[QUOTE="Motorik, post: 6936, member: 162"] Famous (kind of) for the ripoff Led Zeppelin made of them for Stairway to Heaven, Spirit is a Los Angeles psychedelic band formed in 1967. Their members are Randy California (which was a pupil of Jimi Hendrix. In fact, he gave him the artistic name California. His real name is Randy Wolfe) on guitar, Ed Cassidy (California's Stepfather) on drums, Jay Ferguson on voice, John Locke (yes, as the philosopher) on keyboars and Mark Andes on bass.
