Rest in peace, Lee.
Rest in peace, Lee.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
YouTube's got the complete first Captain Beyond - s/t and third - Sufficiently Breathless. worth listening to - ymmv.
Wasn't Sufficiently album 2, with Dawn Explosion (different vox than Rod Evans) being the 3rd? Iirc it was.

RIP Lee. I love the first three IB albums.
I'm guessing that Iron Butterfly's self-titled 1st album may have been one of the first "prog" albums in our (me and my brother's) album collection (along with KC's ITCOTCK) so, of course, I've got fond memories of back then and am sad that another one has passed away. RIP, Mr. Dorman.
Peace,
Alex
I think it would have been better to have said RIP Lee Dorman(Iron Butterfly and Captain Beyond). That way more people would know who you are talking about. The name Lee Dorman by itself doesn't carry as much weight as his associated bands. Oh well. Anyway, RIP Lee Dorman. I just saw this on the morrow website.
