Uriah Heep

Pictures & review by Marije Essink 


I came over from Holland to Denmark to see Uriah Heep in Århus and
Copenhagen, just 3 weeks after I had seen them at the Magician's Birthday
Party in London. I went to Denmark with two new Dutch Heep fans who had seen
Heep twice at festivals in Holland last summer. Those new fans are a
colleague of mine and her husband, who is also our boss (!). They are both
very enthousiastic about  Uriah Heep. It was actually my colleague's idea to
go to Denmark, and of course I didn't mind tagging along. Uriah Heep is my
favourite band, and I can never get enough of their live gigs.
So we drove to Denmark, first to Århus to see Heep at the Scandinavian
Congress Center. We arrived at the venue about half an hour before the doors
would open. Before the doors opened I ran into Mick and Bernie, greeted them
and had a little chat. When the doors opened, we went inside and secured our
place at the front row. Before the show started, I talked to Dave Owen, one
of my friends from the Heep crew and a really nice guy. Then the show
started. They played for only one hour, but with so much power and energy,
they really got the crowd going. And the venue was sold out, so it was
really great for the band too. You could really tell that they were enjoying
themselves. Mick was smiling all the time, and when I made eye contact with
Phil he seemed surprised to see me, he probably didn't expect to see a Dutch
girl in the front row at a show in Denmark. After the show I talked to my
other friend from the Heep crew, Mick's guitar technician Steve Honest, also
a very nice guy.
