Just when I think I've heard everything, something like this surfaces - phenomenal is all I can say. If Jack Bruce had ever played with Beck, this is what it would have sounded like! But these guys, all stars in their own right, are all holding their own, not a bad note, truly amazing! RIP Cozy and Jack!
Plus Beck liked female bass players who stood in background until Jeff was ready to let them shine! Jack wasn't gonna play that game! No matter who he was playing with Clapton Leslie West, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore or Clemson Jack NEVER stood in the background! NEVER!
Cozy Powell (birth name 'Colin Flooks') (drums), Dave 'Clem' Clempson (guitar), Jack Bruce (bass), Don Airey (keys), Max Middelton (keys). Recorded live at the Paris Theatre, London, Jan 9/1980. Broadcast on BBC Jan. 12/1980.
So much talent on the album 'Over The Top', but when i first heard it in 1984, it was Jack Bruce's bass playing (and whole approach to music) that absolutely floored me, and continues to do so even to this day. But like i say, the whole ensemble really did blow me away, and still does. Such an underrated album! And sadly, we have lost so many of the people who appeared on the album. RIP Cozy, Jack, Gary Moore, Bernie Marsden, and anyone else i may have overlooked. Wonderful album
I actually OWNED an Aria Pro II Bass just like this one! Man, what a LOG that was! Much respect to Jack for what he was able to do with it! About the best live version of this track I've seen on vid. Still, Gary Moore's playing on the original Studio Release (including the screaming "Blues Finish" [omitted here] ) IS TRULY "Over The Top"!! 🎸🏁
Holy smokes what intensity! How on edge was that. Cozy is incredible and man Jack and the rest are right there with him. Incredible! Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing. I knew Jack played on Cozy Powells solo record- with Jeff Beck no less. But never heard of this. Clem Clempson played with Jack on a couple records. And here they are with Max Middletown for the Jeff Beck Group. TH-cam always surprises! 🎉
The first to play that kind beat of double bass drum was Billy Cobham on 1973´s Quadrant 4 . Van Halen also copied on hot for teacher . Props to Mr Cobham for inspiring great drummers
I had some of this on CD with cozy Powell one of the top greatest drummer of all time From Bedlam great Lp too rainbow then his solo career then MSG then went to WhiteSnake .
This track truly takes your breath away! Damn, if you ever have to explain what 'cookin' means (as far as a groove)... I present, exhibit A! These guys are on FIRE! Thanks as always for releasing these lost gems!
I found this album (Over the top - Cozy Powell) in '80/'81 and I can tell you this is the album I listened the most in all my life! An absolute masterpiece.
Nope. Cobham. Alex and Ed used to terrify other musicians in their early days by ripping through "Quadrant 4" at soundchecks. It is the double bass shuffle version 1.0.
@@Zaraduba that's what I thought too, but then I discovered that the first one playing this beat was Carmine Appice with Cactus on a track called Parchman Farm.
Billy Cobham and Jack Bruce toured together, along with Clem Clempson and David Sancious, under the name Jack Bruce and Friends, sometime around 1980. (I saw them at a small venue in Tempe AZ around that time, and as would be expected with that line-up, they were amazing.) You can usually find videos of them on youtube if you search.
Clem Clemson. One of the best guitarists no one has ever heard of! Never got the recognition he deserves.
Loved him now, and when he was with Humble Pie, long ago!
Being a huge Humble Pie fan, I knew
Bakerloo and Jon Hiseman
First time here and I'm impressed and pleased.
He was pretty well known as far as I'm concerned playing in numerous collaborations.
The late Colin Flooks, better known by fans of drumming as COZY POWELL. One the greatest double kickers ever!
Don Airey AND Max Middleton.
When Cozy puts a band together, it’s OVER THE TOP!
I get the pun.😂 I have all cozy albums
Fantastic cozy..Jack.. don airey..over the top great album..cozy one of my fave drummers..top drawer 👍 gazz
the guitarist hogs it, there should be keyboard solos.
BONZO !!!!!@@barrybrodin7085

I agree! I saw an interview where he seemed to be not too crazy about Jeff, maybe JB HQ can lend some insight into that dynamic.
Yes. Shades of blow by blow.
Me too..known of both but never together..man what a sound!!
Well it sounds this good BECAUSE he's playing with the GREAT Clem Clemson! 🤔🤯
Plus Beck liked female bass players who stood in background until Jeff was ready to let them shine! Jack wasn't gonna play that game! No matter who he was playing with Clapton Leslie West, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore or Clemson Jack NEVER stood in the background! NEVER!
Had Cozy lived, he might've turned out to be one of the best drummers ever! RIP, buddy!
He was, and is!
He already WAS
Jack was and still is my absolute bass hero👍He's sadly missed😢R. I. P❤💐🇫🇷
He was the best all around musician/composer of our generation. He defined the bass, and it's role in every genre of music. Jack was a genius.
Man forgot how good cozy was👍👍🔥
Super playing by all Jack, of course... But Cozy was beyond kickn it especially in that time era✌️👍💥
Easily as good as Bonham.
love Jack Bruce bass lines here
Just another day at the office for Mr Bruce!
For appointments just see the secretary at the front desk to schedule your date and Mr. Bruce will be there. (!)

OUTSTANDING WORK! DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!
I still have the whole performance on tape and I believe the recording is still easy enough to find out there
Why have I not heard of cozy Powell ???
❤❤❤❤
Lord have mercy! What a spectacular group of musicians.
My sentiments exactly!!! Wow!!!!
Cozy powell wins the coolest looking drummer contest. He's
great at drums too !

The tune is called Killer, and well, it is a Killer Tune !!!
Breathtaking.....watching all those people from Cream, Jeff Beck Group, Humble Pie, Colosseum 2 in a single band is just amazing!! What a super group!
Clem one of the most underrated 🎸 in the 🌍
Incredible. Just Incredible.
Big cream fan🎉 but this was ice cream cake beck ish❤ uh-huh. Love clem❤ great in h.pie
The drumming is pure talent.
I loved Clem from Collosseum, glad to see him again here with Jack and Cozy. Great
My yes good choice of tunes.
Killer noise ❤ !
Cozy Powell the best!!!
The good old days 🙏🙏👌
Colosseum!! As innovative as they come for their era!! Love this!
This is not Colosseum. This is Cozy’s stuff from his ‘Over The Top’ album, released in ‘79. Colosseum was Jon Hiseman’s band.
What a line up! Great performance from all. And yes, reminiscent of the mighty Jeff! 💥
This is a blast from the past for me......I had the Cozy Powell LP this song was on....I remember it was a killer LP.
Absolutely Brilliant Musician's!!!!
Very reminiscent of Billy Cobham, clearly inspired by his earlier album Spectrum. Great track and as others have said very influenced by Jeff Beck too
Can listen to stuff like this all day long!!!!
From Cozy album over the top wow wow wow
Cozy's best album!!!!
@@CarlosRCTapiaAlvarado yesss sir!!!
A Classic!
I like Tilt better but they are both good
Outstanding! Clem has always been the real deal, and god how I miss Jack.
Cozy at or near his peak along with outstanding musicians. Sizzling track!!
Cozy....legend !!!!
STILL in 2024!!!!
Cozy is the Man!!!!
1st time of hearing this and I am very much enjoying this a good mix of talented musicians great.
What a performance!

Fantastic. I have the original LP OVER THE TOP. Many greetings from Germany : - )
What a team and what a fusion.
FAB STUFF!

Superb.
What a Line Up 🎹🎤🥁🎸🫡⚡🔥😎🤘
A gathering of BEASTS !!!Like they had been playing for years together.
Mr Powell....Absolute!!!!
Brilliant. Tight and bang on. You won't see that these days.
Absolutely ♥️, fantastic performance music. Masters.

This is 4 years before Hot for Teacher 😮
I bought the same bass four years after this. Aria Pro II
Wow! So cool. Rock icons doing jazz fusion. Who would've thunk?
WOW! Clem's a fkn ripper, man!
Great bass tone recorded well as usual!
Super group
Friday rock show back in the day.
Swingin baby! Train with no breaks! 🖖🚀
Group of super genius musicians.
日本では、クレム氏の名前は、ロック好きの方でもあまり知られていないが、ピッキング、チョーキング、ビブラート、フレーズ等、全て、お手本になるプレイです✨ベイカールーから始まり、コロシアム、ハンブル・パイ、ラフ・ダイアモンド、チャンピオン等、数々の作品に参加されて、素晴らしいプレイを残していらっしゃいます🎉JCMは、残念でした😢未発表作品、機会があれば聴きたいです❤
Cozy was not messing around on this track.
Loved Cozy!
Wow, I see the origins of Hot for Teacher by VH...
I had some of this on CD with cozy Powell one of the top greatest drummer of all time From Bedlam great Lp too rainbow then his solo career then MSG then went to WhiteSnake .
How good is this.❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing this over the top
When you contrast that to the pish on offer today.. wow
Times change. Most dads would have called this pish, back in the day.
@@iananderson3799they were wrong then though 😊
@@NoisyNeighbours-Blues-Band
Opinions, opinions, opinions. 💋
and to think Jeff Beck left Cozy and the Rough and Ready Band to play with Carmine and Tim still boggles the mind.
Cozy played with logs, not sticks.
You're so right. I've got one of his sticks after a Whitesnake gig in Hammersmith. 👍
Yeah, I find when doing triplets using larger sticks makes the timing easier
super. благодарю за видео отличного исполнения на гитаре и барабанах.
Wow! Somebody's been listening to a lot of Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer!
This track truly takes your breath away! Damn, if you ever have to explain what 'cookin' means (as far as a groove)... I present, exhibit A! These guys are on FIRE! Thanks as always for releasing these lost gems!
this is a original gary moore song with Cozy. listen to the original.
He has his Rainbow drum heads.
GREAT GUITAR. LEGEND
this is Gary moores Hurricane
love Cozy....
And this was one year before “Space Boogie” interesting 😅🤩
Great jammer of a song.👍🎼🎶🎵🎸🥁🍻🍺
Amazing musicians, amazing music.
Los obligados muy bellos y Cozy un dios!
My god that was awesome.
Absolutamente espetacular!!! Que intensidade e composição dinâmicas!!! Pérolas!!
I found this album (Over the top - Cozy Powell) in '80/'81 and I can tell you this is the album I listened the most in all my life! An absolute masterpiece.
Octopus is great too (as I'm sure you know 😉).
Brilliant track. Very tasty runs in this one
Cozy mistrz świata, wspaniała ekipa
Damn, Cozy chopped up that drumset like it was firewood!
Gary Moore played this on the album.
Sounds so like (unsurprisingly)some of the jazz fusion of Colosseum ll….which I also loved.
Simplesmente fantástico 😮
magnificent drummer ive tried double bass drum its hard as fuck i can play it but this is fantastic and a great band to
see where Alex Van Halen got his intro from for Hot for Teacher
Also listen to Space Boogie from the Jeff Beck album There and Back.
It had Simon Phillips on drums

O Cozy Powell foi um dos maiores bateristas de todos os tempos,considerando qualquer estilo ou gênero musical!
This is giving me Billy Cobham Stratus vibes.

Saw them in March 1980.......W/ Cobham and Sancious. Philadelphia Temple University
reminds me so much o f the dreggs... great stuff!
A drumming that Animal would have been proud of! ❤
Cozy , Don….🔥👍
1980. Punk had come and gone. Yet Rock music was still alive and kicking.
