 EPISODE SUMMARYWelcome back to Those Who Are About To Dive: Chronicling Colosseum Track by Bloody Track with Dr. Glund, where Chaz Charles and the good Doctor once again ignore the clock, misplace the agenda, and wander willingly into the long, strange corridors of rock history. If you’re expecting structure, restraint, or anything resembling public radio discipline, you are — once again — in the wrong ocean.This episode opens in classic form: a psychedelic light show pulsing behind Dr. Glund’s head, memories firing in all directions, and stories from a time when buying concert tickets meant physically driving into the city and hoping for the best. Cream at the Café A Go Go. Zeppelin opening for Iron Butterfly. Triple bills that would make modern promoters faint. The Joshua Light Show at the Fillmore East, melting faces before anyone knew that was a job description.From there, things drift — productively — into British blues obscurities, record-store decisions based entirely on album covers, and a deep dive into Juicy Lucy, a band remembered fondly in Glund’s household for reasons both musical and… visual. Vertigo Records, management lineages, swampy grooves, steel guitars, and the lost art of discovering music without algorithms all get their due.Eventually — inevitably — the conversation circles back to Colosseum.THIS EPISODE:“Mandarin” — Track 3 from Those Who Are About To Die Salute You (1969)An instrumental statement, and a bold one. Chaz frames “Mandarin” as a bass-forward declaration, an early example of Colosseum planting a flag that says this is about music first. Tony Reeves’ fuzz-drenched bass tone sparks a sprawling discussion about the history — and rarity — of bass solos in rock, leading the guys through Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, Geddy Lee, and eventually landing squarely on Cliff Burton and “(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth.”For Chaz, “Mandarin” reads as a precursor — risky, abrasive, and ahead of its time.For Dr. Glund, it’s something else entirely.The Glundian tests are applied without mercy. While the musicianship is undeniable and the intent respected, “Mandarin” ultimately fails to expand the mind — at least as it was heard back then. It’s a track that demanded attention the band wasn’t always willing to give, a moment that sent listeners to the kitchen for a beer or outside for a smoke, not out of disrespect, but confusion.And yet — the balls to put it there, third track on a debut album?That earns respect.This episode is part music history, part oral tradition, and part live excavation of how tastes form, harden, soften, and evolve over time. There are no rankings, no cleanup passes, and no apologies — just two aging music freaks following the sound wherever it leads, even when it leads somewhere uncomfortable.Pour something strong.Turn it up.And remember: it’s track by bloody track.Here’s lookin’ at ya, Clay Cole.Let’s have a visky.YOUR PRESCRIPTIONRecommended Indulgences to Satisfy the VoluptuaryAdministered not for correction, but for pleasure.Dosage may be increased at will.Recommended ConditionsBest consumed after dark, preferably when nothing important remains undoneVolume set slightly higher than advisableHeadphones encouraged; lights optionalPairs well with a visky, a comfortable chair, and the firm decision not to check one’s phoneMay be taken alone or in the company of someone who understands when not to speakPrescribed ListeningJuicy LucyBritish blues rock with grease under the fingernails.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juicy_LucyTempest(Jon Hiseman · Mark Clarke)A short-lived but dangerous convergence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(British_band)Michael Anthony(Van Halen — live bass solo)Cliff Burton(Metallica — “(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth”)Possible Side EffectsLoss of interest in tidy genre boundariesA sudden urge to defend bass players in unrelated conversationsTemporary belief that instrumental tracks deserve patience Hosted on Acast.
