With reference to Focus and Jan Akkerman at start of this post, they were a great band, and great song!
If you like a bit of comedy TV, there is a hilarious UK show “Saxondale” with Steve Coogan where he plays an old roadie from the 70’s.
He makes reference to a lot of bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd etc…
The song Hocus Pocus is used in the theme song.
Well worth watching if you can get it somewhere…
BTW Dchomak - that clip by The Stumble was brilliant - never heard of them before
Thank you for the Paul Rodgers remainder.
He is always in my top ten of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with his constantly good carrier during the years.
And in top five vocals also…
Uriah Heep was great. April 7th 1973 a bunch of us piled into a few cars to see them at Eastern Michigan University at Bowen Field house. Warm up bands were McKendre Spring, and Billy Preston.
Our seats were 1st row just right of center. We got there early and were watching the Roadies setup the stage, and this black dude with a huge afro walked down to our seats and asked us if we could spare a joint. (which of course we did) It was Billy Preston, and he put on an absolutely incredible and high energy show. He looked and smiled at us several times during the show, and at the end, stood in front, pointed at us and gave us the “thumbs up” and walked off.
Uriah Heep came on and started the set with the hard driving Easy Living . People went nuts, and was an unbelievable concert. Still remember it like it was yesterday, and one of the best I’ve ever been to.
