Saw this played a few times live at Croydon Greyhound McCullough would normally end this by breaking a stick on the very last cymbal crash it was amazing !!
hmm I love the compositions on the Greenslade debut. The melodies are great and the ideas, musicianship and vocals are first class prog imo. I never heard much melody from Crimson though. Just experimental jamming. When it comes to making songs I only like their slow tunes plus the occassional upbeat track such as 21st century, pictures of a city, catfood and red. Sinfield era is my fave
Of those 5 albums Close to the edge I'd say. Never been a huge fan of In the court but it's pretty solid. Selling England and Red are pretty good although not my favourites. Time and tide is solid but the weakest of Greenslades 70s albums. I'd take Greenslades debut over al of the above :)
1972-76 greenslade are better than 1970-74 genesis to my ears. They are probably as good as 1970-74 Yes too. Getting a bit tired over the Crimson, Yes, Genesis love affair at prog forums. There were better prog bands in the 70s than those 3
They played in Lund, Sweden '75, GREAT concert!

Oh, I am sorry, but especially the first 2 Greenslade LPs I always found disappointing, too much weak sections, interesting but not fulfilling...,
-- this saying as being a Colosseum and KingCrimson-Fan from the beginning.
For me Greenslade needed ~2 years until they really delivered the fruits, as we hear exactly here ...

Let us know your favorites!
Who tops "In the Court of CK." or "Red" -- "Close to the edge" -- "Selling England" -- "Time and Tide"?

McCulloch can speak with that f*kin drums.
He's memorable in Lizard.. I love his style.
