Live at Exeter Phoenix: Colosseum
Sunday, 29 November 2026 at Exeter Phoenix, Exeter
About this event
The Colosseum concert takes place on Sunday, 29 November 2026 at Exeter Phoenix.
Colosseum were one of the first bands to blues, rock and jazz-based improvisation, and they did it in a truly explosive way, somehow managing to combine complex instrumental passages with passionately wild vocals resulting in exhilarating live performances. Colosseum came to fame in 1969 when the band led by legendary drummer Jon Hiseman released its debut album Those Who Are About To Die Salute You. Best-selling studio albums followed, notably Valentyne Suite (1969) and The Daughter of Time is Truth (1970). Changes in personnel saw the arrival of the soulful Chris Farlowe, famed for his Sixties chart hit Out of Time and Clem Clempson, the young blues guitar virtuoso and vocalist, along with bass player Mark Clarke.
