Mick Box and Co never fail to impress. Box is one of the finest guitarists in the business and just shy of 50 years after the first Uriah Heep album, he is still rockin' like few others. Lead vocalist Bernie Shaw is the finest vocalist the Heep have ever had and a powerful, extremely entertaining front man. Keyboardist Phil Lanzon is a powerhouse player and force to be reckoned with. The rhythm section with the two newest members of the Heep play bass and drums with fire and fury I have seldom seen from others in a lifetime of frequent concert going. If you ever have the chance to go see Uriah Heep, don't pass it up, you will be totally blown away. My only complaint about the band is that the musicians are mixed a little too loud, making it hard to hear Bernie Shaw's incredible lead vocals when the band is kickin' it.
As for the venue, The Rose in Pasadena was excellent, seats close to the stage. The food is OK but certainly over priced -- $32 for a New York Steak with too much gristle. Same food as all the other venues owned by the same folks that own the wonderful Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. I wish they had put Uriah Heep in the Saban instead of their dinner clubs -- they might have sold the Saban out instead of having so many empty seats in all the dinner clubs due to too many shows by one band in a matter of days.
