Over
the next few months we plan to "share" video files from our personal
collections
with
those who care to view them. Not in full form or quality but
streaming wma files
in
viewer friendly size. Keep track as these will be
added in no particular order or
time frame. Nothing we plan to share has ever been officially released and
the quality
may vary in great degrees due to rareness of some of the files. With a history
of thirty
five years and all the lineup changes you will find an interesting collection of
clips.
Addition 1: Jahre Rock (2004)
From German TV broadcast on
November 27, 2004 featuring Lady In Black
for the 50 Greatest Love Songs Special. Excellent quality.
Addition 2: Love Or Nothing (1978)
From German TV VHS tape.
Black and white video, yet a great chance to
see this lineup and a very under rated song. Over all quality of the file
transferred
from is B+, lacks proper intro and has a few jumps here and there.
Addition 3: Think It Over (1980)
The only known video of Uriah
Heep with Greg Dechert on keyboards. Transferred
from
a lower generation video tape to digital format. File quality is around
B-, jumps
in a
few places but this is a rare glimpse of a lineup that signaled an end to an
era.
Addition 4: That's The Way That It Is (1982)
The official video shown on
VH1. Captured and transferred from a crystal clear
file with the now popular shot from the Goaby era.
Addition 5: Easy Livin' (1972)
This video was originally shown
on German TV and is short but cool
lip synced piece of history. Watch Byron cross his eyes in protest to the
shot.
Addition 6: Stay On Top (1984)
Another official video from the
Goalby era. Original file was again crystal
clear. This is a very cheezy shot, not the normal Heep stuff here!
Addition 7: Come Back To Me (1979)
This video comes from German TV,
broadcast in early 1979 on a show
called Disco 79. Captured and transferred from a B- grade VHS tape,
this lip synced video provided a good look at the Lawton lineup.
Addition 8: Rockarama (1985)
The last of the official Goalby
era videos. These were done with a
strong emphasis on getting Heep on US MTV. Seemed like a good idea?
Addition 9: Lady In Black (2002)
At Heepvention 2002 in Trenton,
NJ the band paid the fans a visit
and joined in on the fun. For those there this was a moment to remember.
Addition 10: Too Scared To Run (1986)
This is the first of a series of
four clips featuring Steff Fontaine on vocals.
Filmed in Indianapolis, IN (USA) in 1986 these are from the only known
video of featuring this lineup. A camcorder shot taken from a second
generation video, this is a rare treat to the real Heep history fan.
Addition 11: Sympathy (1977)
This is another little known
video from a German TV performance. We
have no information on the file. Taken from a VHS transfer that was
B- grade at best, lip synced but a classic look at that lineup.
Addition 12: Angel (1986)
This is the second of the clips featuring Steff Fontaine on vocals.
Same date and location, this demonstrates his good vocal range and
provides another piece of the Heep history puzzle.
Addition 13: Fools (1980)
This is the second of six videos
we will put up with John Sloman on vocals. A
much underrated period in Heep history as well as the song itself.
Addition 14: Prima Donna (1975)
Taken from the 1975 appearance on
Don Krishner's Rock Concert filmed
in Santa Monica, CA this video shows Byron's gift for working a crowd.
Addition 15: Blood Red Roses (1989)
A song written by Pete Goalby and
given to the current lineup to use
on Raging Silence, this is a live promo video aired on international
television.
Addition 16: It Ain't Easy (1980)
The third of our Sloman lineup videos.
Addition 17: Words In The Distance (1995)
A camcorder audience film and an
outstanding rendition of this now classic
track from the current lineup recorded in Vessel Zelt, Austria on June 15, 1995.
Addition 18: Firefly (1977)
C grade video of a short but
interesting outdoor German performance
filmed at Funkausstellung in Berlin and
broadcast on an unknown date.
Addition 19: Sweet Freedom (1973)
This C grade video was filmed on
August 5, 1973 at Alexandria Palace in
London. It was broadcast on the US TV show Midnight Special on
September 28, 1973 along with a version of Stealin' from the same date.
Addition 20: No Return (1980)
The forth Sloman era video.
