I strongly recommend to buy "COLOSSEUM LIVE" as next very soon. This was the absolute favorite in my youth. You will simply be blown away, but watch out not to get LOST in ANGELES
In the world of Jazz/Rock Fusion this band is the composed of the bestmusicians that ever played together. Hiseman was the best drummer ever, God rest his soul.
Chris Farlowe is amazing, he started his singing career in 1957 - and he has gig dates booked in 2021! He is now 80 (in 2020) and still singing live! 😎
and he still cuts it and blows a mean blues harmonica, all power to him, I spoke to him a while back and he came across as a really interesting person!
@@henryrogers5500 That is an era when true musicianship dominated across the board! I'd have to say the era {1964-1972} to be the most interesting in my life! After that, "Funk"/"Disco" and "Corporate Rock" {1973-1975} ruled the airwaves only to be eclipsed by 'Punk Rock" and later "New Wave" {1976-1983}. After that, the only music that truly interested me has been "Alternative" music. I was Blessed to be along for the ride! I watched "A Hard Day's Night" last night and "Magical Mystery Tour" two night's ago!
@@raulmacias5735 Raul, you and I are almost carbon copies of each other! My thoughts exactly and I couldn’t have said it better. We were fortunate to be alive and enjoying the pop culture of our youth! So glad for TH-cam that all this is preserved for us! When I was in high school in 1971, we didn’t hear of Colosseum and Atomic Rooster. I don’t know why. Guess it was all about Hendrix, Cream, Mountain, Humble Pie, the James Gang, Grand Funk Railroad, Wishbone Ash, The Who, Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper. Now, because of TH-cam, I’m crazy about Colosseum and Atomic Rooster!!! P.S. I also have all the Beatles’ movies on video, also bootleg videos. Have Monterey Pop Festival on DVD, Woodstock and just about every Hendrix concert on DVD. The complete Ed Sullivan series pop/rock bands on DVD, etc., etc., etc. Also, Shindig and Hullabaloo! I love living in the past!
Wow, Chris Farlowe! One of the best blue-eyed soul singers ever! People have to stop remembering him as a singer who just records the Stones. His record with The HiII is another masterpiece.
Always the creative juice's flowed in that band & the various line up changes . Good ole Dave Clemson ,man what musical change going from jazz rock to full blown in your face Humble Pie filling the space Peter left . Always loved this band especially when Gary Moore took his turn . Super players all.. & how cool was Chris Farlow,
Today arrived the DVD with this performance (and it was without the introduction of the lady). Two weeks ago I barely ever heard of this band and love every minute of listening to them. And Beatclub was a great TV show in Germany.
I have been lucky enough to see Jon Hiseman a few times over the years - Colosseum, Tempest, Colosseum II and the Coloseum 'revival' in the 90s. I have never even tried to play the drums, but have a good appreciation of a drummer's work being a bass player (let's get all the jokes out now guys) and for me there were none better. One of my most treasured possessions is the broken end of one of Jon's sticks which I captured after a Tempest gig at Kent University back in the 70s (I'm not sad, I just get attached to stuff!). My daughter had a boyfriend who was a drummer, I took them to see Jon at the Brook in Southampton in the 90's, I still remember him sitting there with his mouth open, and his comment "He is playing triples! With both feet!!"
Kris G - Been a rock drummer for 55 years. I know quite a few high octane rock and jazz drummers. Been on stage with some of them. Sorry, we all never heard of Jon Hiseman.
Amazing, another gem unearthed from the Beat Club vaults, just as if time travel had been discovered! Very talented musicians with a very distinctive and original sound, but regretfully never got the airplay in the UK that they deserved (a familiar tale). Thanks to Beat Club for recording this and other gems for posterity and many thanks for sharing.
Chris Farlowes unverwechselbare Stimme und eine 1970 „neue“ Musik, die mir mein damaliger Latein-Professor (!!! 😊) dringend empfohlen und mir sogar seine LP geliehen hatte. Nach dem Anhören dann selbst gekauft (und natürlich noch immer in der Sammlung). Eine ebenfalls tolle Version ist auf „Colosseum LIVE“, wobei mir der mit Orgel und Schlagzeug gnadenlos treibende Rhythmus von „Lost Angeles“ immer noch ausnehmend gut gefällt. Auch hörenswert Colosseums Fassung von Jack Bruce‘ „Theme for an imaginary Western“, das Viele nur von Mountain kennen.
Ja dieses Doppelalbum habe ich mir damals in der Kärntner Straße in Wien gekauft. Eine der besten Platten, obwohl auch die anderen Colosseum-Alben wie z.B. Valentyne Suite nicht zu verachten sind.
The blond guy guitarist played with a one album wonder band called Bakerloo. Killer lp!! Ok, that's Dave 'Clem' Clempson. Later went on to join Humble Pie. Amazing guitarists.
One of the best rock lineups of all time: Farlowe / Clempson / Greenslade / Heckstall-Smith / Hiseman / Clark... Daughter of Time is one of my favorite records!
A wonderfully tight yet somehow loosely intuitive and instinctive band at the same time. Full of spirit and sonic textures. Oh and those rhythm signature changes.
It's the variety of the music though that's the main thing.. all different types of different influences unlike today where everything is quite uniform... At least on the radio it is
Had the album Daughter of Time from the 70s. Always my favourite Colosseum album. An album I would play and my friends listening would say - Wow who is this? Clem Clempson reminds me of a young Alex Lifeson in this video.
This song was released the year that I was born. I think that my uncle played this song for me while we were reading comic books. I was about 10 or so.
Fantastic instrumentation. It makes me feel slightly ill to think of the multitude of gorgeous music scattered across the internet that I will never hear. At least this performance now resides within the shallow pool of that which I have heard
A person can spend a lifetime learning about the music from that period. At the time, FM radio didn't operate from playlists and a lot of different stuff was on the airwaves. Just depended on the knowledge and tastes of the DJs. Still only a small cross section was heard, of course.
Well, let me get you started. 1 Atomic Rooster 2 Tucky Buzzard 3 Hard Stuff 4 Iron Claw 5 Bakerloo 6 Fuzzy Duck 7 Trapeze 8 Alpha Centauri 9 Tommy Bolin 10 Three Man Army 11 Gurvitz Baker Army All are killer bands from the 70's that played blues hard rock!
i love the way this drummer moves the air away from the skins.....this band is a few cuts above mainstream rock....very original approach yo music... i must find more of them.
More footage of that incredible Band. More Farlowe. I have seen them twice live, interesting how clem improved his solo skills over the time. My favorite band forever
es una banda británica de jazz rock y jazz fusión, que estuvo activa entre 1968 y 1971, con una segunda etapa entre 1975 y 1978, y finalmente nuevamente activos desde 1994 hasta la actualidad.
There are far more deserving singers who could be called 'greatest of all time' in Rock--Steve Marriott, Steve Winwood, Paul Rodgers, Gary Brooker, Terry Reid, et al.
I'm 6 months old and I love this.
I'm 15 years old and I just bought my first Colosseum record. This is a masterpiece!
Very cool! This was one of my favorite songs when I was 15 :)
Which one did you buy?
@@kmusicmagazine For Those About To Die
Good man! Colosseum were outstanding musicians.
I strongly recommend to buy "COLOSSEUM LIVE" as next very soon. This was the absolute favorite in my youth. You will simply be blown away, but watch out not to get LOST in ANGELES
Chris Farlowe is easily the most undervalued singer in modern music, and I'm not even exaggerating. He is an animal of its own kind.
I simply adore him.
I agree. Too bad I just discovered him a year ago. He was eating a sandwich singing Black Snake. He should have reached super stardom...
Sounds, and even looks like Arthur Brown
Dick Heckstall-Smith on saxes, Clem Clempson on guitar, John Hiseman on drums
Clem was in the mix to replace Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple, but they went with Tommy Bolin.
In the world of Jazz/Rock Fusion this band is the composed of the bestmusicians that ever played together. Hiseman was the best drummer ever, God rest his soul.
Colosseum were a monster of a band. Every member was a virtuoso!
agreed!!
One of the best
Love farlowe and his mannerisms
Real instruments, real musicians, real talent, much harder to find these days.
Chris Farlowe is amazing, he started his singing career in 1957 - and he has gig dates booked in 2021! He is now 80 (in 2020) and still singing live! 😎
That's awesome to hear. Very unique singer
I read that the band reunited earlier this year
he has great energy
and he still cuts it and blows a mean blues harmonica, all power to him, I spoke to him a while back and he came across as a really interesting person!
@@DavidB.Rockin they're probably doing the bowling alley tour.
i was with band Karakorum and we supported Colosseum several times in 1970, great times, great people, our drummer was Martin Chambers
Did I see you in Worcester supporting Duster Bennett?
that is quite likely
@@ted149
I think I remember a Columbus guitar and a lot of swooshing…
Musical excellence!
I turned 13 years old in 1970 and I wish I could be taken back to that wonderful and interesting time in music!

13 in 1970 also!

ATOMIC ROOSTER
Chris Farlowe has soul when he sings, you can feel it in his style of singing, a true one of a kind, bravissimo.
I’m a fan of his vocal stylings which I hear as very much based in the blues.
This song is too damn good. I come back to it pretty often. Especially love the piano in the beginning.
Evaristo: it's lovely you recognized the piano in the beginning. And that we all let special things of performances get into our lifes.
Fantastic song great musicians and Chris farlowe really feels the music. Brilliant.
What a live performance! Thank you is not enough.
Ditto.👍
Great Chris and the Band. Love it. x
Ich habe vorher noch nie von dieser Band gehört. Ich bin begeistert👍
What an absolute gem incredibly talented bunch of musicians and my favourite track off the rather excellent Daughter of Time album
Love the track as well. Too bad the album version has such a strange stereo panning and a way too strong reverb on the vocals.

Jon Hiseman is one of the greatest drummers in the world - right up there with John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Colosseum kann man NICHT übertreffen...
This takes me back.
Fantastic band 😊
I can't believe this is 50 years old. Excellent quality.
Saw them at the Albert Hall, brilliant, later met and talked to Dick Heckstall Smith at a local pub...music to die for
Jon Hiseman is my all time favourite drummer.
Kris G - Who??????

This track has got real soul read in to it. Great singer and top band. They were the days!
I’m embarrassed. I forgot about these guys. Great band. Under rated. Thanks for reminding me.
Yes ! Me too !! I rediscover this great band !! Some of them have been forgotten, and it's a shame !!
Almost as good as Spinal Tap. This is stupid and deserves to be forgotten.
fantastic band, got all their records....totally underrated a great era of UK music
Absolute CLASS in every respect, they deserved to be up there with the really big names.
Simply Great !

Saw Clemson in the 1970's with Humble Pie in St. Louis MO USA shortly after he replaced Peter Frampton. Best concert I ever saw.
I saw a lot of good concerts in St. Louis. The old Kiel, the Arena, yeah.
great tune
Un groupe fantastique, des musiciens incroyables! vive Colosseum
Jon Hiseman was a legendary Drummer and one of my mentors🥢
I discovered it with John Mayall and the Barewires album. It is true that it is great!
He's excellent.
one of the very best. rip

@Kevin James Colosseum II but was not that good and Humble Pie without Frampton eigher not that good.
Never heard of them. Wow so different. Love this!
ALOT of talent there.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a fenomenal band! Colosseum - Live is still one of my favourtite Live albums of all time. (Between Playing The Fool and Third.)
take me back....to when music like this was on tv! holy crap! thanks youtube algorithm for the suggestion!
One of the best rock lineups of all time: Farlowe / Clempson / Greenslade / Heckstall-Smith / Hiseman / Clark... Daughter of Time is one of my favorite records!
This is a thing of beauty.
If i'm not mistaken, the singer also fronted Atomic Rooster!
Yep
Chris Farlowe.
One of a kind
I was about to say he looked a wee bit familiar.
indeed...chris farlowe
I totally forgot that he was a member of this band! 😅
Without his sandwich he's a bit harder to recognise, I admit :P
Great band. One of my favourites. Wonderful musicians. John Hiseman was a very underrated drummer. RIP John Hiseman and Dick Heckstall-Smith
A wonderfully tight yet somehow loosely intuitive and instinctive band at the same time. Full of spirit and sonic textures. Oh and those rhythm signature changes.

Lucky you had the chance to watch Atomic Rooster live
@@mautnerr Yes, it was a great experience for me, they were amazing back in 1972 !
I cant stand the key board player in atomic rooster. Hes a cowboy thats all hat, no cattle.

It's the variety of the music though that's the main thing.. all different types of different influences unlike today where everything is quite uniform... At least on the radio it is
@@paulgentile1024 Wait, that noise on the radio is music? Crap.

Great drummer and that kit is beautiful.that purple sparkle wrap is amazing.
It’s Burgundy Sparkle....Think it is a Gretsch set....

Uma das minhas preferidas. Seleto grupo de grandes músicos
This song was released the year that I was born. I think that my uncle played this song for me while we were reading comic books. I was about 10 or so.
I keep coming back to these few minutes of footage of this colossal band. It captures them at their absolute peak. Much too short.
Dick Heckstall Smith is a very underrated musician. He is so good!
he WAS so good... he died in 2004 unfortunately
Dick Heckstall Smith is my main man. Check out his autobiography "Blowing The Blues."
Dick used to give me sax lessons in the 80s. What a cat!!
Why do people say underrated? He most definitely wasn't.
I had the good fortune to meet Dick and speak with him at a small Dorset venue around 1991, a very humble and talented fella.
Certainly takes me back. Awesome.
Fantastic instrumentation. It makes me feel slightly ill to think of the multitude of gorgeous music scattered across the internet that I will never hear. At least this performance now resides within the shallow pool of that which I have heard

Fantastic
still love it!!
Dave Clem Clemson on lead guitar. I loved his work with Humble Pie. His guitar work on the Smokin lp was awesome
Absolutely!
Jon was in many good bands, but never seemed to break through fully. He was an incredible drummer.
He has fake soul and it shows. His "looseness" is played with contempt for the very act
i love the way this drummer moves the air away from the skins.....this band is a few cuts above mainstream rock....very original approach yo music... i must find more of them.
