Captured on camera and in superior audio during their first year of existence, Colosseum must have made a great impression at Montreux in 1969. Having played there on 1 January for the Rose d’Or TV Festival, broadcast the following April, they were invited back for the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival the same year. Using the official Swiss TV archives’ footage and audio, remastered in its original form for the first time, this CD and DVD set shows the first line-up of the band at its finest, including a poolside scene performance, which culminated in a topless Dick Heckstall-Smith diving in to cool down!
