Good to see you vertical

Some time in 2019 Ian Paice visited his colleague Lee Kerslake, who was filming a documentary about his musical career and battle with cancer. Lee passed away in 2020.

Thanks to Igor’s Rock Universe for posting the video, to Mike Whiteley for bringing it to your attention, and to Uwe for proofreading.

    I remember watching this video back in 2020 sometime, it was good to see as it is again now. Lee was a rather good drummer who played and sounded like no one else. It reminds me of a few younger metal heads back in the day not realising that it was the same lineup on the second O$$y album, Diary of a Madman. Just because the O$Bourne’s had placed photos of Aldridge and Sarzo on the inside of the album they presumed it was them. I was bemused, asking them ‘what, you cannot hear that it is the same band as on the first album’? Not to worry. Ken Hensley passed not long after Lee, bless them both. Classic Uriah Heep and all round wonderful musicians indeed. Cheers

    I was lucky enough to meet UH backstage during the Sonic Origami tour. Great Lee. It was all very nice because they were easy and friendly.
