The only thing keeping me from sledgehammering a certain beautiful paperweight into oblivion is the music that tames the savage beast.

Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 08:08:58 PMgreat album covers though!

I seem to recall a couple featured in the Roger Dean book I have.
Other bands included, of course, Yes, Uriah Heep and Osibisa amongst others

Quote from: lil chris on Yesterday at 08:19:51 PMJust got some good news today, following my checkup scan in May I have been told I am still all clear. For anyone who does not know I had cancer in 2023 and had a opperation, then had chemo in 2024 and was told all clear. So well happy, I had a feeling it would be ok because I was booked a telephone appointment, but still glad to find out proper. Been told by the hospital they will be keeping a check on me for the next 5 years, which is good to know.

Very good news Chris.

Very nice Tim @Moonglum . Very nice indeed.

I always rather liked Colosseum but was just ever so slightly put off by Chris Farlowe's  vocals which I felt were rather overpowering.

Yes, Clem Clemson was an under-rated guitarist and I also rated the legendary Dick Heckstalll-Smith on sax.

Strangely, I never saw Colosseum live.
I have no idea why as I saw most bands of the era. For some reason, however, they eluded me.

I dod see Greenslade once but, like you, I was always a bit underwhelmed.

Yes John My son is a fan, could not go to celebrations though he was working...PS glad you got your tyres sorted.....

Yes sad news, I haven't heard this track before, nice vibe(s). DG's work with Colosseum I think is better than his solo work which never quite did it for me - great album covers though!

DG was my dad's friend's neighbour in Stanmore back in the 70s and I saw Greenslade at the Roundhouse (Camden) in July 1975 (supported by Motorhead no less).

Martin @port perran , you might like this one as well with the late Barbara Thompson. Clem Clemson is a great guitarist as well.

*Whispering* I think they are the most handsome of the Hydraulics.

Taxi!

To my mind, that award goes to the Hymeks

I'll get me cape
