Colosseum - Live 1971 /Legendary Album

reup .. 'Colosseum Live' is an album which should have a place in every prog music collection. Only one thing is better - to see them live ...00:00 Rope Ladder to the Moon ( 9:43 ) 09:43 Walking in the Park ( 8:21 ) 18:04 Skelington ( 14:52 ) 32:56 I Can not Live Without You ( 7:28 )40:24 Tanglewood '63 ( 10:12 ) 50:36 Stormy Monday ( 7:29 ) 58:06 Lost Angeles ( 15:43 ) - Chris Farlow / Vocals - Dave Greenslade / organ, keyboards, vibraphone - Mark Clarke / bass, vocals - Dave "Clem" Clempson / guitar, vocals - Dick Heckstall-Smith / saxophone, Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor) - Jon Hiseman / drums, producer and Legendary excellent live album from 1971 COLOSSEUM converts songs into Blues Jazz Rock and a singularly way. Somebody might remark that 'Valentyn Suite' is missing. Not important for me. The musicians are in good condition and enjoy their performance. The songs are differing to the studio version because they are more powerful and the band is jamming a lot. I saw them live during their reunion tour in 1994 and it was also fabulous. The first song 'Rope Ladder to the Moon' is fantastic. The deep bluesy voice of Chris Farlow is this remark. Mark Clarke reminds me at Jack Bruce. Dave Greenslade has a very unique and jazzy way to play the keys.'Walking in the Park' is a blues classic written by Graham Bond who played with Jon Hiseman for a while. The track contains an exciting vocal duel between Farlows and ?? - I'm crazy but it sure must be Mark Clarke. He 'Skelington' - not available on Studio releases - Dave Clempson offers an outstanding solo and meets Jimi Hendrix in Woodstock - and Farlows yodels - wow! Earthquake and smog are driving me out of town - oh, get me away from Los Angeles - it seems they do not have made ​​good experiences with this American town. They compensate it musically with a special psychedelic touch. And the 'Lost Angeles "for me is absolutely the highlight - excellent vibraphone, Jon Hiseman and best form.
