Yeah, I saw Colosseum in the late 60's at the Bay Hotel in Sunderland -
so 37/38 years ago - bloody hell!. All I can remember is Dave
Greenslade playing keyboards with one hand and vibes with the other -
the instruments were facing each other and he was more-or-less
stretched out between them. Also I bumped into DHS wandering around the
venue after the gig. I was so much in awe of the man I didn't dare
speak, but I remember he was bald even then and he just looked so cool
in a long black leather coat.

I was at the Bath Festival in 1970 and I was amazed to find out just a
couple of years ago that Colosseum had been on the bill. I must have
slept right through their set!

Cheers, anyway,

David
