So, for all of you with no idea how this band sound, I would have to direct you to below the text where we have two videos or to the Into the Wild review which is linked to in the discography to the left. I was not going to say much about that since a live album is usually something for fans and as we have already reviewed a studio album before it seemed not necessary. I would say that the album feature most material from the most recent studio album at the time which was Wake the Sleeper where almost half of the fifteen song come from. Then of course we have some classics like Look at Yourself, Gypsy, July Morning, Sunrise and Lady in Black to name a few of them. And they are all recorded in excellent sound quality with a production that is just great and gives you this fantastic alive feeling without any of the live album drawbacks like poor sound and so on. The energy from the crowd when they cheer in recognition is just great. The album has fifteen tracks which will require you to play Uriah Heep for one and a half hour if you desire to hear them all in one play.
I would say that there is no doubting that this band still has a great deal of energy, the live show sound very energetic and alive and the band play it brilliantly but who would doubt that considering them doing something like 150 gigs during this tour. Bernie Shaws vocals are just brilliant and there is no sound of age in his voice, he lifts this material like a good singer should do and for the rest of the band they are as tight and well oiled as ever. The show sounds brilliant and I am inclined to say that this is one of the best live albums I have ever heard, maybe it is the best since Live on Earth (by Star One) which I consider the best live album ever.
So, for fans of Uriah Heep, there just is no excuse for not getting this album, it is fantastic. For the rest of you, there is no excuse either actually I know you want it so just make a note of the 23rd in your calendar and then buy the album on that date, you will not regret it.
But now I will not write any more as I will retire from the computer to listen to a great live album by Uriah Heep, without any distractions.
HHHHHHH
