It's a different version of a masterpiece. For all anyone else here knows, Jack Bruce may like it, and Felix Pappalardi may have liked someone performing it differently. Thats the great thing about music. When someone performs a song you wrote, or played so well, it's like a tribute or an acknowledgment of the greatness. There was a strong felling in the performance. If you don't like the vocals, listen to the music had some great power and emotion to it. Just my opinion guys. RIP F. Pappalardi.

Just read Jack Bruce's biography by Harry Shapiro. He certainly did rate Colosseum & wanted Jon Hiseman and Dick Heckstall-Smith to tour with him after they recorded the original "theme" with him on 'Songs For A Taylor'. He clearly had much respect for both of them & worked with them many times afterwards.

He describes Clem Clempson as 'One of his favourite guitarists' - page 225 if anyone wants to check the quote- and let's face it, Jack Bruce has played with a few guitarists!

I can not describe my feelings while listening to this performance. This is just pure awesomeness.

'Interesting' performance. Middle aged man in a Karoke bar in east London. Mind you he looks like one of the East End mobs, so 'sublimley great performance Mister Farlowe...can I please have my wife back now???'.

@surfandyoga the stones had their publishing ripped off by their manager i cant think of his name right now so they dont get any radio performance royaltys thats why they have to keep working

[surfandyoga]

@spacepatrolman The stones ripped everyone off. Nicky Hopkins and Mick Taylor wrote heaps of songs but they just put the out as 'Jagger Richards'. Even Mariane Faithful complained that she wrote the words to Sister Morfine but wasn't given credit. They later changed it to includer her name.

Thanks for posting! Great to hear Chris Farlowe. Loved his work with Atomic Rooster and later with Jimmy Page. A true British blues singer of the highest order.

Looks like a bad impression of Elvis to me.

Is Clem and Zal the same guy? Zal Clemson is one of my favorite guitarists (The Sensational Alex Harvey Band; Nazareth).
