[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heep Koko ( i think Davey is terrific, Trevor was in a class by himself, but the new Heep lineup still kicks ass)

I myself love the new lineup. I just wish they had come a bit closer to 
where I live! Akron was the closest at about 4 hours away, but I just 
couldn't work it out schedule wise. Outsider stands up to anything ever by 
anybody put out by rockers in their age bracket.

I do agree on the comments below about Koko though, but I think Bernie 
sounds awful on the whole thing. Kinda strange that's the performances they 
decided to put out when he was obviously not at 100%. I just thought it was 
my mp3 player the first few listens through, but listening to it in the car 
with more volume and a great stereo system he still sounds awful throughout. 
He seems to hit the high notes, but can't stay on key for anything below 
that.

I can't agree on Hensley though - If I never hear another thing he's done 
post Heep I won't be disappointed. He just does nothing for me as a solo 
artist.

Dave

   I get the feeling nobody thinks much of the new lineup. It is time for 
Heep
   to  quit!! They should not tour or release anything because it will be
   criticized.
   I can tell it's over there have not been any reports this week. I must be
   living in "lala" land!!!
   La, la, la la ooooohhh
   Over and out!
