Stealin' is my absolute favorite Uriah Heep song.
Definitely should be next!
The epitome of a banger! Classic tune!
Same!
If "Easy Livin" is A+, then "Stealin" has gotta be S-Tier.
Yep, no doubt.
My favorite Uriah Heep song!
Another great Uriah Heep song is The Wizard. Please check it out soon.
I think A&A did that song on a livestream and they weren't impressed.
Came down here to say that.
I saw them do The Wizard at Top of the Pops in 1972. I'm actually in the footage near the end on the left. ruclips.net/video/jOVaSUMh_Mo/видео.html
One of the pioneers of metal, heavily underrated! They actually jammed with Deep Purple in 1970
URIAH HEEP LEGENDS
This was from 1972 from the "Demon and Wizards" album....one of my all-time favorite albums. Uriah Heep was an album band rather than a singles band. They didn't have many "hits", but a good one was "That's The Way That It Is" from 1983. That's one you might want to check out.
And I still have it. Demons and Wizards. Love it
One of the most underrated rock bands ever! The Heep for the RRHOF!
In 1974, RUSH opened for Uriah Heep. They were VERY influential influence at that time. Deep Purple formed in 1968. Uriah Heep in 1969. Both in London. Both are considered pioneers of heavy metal, hard & progressive rock. Deep Purple's drummer, Ian Paice, is on the list of all time greatest drummers that no one ever talks about. AMAZING! He's also a lefty, like me.
My son Ian may have been named after Ian Paice or Gillan or Anderson or Hunter or McCulloch or all of them...
Yeah, pioneers for sure. As a wee lad of literally 8 or 9 ('72 or '73), I was given my first two rock albums: Deep Purple - Fireball and UH - Demons and Wizards. I'll always lump the two of them together as they were pretty much my introduction to hard rock and roll. They still stand as classics
@bobgorman… Correct!! ...Ian Paice is the greatest for me! ...The reason he stays out of the spotlight is probably because he's such a quiet guy. Most of the time, the more scandals someone makes, the more famous they become!! ... Ian Paice NEVER had a scandal, with drugs and the like! ...He still shows outstanding performance today (after 55 years)!!
Next Uriah Heep song should definitely be either JULY.MORNING or TEARS IN MY EYES. Both of them are unforgettable Bangers!
This^^
Definitely, the slide guitar in "Tears In My Eyes" is great.
Let's not forget Bird of Prey as well..🤘
July Morning intro is my phone ringtone
The Tears In My Eyes from Uriah Heep Live 1975. Ultimate banger!!!!
I strongly suggest "Look At Yourself", that's a straight banger and even stronger than "Easy Livin' "... my opinion
Anything off of the Look At Yourself album!
Uriah Heep was HUGE in the early-mid 70s. I had their double live album, 'Uriah Heep Live (January 1973)' as an 8-track and played the crap out of it!! ❤
Funny you say that - this may be the first time I've heard it NOT on an 8-track 😊
@@sherigrow6480 I sold the last of my 8-track tapes in 1978. I do have the CD, 'The Best of Uriah Heep' now
It's about time. I have been recommending Heep to you guys for years. Rainbow Demon, The Wizard, Stealin', etc.
Heep went through a few drummers. The longest lasting and best known being Lee Kerslake, who was with Ozzy later on. Incredible drummer. R.I.P.
AWESOME SONG AND DAVID BYRON VOCALS ❤❤
Ah where should you go from here? I would recommend: Gypsy - Look at Yourself - The Wizard - The Magicians Birthday - Lady in Black - Sweet Lorraine - Sunrise - Bird of Prey - Circle of Hands - July Morning. Honestly guys Uriah Heep ranks right up there with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple IMHO. Amazing group thanks for the reacting I love watching you guys listen to a great song from long ago and see the looks on your faces!
Kick ass organ playing in Speedwagons' 'Roll With The Changes' . You two need that song in your lives 😊
Yes to this👆 100%. Along with Gary Richrath's scorching guitar this song totally rocks. Really listen to the studio cut from the LP "You Can Tune a Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish" not the live version.
Ok, A&A do this!! haha
Not really... Sounds like a keyboard solo by a halfway proficient 8th grader.
@@JimGeigerMusic I'll agree inasmuch as even though I knew they grew a big regional live following early doors, I've always thought, once they got radio attention and a new deal, REO Speedwagon just put out mealy mouthed, middle-of-the-road, "Let's please the label execs, I just bought a house" crap. And it just got worse from there with MTV. *_Ridin' The Storm Out_* is the only song I'm willing to listen to now, and even that kinda sucks. I'm out after the first verse and chorus, with a bad taste in my mouth. Their '80s writing is eminently face-punchable.
One of my all time favorite bands! David Byron amazing vocals! Hensley so good on organ!
Ken Hensley was good on guitar and vocals too. If you've never heard it you should check out Hensley's solo album "Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf"
Uriah Heep! 🤘🏻
Would LOVE to hear a reaction to Stealin’!!!
Forgot about that tune!!!!! It’s awesome!!!!!!
July Morning, The Wizard, Look at yourself all good'uns!
Finally hitting one of the best metal bands ever. Listen to Salisbury (long song) and you will be a fan for life like me. Have seen them live 3 times - so much fun. Ken Hensley died in 2020 RIP - huge loss and they have lost other members as well - The original lead singer David Byron died in 1985. Mick Box - one of the most underrated guitar players ever - thankfully is still with us.
Fun fact:
Uriah Heep took their name from a character in Charles Dickens' classic novel "David Copperfield".
You should also check out " Lady In Black" and "Free Me" and "Love Or Nothing". Also, " Look At Yourself " is a real banger and has fantastic guitar work.
I recall studying David Copperfield in early '70s high school (emphasis on 'high') and when Uriah's character was introduced the whole class was like 'wait a minute . . .'
Back in the day when rock groups were rooted in literature and literacy. The Doors, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Steppenwolf, The Velvet Underground, Mott the Hoople, to name a few
I also had a children's book I don't remember who wrote it but Uriah Heap was the nice monster
Uriah Heep was the avaricious, unctuous, Gollum-like money lender in David Copperfield.
Stealin' was their other BIG hit... and it's a HEATER! Also, "WIzard" and "Gypsy" are notable bangers, along with a bunch of other tunes throughout their decades long history as a band
Often overlooked was the harmonizing talent of this band. Some of the best I've ever heard,
Gosh, this brings back memories. My first gig was Uriah Heep at the Winter Gardens Eastbourne on Monday 4/3/1985.
My first concert was KISS in 1976, and Uriah Heep opened the show. They totally blew me away and been a big fan ever since!! "Lady in Black", "Look at Yourself", "The Wizard", "Gypsy", so many more.
I saw them on the same KISS tour. Great opener....if I remember! lol
Saw that show in Ft Worth.
Yep saw the same tour and immediately loved Uriah Heep
Same here, same year and the same tour. Lakeland Civic Ctr, Lakeland, Florida.
You've just stepped into fifty three years of a class act. The album cover is absolutely fantastic art. Enjoy guys. Great reaction!👍👍🤟🤟
Uriah Heep have a varied song catalogue and could be called (arguably) the first progressive metal band as their first album came out in 1970. Top tracks to check out the wide scope/style of their music: Gypsy (a heavy rocker from their debut album), The Park (a beautiful ballad from their second release, Salisbury), July Morning (an incredible epic from their third album, Look At Yourself), The Wizard (opening track from their fourth and most popular album, Demons And Wizards), Stealin' (probably the band's second most popular song), and Rainbow Demon (a strong deep cut from Demons And Wizards). Those songs are good starting points for the David Byron (vocalist) era of the band.
The song Magician's Birthday from the album of the same name. One of the greatest guitar solos ever!
Absolutely!!!
Uriah Heep!!!!! About time!!! Thank you! An excellent rabbit hole to go down!
Hi coming from England
Listening to ROCK Music in my Teens I am now retired and still listening to this Awesome music👍👍👍👍
All the best
Uriah Heep has a huge catalog and every damn time the reaction crowd picks the same three songs.
I saw Uriah Heep in Glasgow, Scotland back in 1975 in the Apollo Theater. One of the best concerts I've ever witnessed. Thanks for reviewing.
Good choice, i love the organ. 'Look at yourself', 'Gypsy' and 'Bird of prey' are among my favourites
One of Heeps best rockers! A beast of a song.
WOW. This song is ancient, but still wild and "balls to the wall"! I can't help but sing along every time I hear it. Thanks, guys.
Like Black Sabbath and Rush, Uriah Heep could do both short radio friendly songs and long epic bangers. For the latter, I suggest July Morning and The Magician's Birthday. Stealin' is their other big hit. Gypsy is also awesome.
I was 9 years old when I got a who and blue cheer summer time blues and this album great song
Other great Uriah Heep songs are July Morning, Gypsy, Sunrise, Look at Yourself, Return to Fantasy.
There are soo many great songs to get to from the early/mid 70s version of Uriah Heep: Lady in Black, Look at Yourself, Bird of Prey, Rainbow Demon, Gypsy, Firefly, Fallen Angel ... but they're just the path leading to their Magnum Opus of the day, a truly astonidhing tune called Salisbury. Salisbury is one of those songs that should be at the top of every 70s rock fans wishlist to hear.
Wizard, gypsy, look at yourself, sunrise, july morning, bird of prey.
Such an underrated band, glad you guys got around to them.
Yes, the Lads have become Master Music Debaters. Well done!
Tight band with great vocals and excellent musicians !!! "Easy Livin'" was a staple for us Hammond organ players, and Ken Hensley was a Master of it !!! SO much fun to play !!! Check out "Circle of Hands" for your next foray into Heep.
Hensley didn't consider himself to be a good keyboard player (I disagree with him about that!). He said he was better at guitar.
@@johnstorton I disagree with Ken's statement big time !!! Now, I will admit that there was nothing that he played that I couldn't. But his style was very fluid and natural (unlike, say Emerson, as his stuff always cramped up my hands, fingers and wrists). But I grew up on Ken, Jon Lord, Wakeman, et al. I just really enjoyed playing his parts, and the snorting Hammond tone was always a blast to crank up !!!
My first concert along with ZZ Top and Earth Wind and Fire. Uriah Heep has always been a favorite
Demons and Wizards needs a full album listen
I absolutely agree 100%
Their best known song together with 'Stealin' but they have so much more in store, off the same album 'Demons and Wizards' from 1972 check out 'Paradise/The Spell' with an epic Pink Floyd-like slide guitar solo. For some real progrock 'the Magician's Birthday' or the 15 min. 'Salisbury' (1970). Also 'July Morning', 'Tears in my Eyes', the fast paced 'Look at Yourself', the softer 'The Wizard' and 'Lady in Black' and many more.
Just classic Uriah Heep. I’ve had this album since I was like 12 it never gets old.
OMG about time my boys are hitting The Heep....such an amazing band ❤️
HEAVY METAL!!!
YES - Parallels for the best organ use ever in an upbeat rock song.
Big rock tv show in those days was Don Kirshner’s “Midnight Special.” Uriah Heep appeared frequently. First place I heard this song.
Second “Stealin’ “ as next from this band.
...you could've told me "Dio on lead vocals" and I would've said "oh really?!".
David Byron ? Great job. A 3min rocker!!
Loved it! As has been suggested Stealin' is another absolutely banger by them that you should follow up with. If I might suggest another hard rock blaster, please check out Under My Wheels by Alice Cooper, a precursor to punk and an absolute rock classic. Thanks y'all!
I had to take my blood pressure pill after listening to that one! Very monotone but in a good way. Never heard this before - thanks for sharing.
Loved it again ... more HEEP
Album: Uriah Heep Live, January 1973
Song: Gypsy
The entire album is 🔥
Edit: the name of the album is just "Uriah Heep - Live" on RUclips. I was looking at the album cover when I wrote this ha ha
I think this was the first Uriah Heep song I heard. I became a fan. Stealin' or The Wizard would be good follow-up songs. Sweet Lorraine is also one of my favorites.
Very underrated British band who were unfortunately up against giants at that time.
Very ‘eavy,Very ‘umble is a great album and does what it says on the cover.
Charles Dickens played a big part in this band.
Check out their original power ballad "July Morning."
Ty Ty for finally reacting to Uriah Heep. They had a bunch of good songs but they weren't "radio friendly" enough so IMO they never got quite the recognition they deserved. That being said, I would highly recommend reacting to their song "Circle of Hands" the live version. Its pretty much a straight up banger.
Uriah Heep so dope and underrated.
The Magicians Birthday is a phenomenal album.
This song is filthy... in the best possible sense. Love the bass sounds of Gary Thain. Sorry, you changed your mind regarding the similarities to Roger Glover, Deep Purple's bassist. I love the melodic bass runs of Deep and Heep. Also, love how you guys listen to many whole albums.... and listening to the entire album Demons and Wizards gives great context for the band and their singles.
Saw Uriah Heep last year with Diamond Head, Girlschool and Saxon. They were the best band of the day by far!
Brings back great memories of about 1974 cruising around town with my buddy in his 1967 Mustang convertible and Uriah Heep 8-tracks blasting on the the stereo. I always thought that Uriah Heep was one of the inspirations for the "Spinal Tap" movie.
One of my fav bands. IMHO they were as good as anybody in the David Byron era! Smooth as running water while rocking out!
Demons and Wizards was a huge album when I was in High School.
I saw Uriah Heep open in the fall of 1983 for Def Leppard and they were so awesome
There are so many great songs Heep put out! Try Gypsy, or Paradise/ The Spell, those are to that where not played on the radio but any Heep fan will know!!
Great. Glad you have found Uriah Heep
This is the magic of this channel. I'm 39, grew up listening to my mom's old Beatles records, and I thought I was pretty well versed in classic rock for someone of my age. I love seeing your fresh insights into songs I've known for ages - but occasionally you hit a song I didn't know. I was aware of the name Uriah Heep, but had never heard them until today, and I'm so glad I have. If I'd known of this song 20 years ago I'd have been playing it constantly. So yes, you're encountering new music because of your channel, but on occasion so are we - and that's the magic. Great job.
Gotta say I'm 60, and the name Uriah Heep is only vaguely familiar... and it still might be from my reading Dickens. I've obviously missed out all this time.
I'm 50, and still too young to have been a Uriah Heep fan back in their original days of the early '70s, but by the early '80s, I was discovering their music through the record collections of my parents' frienda. Very cool band who combine hard rock, metal, and progressive rock. They have a large album catalogue and are actually still recording and touring today, with a new album out this year!
@@christianman73ow. That’s pretty cool. I’m 76 and was just coming out of college when they landed. I know the name and a few songs but never got into them deeply. Funny that they’re British because they sound SO southern rock to me. I guess I always lumped them together with Molly Hatchet in my mind. I have no idea why.
Have you heard any Molly Hatchet? You might like some of their biggest hits, if you like this
Check out Stealin’, it’s their other classic rock hit. The band Be Bop Deluxe is worth a listen, too.
I saw them on October 26, 1972 at the Paramount Theatre in Portland, OR. Amazing show! It was Savoy Brown, Miller Anderson, and Uriah Heep. The show started around 7:00 PM and I don't think we got out of there until after 1:00 am. A girl in the audience sat on this big vial of hash oil and broke it. She and her boyfriend started yelling for everyone to get over to them and get some. Freaking epic time. 😎🥴
They were incredible live band.
College days listening to this and Stealin over and over. Great cover art too.
July Morning and Stealin two more class songs
All right Uriah Heep! been waiting a long time for this! Could Budgie be next?!
“July Morning “ and “Stealin’” also excellent!!
This is one of their most radio played and recognized songs. Short, up tempo, and everything you could ask for in 2,5 minutes Iagree on that with you. But they also made epic rock ballads. July Morning is worthy to be next on your Uriah Heep quest. Cheers!
Thank you for finally doing some Uriah Heep! "Easy Livin'" is definitely a banger and I'm so glad you rated it A+! I would suggest "The Wizard" next...one of my fave songs ever. It's a bit softer than this, but it has some good social commentary ("Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts? For then we know we'd find we're not so far apart") "Magician's Birthday" is good, too.
Saw them live at the old Chicago International Amphitheater in 1975. They were a rocking band!!
I was there too
They played with Manfred Mann and his Earth Band.
The Wizard or Stealin' are a couple of great Heep tunes too.
We had the best Music and the most fun!
Always love their bass player: the super speed of their player, incredible
Alex I appreciate your honesty-the thought you put into this channel is refreshing. Andy as well of course! Uriah Heep- Rush opened for them and one of the guys with the band nailed Geddy Lee’s slippers to the floor! Rush in the Farewell to Kings era-Kimonos and Marshalls
Great band. Try "Stealin'" - fantastic song. My one & only knock against "Easy Livin'" has always been that it's too short.
My big brother bought me this album when I was 10. I spent many days lying on my bed listening to this on repeat well into my teen years, and still play it regularly at age 60. Circle of hands, from this album is on the playlist for my funeral, the only part of my funeral I have planned for or care about.
Easy Livin' was released in 1972.
Ooooooooffffffffff you can't go wrong with the mighty Heep.
So many podcasters so just came across you guys.But as soon as I saw Uriah I had to listen. David Byron is one of the great voices in rock. Loved the Heep from 1970 their first 7 albums are super good.
I give each of y'all one and a half gold stars!
Thank you for revisiting prog again! Another good band from back in the day that put out some great music! Demons and Wizards a great album as well as The Magician's Birthday.
Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Be Bop Delux, some early Rush, and a few other such bands, then watch This Is Spinal Tap! Gives u a survey of the whole scene.
Love you this band
About damn time.
I’d vote for Stealin’ for your next visit to the Uriah Heep catalog. Varied tempo and vocal intensity.
I saw Uriah Heep with Savoy Brown in El Paso in 1972. The opening act…..a young ZZ Top!
Need I say it was a great concert?
ZZT’s gritty Texas blues, Savoy Browns British spin on blues and Heep’s prog rock. Killer!!
Thanks for bringing me back to the mid-70s. It's been a long, long time since I've heard this great tune.
Saw them once in concert had a few of their albums on my regular play list, then tragedy struck. My girlfriend and I went our separate ways and she ended up with my albums. So again thank you for bringing back a treasured memory!! 😎
Dude, that IS tragic! She got ALL the albums?
@scottingram7634 yup..... love sucks especially when you are the only one left. 😎
I am SO happy you like UH. First band I ever saw live when I was 15 and it was this line up. "Stealin" "The Wizard" the beautiful "Rain" or "Sunrise". A+
Now that's how you start and stop a song. BAM!
I must have seen the Heep a dozen times back in the day. They were always on tour.
My Sister had this album. I played it all the time. Andy and Alex, the next Uriah Heep song "The Wizard" 🤘
