors, and listeners interested in supergroup lineups.

 The Captain Beyond are a genuine Californian prog-rock musical meteor formed way back in 1972 and perhaps yet another demonstration – if any were needed – that in the '70s there was a creativity and an incredible poetic power in the musical field impossible to put into words.
