[Heeplist] Uriah Heep at Midnight Special in 1973

[Tapio Minkkinen]

It's great to see this now after having known about the existence of 
this for at least 25 years. Sweet Freedom is edited a bit, perhaps 
because of problems with the tape or for the programme they edited out 
the instrumental section in the middle because the full song is over 6 
minutes long.

I noticed there's a small mistake in my mail: Midnight Special Youtube 
channel of course wasn't launched in 1973, it was this year 2023.
