First I want to say Welcome to the list Tom, secondly thank Dave Sherod for
replying.  I never saw the original post, it appears that some who use yahoo
for posting to the list, are not seen by all members.  The list server must
have some aversion to Yahoo.  Yet one of the members Dave (aka Eddie) in
Belgium, copies me on his posts for that reason.  I get those, so thinking
it can't be a problem with my server.

It is great to see another report on someone seeing Heep in the USA.  I
always love the posts that share some personal experience leading up to the
show as well as the show itself.  I am also happy to hear of the acceptance
of Bernie as a vocalist as the poor guy has been getting flack from some for
almost 30 years now.  We can't have David back, so there is no reason for a
discussion anyway.

This post also brings back memories for me, I became a Uriah Heep fan
listening to an lp of Demons and Wizards, but I did not have a record player
at the time, so I picked up Sweet Freedom on 8 track and played it until the
tape rotted out of the cartridge.  It was the greatest time of my life
musically when I was in college, riding in the car and playing SF.  Except
for that darn break in the song Pilgrim, I found this recording beyond
belief, it was that great!!

And here I am in 2015, still saying "All Heep is good Heep"!!!!!

Bob

Even though they are off my bucket
