Colosseum "Live At Montreux 1969" Available on CD/DVD & Vinyl

Colosseum’s only performance at the prestigious Montreux Rose D’Or festival presented in superior quality by Eroc.
Captured on camera and in superior audio during their first year of existence, Colosseum must have made a great impression at Montreux in 1969. Having played at the Rose d’Or TV Festival in the April, they were invited back for the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival the same year. Using the official Swiss TV archives’ footage and audio, remastered in its original form for the first time, this CD and DVD set shows the first line-up of the band at its finest, including a poolside scene performance, which culminated in a topless Dick Heckstall-Smith diving in to cool down!

Today - finally! - the CD/DVD was in my mailbox 🙂 A must for all Colosseum fans and chroniclers like me. Eroc has preserved the best possible sound, at least significantly better than the previously known and available versions. For real fans it's worth buying just for "Mandarin At The Pool", what a find! In addition a nice booklet, text as so often by Chris Welch. Thank you Chris, thank you Eroc, thank you Repertoire!!! Actually, the only question that remains is why James Litherland sang "Butty's Blues" in Montreux with different lyrics than on all other known recordings. Will I ever find out?

Großartig! Der Auftritt in Montreux 1969 ist zwar bekannt und auch bereits seit einiger Zeit in recht guter Qualität ("remastered") hier in yt verfügbar, aber es neu abgemischt auf Platte zu verewigen, ist natürlich noch mal eine ganz andere Hausnummer (fast wie eine Wolkenreise, sorry Eroc für den Kalauer, wir kommen aus derselben Ecke Westfalens 🙂). Die Bilder draußen am Wasser habe ich auch noch nie gesehen! Als Allzeit-Colosseum-Fan kann ich nur DANKE sagen an alle, die beteiligt waren!!! Great! The performance in Montreux 1969 is well known and has been available here in yt for some time in quite good quality ("remastered"), but immortalizing it remixed on record is of course a completely different matter (almost like a journey to the clouds , sorry Eroc for the joke, we come from the same corner of Westphalia 🙂). I've never seen the pictures outside by the water either! As an all time Colosseum fan I can only say THANK YOU to everyone who was involved!!!
