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
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. UA-cam always surprises! 🎉
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 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.
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"!! 🎸🏁
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 .
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.
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.
As noted by FrancoBlancoDrummer (below), Carmine Appice - in typical form - beat the rest of them to the double bass up-tempo with 'Parchman Farm'. Recorded at the end of 1968, it was released on the debut album from Cactus, July 1st, 1970. Here it is, with Camine's Vanilla Fudge bass buddy Tim Bogert, Rusty Day of (Ted Nugent's) Amboy Dukes on vocal, and Jim McCarty of Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels on guitar. Chrissie Hynde cites McCarty and the Detroit Wheels as being one of his major inspirations. Carmine's influence on the drum set and drumming deserves a much bigger and brighter spotlight. Too many (younger) players start their timeline with Zeppelin, Sabbath, Van Halen etc. But there was great (typically better) stuff happening before their arrival. Here is 'Parchman Farm', with some blistering double bass boogie. Also go listen to Jeff Beck's 'Space Boogie', with Simon Phillips drumming. ua-cam.com/video/d_y_m0mImGw/v-deo.html
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!
Thanks. Been listening to Bands with Cozy for over 50 years. I didn't know His real name.
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

But these guys, all stars in their own right, are all holding their own, not a bad note, truly amazing! RIP Cozy and Jack!
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!
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.
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. (!)
@@prajnachan333 nice one
Super playing by all Jack, of course... But Cozy was beyond kickn it especially in that time era✌️👍💥
Easily as good as Bonham.
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.
Sounds like a funked up Brand X
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
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
Man forgot how good cozy was👍👍🔥
Lord have mercy! What a spectacular group of musicians.
My sentiments exactly!!! Wow!!!!
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!
Incredible. Just Incredible.
Big cream fan🎉 but this was ice cream cake beck ish❤ uh-huh. Love clem❤ great in h.pie
Cozy powell wins the coolest looking drummer contest. He's
great at drums too !
Cozy....legend !!!!
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
I loved Clem from Collosseum, glad to see him again here with Jack and Cozy. Great
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!!!!

Agree - I loved Over The Top and played it to death! 😂
Cozy Powell the best!!!
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.
The drumming is pure talent.
Cozy at or near his peak along with outstanding musicians. Sizzling track!!
STILL in 2024!!!!
Outstanding! Clem has always been the real deal, and god how I miss Jack.
Clem one of the most underrated 🎸 in the 🌍
What a team and what a fusion.
What a line up! Great performance from all. And yes, reminiscent of the mighty Jeff! 💥
Fantastic. I have the original LP OVER THE TOP. Many greetings from Germany : - )
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.

Absolutely ♥️, fantastic performance music. Masters.
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
Group of super genius musicians.
The good old days 🙏🙏👌
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.
love Jack Bruce bass lines here
Great bass tone recorded well as usual!
Loved Cozy!
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 😉).
Amazing musicians, amazing music.

1st time of hearing this and I am very much enjoying this a good mix of talented musicians great.
Absolutamente espetacular!!! Que intensidade e composição dinâmicas!!! Pérolas!!
A gathering of BEASTS !!!Like they had been playing for years together.
Super group
Can listen to stuff like this all day long!!!!
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. 💋
How good is this.❤❤❤❤
What a performance!
Brilliant track. Very tasty runs in this one
Swingin baby! Train with no breaks! 🖖🚀
Why have I not heard of cozy Powell ???
❤❤❤❤
My god that was awesome.
Все прекрасные инструменталисты!
Спасибо...
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
Wow! So cool. Rock icons doing jazz fusion. Who would've thunk?
Beautiful.
Brilliant. Tight and bang on. You won't see that these days.
GREAT GUITAR. LEGEND
How did they not come flying apart in the middle of this??? Amazing…❤
3:25The beat got turned around for a few seconds-Cozy brought it back at 3;34😂❤
super. благодарю за видео отличного исполнения на гитаре и барабанах.
Great jammer of a song.👍🎼🎶🎵🎸🥁🍻🍺
Great slot for Jack Bruce.
Bloody marvellous stuff!!!
Thanks for sharing this over the top
Wow! Just WOW!
My yes good choice of tunes.
Killer noise ❤ !
O Cozy Powell foi um dos maiores bateristas de todos os tempos,considerando qualquer estilo ou gênero musical!
Wasn't Clem Clempson in Humble Pie? I definitely remember his name from somewhere.
Wiki says he replaced Frampton in HP. Also that he auditioned for DP as Blackmore’s replacement, but Bolin was chosen instead.
@@jaykeehan5813 Yes he did for the album 'Smokin' by Humble Pie.
Clem also played for Colosseum in the late 60's, he is an amazingly talented guitar player
@@jaykeehan5813As history has proved it, a bad decision. 🤦♂️
I think he also played for Alex Harvey at one time.
Mr Powell....Absolute!!!!
FAB STUFF!
Superb.
This is 4 years before Hot for Teacher 😮
Friday rock show back in the day.
Ribadisco tempi meravigliosi ❤
Cozy was not messing around on this track.
Wish there were more shots of Jack..
Me too!!!😢
Cozy is the Man!!!!
Simplesmente fantástico 😮
Los obligados muy bellos y Cozy un dios!
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 .
Awesome drum work! 👍🏻

Saw them in March 1980.......W/ Cobham and Sancious. Philadelphia Temple University
I bought the same bass four years after this. Aria Pro II
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
@@simoncbr900rr"Quadrant 4" -Billy Cobham's first 😉

and to think Jeff Beck left Cozy and the Rough and Ready Band to play with Carmine and Tim still boggles the mind.
reminds me so much o f the dreggs... great stuff!
love Cozy....
Que época de boas músicas feitas por monstros em seus instrumentos🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻
Gary Moore played this on the album.
Incred😢jam here by these guys.
What a Line Up 🎹🎤🥁🎸🫡⚡🔥😎🤘
Thats one hell of a workout
Huuuh?? This is incredible!!
The tune is called Killer, and well, it is a Killer Tune !!!
Espectacular el bajo de Mr Jackson Bruce.
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❤
There was a second song on this broadcast wasn't there?
There were 5 or 6, I've got the tape I recorded at the time kicking around somewhere
One was Jack's Tickets to the Waterfalls
