I've always enjoyed finding tunes from acts before they were famous or went solo and got their big break. There's a lot of great early recording of artists with other bands, sometimes playing totally different music than they're now known for. I'm sure you'll recognize these artists.
The first time I ever heard Rod Stewart was with a mid 60's band called Steampacket , along with Long John Baldry.They were together for a couple of years, before Jeff Beck hired Stewart to be the vocalist in the Jeff Beck Group. They did a classic album called " Truth " and this is my favorite cut on that album, " Rock My Plimsoul ". It still rocks after all these years.
Foghat was formed by members of two bands. Lonesome Dave Peverett, Tony Stevens, and Roger Earl from Savoy Brown. They were joined by Rod Price from Black Cat Bones. Rod's signature slide work can be seen on this cut from Black Cat Bones only studio album.
Sammy Hagar first came to prominence as vocalist for Montrose. They did some great rocking tunes in the early to mid 70's.
Peter Frampton started out with Humble Pie along with Stevie Marriott . Here's a clip of Frampton playing some mighty fine guitar licks on " Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake " ( He's wearing the green shirt )
