Uriah Heep: The Heep Bombard Frankfurt
Tony Stewart, NME, 10 February 1973
SATURDAY IN FRANKFURT, Western Germany, and Hans and Monika have pooled their Deutsche Marks to go and see Uriah Heep in concert. It's been a year since Heep last appeared here, and the current European tour presents a rare opportunity to view this band who spent over half of last year in America. When you ask one of these German rock 'n' rollers if Heep are big, they pucker up their lips and look doubtful, but reply irrevocably "oh ja".
