how i love this band!! two days ago i've been playing with my band at a festival along with Colosseum. Mr. Clark is stills amazing, a voice like an angel, a bass playing like a devil! Thanks guys for all you've done.
Ciao, ragazzi. Ho 54 anni vivo a Roma...Io a quel concerto c'ero!!!!! Se non sbaglio era il 1972 e si tenne al Brancaccio. Mitica davvero la versione di P.W. sentita dal vivo.

If you get the Tempest collection you can hear Ollie playing live with Allan Holdsworth when he was still in the band. At times you can hardly tell them apart. Don't judge him from this clip.
There are a lot of very stupid comments on this thread. Alas, this is not a very good quality vid (but historically interesting - thanks whoever posted it...) and it might mislead the ignorant. Tempest was never a covers band, I think this was the only cover they did. Alas the music industry is a fickle place. Many people, especially on youtube, seem to think famous = best. This band is a really good example of how some of the very best in their league can still, alas, remain relatively obscure.
Clip cuts off before Halsall really tears it. Tempest wasn't by any stretch a "cover" band. Bondurango, doesn't seem like your ignorance is all that blissful... checking out Halsall's playing on Money Bag, (1st Patto record) might help you pull your head out of your ass. Will work for sure if you got any brains in there.
Sheer ignorance, Ollie is probably amongst the 3 or 4 top rock guitarists ever; J. Hendrix, then Ollie, Terry Kath, Jimmy Page, perhaps 1 more but that is it.
go on google, Tape Hiseman tempest, then myface, then listen to 'Dance to my tune'.
Yes. It's available on the Tempest anthology CD 'Under The Blossom'. See the Ollie Halsall Archive site i.e 'olliehalsall' [all one word] plus the usual UK suffix [this is all rather silly but I think YT blocks urls. I'm sure you can work it out] :o)
Though it's not documented there's a good chance Halsall's playing style had an influence on Holdsworth.He was really the only player utilizing that technique before it become popular with anybody.
Allan has acknowledged Ollie's influence on a number of occassions e.g. go to Satriani\Holdsworth interview on GTR Web Forum [this won't let me include address - Google > GTR Web Forum Holdsworth - contact me if you can't find it]
Jon Hiseman , probably the most underrated drummer living today , and most certainly one of the greatest . He's up there with Bonham , Rich , Palmer and whoever else makes the top five . Great video ! Awesome stuff . Well impressed . I'm gonna favorite the fucker .
Sorry about the delay! Living in Fear is superb - virtually a Halsall solo album [includes the track they are miming to here]. Get you a copy if you want
Yes. He sang the Paul McCartney [Dirk McQuickly] parts in the Rutles [Beatles spoof film and albums

Ironic that Ollie Halsall did a Beatle song and then parodied The Beatles with The Rutles.

Yeah this is kind of jive by hearing the album over the live footage.

I heard them playing that live 3 times; at The Reading Pop Festival, at Reading University Student Union and at The Marquee in London.
Believe you me it was quite an unforgettable experience; Ollie is the best guitarist I have ever seen on stage -and I saw many!
