Thank you for Uriah Heep,
ReplyDeleteand R.i.P. Mr. Ken Hensley.
A great Band!!
You're very welcome Frank. I hope you enjoy it. Ken Hensley's death is a huge loss to the world of music.

I have been re-enjoying the Heep lately Im surprised you dont have more. Keep on rockin JD
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a bit of disappointment in the sound quality of most of the David Byron era boots. It's my favorite era too. What I would like to get my hands on is a soundboard or Mike Millard quality recording from The Demons & Wizards Tour. It was my first Heep album and is still my favorite. I like the Abominog album but haven't really heard their newer output. I'll dig through my Uriah Heep shows again see if there is something I over looked.

ReplyDeleteI found this one somewhere awhile ago. Im sure there must be a few shows from this tour that became boots. It was their time to rule.
Ahh the King Biscuit recording, I forgot about that one. I might even have that one on one of my drives. I know the CD is out of print too, so I don't have a problem posting it. Thanks for reminding me about that one. I'll have to look through my stuff and get back to you on it.
