Music gives soul to universe, wings to mind, flight to imagination, charm to sadness, and life to everything.

Colosseum - Live In Montreux (1969 uk, remarkable prog experimental jazz blues rock, 2020 digi pak)

 


Following their successful appearance here on the Golden Rose TV Festival in April 1969, the band was invited back to play the Montreux Jazz Festival in June to a more youthful audience. The hot sunny weather saw the boys play an impromptu afternoon matinee by the pool, which culminated in a topless Dick Heckstall-Smith diving in to cool down! During that time bootlegs were a big part of the scene.
