That group released Out Through the In Door in More tours followed, and membership continued to revolve, with the most notable departure being Bogert in He was replaced by Pete Bremy , and Vanilla Fudge launched a "Farewell Tour" in , which continued for several years. A studio album, Spirit of '67 , appeared in ; the band described it as their heaviest work to date.

Blues Classical Country. Electronic Folk International. Jazz Latin New Age. Aggressive Bittersweet Druggy. Energetic Happy Hypnotic. Romantic Sad Sentimental. Vince continued to perform, record, teach and host his own radio shows in the tri-state New York area. Vanilla Fudge reunited in and recorded a new album, Mystery, which also had Jeff Beck as a guest artist.
The group currently continues to tour in the USA. The band just returned from The Moody Blues Cruise out of Miami, Florida with 16 other bands, a great time was had by all. We played our second album to some fans we knew. So that was the second Cactus line-up which, was a little more solo-driven and a little less jammy. The album, half of which was recorded live at the famous Mar Y Sol festival in Puerto Rico, showed that the line-up changes had revived Cactus musically.
And by now Jeff Beck had recovered from what had turned out to be a fractured skull and was back on the scene. Keep Cactus together. Stewart may have had his own reasons for trying to dissuade them, but the lure of Jeff Beck was irresistible.
However, that was for Rod to know and for Bogert and Appice to find out. Initially things went well, particularly given the massive expectations surrounding them. We joined The Jeff Beck Group. But it happened anyway. The album went Top 10 everywhere. The band seemed unsure whether to go heavy metal or jazz rock. They also lacked a vocalist to match their visceral power.
We were a jamming band, and every night the jams were different. Patience and professionalism were also required, and that became a problem when Beck disappeared in the middle of their US tour. So he hopped on the next plane and followed her.
Either to finish the argument or to get her back. We had a sold-out gig, the road crew ready, everything. It was ridiculous. Even though they got back together again, the core trust between them was broken irrevocably. A Japanese-only live album was imported around the world. It makes Cream sound like old men. And that was the last time we played. It was gone. I was miserable. So I moved to California and laid back for a couple of years.
In the original Fudge line-up was tempted back for a reunion and a new album. Proffer started telling Vince what guitar parts to play. But Vince refused to play the parts, so we ended up getting some session guy in to do them. Which he did under the name of JB Toad. And that was great. And so Atlantic thought, these guys are still fucked up. And that was the end of that. Probably just as well. Trying to reinvent Vanilla Fudge for the 80s was never going to work. But as Vanilla Fudge they sounded desperate.
But Mark Stein wanted to try and get a deal for his own band so we broke up again. And Appice is always open to offers. And later we decided to play some dates in America. They kept going despite legal hassles from Stein over rights to the name, and in they decided to re-record their hits after Atlantic wanted to charge them silly money to sell their original albums at gigs.
Redoing former glories can be risky, but Returns , released in , proved the sceptics wrong. He thinks he should sing more, take more solos. He wants approval when songs are edited for airplay.
