[Heeplist] Fwd: Chicago

[heepster]

They didn't play The Ripper but did play a lot of songs not played on the radio. Rob Halford said he didn't mind being recorded but when the fan turned on the phone light he kicked it on purpose. Mostly Priest fans obviously but they enjoyed Heep immensely. The arena seats about 4500 I believe and most every seat was taken. I believe this will help  Uriah Heep reach a few more people. The Priest fans that had their VIP package had no idea Uriah Heep was still touring much less putting out new music.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
