|---|
The Electric Flag, formed in 1967, were a blues rock group led by guitarist Mike Bloomfield and featuring multi-instrumental blues legend Al Kooper and Stephen Stills of CSNY fame. Bloomfield formed Electric Flag after his stint with The Butterfield Blues Band. The reached their peak with their late 1960 releases, which charted well in the Billboard magazine Pop Albums listings.
History
The group was contemporaneous with the earliest formation of Blood Sweat and Tears with Al Kooper. By 1969, the Flag had broken up and Kooper left BS&T, leading to the Super Session album with Kooper, Bloomfield and Stephen Stills. Bloomfield and Kooper also toured together, while drummer and vocalist Buddy Miles played in Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys. Richie Havens also contributed on their first album "Electric Flag."
The Electric Flag song "Flash, Bam, Pow" appears in the bridge sequence of the movie Easy Rider (1969), with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson.
