[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heep Koko

[Norbert von Fransecky]

It was not by accident that I didn't mention '73. I was never so in with 
this record. What is quite an odd thing. I am just reading the Byron 
biography "Born to perform" - and the author made it THE highlight of 
the Heepstory - like many others, including Ken Hensley.
And to me too the great live records made in the seventies are beyond my 
dearest records - Made in Japan, Seconds out, Scorpions' Tokyo Tapes, 
Rainbow on stage, Quo live, Yessongs - to name just a few - mostly I 
like them more than the studio records - but not so with '73.
Maybe it is because I first got in touch with Heep in the Lawton Aera. 
My first real rock concert was Heeps Innocent Victim Tour. I still own 
their autographs on the backside of non sold tickets from the Hannover gig.

>> I think "Koko" is a very interessting record. Being away quite a while from the release of "Into the wild" the band took the chance to give a great overview over all the last 20 years starting with the "first comeback" done by "Sea of Light"
>> But I don't think it can compete with live records like "Live in Europe 79" or "Spellbinder" - and there are songs especially at the beginning where the vocals are very poor. "Against all odds" and especially "Traveller in Time" are more than disappointing sung by Bernie.

>> But in generally it's great to hear in which condition this band - running straight to its 50th anniversary - and the nearly 70year old "Wah Box" is. WONDER(!)ful!

>>> Bought the blueray from local shop, watched it a couple of times yesterday. Great performance of the songs they played on the road for 2-3 years having the same setlist and adding two songs from Outrider. Now waiting for the vinyl to appear in my usual shops.
