Uriah Heep - Official Bootleg Volume II: Live In Budapest Hungary (2 CD Digipak) (2010)

Originally founded by sadly missed vocalist David Byron and guitarist Mick Box by now Uriah Heep has often been referred as "one of the greatest bands from the '70s". a definition that with no doubt tells one side of the story of this magnificent band that together with the more rewarded Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin have been defined the undisputed inventors of Hard Rock. Uriah Heep history has been an extraordinary journey over 40 years of Heavy Rock celebrated with their 2009 greatest hits studio album "Celebration" "Live in Budapest, Hungary 2010" is the second official bootleg of a series of live albums that will be released over the next months - this is Uriah Heep's homage to the most dedicated fans in the world. Uriah Heep haven't forgotten how to rock, that's for sure. The evidence to this statement is this live CD series presenting their classic Rock songs as fresh as if they wrote the songs just before they hit the stage in Budapest on 4th of May 2010. Mick Box and his Heep's take you on a ride through their greatest hits as well as two new songs. This ecstatic journey begins with a great version of "Wake the Sleeper", followed by "Only Human", "Corridors of Madness" both songs were written for the band's 40th anniversary album and have a more modern Rock attitude but don't lack the classic Uriah Heep feeling. Songs like "Gypsy", "Wizard", "Sunrise" and their all-time smash-hit "Lady in Black" showing once again that those guys don't need any special effects and background singers.
