Rare Earth

Rare Earth has been an established name in the music industry for over 
two decades, and they are still performing with the same unique and 
recognizable sound that has always been their own!! Exciting... Incredible... Sensational...all adjectives describing a Rare Earth concert...consistently living up to your every expectation. Among the talented performers in Rare Earth are ORIGINAL members. Gil Bridges, sax, flute, lead vocals; Also Ray Monette, guitar, vocals; Randy Burghdoff, bass guitar, vocals; Rick Warner, keyboards, vocals; and 
Floyd Stokes, drums, lead vocals. These individuals guarantee the 
audience an evening of the greatest musicianship and singing ever to be 
heard! Needless to say, everyone walks away excited and with the warm 
feeling that they have gotten their money’s worth. It is truly an exhilarating experience! 

Recently, Rare Earth decided to tour again - much to the applause of their many fans across the country. Rare Earth has their audiences up and out of their seats dancing and singing along with their million selling classics such as “Get Ready”, “Hey Big Brother”, “Losing You”, “Born To Wander”, and “I Just Want To Celebrate” creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the Madison Square Garden Concert in 1970, the Atlantic 
Pop Festival in 1971 or the California Jam which was one of their most memorable concerts broadcast nationally in 1974. Rare Earth has an amazing track record of over 3,000 concerts with such performances as the Ed Sullivan Show, The David Frost Show, Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert. Rare Earth performed on the very first Midnight Special where the set the precedent in performing live instead of lip synchronization to a record. They have been asked 
back a total of three times by the producers of Midnight Special. Rare 
Earth - definitely crowd pleasers! 

They have performed with Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, and Ike 
and Tina Turner. Some acts that have opened a Rare Earth concert are 
Earth, Wind and Fire, Steely Dan, and the Doobie Brothers. Among those 
activities, including performances in Alaska, Hawaii and a concert tour 
of South America, they were commissioned to do the title song of the 
movie “Generation” starring Kim Darby and David Jansen. Out of the nine 
albums released by Rare Earth, two have gone Double Platinum (“Get 
Ready” and “Rare Earth in Concert”); one Platinum (“One World”); and 
three Gold (“Ecology”, “Willie Remembers”, and “Ma”) along with several 
million selling singles. The group tours Europe annually with rave 
reviews. In 1994 they released their first studio recorded album in 17 
years called Different World on the Koch Intl. label. Rare Earth has 
always been the “People’s Band” and the thirst for performing for a live 
audience has brought them back to touring the country - performing WITH 
the audience, not at them. Rare Earth is great! At the climax of their 
show, the audience is always on their feet - some of those feet on 
chairs and tables - with the audience demanding an encore, which is 
always acknowledged with another show stopping “million seller” by the 
incomparable Rare Earth.
