A part of the review by Louis Rentrop
At the same time Heepster Hilco Arendshorst told me by email that he found the complete tv broadcast of the Pinkpop Heepset in a box at his loft.
His message excited me even more . Up till then I only owned the Sweet Lorraine piece, as that was broadcasted a few years ago as part of a pinkpop 30 years anniversary. As you all can see Hilco managed to keep the videotape from 1976 in a perfect state.
Hilco's daily job is ticket inspector for our national railways. Hilco lives at the eastside of the country but It happens to be that Hilco's train route is passing Roosendaal, a place close to Bergen op Zoom.
We made an appointment to change goods at the Roosendaal trainstation on a windy wednesday morning. We never met before, but when we shaked hands it felt like friends. The Heep brotherhood was there from the first moment. My eyes followed the red taillights when the train left the station with Hilco .. .. while my heart told me that Hilco had left me with gold in my hands...
Watching the footage at home I got the more excited by the idea that every heepfan could see this in a short period of time . Uriah Heep in front of 40.000people, filmed from a very short distance. I had never seen the band filmed that close.
