Gotta wonder why they would come just for 3 Midwest dates, esp at this time of year.
Rumored to be some INS/IRS related bureaucratic followup business relating to last June's tour, with a couple of opportunistic gigs while here.

I guess they never had an "Iron Man" or "Smoke on the Water" level of radio hit that would even make the name known to younger fans.
modernwizardry - I was wondering when you would chime in, knowing you are a local, and have a UH avatar...
I will let you know if I go. Would be cool to meet in person finally.
Bingo. "Stealin'" should have cemented their cultural equivalency with Deep Purple in the US, but one line of risque (for its day in 1974) lyrics got in the way of air play.
Magician's Birthday and Demons and Wizards are no doubt amazing but for some reason Sweet Freedom (with Stealin) is probably my favorite Heep album. It is a very complete album.
Oh wow, I had no idea they were back over here. Sadly it does not look like they're playing any East Coast dates.
This is a legendary band, and their live show is incredible. If you have the chance do not pass it by.
Damn it, they NEVER play in the North East, nor in Canada...I'd love to see them at least once before they hang it up...
Sounds good! Let me know when you decide and we can meet up.
Has anyone been to the venue? Is it nice? I had never heard of it before reading about this show.

They played NYC, Annapolis, and Sellersville (PA) last June. NYC is scheduled for June 2011, other Northeast dates probably TBA.
My first Heep show was in Copenhagen on the Abominog tour with Mercyful Fate opening... MF only had the "Nuns have no Fun" EP out and the show started with all band members coming out of caskets in a cloud of mist... EPIC....

Heep absolutely slayed as well. Made me a fan for life.
After the show King helped me find some milk :Spin:. Yes milk... I was craving milk and King took me to a small dingy night store and hooked me up.
I also wrote about the concert in my local Swedish news paper and was paid $ 20. A huge deal when you were 13....![]()

Ok, I called the club today, and they literally have LESS than 10 tickets available at the venue for sale.
They had about 85 yesterday.
I immediately went to my local TicketBastard and got a pair of tickets.
Supposedly less than 100 are left through TM.
I strongly advise anyone interested to get tix ASAP.
I see you got one for your imaginary freind.
