 Emerging from the legendary Colosseum, the talented keyboardist David Greenslade formed in 1971 a group in his own image, the Greenslade indeed, calling upon bassist Tony Reeves, drummer Andrew McCulloch (already a drummer in the Crimson King's court in Lizard), and keyboardist and singer Dave Lawson.
