Uriah Heep Prague Concert Performance and Setlist
Uriah Heep launched their approximately one-hundred-minute show with newer tracks including “Grazed by Heaven” and “Save Me Tonight,” later adding “Hurricane,” while their setlist heavily relied on their past catalog with performances of “Shadows of Grief,” “Stealin’,” “The Wizard,” and “The Magician’s Birthday,” which included a long and virtuosic guitar solo by seventy-nine-year-old Mick Box, the band’s sole original member.
The concert also featured classic tracks such as “Gypsy,” “July Morning,” “Lady in Black”—which was sung alongside the audience—and concluded with the pair of “Sunrise” and “Easy Livin’.” Reviewers awarded the event a 95% rating, highlighting photography by Kazimierz Jurewicz via Profimedia.cz.
Bernie Shaw delivers high energy in Prague
The Prague performance stood out for two specific elements: exceptional sound quality and strong instrumental and vocal performances marked by high energy. Bernie Shaw, who reached his seventies this year, did not have to compromise his vocal delivery during the show. The hard rock display contrasted with notions that the group is nearing the end of its active touring career.
Uriah Heep remains open to studio work
Despite touring intentions to wind down their many years on the road, Uriah Heep are not breaking up. The band has left the door open for one-off events and studio work, reflecting the British sentiment to never say never.
