The result is a powerful performance

by Barbara, Clem Clempson (guitar), Dave Greenslade (keyboards), Mark Clarke (bass), Chris Farlowe (vocals) and bandleader Jon Hiseman (drums).

Alongside newer tracks like 'Hard Times Rising' and 'No Pleasin', the ensemble revisit their prog roots with a captivating rendition of 'The Valentyne Suite' and an epic 'Lost Angeles'.

'In The Heat Of The Night' sees Farlowe's mastery of the blues on full display as Colosseum reinterpret the Ray Charles original, with Clem's licks and Barbara's sultry sax underpinning the closing number.

The DVD also includes an interview with Jon Hiseman in which he discusses the band's musical complexity and enduring popularity in light of their decision to reform in 1994.

Beautifully packaged 2CD/DVD presentation a must for all Colosseum fans. As Hiseman explains:

"You have to feed this creature. If you don't feed it, it dies. Besides, you can't force it to do something it doesn't want to do.
