3.0 out of 5 stars Caution, you're not getting what you think!, January 3, 2004

This review is from: Uriah Heep: Sailing the Sea of Light (DVD)

The DVD case lists many classic Heep songs, but they ARE NOT PERFORMED here! This is primarily a documentary that covers the current line-up, so it's not even a decent overall historical look at the band. However, as a snapshot of the current band and some nice interviews with the current line-up, it does a nice job. Most of the classic material listed is played in the background or as short snippets when particular songs are mentioned. The bonus concert is well done and certainly shows the band is still very capable of entertaining a crowd. I'd recommend this to Heep fans who are interested in what the band is up to these days. I wouldn't recommend this to someone looking for a detailed overview of this band's 34 year career. I was disappointed to find so many of the songs listed on the cover not featured within, but was reasonably entertained by the interviews and miscellaneous concert footage.

This is a great DVD if your a fan of the later version of Uriah Heep, the Documentary cover's the time of the "Live in Moscow" period in 1987 up until "Sonic Origami" in 1998, the total time of the disc is about 2 1/2 hours with the concert and all the extra's included, the full length concert in Sofia from 1999 is a treat the setlist includes Sunrise, Gypsy, July Morning, Easy Livin', Look at Yourself, Bird of Prey, Lady in Black, The Wizard, also has a 2001 music video of "Come Away Melinda" plus it shows Ian Anderson presenting to the band a "Silver Record" award for "Sonic Origami" plus it shows from the Moscow concert in 1987 the complete songs "Mr. Majestic" and "Pacific Highway" like I said if your a fan of the later version of the band you will like to own this DVD, you could pick this up at a great price on Amazon Marketplace.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware !!!, January 11, 2004

In a word - sad. Did Mick Box forget how to play solos or what?? If you think you're getting anything close to old Heep you're in for a shock. What you will get is a semi-documentary on the current lineup only, but unfortunately they are sorry replacements for Dave Byron and especially Ken Hensley. You would think that Mick Box would step up and carry the group now but instead he raises the white flag with lame guitar playing galore. Even on songs like Gypsy, which begs for a great wah-wah solo like he used to do, he wimps out big time. In addition, the fact that the lead singer is one of the most femmy dudes (especially in the Moscow show) ever to hit the stage doesn't help. And please, don't even get me started on that joke of a keyboard player. So, don't let the great Roger Dean cover artwork fool you. Get some other classic live Heep and if you can't find it, be happy with your memories.
