Cozy Powell's drumming prowess is truly legendary. From his iconic solo pieces like 'Dance with the Devil' to his collaborations with renowned bands such as Rainbow, Whitesnake, and Black Sabbath, Powell has left an indelible mark on the world of rock and roll. His unique style and unparalleled skill have inspired countless drummers and music enthusiasts worldwide. It's always a treat to revisit his performances and be reminded of the sheer talent and passion he brought to every beat. A true icon in the history of rock music.
Power and passion, ine of the GREATEST drummers in music history. Cozy, you ARE the best!!!! I saw you in Argentina with Brian May and you blew me away!! Love you always❤.
Love how at the end Ritchie looks back and smiles at Cozy. Beautiful! Cozy Powell was one of the very few people capable of impressing Ritchie Blackmore. Extraordinary drummer.
Ritchie did have a way of eeking out the best of his band , whichever band he was in. Then again he could fire you without a reason. He was quirky that way. Cozy didn’t need Ritchie anyway.
Yeah, man. He's one of the very, very best. I've been listening to him since The Jeff Beck Group, circa 1972. Check him out on Kill The King by Rainbow. Another UNbelievable performance. Rock In Peace, Cozy!!
@unadrummer561 will do, thanks for the rec! He owns that double bass. Have u heard that double album live in Japan w/ J Beck & Carmine Appice on drums - they burn the place down.
I was fortunate enough to see Cozy Powell perform with Rainbow. Have also visited his Blue Plaque dedication in Cirencester, UK. Also loved seeing him on Tiswas, where he'd get involved in all the antics and give away bits of kit as prizes. Incomparable Legend.
As awesome as he is (Cozy will NEVER die), that ability to fluidly switch between traditional and "rock" grips while maintaining such a beautiful maelstrom is just mind blowing.
I think today this is the best drum solo of all. Of course, Cozy Powell is the best drummer of all for me, but i admit it takes time to me for appreciate the perfection of Powell-Tchaikovsky solo. Each minute of it is a perfect show of drumming, toms , cymbals, bass-drums, and power.
I love all classic rock drummers but I don't think everyone can play like a beast over a classical piece and make it sound like the drums were part of it. Truly amazing, and he so handsome and lovely. I'm a guitarist but he is one of my heroes and inspirations.
So true. I mean, for example in Whitesnake, I think Ian Paice was more suited to the band's sound, but when it comes to being EXCITING, no one came close to Cozy.
I saw him with Brian May in Argentina in 1992 and BANG!!!!! Seeing live my favourite drummer was a dream come true to me!!!! I've followed most of his career, and to me he was always the best.
Nothing matches being in the venue. The first time I witnessed this (Rising tour) it blew me apart. He did this `1812´ on the subsequent two tours and with MSG. Standing ovation every time.
OMG!! To be a bass player with Cozy on drums must have been a wet dream. Being bassman myself, I cannot fathom the room Daisley must have had in fill ins, syncopation, 16th note runs, bass drum accents and straight ahead full charging walking runs, playing with Cozy. Cozy could make even a mediocre bass player shine. A true master of rock drumming.
Ruby you can get use to it, the position, just like strapping a pro NASCAR driver into his custom fitted racing seat, tho back stretches come in pleasurably handy
@@alanfletcher9698 yes, both were awesome drummers, but pity, that a lot of good hard rock and roll/heavy metal drummers are dead or too old to paly .....
Different styles. Baker was great as well. There is no greatest. Other drummers on the same level are Ian Paice, John Bonham, Bill Ward, Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Dave Garibaldi, Earl Palmer, Steve Gadd, Bill Bruford, to name a few.
I could mention a few great drummers that would take cozy out but due to his uniqueness and skill of playing the drums he does fit in on my list as top drummer John Bonham not to mention ian paice phill Collins Niel pert nico mc brian just a few to mention ok.😮😊
Magic on a seven-piece. Cozy was (and will always be) the best.

Hard. Solid.powerful. On of the best. They don’t make like this anymore. Long live cozy.
Einer der besten Schlagzeuger aller Zeiten.Großartig.
One of the greatest drummers ever.
It just never gets any better. RIP Cozy and thank you

👏👍🤘

Cozy IS one of the BEST drummers \m/
今見てもスゲェ…
土曜午後のNHKヤングミュージックショーでコレを見たのは、高校生の頃でした。👍
I've been a drummer all my life and I just heard of this guy in 2023?! Wtf. Absolute beast!
You must be really young
@@thetiredtomcat I wish I was, unfortunately no.
Legend. R.I.P Cozy.
Yeah, man. He's one of the very, very best. I've been listening to him since The Jeff Beck Group, circa 1972. Check him out on Kill The King by Rainbow. Another UNbelievable performance. Rock In Peace, Cozy!!

Have u heard that double album live in Japan w/ J Beck & Carmine Appice on drums - they burn the place down.
One of very few genius drummers. He worked with Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake and many others. He really died too young.
R I P cozy ❤❤❤
Yes he did die to youg ❤❤❤
Jeff Beck.
And The One Time Band: Emerson Lake & Powell...
Grande Cozy, che batterista fenomenale! Che tecnica da brividi. Peccato che non ce' piu', i migliori se ne vanno sempre troppo presto.
I was fortunate enough to see Cozy Powell perform with Rainbow.
Have also visited his Blue Plaque dedication in Cirencester, UK.

His drum solo is very powerful. I want to see you again. E.L.P.
In saw this tour in '77 a few weeks after this gig, it was awesome. And Cozy's solo, spellbinding and blinding at the end!
Cozy my fav drummer .rip 😢
That's the first time a drummer has ever given me goosebumps! Even Paice or Bonham have never done that to me... Thanks for posting this!
I agree and was comparing to Baker (who I love) but this was just the best.
I saw him do this with The Brian May Band at Sheffield City Hall. Awesome.
The man was always a joy to watch, Rest in Peace Cozy .
Absolutely fantastic best drummer ever bless him shame he died so young
RIP Cozy. Already 20 years today !
As awesome as he is (Cozy will NEVER die), that ability to fluidly switch between traditional and "rock" grips while maintaining such a beautiful maelstrom is just mind blowing.
Matched grip predates Rock.

COZY made it look easy, him & Bonham were two of the best EVER!!! I was lucky enough to see both of them. RIP LEGEND’S🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love all classic rock drummers but I don't think everyone can play like a beast over a classical piece and make it sound like the drums were part of it. Truly amazing, and he so handsome and lovely. I'm a guitarist but he is one of my heroes and inspirations.
He sounds like drummer, he looks like a drummer.. that's why he's the chosen one.
I love Neil Peart's work, but DANG! I have to say Cozy was the best! Especially with the Brian May band. RIP my brother drummer. We all miss you.
So true. I mean, for example in Whitesnake, I think Ian Paice was more suited to the band's sound, but when it comes to being EXCITING, no one came close to Cozy.
I love Peart but Cozy always had the best solos outside of Buddy Rich.
@@cryptoking7093you kidding right ?
I saw him with Brian May in Argentina in 1992 and BANG!!!!! Seeing live my favourite drummer was a dream come true to me!!!! I've followed most of his career, and to me he was always the best.
When I lived in UK I had a black persian cat named Cozy - after Cozy Powell. I brought her to America with me.
He named himself after Jazz drummer Cozy Cole.
Over the top. Hammer. Immer wieder begeisternd.cozy war könig
Nothing matches being in the venue. The first time I witnessed this (Rising tour) it blew me apart.

I saw him do this on one of the MSG tours ❤
@@enantiodromia7414 Just looked up the album. Simply titled MSG (1981). Powerful shows.

Now THAT is some power drumming. Damn.
Now that's DOUBLE BASS!!😁👍🏻👍🏻
He was a master Tommy Aldrich is the other master
Cozy Powell and Richie Blackmore...State of the Art for Hard and Heavy Metal Rock forever..
First time I've seen this. Superb 👍
Absolutely fantastic ❤
.....großartig, er wird immer in unseren Herzen bleiben...
Powell, Blackmore and Dio...... was there ever a better lineup? 🤘
Non existence
Beck Bogart Appice as Good
Nope!!!
Yes. It removed RJD and included Graham Bonnet.
Don't forget Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. Emerson Lake and Powell
Cozy powell unico è inimitabile. Per me il più grande batterista
Great 😊 a 🥁 drummer!🎉
This is fantastic!
I saw him do this at a 1973 RAK concert in London....BLEW ME AWAY
Truly one of the greats
In the year of 1812, he single-handedly won against the Empire of the French in the battle of Munich.
So good to see again 👍
That posture looks so uncomfortable, hunched over the snare. Cozy was outstanding. I saw rainbow on this tour. Just amazing
Me too, lucky us
@@jimmiefrancis142 yeah lucky you, confirm!
Buddy Rich also hunched over his snare...they were both in love with their drums...R.I,P Cozy Powell...legend...
Ruby you can get use to it, the position, just like strapping a pro NASCAR driver into his custom fitted racing seat, tho back stretches come in pleasurably handy
I think he must have changed his posture because if you watch later videos of him playing, he sits far more upright.
That was a great drum solo
Best Drummer ever....!!!!
RIP Cozy!! For ever!!!
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!
Cozy Powell the Best Forever
This is Fantastic!!!
❤ the one and only Cozy Powell...like a beautiful crazy stampeed wild Horses...Samurai ❤😅
Bloody Amazing...
Saw him with the JEFF BECK GROUP ROUGH AND READY. IN CHICAGO ARIE CROWN. GREAT!
Cozy Powell along with Carmine Appice, Ginger Baker and Neil Peart are the best hard rock/heavy metal drummers of all time.
Don't forget ian paice or you don't regard him as a good drummer.
Keith Moon John Bonham
@@alanfletcher9698
yes, both were awesome drummers, but pity, that a lot of good hard rock and roll/heavy metal drummers are dead or too old to paly .....
What a legend ❤
He was a monster. One of the best ever
Охренеть был барабанщик супер!❤ пусть земля его будет пухом!
Poaw what a great drummer
To intergrate 1812 overture with the legendary Cozy Powell wow
What a beast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let's see a stupid digital PLUG IN do that ey !
COZY POWELL BaBy!!😁👍🏻👍🏻
Belo teste para cardiaco que ama batera. Uma locomotiva
A true powerhouse!
The best
wow...& wow again///
I took him to a Hollies gig in the early 80's and he told me Bobby Elliot inspired him to play the drums.
Monstrous!
Awesome
Perfect!
How awesome
fab,1,of the best ever.
Simply the best👍🤘👏🥁
His traditional as opposed to matched drumstick grip shows his Jazz influence.
I’d love to know what Richie was trying to say to Cozy at around 6:11? Also I’d love to have seen the rest of Still I’m Sad. Great number.
That traditional grip will fuck off all the 14-year-old blast beaters!
What a legend Cozy was. One of the greatest without doubt. Hopefully jamming with Ronnie Dio. RIP to two rock legends.
PLAY LOUD. From the great over the top album.
Remember the Donnington gig and the helicopters very impressive
Cozy, come back to Life to play drums as never
Better drummer than driver. My first 7" single dance with the devil
i love him! if only the rainbow reunion in 1997 would have happened - cozy was so keen on doing it…unfortunately fate was different
This one makes G. Baker look like a rank amature. Cozy was best in world ever.
Yea!👍👏
Different styles. Baker was great as well. There is no greatest. Other drummers on the same level are Ian Paice, John Bonham, Bill Ward, Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Dave Garibaldi, Earl Palmer, Steve Gadd, Bill Bruford, to name a few.
The Best!!
Amazing that this was recorded back in 1812. I had no idea they had video cameras then...
Cozy in the house!!
OK, Pyotr had finished, Cozy had not! Go on ya!
are we all pretending not to see he's playing using traditional grip?
BAD ASS ONLY 1 COZY POWELL ..
Had the luck to see him with Rainbow in '79.
Yo creo que por esto ,
EMERSON Y LAKE ,
lo eligieron .
EMERSON, LAKE AND POWELL !!
I could mention a few great drummers that would take cozy out but due to his uniqueness and skill of playing the drums he does fit in on my list as top drummer John Bonham not to mention ian paice phill Collins Niel pert nico mc brian just a few to mention ok.😮😊
Buena pegada COZY D.E.P
Seen cozy 1984 slide it in tour whitesnake in Liverpool
Meanwhile, RJD is hanging by the side of the stage and losing his mind.
WoooW
Un baterista de de poder ,como jonh b.
Tchaikovsky, the anthem of the Russian Empire plus Rainbov and Cozy, are stunning.
NO LO PROHIBAN POR FAVOR !!!!
Er war der Beste RIP
