[Heeplist] Rockin' Christmas with Heep and Yardbirds

[Don Malecic]

Hi Tap,
I know it wouldn't make financial sense for Heep to do a national tour
through Canada on their own.
I was thinking more on the reality of maybe a bus trip away from their
Eastern state shows into Toronto area for a few shows and  instead of
Finishing off in Beverly Hills, they could do a show in Vancouver and fly
back home from there instead of LA .
That's 2 or 3 shows.
Then technically  it could be called the North American tour. There are a
ton of past classic rock bands playing in casino venues , can't believe
Heep couldn't fit in also.
Someone is not trying hard enough.
Don
