Sadly Colosseum could withstand the loss of several of its most brilliant musicians but not the loss of Jon. Thank God for video recordings which will allow us to continue to enjoy their music and performance way into the future.
If I was allowed to listen to only one guitar solo ever, it would be this or one from Lost Angeles from Colosseum Live..... Clem Clempson is underrated genius....
I know all the Collosseum Songs of the early 70's , but this reunion Concert are the best Collosseum ever , with a brilliant Solo of Clem Clempson , awesome !
Clem Clempson is possibly the most underrated guitar player ever. In the early 70's I adored his "Lost Angeles" solo from the Colosseum Live 1971 album, but dammit, this performance is as good if not better! In between 71 and 94 he was involved in other projects but Colosseum was the one that made him shine. He has that Gibson Burstbucker tone that made Eric Clapton famous. However, as good as E.C. used to be, I have to say that Clem beats him with his best Colosseum performances. Absolutely brilliant!
What a great and overlooked Progressive Rock/Fusion band. Jon and Dick coming from John Mayall and plowing new ground. Clem, you wrote an epic anthem. This performance is equal to the studio version, and yet better in some ways. God bless 'em.
Just amazing how many great musicians came through the John Mayall academy (Eric and Peter seem to hog the front page but just look at drummers alone...........)
I thumbs downed this video, because I have the original album and this is a poor shadow of that. I know every note of the original. This makes me cringe with disappointment, much as I love the band and the original album.
I played that song a thousand times as a kid (I'm 64)...he took some improvisational license with that solo (I'm sure he could have played it note-for-note if he chose)...but it was just as good (subjectively, even better), as the original off the album.
@@paulbeligni4525 And the brilliant original guitar solo was by James Litherland. Jon Hiseman decided to remove it from some of the CD releases of the original album.
One of the best constructed solos ever!

Agreed! I just watched this whole 1994 concert last night and it blew me away!

Did you see/hear him with Jack Bruce? For example on "Ships in the night" (Birthday Concert in Cologne), or "Jack Bruce and Friends" live, aso ... ?
Oldies, but goldies :)))) I love the first formation of Colloseum! Regards from Bulgaria.

Great musicianship all the way around. Jon Hiseman is outstanding.
OMG THAT SOLO WITH JON AND CLEM!!!! OMG!
50 years miracle
I am enjoying every time I watch this video. Colosseum is a really great band (not quartet with Gary Moore, but the first one). Absolutely great!!
totally one of the best guitar solos I have heard in quite some time, and a great band putting it all together!

There's Robin Trower, Joe Bonamassa and there's Clem Clempson....Of course so many others...But you can link the similarities here..
este dvd debería estar en LP record vinyl 33 rpm
Indeed, the LP is called The Grass Is Greener and as I know were issued in the US only, This song appeared on the live with same name also
L'esordio ha un che di Van der Graaf Generator...
Just amazing how many great musicians came through the John Mayall academy (Eric and Peter seem to hog the front page but just look at drummers alone...........)
For goodness sake, Clem is better than any guitarist on this planet:)
Find someone who looks like you like clem does with his guitar
Awfully right. Vero purtroppo
