Greenslade – Live 2001 - The Full Edition

Greenslade was a fine second-tier English prog band based around the dual keyboards of Dave Greenslade and Dave Lawson. They released four albums during the 1970s, plus a few solo albums by Dave Greenslade. Blend ELP, The Nice, Argent, and Procol Harum and you’ll be in the ballpark. Greenslade reunited circa 1999 with original members Dave Greenslade and bassist Tony Reeves, plus John Young on vocals & keyboards and a new drummer. They were a hit at Baja Prog 2002, showing the younger bands a thing or two about composing and songwriting. The Full Edition: Live 2001 (or the other way round) includes live renditions of most of Greenslade’s best 1970s tracks plus a few tracks from Large Afternoon, all on one 75-minute CD. Since John Young has a better voice than Dave Lawson did, and recording technology has improved, this is a great way to hear a classic progressive rock band at their finest.
