The Cozy Powell Drum Solo | Chris Allan Drums | Cozy's Birthday 2020
Here is the solo from my recent birthday tribute tom Cozy Powell.
The solo is taken from the middle of Brian May & Cozy Powell hit "Resurrection", in particular from the "Live at Brixton Academy" album from 1993.
Here’s some things you may find boring but may not know about my journey with this song, solo & the man himself.
🤘🏼... I learned this solo just from watching the VHS aged 10! The video was my like my Bible for many years before.
🤘🏼... I moved in with my then girlfriend, now wife, which was just a mile away from Cozy’s house.... AND found out my wife’s uncle was his friend! Lots of stories were told!
🤘🏼... In 2016 I was invited by Cirencester Mayor to perform at the Cozy Powell memorial event - performed this solo to Cozy’s friends and band mates - 20 years after learning it. Friends included @iommi099 , @brianmayforreal @berniemarsden #NeilMurray @carlpalmerofficial, @suziquatroreal
🤘🏼... I was then invited to play a full Cozy tribute show at the Cirencester Phoenix festival, twice, on the main stage - the Cozy Powell stage. His home town - pretty surreal if you ask me
🤘🏼... Literally MINUTES before performing the tribute, a rainbow appeared over the stage... this also happened after finishing the huge “Driven By You” video edit that ends up on Brain May’s IG (Cozy was the drummer in the Brian May Band)........if you know @grahambonnetofficial, then you know!
I know I like to think it’s a sign of his approval.
This solo flows SO well and is epic as hell.
Enjoy!
