Uriah Heep are on a quest to get their back catalog all out in official releases. This was available only on VHS before. Now, it's released in this cool two CD and one DVD set. The audio of this isn't up to modern standards, but given that the concert was in 1989, it's typical of the time period. The performance is pretty fierce. This was more along the lines of their hard rocking, less proggy material. They did quite a few Heep classics, too. The set includes an audio interview as a bonus on the second CD. The DVD looks pretty good, but I'm not overly crazy about some of the camera work. All in all, though, it's great to have this classy set. The lineup here is Trevor Bolder, Mick Box, Lee Kerslake Phil Lanzon, and Bernie Shaw.

After an intro with a lot of keyboard textures, they launch out into a hard rocking jam. This is a cool tune. I love some of the shifts and changes on this cut.

A scorching hot tune, this has a lot of classic Heep sounds to it. It's also got a bit of a metal edge to it. This one of my favorites here. It's a strong tune and a great performance.

There is an extensive guitar solo section at the beginning of this cut. At times the whole band joins, but it's all about the guitar. Around the three minute mark they bring it out into the familiar melodies of "Gypsy." This is another cut that's always been a favorite of mine. This rendition is powerful and faithful to the sound you expect on this. They really deliver the power and the contrast between softer and bolder shades of sound on this very well.

This is a 25 and a half minute interview conducted by Chris Tetley. The interview includes Mick Box, Trevor Bolder and Bernie Shaw - starting with Box. There is also a snippet with David Byron. They really do go over the history of the band on this interview. The interview is on the CD only, not the DVD.
