Captain Beyond is an American rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles in 1971. Consisting of former Deep Purple singer Rod Evans, former Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell, former Iron Butterfly guitarist Larry Reinhardt, and former Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman, the band developed an eclectic style that blended hard rock, progressive rock, jazz fusion, and space rock. They released three albums between 1972 and 1977. The band faced significant difficulties from the outset, including lawsuits involving Evans, Reinhardt and Dorman and their former bands, as well as disagreements with their record label, Capricorn Records, over musical direction. Although the musicians performed well together, internal relationships were often strained. Rod Evans, in particular, left and rejoined the band several times beginning in 1971, eventually departing permanently in late 1973 after the release of their second album.

The original Captain Beyond lineup included former Deep Purple singer Rod Evans, former Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell, former Iron Butterfly guitarist Larry “Rhino” Reinhardt, and former Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman, along with keyboardist Lewie Gold. Gold left for personal reasons before the first album was recorded. The remaining members recorded the self‑titled debut album, released in 1972 by Capricorn Records, a Macon, Georgia‑based independent label best known for developing Southern rock acts such as The Allman Brothers Band and Wet Willie.
