[Heeplist] Fwd: heep at Koko

Mon Mar 10 06:27:10 EDT 2014

Thanks for the review Pete

I don't like Nail On The Head much either but you can't ignore the  
fact that this has been a big song for Heep, the first new Heep song  
for about thirty years that got airplay in the radio at least over  
here. It was in the Summer of 2011 on Top 10 playlist at Radio Rock in  
Finland and the song was played then several times every day for a few  
weeks. Also the album was in the charts in several European countries  
and that hasn't happened either for a long time, in Finland the  
previous album that made to Top40 was Firefly back in 1977. Into The  
Wild getting into the charts was at least partly thanks to Nail On The  
Head video in Youtube and the track getting airplay. It's a very  
simple song and there are much better songs on the album but in many  
cases it's not the band's best songs that become hits. I am sure there  
are many younger fans all over Europe who know this song better than  
most of the from early 1970's and would be very suprised if they did  
not play it at shows or include it on the DVD.
