As a drummer myself (although not in the same sport never mind league as Jon Hiseman) I first saw Colosseum at the Bath festiuval and remember Jon's full on solo. I then saw him them at Bromley College where for some reason the social committee hadn't advertised the event and so they had no money to pay the band! The band agreed to play a 'rehearsal' (i.e. for free) of what turned out to be the album Colosseum Live in front of less than 100 fans; it was a fantastic night and a close up view of the master at work. Saw him again with Tempest in 1974 ish and from then on sadly never again live.. Fantastic drummer and I could never understand why Jon's name never appeared on the many lists of top drummers...
