Yawning Man Covered in Cobweb

Why, just the other day I was thinking about Uriah Heep, and this morning I learned from a friend in Bangalore that the band's playing in Bangalore and Bombay.

Sure, Heep was never the top of the heap, but their appeal (and their place in British hard-rock geneology) cannot be denied.

For me, a lot of that appeal was the result of this picture:



It's not a very subtle cover. It lacks the gloomy, surreal, fantasy-soaked look that was so popular on rock albums in the mid-70s (usually done by people like Hipgnosis or Roger Dean, who designed Heep's "Demons and Wizards" cover.) But it's creepy in a very raw, direct way.

Hope some bloggers write about this gig.

BTW, anyone here old enough to remember "Millenium", a pretty tight hard-rock act from Bangalore, playing Uriah Heep's "July Morning"?
