L'UOVO DI COLOMBO

In March 1973 I was a 16y rockfan and went to Genova Italy to attend the Deep Purple concert presenting their Made in Japan stuff! The support group were UOVO DI COLOMBO ! I have vague memories of them playing just a few songs after been literally thrown out of the stage by people throwing bottles, fruits and other objects . At the time security was a still to come concept . I was pressed against the stage in pole position where I stood for the 6 previous hours. I could not remember wether they were good or bad, I went there to see the Deep Purple. NOW 35 years later, I came to collect and listen to the top 25 italian progressive groups ald all of their production and I was extremely surprised by the quality of this unique record which has skyrocketed the opinion I had of Uovo di Colombo. Considering their short career (only one record) I am considering one of the few lucky to have seen them live, although unable to appreciate them at the time because of age and circunstances. Possibly the same happend to some drunken sailor in Hamburg in the very early Sixties at the Star Club..+ Fiore Lupo
