Dick Hexstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman played with John Mayall on the Bare Wires lp. To this day I thought it was one of his best, Then Dick and Jon played on Jack Bruce's album Songs For A Tailor. Neither one of them appeared on the song " Rope And Ladder To The Moon ". They really doug the song and may have felt slighted they didn't play on it. They really kicked ass on it on the live album.
A friend challenged me way back in 1973 to go out and buy a great album. I listened to Colosseum Live on the hand held headphones, they had then, on the counter in the record shop. It blew me away then and it still does now. Listening to 'Skelington', I am back in my bedsit in the 70's.
got to know Colosseum from Jack Bruce, Hexstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman played on his Songs for a Tailor album in 1969, then I got their first album, which was called "Those About to Die Salute You", a very good debut album from the group, fell in love with Dave Greenslade's keyboard playing, on this song you can see why I did. Great underrated band!!
bluesmanronchicago you are wright,this is from the seventies.I miss this band in 1977 in Belgium Bilzen festival.Was to drunk and went back to my tent.Still regret this.
@sayanja actually this is from the seventies, came out in 1972 and was recorded during their 71 tour. great organ work from greenslade, originally was on the studio album called Valentine Suite, had different vocalist on studio version, James Litherland was not with band on the tour
I discovered Colosseum when they first started touring and saw them perform Valentyne Suite with the NYJ Orchestra @ the Fairfield Halls, Croydon. They were fantastic. I bought all their albums and the subsequent CD's. Dick Heckstall-Smith was a genius sax player. Dave Greenslade's organ was a delight to hear. getting Chris Farlowe in the band to do the vocals was the icing on the cake. For virgin Colosseum listeners, get Colosseum Live. A brilliant album. A top dollar band !!!

I watched my friends girlfriend undress to this music whilst we were all tripping 25 years ago, i can see her smooth breasts now, in the shadows, tummy, and crotch, inner thigh, knee, buttock, standing like a statue, shining, her arm streatching towards Cuthbert, that lucky bastard.as she lef the room with Cuthy, Simon put his hand on my leg, it was warm , it was the best i was going to get that night.
...no question- this piece made me who i am today ( for good, or for bad). the best suite ever made. everything in it is not to be changed- perfect? yes. i did not understand English then ( only Polish, Russian), but it did not mattered. thanks to things like that it is worth to live here- on Earth.
Ho ancora il vecchio vinile originale oltre ad altri,incredibile la loro musica possente come il nome appropriato del gruppo,penso che la musica migliore mai prodotta sia proprio di quegli anni oggi c'e' solo merda e non credo di essere cosi' vecchio per poter dire questo.
@rudi1957 I'm a freak of sorts as i was a fan of diverse rock music by the age of 7 !! This is because i had a brother 10 years older who used to buy and borrow all the latest stuff by Cream,Pink Floyd,Moody Blues,Blodwyn Pig etc etc and play it to me !! I was already a Beatles fanatic before that and by the time i was 8 i wanted to be taken to the city record shops that had the best stuff with my pocket money savings to get Atom Heart Mother, Roy Harper, Hendrix, ELP etc ; what a child freak !!
if you dont like farlowe's singing you dont have taste. it's one of the few rocksingers who really can SING. thats the reason people dont like it: you are used to rocksingers who CANT sing!!! ( except robert plant).....hey whats that???? "He really can sing!!!!!"
i dont like a lot of rockgroups because i hate their singing.!!!!! (ac/dc!!! rush!!!!)
good crew, good song. Cannot find that Farlowe was trying too hard. He makes a good job here (listen to the dialogue between the guitar and Farlowe). Other songs on this LP confirm this. Simply, listen to it...
@543desv Colosseum had great musicians, like Jon Hiseman, Dave Greenslade, Dick Hextall-Smith, but unfortunately they never had a good lead vocalist, Farlowe's vocals are way too forced, he tries too hard to sound cool and it comes out very bad on almost all his lead singing, too bad, with a good singer Colosseum would have had much more acclaim
Dear, i was in live concerts with Chris Farlow. He is a Pearl in Rock Hystory. I just can tell you, you have no respect at all, because you are e reale ignorat M....f.....r!
@oraldesign JUST AN OPINION, ON THE STUDIO VERSION OF LOST ANGELES, JAMES LITHERLAND DID A GOOD JOB ON VOCALS, I PREFER HIS SINGING TO FARLOWE'S, DOES NOT MAKE ME IGNORANT.
I bought this record when it came out, loved it ever since and play it regularly. Never had any problems with Farlowes voice, But hey, there are people who like to discuss the amount of angels on a pinhead.....
@tjasker I BOUGHT IT TOO, AND I LOVE THE SONG LOST ANGELES. THE ORGAN INTRO REALLY MAKES THIS VERSION. ON THE VALENTYNE SUITE ALBUM, ALSO LOVED THE TUNE ELEGY, CHECK IT OUT SOMETIME, IT'S POSTED OUT HERE AS WELL.
@kayctusunderground got turned on to colosseum back in 1969, really liked the album "those who are about to die salute you" especially the track Walking in the Park, and The Kettle
@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO I bought this record when it came out, loved it ever since and play it regularly. Never had any problems with Farlowes voice, But hey, there are people who like to discuss the amount of angels on a pinhead.....
@juvi65 mucho gusto tengo el album desde que salio en 1972 tenia 18 years y sienpre cuando hago mis compilationes nunca falta tiene una calidad de sonido excelente para aquellos que pudieron verlos en la propia epoca en el lugar que se encuentren va mi abrazo y para aquellos que disfrutan de esta clase de musica felicitaciones
I bought this album when i was 15 or 16. I remember that i walked into the shop and looked around for a long time but could not decide what to buy. Another one of the Stones, maybe Lou reed or Bowie or Zappa. I had so much of them already. I saw this Album and bought it without listening to it. I had never heard of Colosseum before. I just liked the cover and it was a double live.
Man, I played it so often. Especially Dave Greenslade on the organ.
@poes3000 I remember having the same dilemma many a time including when i saw this album myself around 1971 at a good city record shop,where you had to go to get the good stuff,you know.I didnt buy this though,i bought ELP first album i think on that occasion and overlooked this on other occaisons too ! Would you clarify if the original was a double album ?, as the track listings for the cd seem to have too few for a double and too many for a single
@kenfig One of these days i go down to my totally full shed and look for the album. It must be there. I remember it as a double cause live albums are mosty that. Anyway, you can be right.. On the cd there is a bonus track of 7.28 by James Litherland on it called I Can't Live Without You.
@poes3000 I was also 15 when this album came out...I remember the sleeves being clear plastic with some kind of foam strip which I think was supposed to clean the vinyl as you took it out of the sleeve...bizarre..! Anyway, I absolutely played it to death on my record player up in my bedroom..it is just a fantastic set by masterful musicians...and this track is just brilliant...happy memories...
one of the best live intros into a very unique and explosive song that Collosseum did, an overlooked band of great musicians, which included dave greenslade, jon hiseman and dick hextall smith
LA is ugly.. very ugly. Its like big machine,.. although the smog gone away, still earth quicks, gangs, crowded freeways, fire, everything artificial and plastic, rough people, skidraw, homless, rouhg cups, etc...! I did a lot of traveling and found that the people are what makes a city good or bad. People who lived in LA, will never know these facts, and will never accept it!.
My dad loves these and so do I . He said all the geeks liked them back in the 70s but I think theyre so cool now and so do a lot of pity.I think Portishead were heavily influenced by them xx
yeah! you guys missed out. Thank the Lord I grew up in the 70's, this 'ere was me fav band, knew em all, great guys,used to roadie for them when they came to town. True gentlemen.
Höre es jedes Jahr wieder auf einer ganz bestimmten Fete.... Ist für mich eines der besten Jazz-Rock-Stücke überhaupt, bin heute noch froh darüber die Gruppe und damit diesen Titel live gehört zu haben ....
hey muckbluvid,you dude,the numner IS bombastic and farlowe´s voice suits very welll with this number. when you have a sound like clem ,you need a singer like farlowe!!! otherwise the singer would have been blown of the stage, GOT IT!!!!!!????? Bruce wanted to be to sing like Chris.!!! Farlow is a graet singer !!! and performer!!! A real singer!!
The singer is Chris Farlowe, admittedly and universally accepted one of the best vocalists in rock history ever - you need to work on your taste, mate.
Still remember Jon Hiseman doing a 20-30 drum solo in the Casino in Bern switzerland, Still is allways a lifetime pleasure seeing a live gig with Chris Farlowe too.
One of my best rememberances youth, ahead of going to parties, we would allways listen to Collosseum Live, espesiially Scarlington, what a saxophone climax!!!
wir schrieben das Jahr 1974. Ich in meinem Keller,Ich habe die platte geliehen bekommen als ich 16 Jahre war-da hatte ich keine Boxen- ich habe die platte auf einem Plattenspieler abgespielt- ohne Boxen- bin mit dem Ohr nahe an die Nadel und habe genossen--- das prägt-- wenn ich die Musik höre kommt alles wieder hoch- das schöne Gefühl- vor 35 Jahren und die Musik ist immer noch meine NUMMER EINS. wenn es mir schlecht geht, lege ich die platte auf und.....es ist gut....
....kommt mir bekannt vor, so ähnlich ging es mir auch, da war ich 17, keine party ohne lost angeles und valentyne suite, manchmal taten es auch cream, chicago, volker kriegel-missing link und soft machine.....
WOW!!! great song!!! Mi Principe Vasco I don't feel lonly no more because I have YOU!!!! I love you and thanks for making me INMORTAL, your sweet Lady SARAMAYA. TE A M O.
Interesting band. I still prefer If; this sounds like rock musicians playing jazz-rock; If sounds like jazz musicians, which they were, playing jazz-rock
es gab ne nacht mit colosseum, hendrix at isle of hite und ravi shankar und bisschen viel acid mit was auch immer, 1972 (?). einer der besten drummer ach die ganze band ist unglaubliches kaliber! hiseman spielt breaks, die ich nirgendwo anders je gehört habe. eingebrannt ins gedächtnis! scheiße: clempson ist der hammer!
i remember hearing that song (besides others)in the very early 70s at the famous german radiostation swf3, at the pop-shop spezial show. Since these teenage-years i love Lost Angeles and of course the briliant Valentyne Suite. Two milestones in rock-history!
Guess I first time met this sing, in 1972. Ever since that, I listened to it for thousands of times, and still think it is one of the greatest pieces of musiv ever written in rock history.
Dick Hexstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman played with John Mayall on the Bare Wires lp. To this day I thought it was one of his best, Then Dick and Jon played on Jack Bruce's album Songs For A Tailor.

And drum master Jon Hiseman is incredible. Such a tremendous influence for today's power progressive drummers. Kudos!

I might have ruined my ears listening to this album a thousand times in the 80s and after. Stil shaking me to tears.

es gab ne nacht mit colosseum, hendrix at isle of hite und ravi shankar und bisschen viel acid mit was auch immer, 1972 (?). einer der besten drummer ach die ganze band ist unglaubliches kaliber! hiseman spielt breaks, die ich nirgendwo anders je gehört habe. eingebrannt ins gedächtnis! scheiße: clempson ist der hammer!

i remember hearing that song (besides others)in the very early 70s at the famous german radiostation swf3, at the pop-shop spezial show. Since these teenage-years i love Lost Angeles and of course the briliant Valentyne Suite. Two milestones in rock-history!

Guess I first time met this sing, in 1972. Ever since that, I listened to it for thousands of times, and still think it is one of the greatest pieces of musiv ever written in rock history.
