Uriah Heep and Nazareth - Rock History in Twin Pack
Vienna [ENA] On May 12th more than 2.000 fans pilgrimaged to the Planet Music event hall at the Gasometer in Vienna, to celebrate Uriah Heep and Nazareth, two of the all time greatest Rock Legends. They had their ’40 Years Rock ’n Roll History’ time journey concert.
The part of stroking up the audience was undertaken by Rock Generation, a cover band, rocking all over the place through the 70s and 80th. Among others, these six guys presented songs of The Doobie Brothers, Bryan Adams and Joe Cocker in perfection. Rock Generation, admittedly not yet a legend, however the capability to get this status one of these days would be there. Especially, if they would feature self composed original songs, instead of cover versions of original songs.
Part two of the show: Nazareth.True to their motto ’Loud ’n Proud’ the four Scots, Dan McCafferty – vocals, Pete Agnew – bass (both founding members of the band), Jimmy Murrison – guitars (member since 1994) and Lee Agnew – drums (Pete’s son and follower of Darrell Sweet, who died in 1999), let off their firework of hits, like Dream On, This Flight Tonight, Hair of the Dog, Razamanaz and Love Hurts, mixed up with songs of their latest album ’Big Dogz’. After about on and a half hour also the second stage of the journey ’Rocking Through the Ages’ was history but there was some more waiting for the glowing audience.
Uriah Heep Since the early 70s a milestone of Rock History. Together with Bernie Shaw (lead vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass), Phil Lanzon (keyboards) and Russel Gilbrook (drums) ’old hand’ Mick Box acted as ’tour guide’, leading his congregation through ’Four Decades of Heep ’n Roll’. Apart evergreens like Easy Living, The Wizard, July Morning, Gipsy and Look at Yourself also parts of the new CD were to be heared. Matching to the song Lady in Black a ’real one’, dressed similar, appeared on stage, what the audience was honoring with a special clapping of hands. Résumé: An awesome event to all who appreciate the good old Rock ’n Roll.
