I feel the same way about this music, the last time I listened to this great recording was when I was a university student! around the middle of the 70s
Chris voice is a tornado, Hurricane, Tsunami, for me the best white blues singer of all time. And now he sing still with 83 years. And Clemnon guitar is incredible. Perhaps the best live album of all time. Greets from Germany ❤🎉
@@ursulaschlapbach3115:49 I HAD A COPY OF THE ALBUM TRILOGY WHEN IT CAME OUT AND I HAD TO HAVE PLAYED IT AT LEAST A THOUSAND TIMES❤❤❤ EVERY SONG ON THAT RECORD IS A HIT❤❤❤❤❤
I consider it the best live album ever..... and this is my favorite song from it..... all musicians are in top form. I can listen to it over and over again.
Salute for those who still remember great Colosseum.Ten utwór należy beż wątpienia do muzycznych arcydzieł.Dla prawdziwych ,muzycznych koneserów.Ze współczesnego pokolenia niewielu będzie czerpać przyjemność z tej Muzyki.
If I want to cry I always would listen to Clem's solo, because it is so emotional and powerful. And Farlowe's voice sounds like a hurricane. And the virtuose organ. And the jazzy drum. It never will come again.. :-(
As an eighteen year old drummer with a couple of years of steady gigging under my belt (?) I was totally unprepared for this band playing live at one of my local Unis. I stood down by the front of the stage in open mouthed astonishment from beginning to end; my un-drunk beer going flat in my sweaty grip. To this day, I have never seen, or experienced would be a more appropriate term, a live show of musicianship and ensemble playing such as that, and I had seen a lot of great bands by then, including Hendrix, The Nice, Pink Floyd et al. Jon terrified me, but inspired me beyond imagining and remains one of my lifetime heroes. I played my vinyl until it had no grooves left and replaced it at least twice over the years. I played it to everyone who would sit still, and off my Christmas card list they came if they didn't display ecstasy and exuberance very soon after its beginning. A lot of negative criticism was vomited on musically sophisticated '70s music when the decade entered its second half, with terms like pretentious or pseudo-would-be classical becoming ever more ubiquitous (often from the very critics who had cheerfully drunk the back-stage freebies and obsequiously hob-knobbed with the bands) but class will - as they say - out, and survive the passage of time. Nothing could be a better example than this band and those performances. Thank Heavens it was preserved.
Just found your comment. I was at the front of the audience for both the Manchester Uni gigs when the album was recorded. They played and recorded the scheduled Saturday night gig. Jon was so impressed with the atmosphere that they returned the following Thursday and recorded a free concert for Student Union members only. Dick Heckstall-Smith rather messed up his solo in Tanglewood 69, so when the band came back for the encore Jon asked for our indulgence so they could play it again, and if we gave him a good response they would play Valentyne Suite which by then had been dropped from the set. Dick played it brilliantly second time around. After VS, the crowd wanted another encore. Jon remarked "this is going to be interesting as we haven't a clue what we are going to play". He called out to the band "slow blues in E", they started and Chris started singing the words to Stormy Monday. It was brilliant. In the intro to Stormy Monday at the Freiberg reunion concert, Jon references this incident "at a University in the North of England". For a brief period in rock history, Colosseum were the best live band on the planet. We'll never see the likes of them again. BTW the back of my head appears in one of the photos inside the album cover.
@@madhouze1 Fabulous info, the best live band in the world, wow.. you were super fortunate to be there that night, we all wish we could borrow a time machine for an hour to experience what you did.. never to be repeated 😔😔😔
Love your comment and story. I had only one record from Colosseum II, Strange new flesh, I loved it. It is music, I think you got to know when you are young
I was lucky to see all flavours of Colosseum, the first one with the excellent James Litherland on guitar and vocals. Then I saw Colosseum 2 with Gary Moore and Don Airey. Around 1997 I saw the classic lineup in Cardiff - I invited an American friend with me he was dazzled by their performance. I saw them again, twice in Graz, in Worcester and finally at the Jon Hiseman Memorial at the Shepherds Bush O2. What a show that was. Clempson, Litherland, a cello (from the Variations set) Don Airey, Chris Farlowe and a rather ill Barbara Thomson spoke to us (she died earlier this year) What a fantastic legacy
In those years I saw a lot of gigs. I mean, a lot. Some of them wonderful. But of everyone I saw, these guys, on stage, were simply on another planet. Hiseman, particularly, was a force of nature. But they all went with him. Farlowe, Greenslade, all of them. Proud to say that I was at this, at Manchester Uni. By the way, it was free admission!! This is the version that still gives me goosebumps. I was seventeen then, I'm sixty-nine now. Who knows where the time goes…
Jeder der Musiker ist ein absolutes Genie an seinem Instrument. Den Titel zeichnet eine unglaubliche Freude und Spaß an der Musik aus. Super! "Live " und "Valentyne Suite " waren meine ersten LP's und ich höre sie immer noch gerne. ❤😊
One of 3 best live albums i ve ever heard. Chris Farlow is maybe the best singer i ve ever heard. Jon Hiseman... All of them.. Apsolutly fantastic. I have emotional relationship with this song. I love Colloseum.
John Hisman. You was the, and will always be the best drummer in the world. John died and left us on june 12 -2018. In May 2018, Hiseman's family reported that he was struggling with a brain tumor. He died at age 73 on 12 June 2018 in Sutton, England.[6] He was nine days short of his 74th birthday. Rest in peace John Hiseman, I will never forget you. -
..... I didn t know...... I'm very sad about your information.... I saw him in the 70ties in a musicshop.... he made commercial tour for... Roger drums... he came.... and all musicians from the local scene were around.... it was a hot summerday in July... I guess... and he played nearly 2 hours..... it was unforgettable.... to everyone who was there this day.... he was one of the best.... ever
Ginger Baker hated him saying he was a horrible person. Now, anyone who has listened to both drummers understands that Ginger was probably very very jealous of Hiseman's very very superior drumming: Ginger wasn't bad but Hiseman was incredible.
.... it s stupid to say... this the best and this one is better.... I like both.... I could understand Ginger to be jealous about his playing because it was unique
@@kurtlonde5892 You are confusing technique with musical tastes. I prefer Syd Barrett's guitar playing to Paco de Lucia's, yet it would be idiotic to say Barrett was a better guitarist.
@@thehotyounggrandpas8207..... yes you are right..... but I make music many years but I never would try to say this person has a better technique than the other.... on this level
I bought this album when it was first released and new that this number would last me forever. It must contain one of the greatest guitar solo's of all time (let alone all the other superb musicianship and vocals) and is certainly my favourite. Never gets a look-in amongst the usual suspects...shame.
I got this album about 45 years ago from a friend. He said something as: "Well I don't quite dig this music. You have a little more jazz in you, take it." Grateful ever since😊
Ascoltarli al buio nella mia cameretta 52anni fa....sensazioni indescribili che riprovo ogni volta che li riascolto. unici erano allora elo saranno sempre
ich liebe sie auch als wäre es gestern gewesen, da können sich fast alle Bands heutzutage eine dicke Scheibe abschneiden, eine ähnlich gute Liveband finde ich the Eagles oder damals Rory Gallagher
Después de casi 40 años,sigo sorprendiéndose está canción.Lo escuché por primera vez en el año 1972 y ahora q tengo 62,sigo con esa sensación de placer al escucharla.
In quegli anni ero chitarrista di un gruppo e suonavano sei locali , le balere, e nel repertorio avevamo tre pezzi dei Colosseum: I can't live ( without you), walking in the park e the grass is greener dall'album Valentine suite. La prima volta che abbiamo proposto quest'ultima la gente che ballava ha smesso di ballare e ha ascoltato la canzone fermi in mezzo alla pista da ballo, alla fine hanno applaudito.....Da brivido!!
This is one of the first tracks I ever listened to on my dad's record player, I get goosebumps everytime I hear it! Absolute quality, modern day music doesn't compare.
Colisseum were a Truly Great Band - a superb track from one of my favourite Progressive Rock Albums of the 70's. A unique line-up of exceptionally talented Musicians!!
Love this album since 1971, Now, It gets me up 3000 elevation to a top of a mountain like no other live album. Daughter of time on the way down and you feel ....so amazing.
What a time of creativity ! No Internet, it all came from inside us, search for the truth, music was the breakout means. For so much more we are, we are dreams, we are spirits ! Hommage to these guys, grand spirits, channels between the Gods and us.
Maybe... I was eleven years old, when I listen this vinyl master piece! It belonged to my father, and I still have it. Unfortunately, I do not have my father with me anymore.
Words fail me, I've always loved this album and pestered many to experience, with some success. The way this track opens at a pace, and builds with sumptuous keyboards, the haunting sound of the guitar coming in always gives me sensational shivers, it also builds, develops and changes, as if never ending, you don't want it to end! It must be one of the longest solo pieces ever! not least! also Farlowe's powerful vocal, completes, all good!!
Yeah ! But if you want to find the same kind of guitar artform, check this: ua-cam.com/video/fuZyMx2NXZM/v-deo.html . Lost Angeles is one of my favourites, but lets's not forget those southern guys. Another kind of jam but still very powerful.
As an apprentice technician in the late 60's I had no money --but travelled everywhere I could to see Colosseum! I even met Chris Farlowe on one of the gigs. He probably thought I was a 'roadie ?? Great times! fantastic band!!
esta presentaciòn tiene que estar entre las mejores performances en la historia de la musica del siglo 20, cada segundo es perfecciòn absoluta, increible que esto no tenga mas views, es increible
As close to perfect as live ever gets. That keyboard intro, so compelling and sinister, that vocal(!), that guitar, that drumming!, that BUILD!! This was one magic moment in music history.
For the first time, I heard this Album, when I was visiting a friend of mine. I think in 72 or 73. When I was back in my home town, I bought it, and since then, I'm listening to this fantastic Group.
I was lucky enough to see their live-show 1971 at the Stadthalle Heidelberg Germany. After that I ran and tried to find the vinyl record, which I still own from then. Some 30 years later I saw their same concert again, and again I was impressed. My favourite is Tanglewood ´63.
Was at the live gig in Manchester March 1971, it was a sensational Saturday night the whole band masters of their craft 'Lost Angeles' quite astounding.
i saw Chris Farlowe about 2009 with Hamburg Blues Band at the Free Blues Club/Szczecin/Poland. It was the best concert i've ever heard! I saw Stones, Cypress Hill, Prince, Jack White even Deep Purple live but there is nothing over Chris & Colosseum ;)
Had forgotten this music piece of perfection. Sold my LP 20 years ago and this summer had a strong recall of Lost Angeles so I downloaded a mp3 version. Beautiful openminded red and sensitive as heart.
Like many others below: this was my favourite album during highschool. Was a bit afraid to listen to it again, not to destroy good old memories. Surprise: it sounds even better now than before. The singing melting with the other instruments. Dynamic, swinging, rocking. Skat framed by music or vice versa. So intimately good. THX
Today Ginger Baker died... He and Jon Hiseman (Colosseum) had been my all time favorite drummers 😁😍 I'm very happy and grateful that they influenced my youth and hopefully their music still turns people on (e.g. CREAM: Crossroads, or COLOSSEUM: Lost Angeles)
The vinyl pressing took me an age of scouring second-hand record shops to finally secure a copy. I was on a holiday job while at high school when first I heard this album. A workmate, from England, had an older brother who had been to the very concert recorded for this album! He had taken a cassette recorder in with him (which was how I, half a world away, came to hear this at all). "Lost Angeles" would have to be my favourite track! Oh how it builds!!
I bought this LP when it came out in '72/73, along with a re-issue of the first two Fleetwood Mac LPs. I didn't get around to listening to FM for 6 months... :)
Was that the performance where the fire alarm went off in the middle of Jon Heisman's drum solo and the hall had to be cleared? He just picked up where he left off.
WOW..! that's truly awesome, one of the most sought after slots on the time machine taking you back to live gigs that you never got to see that you would have desperately wanted to be at.. 😱 ( only claim to fame is Knebworth in '75 with the Floyd.. still got the photos)
I was at one of their first London gigs at The Marquee, John Mayall, whose band Dick Heckstall-Smith, Jon Hiseman and Tony Reeves, had recently left got up and did several numbers with them. It was the first of many memorable nights listening to this great band, I was fortunate to have seen and heard most incarnations they went through. This period, for me, was the absolute apogee of their career, they undoubtedly became even more polished and professional after reforming, but the power of the vocals and the dynamism of all the instrumentalists, was at it's peak at the time of this recording. Unfortunately, both Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman, are now plying their trade in the massed bands of Heaven, but we still have these fabulous recordings to listen to. R.I.P., Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman.
Jon Hiseman was absolutely among the greatest drumers rock (jazz) has ever had . In comparison to him Ginger was too raw , Palmer too sterile...I still like his drumming so much . He had that something . RIP
Are you fvcking kidding me! Unbelievable! I’m 67 and I was a 60s rock pioneer officianado and I Never gave these guys a look back then. Glad I didn’t in a way because I have them now and for me they are fresh and new and a KNOCKOUT!
Làng geleden toen mijn tante nog wieltjes had heb ik dit monsterverbond mogen aanschouwen op het Belgische "Jazz Bilzen" festival. Nu moet Rock Werchter zich o.a. tevreden stellen met een headliner als Pharrell W. En zeggen dat deze sublieme Chris Farlowe in Bilzen een jamsessie mee op gang trok met Cuby & The Blizzards (featuring Herman Brood), Alexis Corner en The Small Faces. Van het mooiste en integerste dat ooit op een podium te zien was. Hulde!
What a band - saw them at the first Reading Festival in about 1970-71. I remember Dick-Heckstall Smith playing two saxes at once & Jon Hiseman’s epic drum solo.
Clemson went on to play guitar for Humble Pie bringing his amazing chops when Frampton moved on. Clem Clemson is one of the most soulful, rockin' virtuoso guitar players. Overlooked is an understatement. When this version of Collosium wat reunited Clem's guitar just jumped out front. DHS playing dual horns, Greenslades organ. Not rock not jazz, not jazz rock......it was rock jazz. I purchased my first copy of this recording the year it came out. Thank you for this. Namaste
How cool!! I was looking for 'Lost Angels', a 1941 movie for my sister, but found this instead. Awesome:) I'm an organ player. I hear the influence this might have had on Boz Skaggs vocally. SAVE THE HAMMOND AND WURLITZER ELECTROMECHANICAL TONE WHEEL & ELECTROSTATIC REED ORGANS!
After more than 50 years listening, still coming back here.
If music could shine, their music shines like an everlasting star.
I feel the same way about this music, the last time I listened to this great recording was when I was a university student! around the middle of the 70s
one of the best singers I ever heard in 1971 /of course with robert plant and others/ :)
Chris voice is a tornado, Hurricane, Tsunami, for me the best white blues singer of all time. And now he sing still with 83 years. And Clemnon guitar is incredible. Perhaps the best live album of all time.

Haven't heard this for ages. Still a fabulously manic final third for the senses
Gran tema, me encantó el solo de guitarra. Primera vez que escucho Colosseum. Su musica es grandiosa, única e incomparable.
esta presentaciòn tiene que estar entre las mejores performances en la historia de la musica del siglo 20, cada segundo es perfecciòn absoluta, increible que esto no tenga mas views, es increible
Damals ein Meisterwerk, heute immer noch ein Meiseterwerk!
Das hast du richtig erkannt
pure rough feeling combined with virtuosity...that's it! A masterpiece....
As close to perfect as live ever gets. That keyboard intro, so compelling and sinister, that vocal(!), that guitar, that drumming!, that BUILD!!
This was one magic moment in music history.
For the first time, I heard this Album, when I was visiting a friend of mine. I think in 72 or 73. When I was back in my home town, I bought it, and since then, I'm listening to this fantastic Group.
super nummer von hervorragenden Musikern - ein evergreen
Probably the greatest band I have listened to Post Angeles is a master piece in my humble opinion.
Das Album kaufte ich 1971 und höre immer noch gern.
Das selbe gilt für mich
dann bist ja auch nicht mehr taufrisch hihi, Musik kennt kein Alter
Iche kaufe das album in 1971. . I am listening to it like for fist time with out lsd...sounds good.
@@jameslujack2034 good for you
@@jameslujack2034 but listen to the great Grand Funk Railroad °()°
Die beste Jazzrock-Band aller Zeiten. Leider sind ja schon einige Mitglieder gestorben.
I was lucky enough to see their live-show 1971 at the Stadthalle Heidelberg Germany. After that I ran and tried to find the vinyl record, which I still own from then. Some 30 years later I saw their same concert again, and again I was impressed. My favourite is Tanglewood ´63.
I envy u!
Was at the live gig in Manchester March 1971, it was a sensational Saturday night the whole band masters of their craft 'Lost Angeles' quite astounding.
i saw Chris Farlowe about 2009 with Hamburg Blues Band at the Free Blues Club/Szczecin/Poland. It was the best concert i've ever heard! I saw Stones, Cypress Hill, Prince, Jack White even Deep Purple live but there is nothing over Chris & Colosseum ;)
My young days. SO beautiful and talented music. My mother said ( 1979) she liked this piece.
Still have this classic vinyl
My favorite group together with cream. Best I ever heard! Especially this song is soooooo awesome!
Had forgotten this music piece of perfection. Sold my LP 20 years ago and this summer had a strong recall of Lost Angeles so I downloaded a mp3 version. Beautiful openminded red and sensitive as heart.
Like many others below: this was my favourite album during highschool. Was a bit afraid to listen to it again, not to destroy good old memories. Surprise: it sounds even better now than before. The singing melting with the other instruments. Dynamic, swinging, rocking. Skat framed by music or vice versa. So intimately good. THX
greatest guitar solo of all time!
Bahbah cudag@420
AGREE!
along with The Grass Is Greener, from their American Dunhill album...
Every time I listen to this song I think it's a miracle..
12dreamsardonicus I have the same feeling
Today Ginger Baker died... He and Jon Hiseman (Colosseum) had been my all time favorite drummers 😁😍 I'm very happy and grateful that they influenced my youth and hopefully their music still turns people on (e.g. CREAM: Crossroads, or COLOSSEUM: Lost Angeles)
Saw them 2 times in Concert. One of the greatest live bands ever. And Chris Farlowe, what a voice. Hear more great music in my Playlists.
The vinyl pressing took me an age of scouring second-hand record shops to finally secure a copy. I was on a holiday job while at high school when first I heard this album. A workmate, from England, had an older brother who had been to the very concert recorded for this album! He had taken a cassette recorder in with him (which was how I, half a world away, came to hear this at all). "Lost Angeles" would have to be my favourite track! Oh how it builds!!
I bought this LP when it came out in '72/73, along with a re-issue of the first two Fleetwood Mac LPs. I didn't get around to listening to FM for 6 months... :)
What a masterpiece!!!
My sole claim to fame .... I was there at the Manchester University gig. 18 years old and in my element. Jon Hiseman was just unbelievable.
Was that the performance where the fire alarm went off in the middle of Jon Heisman's drum solo and the hall had to be cleared? He just picked up where he left off.
WOW..! that's truly awesome, one of the most sought after slots on the time machine taking you back to live gigs that you never got to see that you would have desperately wanted to be at.. 😱
( only claim to fame is Knebworth in '75 with the Floyd.. still got the photos)
Just perfect.
+Laura Mary Gee Agree !
Perfect group. Perfect sound. And the King Jon on drumms!
Farlowe has excellent range, and his voice has this 'freaky' quality. Surrounded by excellent musicians.
Yes, and given how this this song has such an apocalypic, sinister undertone, the weird/freaky quality of Farlowe's voice fits it perfectly.
Great band, but I always thought Farlowe's voice was a bit too theatrical.
I was at one of their first London gigs at The Marquee, John Mayall, whose band Dick Heckstall-Smith, Jon Hiseman and Tony Reeves, had recently left got up and did several numbers with them. It was the first of many memorable nights listening to this great band, I was fortunate to have seen and heard most incarnations they went through. This period, for me, was the absolute apogee of their career, they undoubtedly became even more polished and professional after reforming, but the power of the vocals and the dynamism of all the instrumentalists, was at it's peak at the time of this recording. Unfortunately, both Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman, are now plying their trade in the massed bands of Heaven, but we still have these fabulous recordings to listen to. R.I.P., Dick Heckstall-Smith and Jon Hiseman.
Mark E. Blewer : thanks for remembering!
Thanks for remembering
Love the keyboard work by Dave on this track.
Always been a fan. One of the best band and musicians of all time !!! and this VOICE, awesome !!!
nearly as good as MODERN TALKING ... ;-) ;-)
Erst vorige Woche habe ich Chris Farlowe live zusammen mit der Hamburger Blues Band gesehen. Tolle Stimme, immer noch.
Jon Hiseman was absolutely among the greatest drumers rock (jazz) has ever had . In comparison to him Ginger was too raw , Palmer too sterile...I still like his drumming so much . He had that something . RIP
Parlami di Bonzo!
Yes indeed
Ladies and Gentlemen - you're listening to the best rock band ever.
Are you fvcking kidding me! Unbelievable! I’m 67 and I was a 60s rock pioneer officianado and I Never gave these guys a look back then. Glad I didn’t in a way because I have them now and for me they are fresh and new and a KNOCKOUT!
Clem Clemson kicks ass on guitar on this track, and in fact all of the musicians in this band are stellar.
Clempson who later went onto to join HUMBLE PIE!
Mike Foley Peter Frampton John Entwistle Ox Band Humble Pie
Phila Spectrum 1975.
Good Bye To The Pie
Tour
Dave Greenslade had his own band, Greenslade.
Clem is my favorite guit man
The Clemson solo to listen to on this album is on Skellington. Greatest guitar solo ever.
This, and Nantucket Sleighride, are 2 of my favorites from way back when.
This song is soooooooooooooooooooo good
Làng geleden toen mijn tante nog wieltjes had heb ik dit monsterverbond mogen aanschouwen op het Belgische "Jazz Bilzen" festival. Nu moet Rock Werchter zich o.a. tevreden stellen met een headliner als Pharrell W. En zeggen dat deze sublieme Chris Farlowe in Bilzen een jamsessie mee op gang trok met Cuby & The Blizzards (featuring Herman Brood), Alexis Corner en The Small Faces. Van het mooiste en integerste dat ooit op een podium te zien was. Hulde!
I favolosi anni 70 ... me ne mancano ancora 5 ..chissà se ci arriverò
Come no ? In bocca al lupo ..
I so want to see this guitar solo on video, it's so god damn beautiful. Wish there was a video recording of it. Best guitar solo ever imho.
I completely agree
I still have this one from purchased new in '71.
In those days all my friends used to have the album . That was the matter of self _respect
😁
i heard it the first time with 17 years...still amazing ...
What a band - saw them at the first Reading Festival in about 1970-71. I remember Dick-Heckstall Smith playing two saxes at once & Jon Hiseman’s epic drum solo.
Clemson went on to play guitar for Humble Pie bringing his amazing chops when Frampton moved on. Clem Clemson is one of the most soulful, rockin' virtuoso guitar players. Overlooked is an understatement. When this version of Collosium wat reunited Clem's guitar just jumped out front. DHS playing dual horns, Greenslades organ. Not rock not jazz, not jazz rock......it was rock jazz. I purchased my first copy of this recording the year it came out. Thank you for this. Namaste
How cool!! I was looking for 'Lost Angels', a 1941 movie for my sister, but found this instead. Awesome:) I'm an organ player.
I hear the influence this might have had on Boz Skaggs vocally.
SAVE THE HAMMOND AND WURLITZER ELECTROMECHANICAL TONE WHEEL & ELECTROSTATIC REED ORGANS!
amazing Dick Heckstall-Smith
This is insane. The ending is deadly.
... a very nice death ... ;-)
DEADLY ! 😁👌
Absolutely fantastic: the intro! 👏
Before THIS I never used Jazz-Rock before! This album is one of the greatest in lifetime!!!!!
my new favorite old band.
What a journey to Lost Angeles....and in the drivers seat!......
