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 RU-vid 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 RU-vid, 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,
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.
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!!"
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I've been listening and adventuring through the music of the 60s and 70s for a long time but man, i've never seen a guy playing sax and a clarinet at the SAME TIME, colosseum got me very surprised since i started to listen to them, amazing band for sure
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
I had the pleasure of meeting Chris in 2970 at his flat above his military shop in Islington with my friend Lea Hargreaves a great pleasure to meet stitch a genuine and interesting guy I have always been a fan of
