@@danporter9705 He continued singing, plain and simple. Mostly blues and soul. He's performed with Pete York and Van Morrison among others and recorded a few albums with Colosseum, the latest one this year.
@@danporter9705 As Hastobe303 says, he's still singing, and is touring with Colosseum this year. His shape has changed somewhat over the years due to his spina bifida, but last time I saw him he was still a very active performer, and still had a great voice!
Not his real voice. That's the problem authentic blues singers had with these Europeans. They sang like Mississippi Delta black men, but were English boys from Cabridge doing impersonations. 😂
Wow! So not only that you love these 70’s english rock band, you also love those 70’s english rock band? Absolutely an amazing wide range of taste in music!
I just found out Ric Parnell passed away last year. He was singular in every way. The most interesting roommate I've ever had. RIP RP!! Much love to you, wherever you are.
The soulfulness in Chris' voice is incomparable. His vocals here, are just as strong, if not stronger, than the instruments. I've watched this 100's of times. 100's more to come.
"Chris Farlowe is probably the best male blues singer the UK has produced" - Van Morrison. In his 70's, still performing, and his voice is almost as good as ever.. Took "Out of Time" and made it his own with Jagger and Richards singing backing vocals. Anyone who's heard his version of "Handbags and Gladrags" (which Mike D'abo wrote with him in mind to record) would laugh at the phonics version.. His work with Atomic Rooster, and Robert Plant is just timeless.. Anything he sings, its impossible to imagine anyone else doing it justice.. True legend...
I listen to Elmore James ,Hound dog Taylor ,Frankie Lee Sims ,Johnny Winter ,George Thorogood among others ,he is not in their league . I'd rather listen to John Mayall or Tony Mcphee or Peter Green
I like that kind of "down to earth" personality of Chris Farlowe. He's kind of saying - im not a superstar celebrity, im an ordinary man, like you and you
I remember seeing this when I was 14. The sandwich eating was big news back then only to be obscured by the great and powerful Oz and his bat and dove antics. I loved this stuff. The grainy film, the handheld cameras, the realtime musicianship! This clip stuck in my mind for 40 years. Thanks for posting.
I asked Chris Farlow many years ago, why he was eating a sandwich during the filming, as I remember it he said the band were doing 2 gigs that day and he handnt had the chance to eat .
Ah, the totally brilliant Colosseum Live album, a double at that, recorded at some of the dates of a UK tour they did in the spring of '71... One of my absolute favourite albums of all time, that. Farlowe sings fantastic on tracks like Rope Ladder to The Moon.... Highly recomended, if you haven't heard it allready.
Steve Bolton is using a Schaller Roto Sound rotating speaker simulator on this song. His playing is so awesome. Yes, the footage comes from 1972. Ric Parnell is playing the hell out of the drums on here. Vincent Crane, R.I.P., played the hell out of the electric piano and organ as well. Chris Farlowe almost sounds like Tom Jones on here. He has his own singing style.
Now Holy Smokes is this frign just Awesome. The vocals are so great. The Keyboardist is playing Bass and Melodies masterfully and the Drummer OMG!! Don't forget the Guitar adding a wah effect to the background . Wow great sounding band.
Perfect example how to sing and have a sandwich at more or less the same time! Chris Farlowe should go in the Guinness Book of Records for doing this! So layed back, just singing his heart out!
Groove Kings Supreme. British White Soul at it's superb finest. How this singer so obviously listened to Ray Charles, Otis Redding, et cetera, and churned out this beauty - just incredible.
I never heard of this band before but they are awesome! Love the tone of the drums, the organ, and the way the singer used the vocals as an instrument. You don;t hear stuff like this anymore.
lst time i listened to AR was 1971.was totally impressed by death walks behind you LP. was really blown away by in hearing of AR. most underrated musical tracks ever spit-out.BTEAKTHROUGH & BLACKSNAKE ultimately carved in time.
Vincent Crane was an excellent keyboard player in my humble opinion it's a shame the guy suffered from bi-polar disorder for most of his life ultimately committing suicide back in 1989 at the age of 45.....

Love this lineup. Been listening for over 40 years. Also love Winter from "In Hearing Of" and others. Trapeze "Medusa". One of the best r&r lps ever Glenn Hughes amazing vocals great songwriting.
C'est une sacré performance vocale, ainsi qu'instrumentale. J'ai découvert ce groupe y a peu de temps et ils synthétise tout ce que j'aime dans le rock des annees 60/70
It takes a talented singer to be able to work a sandwich into the act without anyone resorting to the heimlich maneuver! Let's see ol' David "Fancy Pants" Coverdale try that! (rumor has it that he couldn't even swallow 3 sesame seeds without Tawny Kitaen jumping onstage for an atomic (no pun intended) suplex just to keep him from choking!) What an freakin' amatuer, Chris was definately the man! When it comes to multi-tasking while singing, he was always # 1!!!
I always had a feeling that the sandwich was not only a snack, but a way to achieve a certain effect on the vocal at the beginning of the song...the peanut butter vocal effect lol. Seriously though I fuggin love this band. If you haven't also listened to "Breakthrough" you are missing out. This band influenced some of my favorites.
If I’m a singer of a band that I know plays 6-7 mins solos on half our live songs, I’m eating too. I might even pull up a chair and a magazine before I get to my part lol
Hi I'm fan Atomic rooster and deep purple love this songs black snake and Friday the 13th and my favorite guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Tony iommi aAnd Robert Johnson and blues rock hard rock and metal im black guy love music .
