[Heeplist] Fwd: Re[2]: All of a sudden... Heep in Moscow. Live. Again.

Hi Igor

Thanks a lot for the review. It's interesting because there was  
nothing mentioned at the website so I guess this was a free for all  
concert?

A friend of mine had noticed there's a video over 30 minutes long at Youtube:

>>> exact. By that time there were from 500 to 1000 people in the open  
>>> hall of the Zelyoniy teatr (green theatre). Here's the setlist:  
>>> Intro/Against the Odds, Overload, Stealin, Between Two Worlds,  
>>> Gypsy, Look At Yourself, July Morning, Lady In Black, encore: Easy  
>>> Livin'. They left the stage at 23:05, so an hour of Heep music was  
>>> there for all to enjoy. Did they enjoy it? I believe, the ones who  
>>> were in the front rows, including your humble servant :))), did,  
>>> as for the seated crowd - later various people told me their  
>>> different impressions, and here are some of the highlights, if you  
>>> please: "Grea
>>> t old songs, not that impressive more modern ones", "Very loud",  
>>> "The charisma of the old band is almost gone", "Great performance  
>>> from Mick Box", "Bernie's voice is not good". If you want to know  
>>> what I make of it, I'll tell you the following: the set was very  
>>> well balanced and to me this band's tunes go more than well with  
>>> the rest which are golden classics. Despite being a huge fan of  
>>> John's, it was good to see Bernie back, and his voice was ok. He  
>>> himself  appearet to be in a good mood an visibly liked the way  
>>> moscovites and our city's guests welcomed the band. All other  
>>> members of the band were almost like Bernie mood-wise, but it  
>>> seemed to me that they still grieve the loss of the friend.  
>>> Perhaps, it's only my imagination, but they talked less, no jokes,  
>>> no funny stuff, even Mick's gestures seemed discreet - or did it  
>>> only seem to me? But no words about Trevor, no dedications.  
>>> Honestly, I do not know right or wrong, but that's the way that it  
>>> was... Dave Rimmer was good aga
>>> in, now he played a different red-coloured bass (the one used in   
>>> Padova was black), but knowing that Trevor will never return back   
>>> made me look at him from a different angle. Yes, he is good and   
>>> very skilled, nice fingering technique - but he doesn't sing at   
>>> all, and something is missing in the playing manner... perhaps,   
>>> yet. Still, he is closer to being a Heep bassist then Russell to   
>>> being a Heep drummer. But that's another story, they are a very   
>>> good band overall, and they proved it once again yesterday.
>>> P.S. There was a new merchandise already, funny pictures of the   
>>> current line-up (on the flyers we still had Trevor) in white on a   
>>> black t-shirt, cost appr. 53 dollars. They are very quick, I must   
>>> admit, and perhaps this approach means only one thing: the show   
>>> must go on whoever comes and goes. And Heep are busy touring, they  
>>>  have no time for mourning (which seems right to me, hate cryers   
>>> and crying itself), they enjoy themselves as they can, and, like   
>>> one fairytale hero, Carlsson who lives on the roof, they flew away  
>>>  but promised to return. In October, to be exact.
>>> P.P.S. I have pictures, if anyone needs.
