(More customer reviews)Anyone looking for classic era (1970-1976) Heep will not find it here. This DVD features 1987 concert footage by the current line-up of Heep, which includes the only original member still with the band, guitarist Mick Box. Other long term members here include drummer Lee Kerslake (joined on their 4th LP, in 1972) and bassist Trevor Bolder (joined on their studio 10th LP, in 1977). The two "new" guys are vocalist Bernie Shaw and keyboardist (Phil Lanzon) who at the time these concerts took place, had both been in the band a year or so. The 1987 concerts were the first by a Western band to take place in the Soviet Union and paved the way for subsequent concerts by the Scorpions, Bon Jovi, etc. The footage is ok, but not always in synch with the audio. The sound is ok, but not great. However, it is a historic event and Heep live are always entertaining. How much you enjoy it will completely depend on how big a Heep fan you are. If you like these guys and want some live video of the band playing all the classic hits, then this is a great show. If you're strictly a fan of the Byron era, you won't be satisfied by this at all. It's a well done DVD, with good bonus materials, including an interview with the band about the Russian shows, four songs from an anniversary concert, and a preview of the Acoustically Driven DVD. I'm not the biggest Heep fan in the world, but do have all the albums. This line-up does a great job with the older songs and the newer material is just fine. It's nice to know that 17 years later this line-up is still intact, a rarity in the music world.
