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.

Great to hear it again ( and again )

3 persone non capiscono un cazzo. Un dei più bei momenti nella storia della musica.

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!!

Yawn! Middle-brow bombast. Organ is interesting for a little while though. And C's first two lp's were verrrrry good!

Muck man got it about right. Middle-brow bombast ain't everybody's thing.
