Firefall was a great band...a supergroup, really...made up of guys who'd already been in nationally (and some cases INTERnationally) successful bands.
Rick Roberts (took Gram Parsons' place in the Flying Burrito Bros)
Michael Clarke (original drummer for both The Byrds & Burrito Bros)
Mark Andes (original bass player for Spirit & Jo-Jo Gunne...later became bass player for Heart)
Jock Bartley (took Tommy Bolin's place as lead guitarist for Zephyr when Bolin left to join Deep Purple...toured in ex-Byrd/Burrito Chris Hillman's backup band with Clarke & Roberts during Firefall's early formation stage)
Larry Burnett is the only one who had his first national success with Firefall.
