In the late stage of the activity which arranged a brilliant players in a vocalist with the great British R & B world’s chief fellow low, Klemm Clemson (guitar), Dave · Green Slade (keyboard), Mark · Clark (base), late stage of activities, 1971 in Germany First title of the maniac startle which included three performances recorded first! Disc: 1 First of all, the German tour which took place in support of Gentle Giant was supported from Frankfurt’s performance on April 8 First high-quality stereo sound It recorded 63 minutes on board. While reproducing the first half of the concert, here is a precious live playing with powerful official quality. The live at this time can be listened to on the official board “LIVE”, but the attention is “The Time Machine” featuring the drum solo of the 4th song, this piece is excerpted only of the part of the second half drum solo – ending It enters the bonus track of the CD board “Daughter Of Time”, but this is the first appearance part where the ending of drum solo was recorded from the first half to the contrary. As long as you can listen to it with Ultra Clear Line Recording, I am happy for my enthusiastic fans. And in the first half of Disc: 2 & 3, Düsseldorf’s performances from the same German tour were recorded for 1 hour and 41 minutes. This is a recording by a Japanese living in Dusseldorf at that time, a gem that can be said enough quality as an audience recording at the time. Downhill Shadows which has not been accounted for in the official live, and the aforementioned Time Machine are completely recorded from the intro to the end. Finally, in addition to the take-up taking place at the Rock Festival in Dusseldorf at that time, this addition was recorded for about 40 minutes from the cassette master which has not been circulated by the same recording person at all. A super rare item that surprises the world colosseum fans!

04 - Tanglewood '63
05 - Lost Angeles

Time: 48m19s

Sound: B/B+

As stated, this recording has been mastered from a needledrop. Before doing this, I cleaned the vinyl carefully using anti-stat. The record looks as if it was hardly played before I owned it. The grooves are not precisely centered around the hole, causing the needle to drift about. Sometimes you can obviously hear this. The sound has hardly any frequencies above 10kHz (except for the scratches on the vinyl). It's mono, but I left the left and right channels intact. If you're expecting a high quality soundboard recording, this is not it...
But having said that, it is listenable enough and also quite hard to find. The first track sounds the worst, after that the sound gets better.

Ever wonder what Gary Moore did after his 1st stint with Thin Lizzy? Well, one of his many projects, he spent time with Colosseum II. Now called "II", since they were established as "Colosseum" previously. This 2cd bootleg has some different sources from FM, SB, & AUD. If anyone would like to offer some additional information on Colosseum (either via web page URL or text format), please feel free to do so.
