Just occasionally a group of musicians really collaborate, maybe not to all tastes, but the best in British r&b since 1970. Here re-formed and there is blues at 1.39:
A great find thanks! I really liked Colosseum II as well. I have seen John Hiseman a few times with his wife, saxophonist Barbara Thompson. The blues track is nice!
Chris Farlowe was an amazing vocalist. The Colosseum Live 2 record set is still one of the best sounding live recordings in my collection. ---------- The Iceman
many years ago I had a studio basement with all the kit, I was a drummer then, one night Dick turned up and jammed with us hippies. I did not realise who he was but thought well sax players like that, wow
you are lucky to have had such an experience. you Brits are also lucky to have had close experiences with a lot of music/culture that was never picked up by us Yanks...
"Only Fools and Horses" (you can call me Del Boy) Lindesfarne Gentle Giant The Eric Sykes Show Climax Blues Band Cleo Laine (was somewhat popular here by those "in the know") If etc etc ---------- The Iceman
Yes Iceman, I am getting old now but still feel blessed to have seen the bands I saw in the day.
King Crimson, still stand out as different, they did not go down the blues roots path. To this day I feel they were/are outstanding (see greg Lake on youtube)
sentimental perhaps but in London the Marquee club in Wardour St Soho was the place to go..The Nice, Jethro Tull, F Mac, etc., etc
Very small club with an intimate atmosphere
One club of many, Klooks Kleek, The Speakeasy, Roundhouse Oh Well best wishes
These are the venues that were the best places to see these bands live....before rock and roll became a multi million dollar BUSINESS. ---------- The Iceman
