[roccuntrybluefunky]

I saw these guy's in the late 70"s they opened up for Krokus and Head East,I still have the ticket stub 6.50 to see all 3 bands

[dano5670]

love this

[ufricchetton]

it was my first vinyl when i was 16...

[DBZ5371]

Exactly. The finest vocalist, even today.

[Transterra55]

Dave Holland explored the space with the cowbell....

[jugheadmcanus]

@Transterra55 and then he explored the butthole space of young boys with his bell-end

[MrRobangelo]

I saw trapeze at the Roundhouse, London, in '72..............amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet David Coverdale did'nt realise what was go'in on when Glenn Hughes joined 'Purple..........

[DBZ5371]

@MrRobangelo Glenn was already in the band. Purple were still auditioning to find Coverdale.

[MrRobangelo]

@DBZ5371 who needs Coverdale when you've got Glenn Hughes !!!!!!

[TheOlderangel]

4 people that never saw a cloud

[dezcleugh]

the best band ever i ever c eed at g'd sutton in ash

[ishtochituklo]

Wichita Falls, Texas in 72 or 73. I can't remember who Trapeze opened for that night cuz they stole the freakin show.

[51Spector]

@ishtochituklo I think I was there too. White Witch , and Bugs Henderson also played that night, if I'm not mistaken. Trapeze was the better band that night.

[MrHroark]

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys live in concert 2x....one word: INCREDIBLE.

Bass guitar played like a lead.

How they considered themselves a starter band for the members to move to something big was a mystery to me.

THEY WERE THAT SOMETHING ELSE.

[HD21602]

Yep I remember this song well. Had the 8 track played the hell out of it and everybody I was nuts, I think I was a step ahead. Rock ON!!!!!!!!

[nevadasmith38]

Thanksgiving 73 with Uriah Heep who played first ,half the crowd left they came on said they didn't know if they could follow such an act .They started to play as they say , the rest is history .

[keysB3P]

@StevenRodriguez1992 They don't know what real and great rock is thats all.

[thyme4dave]

LIve, Cotton Bowl 76.

[bil4doe]

LIVE, Beaumont City Auditorium 1977 Beaumont ,Texas. w/ Black Oak Arkansas Should have been there!

[fortheloveoftunes]

[fortheloveoftunes]

@THRASHFKINFILLETS Yeap dude

[jeffie131]

Had this on vinyl and copied to casette and played it in my panel truck on the way to class as my wake up tune back in '71...Thanks for sparkin' my memory!!!

[niffelhem000]

sounds like nazareth



[MrJeremyTX]

love it!!!!

[xxpervysagexx1]

I was in Third grade and my friend and I brought our "older brothers" albums to class for free time we'd listen to real Rock and Roll

[radiokacy]

I was around 4 or 5 years old when this came out so I didn't discover it until I was much older. Great, great song! Thanks!

[xxpervysagexx1]

what a song.

[msglimmertwin52]

the singer, glenn hughes, sounds so much like steve marriott (small faces, humble pie)..i still have this album in vinyl.

[incutat]

love this song....takes me back!

[Buelligan88]

A great blast from my past. Love it!

[chaslmbo]

p.s. lennyscool is 100% about listening to coast to coast.

[chrisjewett63]

@chaslmbo right on,right on! I was 11 yrs old when i was turned on tu that beautiful song!!! I am 48  thankx to Joe Anthony&LouRoney SA TX Chris J

[chaslmbo]

vinyl forever. have Final Swing on vinyl. Nothing sounds better.

[marcsprint]

I just think this song amazing, pure Hard, classic.

[dramaticcarmen]

I used to cover this one with my band "Jet" in the Ozarks back in the early 80's...a real classic blues/rock track.....alot of fun to belt out these vocals for sure

[CaptAntiGravity]

This is the ONLY way to Fly indeed!!!

[daved57]

One of the most memorable nights of my life was seeing this trio at Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach, FL back in the early 70's. I saw them there 2 times but the first concert was just such a massive experience! God bless Trapeze. R.I.P. Mel.

[drewbeedo11]

i got to see these guys at the buckhead roxy in atlanta, ga (my home town) a few years back maybe 10 or so! one of the best shows i've ever seen and i'm an old fart rocker from way back! got all of their old stuff on vinyl and they sounded better then than they did way back when! fuckin awesome show! what happened to this country and their taste in music! we all get a little older but WTF! rock and roll will never DIIEEEE!!!!!!

[1959miche]

Best band of all times!!!

[opgguard]

one of the first bands I ever saw live in Texas early 70's Thanks for the great memories

[sfloyd909]

saw them in Evansville Indiana circa 1974 some idiot threw a wine bottle and hit the mike stand. end of concert. EVANSVILLE PEOPLE STILL SUCK !!

[SEAMOKTactical]

A great Band.....many of midnight rides with my boys...cold duck iced with the Wiedeman...left handed cigs passing to and fro...Charger flying high.....back roads..hot chicks..keggers...and the lake..oh the fuckin lake...good times!

[jester782]

most folks have no clue who they are. poor ppl. awesome band. medusa was their best piece.

[stage462]

Awesome !! Hughes keeps suprizing me !

[notmemate]

I found some old Trapeze Lps in a junk shop for fifty cents each in 1982- best damn two bucks I ever spent.

[BohemianConspiracy]

Here they were clearly influenced by Humble Pie and the "fire and water" album by Free...

i like the previous album... but warning it's not for everyone... their very first album was with a 5 men's line-up and released just a few months before this one...it is much less heavy and 70s hard rock oriented...

[tazmankb26]

The Medusa album still stands the test of time. Just plain old good straightforward hard rock. Check out Glenn Hughes latest collaboration with Jason Bonham and Joe Bonamassa- its called Black Country Communion

[lennyscool]

thanks for sharing these trapeze tracks with us and im glad to see they are not totally forgotten a great band and if you like this track please please listen to coast to coast by them its a classic, i must go and get a copy of this album, yes young people an album made of real plastic with grooves and a cardboard cover.

[UnknownCrypt]

@lennyscool If we young people are here listening to this track my guess is we aren't completely clueless. ;).

[lennyscool]

@UnknownCrypt sorry unknown crypt i was not saying anybody was clusess, it was you who used that word, i was just pointing out to the younger generation that music has not always been on cd and downloads ect and that it was once on plastic with nice covers that you could sit and read while listening to the music.

well done to you for being on here anyway.

[UnknownCrypt]

@lennyscool It's all good man I wasn't taking offense.

[lennyscool]

@UnknownCrypt good to hear,nice one pal, music is the message and always will be.

[charlyblues]

@lennyscool

young people are still buying records. But not many, that's true..

Before youtube a record was more personal though, it was you , the record and your imagination..and if you ig the record a lot, you couldnt wait to tell somebody about the greatness of the record..in person..not via comments.. i miss the pre internet days.

[IntoAbandon]

@lennyscool records are made out of shellac or vinyl , not plastic fyi

[skbricker]

Been Listening For Years- Thanks For Posting, Did'nt Know Anyone Else Cared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheHeadlinerBand]

I grew up playin a lot of their songs.

Medusa is still one of the hotest albums of all time.

[yourunclehank1]

Snakes will grow out of your head like

[MrRobangelo]

[stealhunt1]

[fnpoovey]

[WTFCANUDU]

[egyptianminor]

Chris Robinson - The Black Crows -probably wore this LP out.

[egyptianminor]

Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes ,probably wore this LP out

[genxxxersize]

Medusa is an awesome album huh! :o)

[Kathi50]

I feel old. Used to make-out in the back seat to this song.

[genxxxersize]

@Kathi50 make- out, hehee, does anyone use those words anymore? :o)

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

The LP Medusa was a favorite of my crowd the school year of 74/75. We loved the entire LP and it helped us, along with many other great LP's, to while away the misty Georgia days. Wow. 35 years. Can't believe it. Great song.

[init4mojo]

Nothing 2 say but YES!

[tmage01]

This song satisfied my cowbell addiction rather nicely.

[MrSid32007able]

this band rocks

[ceeceerider]

Part of the soundtrack of my life. :) Great song.

[wayheavy]

Amen!

[init4mojo]

@ceeceerider

So right, what a great way 2 put it

[genxxxersize]

@ceeceerider hey, "sound track of our lives" aint a bad band either! :o)
