Thumbs up Kolors 1984

Last week I receieved in the mail from a friend, Karl-Heinz, a 1984 Kolors live concert recordrd somewhere in Germany. I had only heard Katmandu and the Kolors album before this and was not expecting much. I was blown away by the bands tight percusssion and bass. The band cooked and played funk as well as anything out there. Peter was apparently under the weather but played well. They did funk versions of White Sky, Proud Pinto and stuff from the PVK era but with much more kick than the original recordings. I wish I could have seen this incarnation of the Peter Green train but it was a good one. If only he was his 60s self it would have gone into the stratosphere. As it was it backed him up really well and I would think that the folks got their money's worth for the ticket. I would guess that it was this band that went to Isreal during the Festival that wasn't

The Kolors concerts are interesting, absolutely.
They were not bad musicians - people like Godfrey McLean
and Mick Weaver played in the band from time to time.
Most of them were Africans living in London.
Be aware that Alfred "Kari" Bannerman plays most of the solos in that concert, though. Or, half of them, anyway.

I could distiguish the difference immediatly. Bannerman has a unique more modern (world beat)approach and it was entertaining. Peter was spotty but there. He was perhaps a little out of tune on Oh Well but overall a presence in the mix. It was a good show.

There's another show from Stuttgart 2 days later, I think,
which is equally good.
As for the Rockpalast TV show there's a few funny moments
when the band totally loose it and blow the chord changes,
notably in Green Manalishi, and Green is very amused.
A bit like that TV clip of "Oh well" from 1969 where Mick fails
to come in with the cow bell...

Thanks for the info, Vinnie!
I would have thought that the later Kolors concerts (from 1984) were not any good, but I actually tend to enjoy these shows more than the earlier concerts from "Peter's PVK era".

I have a video of Kolors from the Rockpalast shows that I burned for Mick back in 1990 or so. It's pretty worn, so I don't watch it much anymore. You're really not missing anything. I found the video to be sad, if not altogether heartbreaking. NOTHING like his Mac or Splinter Group days. But, the set I have isn't complete by the list posted.

Black Magic Woman
??? (Lead vocal NOT Peter)
Loser Two Times
In The Skies
??? (Lead vocal NOT Peter)
Cryin' Won't Bring You Back
The Green Manalishi
Albatros

Yes, I recieved this in a trade back in late 05'...it's mentioned in a thread I started back then. A very good/excellent audience recording. I did trade with a few other ledgies...so maybe it got around. Here's the thread I started in Dec. 05 http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=24556

I spoke to the guy who recorded the Stuttgart show,
he had very pleasant memories.

The Rockpalast listing for the '82 show is for the complete
set - only the songs Steve mentioned were broadcast.
I don't think it's terrible. Peter doesn't look very healthy, I'll admit that.. But it's nice to hear Peter go reggae!

Thanks for posting the earlier thread. I was a lurker back then and was getting fustrated with never being able to get into the "torrents" site and not having access to what the posters were listening to. I find the evolution of music to be most entertaining. Some performers are captive by their past and fans can't seem to accept that they moved on, so they don't move on. Whatever has gone on with Peter in his life, in his music he has evolved in the sense that he is playng from a different perspective. One can wish that he was the young firebrand but I know that I am nothing like the person I was when I was young, and that is without the medical promlems. In music if you are true to yourself, it is all connected.
