\"Uriah<\/p>\n

With its outstanding live performances and unique, progressive Hard Rock sound, Uriah Heep often has been referred as one of the greatest Classic Rock bands of the \u201870s. The band has released some of the most popular and genre-defining music, which has made the group mainstay in the Rock circuit for more than 45 years.<\/p>\n

However, my earliest memories of Uriah Heep date way back to the Greek Island of Crete, where the band performed at the Oasis Open-Air Theatre in Iraklion. There and then, I totally was taken aback by the band\u2019s masterful performance, energy and love put into its music.<\/p>\n

Many years later and with many amazing Heep live shows behind me, here I am, back for the second treat at the London\u2019s Koko venue, seeing if the old magic is still there, bringing \u201cHeepsters\u201d to their feet every night, without fail.<\/p>\n

Right on time, the Masters of Rock stormed the Koko stage in a typical confident fashion and clearly let everyone know that Uriah Heep has not slowed down a bit. Greeted by an enthusiastic crowd, the band started off very strong with the energetic, fast-paced opener, \u201cSpeed Of Sound,\u201d followed by the \u201cThe Hanging Tree\u201d from its 1977 album Firefly<\/em>, and that set the tone for an evening of yet another epic show.<\/p>\n

Next up, quite a few new songs off of the new album, Outsider<\/em> were featured, including \u201cThe Law\u201d and the title track, \u201cOutsider,\u201d as well as \u201cCan\u2019t Take That Away\u201d and one of my favorite songs off this album, \u201cOne Minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

The audience cheered on the new tunes with as much enthusiasm as they did on classics, such as \u201cSunrise,\u201d \u201cThe Magician\u2019s Birthday,\u201d\u2019 \u201cWhat Kind Of God,\u201d \u201cJuly Morning\u201d and its highest-charting single song \u201cStealin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the delight to its die-hard fans of all ages and in the typical Heep style, the band finished off with the crowd pleaser, \u201cLady in Black.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uriah Heep closed the show with the Rock anthems \u201cGypsy\u201d and \u201cEasy Livin\u2019.\u201d Easy living \u2013 well, Uriah Heep certainly can do that these days, but, thankfully, it is far from calling it a day. The band will be back for more, in a mighty Heep way.<\/p>\n
