[Heeplist] A Gig in Padova, Italy

[Igor Shveitser]

Thank you, Eddie... It is an extremely sad day today (and yesterday) but I don't want to go any further into those morbid details. Let us live and remember Trevor as he was really a very interersting, talented and sincere personality. Here's a link to an interview taken quite some time ago...  http://dmme.net/interviews/bolder.html  I believe, many are familiar with, still it is worth (re) reading.
Good health to all, Igor

>about the rhythm on "Sympathy". There are some song changes which Heep has taken to doing over the years which I like (for instance Trevor's bass solo on July Morning) and some which I do not care for as much (the speedy version of Easy Livin', and the intro which they use for it always sounded jumbled to me) but I am glad to see that you too noticed how Heep - this version - takes itself serious in every way, yet retains the fun of playing on stage and doing what they once dreamt of doing.

>I must say I applaud the guys for including songs such as Sympathy, Falling In Love and The Hanging Tree. While John Lawton originally sang these songs, I am sure Russel never played them before and Dave Rimmer's an interim bass player as it is. To me, it seems like Heep's taking more risk with this set list than they've done in recent years :-)

>Anyway, thanks for the review, I really liked reading your comments!
