Uriah Heep are 1970s rock legends and this was the first time that I had seen them. However, we were first entertained by Dangerous about whom I remember little apart from them being a typical late 1980s heavy rock band. They did have a very good female singer however.
Uriah Heep have been around since 1969, although only Mick Box remains from the original line-up. The line-up from this particular gig had been together since 1987 (and would remain unchanged until 2007) and in addition to Mick Box comprised Bernie Shaw (vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass), Lee Kerslake (drums) and Phil Lanzon (keyboards). The band gave a committed and enthusiastic performance in what was a disgracefully sparsely populated Civic Hall. The audience consisted of two rows of people along the front of the stage, but the way the band performed you would have thought that the place was sold out. Now that's commitment!
We got superb renditions of "Stealin'", "The Wizard" and the wonderful "July Morning". I only feel sorry for the people who could have been there!
