Hey Nick! Love the mighty Heep, top 10 band for me. 'LAY' to "SF' is one of the best 4 album stretches in rock history. Gary Thain was such an underrated bassist. Ken Hensley is my 2nd fav right behind Jon Lord. I missed the 'Conquest' tour, but have seen them 6 times. First was in 1973, which was a strange bill with Earth, Wind & Fire, and the last was the same tour you saw. Cheers!

Thanks Steve Although I’ve always lived Heep, along with the band I had some time off intently listening to them. It took seeing them again in 2022 to reignite the Heep flame :-)

I never followed them much after purchasing Demons and Wizards. Being honest, I never followed many other bands either, after their big debut albums. The formative years of my rock soul were impeded by my stint in the US Navy's Submarine Surface and afterwards, Life's other trials and tribulations such as divorce, remarry, divorce, remarry, career loss, raise children, blah blah blah. And so I missed the bus on being able to exploit my dream of rock stardom, or at best, a career playing acoustic guitar in local taverns.
