Description:

A miracle of a live archive has just appeared. John Heisman is one of the top drummers in the British rock scene. He formed a new super-unit with Clem Clemson and Mark Clarke, released their debut album, and started touring.... He was the leader of Colosseum, which led the scene with Cream in the late 60's. After the breakup of the band, he formed a new hard rock band, Tempest, as a new challenge. Although the band did not achieve commercial success and closed after only two years of activity, they are still one of the most talked about bands in the history of British rock. It was the participation of Alan Holdsworth that brought the band to prominence and critical acclaim. The guitarist, who was a hot topic when he played on the first solo album of Ian Carr, the leader of the band Nuclear, joined the band early on and created a hard rock sound full of strong personalities. During their European tour just before the release of their debut album, Tempest performed a concert in Stockholm, Sweden, which was recorded and broadcast by a local radio station. The audio masters of this rare performance by the four original members were discovered and have been remastered to the best possible quality for release.In addition, after Alan Holdsworth and vocalist Paul Williams left the band, they made/released their second album as a three-piece band featuring ex-Patou member Ollie Halsall, and discovered an audio master of a studio show they did for a BBC Radio program. The audio masters of the studio shows they did for a BBC radio program were also found and recorded together. This is the first time that these rare live performances from Tempest's first and third periods can be seen!
