[Heeplist] Bernie Shaw 30 years in Heep

[Bob Winward]

Bernie 30 years!!  And many purists on the list call this lineup the "not
classic".  Yet Byron, as great as he was, lasted 6 years.

I remember when Mick invited us on stage at the Trenton gig in 2002 for Lady
in Black.  Some guy I did not know, wormed is way in, then as we are walking
started criticizing Bernie, saying he sounds like Journey.  I told him, what
new guy, its been 16 years already.
