Die erste Scheibe, die ich mir von Colosseum gekauft habe war das legendäre Live Album. Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern, als das erste Mal Lost Angeles gehört. Mir blieb die Spucke weg (und bleibt sie noch heute, wenn ich die Scheibe auflege).
Ich hab Colosseum danach noch mehrfach mit ihm gesehen und auch Colosseum II mit Gary More und Don Airey. Was für geile Musiker. Und da oben sind in der Zwischenzeit eine ganze Menge, mit denen er den Haufen da oben mal auf Trab bringt!!!... Collapse

I saw Jon in a Jazz concert of his wife Barbara' s Paraphernalia band many years ago in Estoril, Portugal. Both great musicians and Jon is still my favourite drummer since Tempest and Colosseum.
They both left us too soon.
My respects.... Collapse

I met Jon and Barbara following a gig at Band on the Wall, Manchester. Both were lovely & Jon was a complete gentleman, happy to chat and sign some records I'd taken with me.
I first encountered Jon & Colosseum on the Supershow film, recorded in 1969. I watched this with a friend who is a pro drummer. His jaw hit the floor and he excitedly asked me "(expletives deleted...Andy.. who's the drummer ???"
Great player & he won't be forgotten.... Collapse

I was a wannabe drummer in my youth. The two most amazing drummers I have ever seen were Jon Hiseman and Neil Peart (Rush). Different styles, but both phenomenal players. Unfortunately they are both gone... RIP.... Collapse

I turned drummer after Colosseum Live album in 1971. I led bands all my life "playing" 'em like u dear friend did and teached to do. Met u in Torino in 1974 when on tour with Tempest and in 1976 with Colosseum II. I did distribute Paiste Cymbals & Gongs in Italy in the 80s and we met many times during shows and trade shows. Always an inspiration for all friends and musicians u did so much for the drumming community Jon. This is immortality. Thank you Sir from the bottom of my heart. Your italian friend Paolo....

Sad to hear of Jon's death. Like a lot of other great drummers I've known from afar, he made me feel incompetent on the drums. Makes you wonder what its all about. I loved that he did it with his wife. A lovely story.... Collapse
