[Heeplist] Sweet Freedom 73

[Tapio Minkkinen]

This is a video clip that I recorded six or seven years ago from  
Finnish TV and all those who were on the list at the time have seen  
this already then. Ron already posted the info on where and when the  
recording was done. This was a promotional video for the song so it  
originally included the studio recording from the album but what is  
interesting in this is that the audio track isn't original. The person  
who has uploaded this has replaced the original audio track with a  
live recording probably from Uriah Heep 1973 album. I don't think was  
lip synced originally, I suppose they just filmed the band playing  
live and the video was then edited so that it would fit the audio  
studio recording. There is a similar video of Stealin' also.

This was originally shown in Finnish TV in 1974 in program called  
Iltatähti along with a short interview with the band filmed in May  
1974 during their visit here in Helsinki as the Wonderworld tour  
started here 15th May 1974. The original clip with original sound as  
it was on the TV show can be seen at my site at this page:

There is also the interview from 1974 and the Stealin' promo as well  
and many other clips from various sources.
