I see from the web page gig list the
following entry is missing.
In January 1971 at the ripe old age of
18 and 4 months I attended my first Heep gig.
I was looking forward to it so much.
I'd bought Very 'eavy in the July of
1970 whilst 17 and 10 months, just before leaving school.
By January 1971 I was working and had to
attend an Engineering training course in England.
I was concerned that I may not be able
to get back home to Wales in time for the gig.
The course started Monday 18th Jan and
finished on FRIDAY 22nd JANUARY 1971
The gig was to be held at
UWIST (University of Wales Institute of Science & Technology) at
North Road in CARDIFF.
I'm 99.99999r sure the Fiday was the gig
date. Pretty sure it wasn't Saturday 23rd, but may defer to someones
better knowledge.
Salisbury was about to be released and
the guys played many numbers from it, together with a mixture of
Very 'eavy tracks.
I'm not sure if Nigel Olson or Keith
Baker was the drummer at the gig.(too early for Iain Clarke) I even
wrote to the band asking who he was.
I remember having a written reply from
Ken, but can't remember what he said. Funny how the mind has
selective memory blanks.
However it was a very memorable night
that has stayed with me to this day. I also saw the July 10th gig at
the Memorial Hall Barry (my home town) where they supported Sha Na Na (can you beleive that?) The same
year on September 12th I travelled to eastern England to their gig
at The Palace Theatre, Southend-on Sea. I sat front row, right in
front of Mick Box...awesome, even though I was a huge Paul Newton
fan, he being the reason I took up bass guitar.
I'm still a huge Heep fan, and still play
their albums regularly on CD and vinyl, though for me their heyday
was the first three albums. I know their later stuff was more
successful but I think one's favourite era is where one starts off
admiring the band, and for me , it was right at the beginning. I'm
proud to have been there and long may they continue. Someone once
said "NEVER APPROACH YOUR HEROES" and since their 3rd album I've
never seen them since. Too scared, I'm happy with the memories,
and I never want to loose that.
Sorry for the ramblings of a 50+ old
geezer, but happy to put it in writing.
With very kind regards
Howard Cox
PS> Damn !!! Just read an entry that
says the Cardiff gig was Friday 15th January 1971. (a week before my
recollections)
Now I'm beginning to have doubts about
my own memory of 22nd January. Interesting to see if anyone else
remembers the actual date.
Take a tip......don't ever get old, the
mind starts to go.
Cheers, Howard
