Rare Earth guarantees 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 they set the precedent in performing live instead of lip synchronization to a record. They were asked back a total of three times by the producers of Midnight Special. Rare Earth - definitely crowd pleasers!
Rare Earth has 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, Rare Earth was commissioned to do the title song of the movie "Generation" starring Kim Darby and David Jansen.
Out of the nine albums release 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. Rare Earth tours Europe annually with rave reviews. In 1994, Rare Earth released their first studio recorded album in 17 years called "Different World" on the Koch Int 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 has been an established name in the music industry for over two decades,and now they are back performing with the same unique and recognizable sound that has always been their own!
