1st September 2010 UPDATE: HIGH VOLTAGE FESTIVAL RECORDING WON'T BE RELEASED! Concert Live informed today that the CD of High Voltage Festival show will unfortunately not be released because the techinical faults in the recording prove impossible to correct.
HIGH VOLTAGE FESTIVAL RECORDING TOOK PLACE! Uriah Heep performed their classic Demons And Wizards album in its entirety at High Voltage Festival in London Sunday 25th July. There was going to a live recording of the show on CD but on Monday 26th it was told that the recording didn't take place.
