Uriah Heep frontman Bernie Shaw sums up the special nature of this evening early on. “Today you’ll see 150 years of heavy metal on stage,” says the likeable frontman of the British hard rock legends in broken German, and shortly afterwards he goes all out again with “Free’n’Easy”. If you go by the official founding years it would be 155, if you go by the release of the respective debut albums, then it would be 149 years, but of course all of this is just know-it-all nonsense that should in no way distract from the greatness of an evening of legends. Planning a tour package with Judas Priest, Saxon and Uriah Heep, a magical triad of British heavy metal history, who also all have new albums and are full of juice, is a brilliant move in theory, but it works in reality But practice is even better.
