Доп. информация: This is one of the pivotal progressive bands that emerged in the second part of the Sixties. Unfortunalety the progressive world was more impressed by The NICE and KING CRIMSON, so in my opinion COLOSSEUM is a bit understimated progrock band. In ’68 the founding members were drummer Jon Hiseman, tenor sax-player Dick Heckstall-Smith and bass player Tony Reeves, later joined by Dave Greenslade (keyboards), Dave Clempson (guitar), Chris Farlowe (vocals) and Mark Clark, he replaced Tony Reeves. COLOSSEUM made three studio albums: 'Those Who Are To Die We Salute You' and 'Valentyne Suite' (both from ’69) and 'Daughter Of Time' (’70). The music is a progressive mix of several styles (rock, jazz, blues) with lots of sensational solos and captivating interplay. In ’71 the band released their highly acclaimed live album 'Colosseum live', a proove of their great skills on stage but also showing that at some moments the compositions sounded a bit too stretched. After COLOSSEUM was disbanded in ’71, most of these members formed or joined known groups like HUMBLE PIE (Clem Clempson), ATOMIC ROOSTER (Chris Farlowe), GREENSLADE (Dave Greenslade re-united with Tony Reeves) and COLOSSEUM II (founded by Jon Hiseman). In ’91 the label Castle Communications released the comprehensive compilation CD entitled 'The Time Machine'.The second album 'The Valentyne Suite' is considired as their best. It sounds mature and varied with the epic titletrack as the highlight: it’s build up around a mindblowing solo on the Hammond organ by Dave Greenslade and great guitarwork by Clem Clempson. And if you like brass (I don’t!), Dick Heckstall-Smitch delivers stunning tenor-saxophone work.[quote=Review:]COLOSSEUM Those Who Are About To Die

SPECIAL COLLABORATION
5 stars — An important pioneering album, which melded jazz rock and blues together, and at the time of its release created something quite new. Ironically, way back then the UK music press announced the formation of Colosseum within a few weeks of Timebox announcing they were folding , (sic) 'because there was no call for bands that mixed jazz blues and rock' - Colosseum proved differently (while Timebox became Patto and its vibraphonist Ollie Hassell became the much accomplished guitarist).
TWABTDSY, Colosseum's first, was and still is an ear-opener, showing what excellent musicians playing excellent music, can do. Hiseman had (and continues) played jazz and blues (check out his collaboration on Jack Bruce's first solo 'Things We Like'). Dick Heckstall Smith (who could do a Roland Kirk and play several wind instruments simultaneously), had long paid his dues with Graham Bond and John Mayall and had become one the better known UK saxophonists. While the then relative new names of James Litherland (guitar and vocals), Dave Greenslade (keys, son of a musician and bandleader) and Tony Reeves (bass and producer), contributed in their equal ways, to produce an album that remains a classic almost 35 years later.
The album kicks off with the best version of Graham Bond’s great R’n’B tune “Walking In The Park”, (although Bond’s own version, released as a single a few years early, is a close second). The following tunes cover a lot of musical space, as one might expect from the types of musician involved. Straight blues to jazz, and with Dave Greenslade’s presence, there is a smattering of s
