Instant karma...

Playlist
Uriah Heep – Discography on Shuffleplay

Home as early as possible tonight (which turned out to be 6:25pm – thank you Edinburgh’s Trams)....

Dr Prog was already at Crispycat Towers awaiting my arrival...

Off we speed to Glasgow for the Uriah Heep gig...

It was possibly the loudest concert I’ve ever attended – I could feel myself being moved by every beat of the bass drum...

Very enjoyable nonetheless and, true to their word, they did indeed play the whole of their new album “Wake the Sleeper”, interspersed with various classics from the “golden” era of the band, 1970-1973...

Phil (Dr Prog) announced the performance to have been very entertaining indeed and I concurred. He also commented upon the camaraderie amongst the sold-out audience...

We returned to the Cloudland Blue mobile around 10:30pm and celebrated the heavy metal music of The Heep....



Our joy was short-lived however as, as we pulled away to start the journey home, something was flapping from the nearside windscreen wiper – a £30 parking ticket no less – all but erasing our good fortune in having procured complimentary tickets for the gig...

The journey home was spent ruminating about what sort of traffic warden is out and about at 9:45 in the evening...

Highlight of the Day : The mighty Heep...
