This is Peter Rivera, the original lead singer and drummer of Rare Earth. I got to see him perform live down in Jackson, Tennessee at the Caravan of Stars 31 concert. He can sure electrify a crowd and he drums and sings just as great as ever.

This past Saturday night, I was able to see the original lead singer/drummer of Rare Earth in concert not too far from where I live. The Caravan of Stars 31 concert was held in Jackson, Tennessee, about 4 and a half hours from my house, so it's a great little weekend trip. The radio station that holds these concerts, KOOL 103 has a tie-in with a local hotel and you get a great rate by booking there. Plus, all the stars stay there, too! Peter Rivera was the original drummer, who also sang lead for the group and he is still one of the most powerful drummers and vocalists in rock and roll today - he got the crowd to dancing and singing along. Even I had to sing along when he had the crowd to sing to "I Just Want To Celebrate." This is one of the 45 r.p.m. records in my collections. Next time I see him, I should get him to autograph it.
