Saw Collosseum on theier FIRST concert after over 20 years at Freiburg ZMF, man, it was like being in a film, all the stuff we heard drifting in space when kids, they were great and found the spirit after a while. Tent was cooking... Valentine Suite as such great parts in it
You're looking at one of the great drummers of all time. I saw this group in '70, and I remember how easy Hiseman made his solos look, and I'd seen both Baker and Mitchell before, and I thought he was better than either, as great as the other two were.
used to jam along to this album at 15 years of age in a friends bedroom.My two friend nick and pete .. we had 2 electric guitares a violin - electric piono and ecoustic guitar - everything on full volume - A selmer amp ans variouse improvised speakers made from radio sets.Sometimes nicks elder brother or 2 elder sisters would crane there heads around the door to see what was going on. Happy days...
THANKS!! Wow. I was 17 and ahalf the summer of 69 and the album Valentyne Suite made me and my friends, for the first time, really listen to... some kind of... jazz.. (?)
@NeilThompson30 as a fan of both which band was more complex in your opinion? im not going to bash either cause im getting into their music....just wanted your opinion
@theachtungtree - it's hard to say - as I said - I love both bands - I think the most consistent is Colosseum because Purple did have a lot of fillers on their albums as well as classics - whereas Colosseum didn't do fillers - plus I was the one that bought the Colosseum records when I was a kid - and my older brother bought the Purple ones - I played both sides of the Walking in the park single to death when I was a kid - all the best.
@NeilThompson30 great...i love points of views, i'm doing this collection of memories from people and the bands they love, i will totally make a book out of that, specially with people like you who ived those awesome AWESOME times
Great band. This is their instrumental masterpiece. Timeless.

Yet another interesting band I never heard of before. I was poking around in Wikipedia and thought I'd have a look on the Tube. Great stuff here.

With their energy and musicianship, one of the best groups of their era. And they still shine today.
