I saw them a few times in their heyday. Once in Evansville Indiana some dumbass promoter booked Uriah Heap as the opening act for 3 Dog Night.
A colossal mistake. Uriah Heap got 4 standing ovations. During 3 Dogs set the fans kept yelling for Uriah Heap to come back. 3 Dog played maybe 3 songs before telling the audience off and left the stage.
I had and never have seen anything like that during my concert going years.

I have.... to a lesser extent than perhaps the concert you were at, I saw that happen when Stevie Ray Vaughan opened for Dire Straits. There was nothing wrong with Dire Straits.... it just took about 4 songs before folks started to settle down....
Heep back then, before the period when drugs & booze really dragged them down, were terrific, live. That, embarrassing the headliners, happened with several better known acts. But by the time I went to see them on their “Return To Fantasy” tour (in St. Louis), Blue Oyster Cult, as openers, blew Heep’s doors off.
In that concert you went to, did Hensley play any slide?
