In 1970, Eric Turner grew into a more progressive form of rock music after a split from The Tropics, so together with Charlie Souza and Bill Peterson, BACCHUS was born. After many record releases, they were the opening act for GRAND FUNK, FREE, LYNNRD SKYNNRD, BB KING, CACTUS, THE OUTLAWS, REDBONE, EDGAR WINTER, and TED NUGENT. The band went on the USO Tour in Puerto Rico and then had the honor to open a Florida concert for MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, Bacchus also appeared on the free stage at the Atlanta Pop Festival just before Grand Funk Railroad on the main stage. It was a pleasure speaking to the guys in this full band episode! We talk about their humble beginnings as eager musicians waiting to take over the world, the many records Bacchus throughout the 70's and much more. Kick back, dim the lights, and take a ride.
