I remember back when my old guitar teacher had told me about these guys and how good they were, and me (being a f**king dumbass at the time) just snubbed it off like whatever. It wasn't until recently when I checked them out that I'm kicking myself cause I didn't hear it sooner. Captain Beyond is a 1970s rock band made up of former members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly, and the Johnny Winter band, respectively. While having gone through several line up changes since it's inception, their self titled debut is still a fine example of Classic Rock and the intro track is one of the best in the genre.
One thing I could say about this tune is that it brings the RIFFS! The numerous catchy riffs are what is clearly central to this song. In a sense, this song feels like a locomotive, it's constantly in motion and maintains a certain rhythm even when it changes the tempo and even the time signature. The vocals really work well to keep you grooving, and the rhythm section ties it all together.
