Whitesnake - 1983-08-20 Castle Donington Monsters Of Rock - Cozy Powell Drum Solo

[@jonselby1879]

brilliant was the best happy days

[@frankleclercq3593]

The first time I hear that since 1983! Like discovering a lost treasor for me. Didn't remember it was a symphonic drum solo. Maybe one day we could hear it remastered in the way we heard it that night, I mean trought the 4 speakers towers in a circular patern because nowdays we have home theaters in 5.1

[@sranzaric9058]

Thank you very mjuch. I hope some day the complete Donington 1983 will emerge, including the encores Thank you blues, Wine, women and song and Don't break my heart again.

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

So do I. How did this just appear after all these years on? I was there.

What a drummer

[@rasmusheide6152]

This is amazing. Remember, within a span of just a few years, fans could go and see this solo played with Rainbow, Michael Schenker, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, ELP and others.

[@Snakehead1964]

The solo some monthes later was a different one :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWiok2Wnr7Cnh7c

[@Dibbdroid]

It was only 1812 overture with Rainbow, the Dambusters section added with Whitesnake and in 84 the Holst Mars solo. Sabbath was 1812 again.

[@KKJardine]

Was there

[@deborahbutler739]

quite possibly the best drummer soloist and you turn the lights off people want to see and hear drum solos

[@andrewthorpe7882]

poor video and lighting technician i know its about drums no one ever sees the drummer but to do a solo in the dark i mean put a guitarist on stage and everybody wants to see him play so why not cozy a fantastic drummer if i was there i d want to see him play not hide in the shadows or in the poor lighting technician interpretation of a drum solo should look like he is as important as any guitarist

[@Snakehead1964]

Unfortunately that's all what is there from that solo

[@andrewthorpe7882]

i agree but i m saying see the fantastic drummer i know its all about lights but there should be some times solos should be seen and heard i know it was the gig and how it was shot its a shame cozy powell cannot be seen in this and pity more videos of him over the years werent shot of him and this particular silo ia lit up version

[@Snakehead1964]

@@andrewthorpe7882 I think that Cozy sometimes simply was the victim of his own visual effects ;-) You turn the light down to watch all that fire and explosions and smoke. Like here some monthes earlier in Osaka: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5apq5tuitF9fqM
