After leaving Deep Purple, Rod went on to form Captain Beyond, along with former Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell, former Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman and guitarist Rhino (Larry Reinhardt), who also was part of the last incarnation of the Butterfly. This band proved to be very influential, but sales never reflected their musical achievements. Someone also called them sci-fi rock, but anyway their first self-titled album became a rarity, because it was only distributed by Capricorn records, a small label from Macon, Georgia, who also held the Allman Brothers Band at the time. Lack of commercial success ended the group after three albums. This article is about the rock band. ...

Evans left Captain Beyond and the music business after their first two albums. He then became a director of respiratory therapy at a West American hospital until 1980 when he was approached by a management company which specialized in questionably reformed bands with big names, and began to tour under the Deep Purple name with a bunch of unknown session musicians.

Following the incident, Evans left the music business again, and has remained reclusive ever since. His current whereabouts are of much interest to many Deep Purple fans.
