Colosseum - Lost Angeles 1971

"Lost Angeles" (Dave Greenslade/Dick Heckstall-Smith/Chris Farlowe) -- 15:43

[@michelhille8107]

Chris voice is a tornado, Hurricane, Tsunami, for me the best white blues singer of all time. And now he sing still with 83 years. And Clemnon guitar is incredible. Perhaps the best live album of all time. Greets from Germany ❤🎉

[@nicholasmyers3545]

In those years I saw a lot of gigs. I mean, a lot. Some of them wonderful. But of everyone I saw, these guys, on stage, were simply on another planet. Hiseman, particularly, was a force of nature. But they all went with him. Farlowe, Greenslade, all of them. Proud to say that I was at this, at Manchester Uni. By the way, it was free admission!! This is the version that still gives me goosebumps. I was seventeen then, I'm sixty-nine now. Who knows where the time goes…

The blues turned on it's ear by 6 gifted musicians the likes of which we'll never see again. Still my fave live album to this day.

[@keithfisher8361]

As an eighteen year old drummer with a couple of years of steady gigging under my belt (?) I was totally unprepared for this band playing live at one of my local Unis. I stood down by the front of the stage in open mouthed astonishment from beginning to end; my un-drunk beer going flat in my sweaty grip. To this day, I have never seen, or experienced would be a more appropriate term, a live show of musicianship and ensemble playing such as that, and I had seen a lot of great bands by then, including Hendrix, The Nice, Pink Floyd et al. Jon terrified me, but inspired me beyond imagining and remains one of my lifetime heroes. I played my vinyl until it had no grooves left and replaced it at least twice over the years. I played it to everyone who would sit still, and off my Christmas card list they came if they didn't display ecstasy and exuberance very soon after its beginning. A lot of negative criticism was vomited on musically sophisticated '70s music when the decade entered its second half, with terms like pretentious or pseudo-would-be classical becoming ever more ubiquitous (often from the very critics who had cheerfully drunk the back-stage freebies and obsequiously hob-knobbed with the bands) but class will - as they say - out, and survive the passage of time. Nothing could be a better example than this band and those performances. Thank Heavens it was preserved.

[@madhouze1]

Just found your comment. I was at the front of the audience for both the Manchester Uni gigs when the album was recorded. They played and recorded the scheduled Saturday night gig. Jon was so impressed with the atmosphere that they returned the following Thursday and recorded a free concert for Student Union members only. Dick Heckstall-Smith rather messed up his solo in Tanglewood 69, so when the band came back for the encore Jon asked for our indulgence so they could play it again, and if we gave him a good response they would play Valentyne Suite which by then had been dropped from the set. Dick played it brilliantly second time around. After VS, the crowd wanted another encore. Jon remarked "this is going to be interesting as we haven't a clue what we are going to play". He called out to the band "slow blues in E", they started and Chris started singing the words to Stormy Monday. It was brilliant. In the intro to Stormy Monday at the Freiberg reunion concert, Jon references this incident "at a University in the North of England". For a brief period in rock history, Colosseum were the best live band on the planet. We'll never see the likes of them again. BTW the back of my head appears in one of the photos inside the album cover.

Love your comment and story. I had only one record from Colosseum II, Strange new flesh, I loved it. It is music, I think you got to know when you are young

[@chrisriches4688]

I was lucky to see all flavours of Colosseum, the first one with the excellent James Litherland on guitar and vocals. Then I saw Colosseum 2 with Gary Moore and Don Airey. Around 1997 I saw the classic lineup in Cardiff - I invited an American friend with me he was dazzled by their performance. I saw them again, twice in Graz, in Worcester and finally at the Jon Hiseman Memorial at the Shepherds Bush O2. What a show that was. Clempson, Litherland, a cello (from the Variations set) Don Airey, Chris Farlowe and a rather ill Barbara Thomson spoke to us (she died earlier this year) What a fantastic legacy

I was at one of their first London gigs at The Marquee, John Mayall, whose band Dick Heckstall-Smith, Jon Hiseman and Tony Reeves, had recently left got up and did several numbers with them. It was the first of many memorable nights listening to this great band, I was fortunate to have seen and heard most incarnations they went through. This period, for me, was the absolute apogee of their career, they undoubtedly became even more polished and professional after reforming, but the power of the vocals and the dynamism of all the instrumentalists, was at it's peak at the time of this recording. Unfortunately, both Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman, are now plying their trade in the massed bands of Heaven, but we still have these fabulous recordings to listen to. R.I.P., Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman.

After this the rock was no more a moment in the history of music but a part of it
