Uriah Heep Live
Colmar ( Fr) August 10 2002
Well, well, well...
It started bad (not Heep's fault)
It got better (thanks to Heep!)
And it ended far too soon (thanks to the organisation?)
Due to traffic and parking problems we were late. We finally made it
to the entrance at 8.15. The show was supposed to start at 8.30 and
there were several 100 people waiting! When they started, we were
still outside! To make things worse: The security would not let me in
with my little camera. So I had to step all the way back, deposit it
and start queuing again! Happily this time it went faster. The crowd
got angry and forced the security to hurry up! So at the end of
Stealin’ I was inside and when they started Tales I ve’made my way
up to the front row, although on the very left side of it.
Thanks to the best band in the world I almost suddenly forgot my anger
and started to enjoy the show. It was a good concert, although I have
to say that due to technical problems it did not meet with the usual
high quality of the other Heep shows I’ve seen. Sometimes you could
not hear Bernie’s voice. But the band loved to play (as usual), you
could see and feel their enthusiasm and the audience loved them! The
theatre was sold out, I cannot tell how many people were there, but
they were certainly a lot!
So, unfortunately, not a whole show. After one hour and 15 minutes it
was all over! As usual, it was worth having seen them, a little longer
would have been better. Hope to see them soon again!
And this time: no pictures (thanks to the organisation!).
