Colosseum's boisterous prog-jazz-blues blend really shines in a live context, and whilst I wouldn't say this is enormously better than their top-grade studio albums (Valentyne Suite and Daughter of Time), it's a decent summation of the best aspects of their sound. It's particularly good that Chris Farlowe got this opportunity to further showcase his vocal contributions, because he'd only joined on Daughter of Time and it would have been a shame if that had been the only outing for him as frontman of the first incarnation of the group. Lost Angeles is a particular highlight, with Farlowe wringing genuine emotion out of the track as the band play like the world is ending (which for them, in a way, it kind of was).
