what group is this?

[Qurats]

Like it says above the video before the title of the song (dark side of the moog), this group is Colosseum II, a reincarnation of the jazz/rock fusion group Colosseum (another amazing band) of which only one member is present here: Jon Hiseman

[OrganicTrichome]

thank you....this is amazing....i listen to ELP, king crimson, genesis, camel, rush, etc, also.....could you give me album recomendation by them possibly?

[Qurats]

I only have their first album, "Strange New Flesh", which is a pretty good album, with some excellent parts, this song being my favorite. However, I don't really like their singer, and as a result I enjoy the instrumental sections the most. I would recommend this album, but I heard that for the other two albums "Electric Savage" and "War Dance" the singer got sacked, so they might be even better...

By far the coolest drum playing i've ever heard. Hiseman's was the man

This album had some of my greatest memories form the seveneties on it. Brilliant in every way !!!!!!!!

Gary Moore was simply a genius on this ! A genius.

IN 2006 I met Don Airey before a Deep Purple show and I mentioned the name of this song. The guy was very happy and said "Oh you know that!!"

@awaken77 That's all a bunch of incapables can do, a fucking parody!

Fuck them... And fuck YOU!
