Uriah Heep - Official Web Site

North American Tour Reports

July 22st - Cadott Wisconson

Chippewa Valley Fest !

The Heep had an early time slot but really impressed everyone. They were fantastic and picked up new fans. I found several Queesryque fans that felt that their vocalist that performed the night before was no longer the best singer there. Only two groups signed autographs out of 23 and Uriah Heep was one of them. I hope they come back again!

I had the pleasure of seeing Uriah Heep perform at the Rock Fest in the 4:15 time slot.

I attend this festival every year and was so excited to find out that Uriah Heep would be performing. One of the first concerts I ever went to was in '72 when Heep played at Pecatonica, IL and I had not seen them since '75 or so when they played in Chicago and opened the show with Stealin'.

I told Mick Box at the meet and greet after the Cadott show that I blamed them for getting me addicted to rock music and going to concerts. He got a good laugh from that. They played a bit over an hour which was not long enough to me because they sounded so great. What a rush it was to hear Bird of Prey,Gypsy, Stealin', Easy Livin', Look At Yourself, July Morning, Sunrise, and everything else that day.

I was so impressed with Bernie Shaw's singing and stage presence. Mick was just tremendous on lead guitar and is quite the showman, too. The whole band was so tight which is understandable since this line-up has been together longer than any other Heep configuration. It was a real honor to hear them again live after so many years and I communicated this to all of them at the meet and greet.

They announced during the show that they would be doing a meet and greet afterwards which received a tremendous response. I waited for a long time to get through the line, but it was well worth the wait to get a picture signed by all of them and to get a chance to chat briefly with each member. They were most cordial which was just as impressive to me as the show they had so worked so hard at on a hot day. Long live Heep...I have been a fan for years and will always be one...now I am just hoping that their successful tour of the states will keep them coming back in the future...
