Uriah Heep

The 9. June 2014 was the day for a legendary rock band Uriah Heep to come to Pori to play at Promenadikeskus. There isn’t any rock concerts very often at all, so it was a great chance for me to enjoy the music I like.
The band was popular many many years ago. Nevertheless I was a bit surprised, because there weren’t almost any other people in my age except a friend that I had asked to come with me. But now when I think better about it,  it is easy to understand. The most people were in age of my parents and my father has liked this band when he was young.
I have nothing to compare with, but I think Uriah Heep has played just like so many years ago. I was happy to have a chance to hear the song “Lady in Black” played live. It’s a song, which everyone can play on the guitar. Many of my friends don’t want to hear this song anymore, because it’s always played in the school. I think it’s a bit sad, because I think it’s a great song.
For the feeling of a rock concert it is not so good, that everyone has a seat to sit on. Even though the most people didn’t sit on their seats at all, because the band wanted so, was the feeling not that feeling you think you find in a rock concert.
Anyway, I liked the concert very much and it was worth seeing and listening to. I knew the older songs better, but the new ones sounded good too. It was a bit suprising, that they had just released a new album. Somehow I had thought they wouldn’t do new songs anymore, because I hadn’t seen any new albums for years. In the fact the newer albums are just not so popular. I didn’t have any memories with these songs, like so many others there, especially with the older ones I guess but I could enjoy the good music anyway and it’s the most important I think.
