• 2010-01-20: RIP Liberty. Bad news from the Spirit mailing list (this was posted by Bruce Pates): "I'm sorry to report the passing of SPIRIT and Randy California Band bassist Steve "Liberty" Loria. Liberty played in the first Randy California Band in 1979, and then in SPIRIT from 1980 - 1982. In the later years, he reconnected with the band for recording and live performances. He was the last bass player in the band in 1996, and had planned to tour with SPIRIT on the 1997 European tour that was canceled due to the death of Randy California. If I hear any more details, I will post them."
