Uriah Heep - Sea Of Lawton

This bootleg is from 1995 when John 're-joined' the band briefly to deputise for Bernie when he had problems with his voice.A friend gave it to me a while back and I am not sure which show this is as an internet search indicates that any 'bootlegs' from this tour are double CD's and there would certainly be some songs missing from this if that was the case

I have alway's loved EVERY vocalist Heep have ever had, and John was no exception, in fact it is listening to him sing the songs both old (Byron era) and new (Shaw era) that highlights just what a good vocalist he was for Heep

This is a pretty good audience recording and a special mention has to go to 'Rover the dog' for his backing vocals

03 - Devil's Daughter

    Thank you for this too, Colin.
    I am very curious to play this bootleg and hear how John Lawton sing the new songs. And some of the old, of course, that i've never heared with the voice of mister Lawton.
    I have one question for you, Colin. Do you know if does exist some other demo song of Sloman's Badlands that is not included in the compilation tha i've posted 2 days ago?
    Thank you for all and to the next post.

    Thanks for this, in itself it's nice, but is it just me or are tracks 6 & 7 not right? I've downloaded it twice, but still those tracks keeping jumping all the time, which spoils it a bit.

    Here's 'Anonymous' again. Never mind, it's great to hear John Lawton with Heep again.
    Turns out this is the soundtrack of a privately released DVD. It was recorded at the Prater Festival, Vienna on May 1, 1995. There are two songs missing; The Wizard and Easy Living.
    Best & keep up the good work!

    Thanks for this, John Lawton is awesome! This was recorded at Werra Rhon Halle, Merkers-Vacha, Germany on May the 6th, 1995, NOT Vienna.
