I was listening to Heep on the 8track player in the car when I first got my license in '73. Just driving around the neighborhood all night listening to music. Must have blown $1.50 worth of gas.
I WAS ONE OF THE RARE KIDS IN THE 70'S WHO LOVED URIAH HEEP, PEOPLE IN MY PITTSBURGH,PA. HOOD WERE LIKE WHO ARE THEY?? WHILE NEVER GETTING THE CREDIT THEY SO DESERVED, I LOVED THEM!!!! THEY FREAKIN' ROCKED AND THE WIZARD, STEALIN', AND EASY LIVING ARE STILL SOME OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!! STILL LOVE ME SOME HEEP!!!!!!!!!!! DAVID BYRON HAD A FANTASTIC VOICE, GONE WAY TO SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was two years old in 72 when Sweet Freedom came out. My dad played it every night after he got home from work. Loved it then and still love it 42 years later.
I seen heep in two different continents in the same week. On Saturday, in Frankfurt Germany, and the following Friday, at the spectrum in Philadelphia. I was stationed in Germany while I was in the army, 1974.
One of the great ones!!!! I always wonder how he would have progressed as a player if he lived longer. His work with other bands is quite good also. This is one of the great tragic, hidden, and mostly unknown losses in rock
@@arturodelfavero9310 two gentlemen sit at the very top in that category, beyond doubt: Gary Thain and the inimitable Tim Bogert! both on the same page....
David Byron was my favorite singer for a long time. His life has been unbelievable: so beautiful and out of the ordinary as sad and unjust later. He died the same night in which Uriah Heep did a concert near his home
If there was ever a time for Uriah Heep to had been on the top it was this line up that brought magic to the world of music. There has never been any other bass player other then Gary Thain that can make the sound loud and clear.
URIAH HEEP is without a doubt one of the most talented and underated rock groups from the 70's. I was very fortunate enough to see them open up for KISS in 1976 at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines Iowa. OUTSTANDING!!!😁😁😁😀😎
I saw UH in South Bend, IN in the 1970's. Mick Box was in a car wreck before the concert. He lasted through several songs and after falling down twice, he left. Toughed it out for more than an hour.
wtf zeppelinn, please listen I`ll keep on trying, time to live, gypsy, look at yourself, sulisbury and than talk to me... I dont know you say that.. You should be ignorant or something like that.
Man I just love the Heep! I drive my wife nuts listening to the music I grew up with. Love Allman Brothers, Skynard, Faces, Free, Stones, Queen, Grand Funk, Bob Seger, The Band and I could keep going just to prove the best ever music was in the 60s and 70s. Oh and my wife likes Kenny G, The carpenters and such. Yes we’re happily married as long as she keeps her hands off the volume dial😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@michaelmccauley14 the bands you’ve mentioned I’ve seen most of them back in the day. I’m paying dearly for it now as my hearing is shot Wouldn’t change a damn thing😂
I was 15 in 74 and I'm 63 now,I got to see them at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, great venue to have a concert ears rang for a couple days after they rocked it Great Band
I remember when I bought this Sweet Freedom Album with Stealin on it. I played that album for weeks. My friends and I would smoke weed, and drink wine while listening to the music. Especially Stealin. It's one of the greatest rock tunes ever. I still have 4 or 5 albums a by them protected in my collection. I also saw them live. A fantastic preformances.
rest in peace,ken who died suddenly on wednesday at 75.2020 is such a crap year for some of fave musicians dying.!Ken was a great keyboardist/organ player and songwriter.From shaz in the uk.
Got to see them in the early 90's in Colorado.I remember the band walking in, and Mick Box came right up to me and shook my hand, followed by the rest of the band, ''verycool'' , ''must have been my long hair'' ''he he''Me being a bass player, I would have loved to have seen Gary Thain perform. That guy was epic!These guys were so underrated. What talent !!
+Paula Campbell they really where awesome but i never thought they where underated all my friends loved uriah heep i still do today loved them in the 70s when i came back from vietnam they rock
always love the Heep cruising around in my GTO in Cleveland Ohio back in the seventies stealing when I should have been buying one of my favorites love all that good old rock and roll
My 1st concert at the age of 14 in 1974 at the Cincinnati gardens. They had a opening act out of Canada here for only their 2nd night in the US. A little band called RUSH!!
Way back in '73 i was 12 yrs old and in grade 6 and had just smoked some Panama Red with a buddy and i heard this song for the first time - a few weeks later our music teacher wanted us to each mime a song and i did this - teacher Mrs. Bean was shocked but she gave me a B+ for a grade , i even borrowed my buddies older brothers Gibson Les Paul Custom to get the job done [ didn't know the significance of that until some years later ] great songs great times !! 10 yrs later I was a sound tech in a band with a shit load of gear and spent about 20 yrs or so out there playing live and makin music and I had the an amazing ride alone the way , now I'm 60 and sorta just listening , waiting for that next band that truly makes me say WOW I like that , they are out there they just don't know it yet. Rick Out .
So fortunate to see these boys when this album came out. Every song LIVE Kicked ass. And in the front row!! getting high fives from Byron and Mick Box...A great concert!!,Loud and proud!!!!!
one of mick's best leads, love this song, byron's eyes so glassy and dilated, he messed up on the one line, but what a voice., so many great musicians didn't make it out of that era.
@Professor Liberal Avenger to a point yes. just plug the hammond into any amp and drive 2 12" woofers and you nail it. but Kens leslies were noticeably different. i would love to know what the mods were! one of my ultimate favorite setups.
Heep were a great band and "Salisbury" and "Look at yourself" two classic albums . The early '70's were great years for British Prog and Heavy Rock . Glad l was there to see those great days .
saw this group live in very late 60s,played providence R.I. what use to be the R.I. autotorium,all the groups played there at that time,good times,good memories long long ago
“I done the rancher’s daughter, and I sure did hurt his pride” & “stealin when I should’ve been buyin” are great lines! A masterpiece by Ken Hensley! This was the best lineup of Uriah Heep, and now the only surviving member is Mick Box. Both Lee Kerslake and Ken Hensley died within less than two months in 2020. Legendary vocalist David Byron and the brilliant bassist Gary Thain both died way too young! Uriah Heep’s music will live on for ever, one of the very best to come out of the UK!!!
My first exposure to Uriah Heep was my first concert as a teenager(17) in 1972 at the Aries Crown Theater. Manfred Mann's Earth Band fronted for UH. I've been hooked on bands with keyboards since then.
They opened the 1974 Dallas show with this. We thought it was part of the show when Gary Thain went down, but then the lights came up and they told us the show was over. We didn't learn until later he got electrocuted. It was a great show up to that point.
Powerful. This is as pertinent and culturally astute as it was when released. One of my best memories of live music was seeing them as a child at Pack and the Hounds in Green Bay!
Man all of the critical comments on this performance. Amazing live performance footage of a classic band . Him being intoxicated while performing was typical and par for the course for a large percentage of bands back then .
+MrSmokeydog So true of the time, UFO could have floated an Aircraft Carrier on their booze intake, people forget that in the real world singers and bands don't get it right all the time, all these "Stars" now with backing tapes and autotune or just lipsincing while dancing around
He got booted out of the band in 1976 for his constant intoxication. So his was a little more than the norm back then evidently, sorry to say. He was an incredible vocalist. Died at 38 of liver disease. Shame.
Yeh. Back then the band got paid probably $1000 for a night gig and free drinks. Beats working at something you hate. Wait a minute, that sounds like it could be a blues brothers type movie. Someone stole my idea!!😂😂😈
He was an incredible vocalist, I agree. And they are an amazing band, but this is a bad performance, there's no point pretending he's doing a stellar job up there, we've all heard how well he can sing. The studio version is incredible and this is not even close, it's more like a bad cover version. He even missed a line out of the song. I love Heep, they are a massively underrated band, but come on, he sounds bad. Nothing wrong with a few drinks, but if you're on the job and you've got fans out there who are paying to see you perform, know your limits and give them a decent show first.
Totally sucked when this line up, musicians went away..., but was cool to see some of them regroup and play in Pirmasens, West Germany in '84, Thanks and May God Bless Mick Box for keeping my old memories alive 🤘♥ 🎶!!!!
Uriah Heep belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!
Instead they put rappers
Instead we got abba
@@MegaBighut ,think I prefer ABBA to be honest
@@Princess-em7gp 😩🥱
Ya ya yes heepster😊😅
Driving around summer nights listening - Heep, Genesis, ELP, Yes, Tull, Deep Purple and on and on - just killer music!
Can't forget Wishbone Ash! and no autotune nonsense.
Шикарный набор . У вас великолепный вкус ! E l p and yes !
OMG you're my sibling from other parents
@@kimberleyaddisonvandesteen8315 Nice to meet ya!
Oh my how true, exactly right Mr. George
Living in the 70s was a blast with such talented musicians! I would not trade my music filled days for anything!
Agreed the 70's in California.
Dave Y 70's anywhere that the radio airwaves could reach. Never again will there be times like that.
It's the greatest thing about being able to say I'm 60! I was 15 when this album came out and the 70s were THE greatest party!
We may be old, but we got to see all the good bands.
Back then the concerts were affordable just like the drugs we took.
I am so grateful that I grew up during the 70s. What a party! I feel so sorry for the kids of today. Taylor Swift and Pink,
One of the best rock bands ever, super underrated, Uriah Heep !!
Sem dúvida Jairo,top 5 de sempre
My favorite
really..I agree..❤
I was listening to Heep on the 8track player in the car when I first got my license in '73. Just driving around the neighborhood all night listening to music. Must have blown $1.50 worth of gas.
me toooooo
Yeah, they were good times. We didn't have anything to worry about. War was over. Gas was cheap. Cars were fast and girls were clean.
3 gallons! We parked at midnite and listened to a lot of Nuge, Aero and AC in late 70's 95 Cents a gallon then...
Iron Man of course
john L 1976 for me
Classic Heep. Doesn't get much better than this. David Byron was brilliant. He died too young.
Gary Thain died even younger, very tragic, so much talent wasted!! Hate drugs!!!!!
Fantastic talent,under appreciated at the time,but loved by us true rockers, good damn music.
Don’t they all.
byron was great.....killed himself one glass at a time.....shame
Gary Thain, God Bless Him for all of his contributions, 🎶, He is in the 27 Club ♥🤘!!!
Saw Uriah Heep in Lewiston, Maine in the 70s with my grandma...coolest lady that ever was
Uriah Heep, should be inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame.
No, look at all that shit that is in there, RAP, Country, ... this hall has just become a commercial xxx
You think!!!!
I'de rather not soil their legacy.
I WAS ONE OF THE RARE KIDS IN THE 70'S WHO LOVED URIAH HEEP, PEOPLE IN MY PITTSBURGH,PA. HOOD WERE LIKE WHO ARE THEY?? WHILE NEVER GETTING THE CREDIT THEY SO DESERVED, I LOVED THEM!!!! THEY FREAKIN' ROCKED AND THE WIZARD, STEALIN', AND EASY LIVING ARE STILL SOME OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!! STILL LOVE ME SOME HEEP!!!!!!!!!!! DAVID BYRON HAD A FANTASTIC VOICE, GONE WAY TO SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Donna Connors loved the Heep back in the 70"s popular during my high school days many many great memories
+Donna Connors Yes
Donna Connors Steelers Blow!!!
Them and Wishbone Ash.
Indiana was just more sophisticated back then ... they were very popular here in the 70's.
I was two years old in 72 when Sweet Freedom came out. My dad played it every night after he got home from work. Loved it then and still love it 42 years later.
Glad to have found a live version. This takes me right back to 9th grade seeing Uriah Heep in my first show in Yakima, WA. It was amazing!
A 1st for me hearing this live. About time huh
I seen heep in two different continents in the same week. On Saturday, in Frankfurt Germany, and the following Friday, at the spectrum in Philadelphia. I was stationed in Germany while I was in the army, 1974.
loving this voice in 2024, and counting... 🇧🇷
The 70s we were so lucky, the apex of rock
I bet a lot of classic rock radio stations play Uriah Heep, because they perfectly embodied what classic progressive rock was and still is.
In my experience not really. You hear this and Easy Living.
R.I.P David. One of the greatest ever.
The Best lineup of Uriah Heep.
Gary Thain .. What a great bass player !!!
Indeed. Was electrocuted on stage in Dallas. That and Heroin did him in.
One of the great ones!!!! I always wonder how he would have progressed as a player if he lived longer. His work with other bands is quite good also. This is one of the great tragic, hidden, and mostly unknown losses in rock
Great bass player! My big inflouence!
Yep. Fave bassist, such melodic lines......
@@arturodelfavero9310 two gentlemen sit at the very top in that category, beyond doubt: Gary Thain and the inimitable Tim Bogert! both on the same page....

The best male vocalist ever. Stunning vocals. When Rock was Rock - not some watered down sorry excuse. Real music with guts.
Estoy de acuerdo con usted.
I agree Amanda imo a certain Mr Mercury learnt his stage craft from David 🐐🎤
The epitome of rock and roll
real music not computers just good music
Lee Kerslake killing it! RIP to a great drummer
URIAH HEEP is without a doubt one of the most talented and underated rock groups from the 70's. I was very fortunate enough to see them open up for KISS in 1976 at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines Iowa. OUTSTANDING!!!😁😁😁😀😎

Wish I could've seen it!
I saw UH in South Bend, IN in the 1970's. Mick Box was in a car wreck before the concert. He lasted through several songs and after falling down twice, he left. Toughed it out for more than an hour.
I saw them in Indy in 73..The opening act was KISS.. What a combo!!!
Whatever happened to that opening act, anyway?
KISS was always an opening act, and always will be
Too bad more deserving bands like UH didn't make it big like Kiss
Seen them early 80s with April wine great concert
A year later w Rush, and Manfred mann opening!
Mick Box....One of most under rated guitarists of all time...
agreed
modread666 and no Floyd rose back then as well
wtf zeppelinn, please listen I`ll keep on trying, time to live, gypsy, look at yourself, sulisbury and than talk to me... I dont know you say that.. You should be ignorant or something like that.
Just like Gary Thain as bassist
Dreadful tone. Wasp in a jam jar.
Uriah Heep was one of my favorite groups in the seventies!
me tooo
amazing hard rock band from the 70's
They were one of mine in the 80s but hell as for as that goes they still are Rock on.
late 60s
Long hair, young and kick ass rock n roll. It didn't get much better than that.
Lee Kerslake, you're now with angels and friends. RIP
The hammond organ defined that early 70's hard rock sound which I loved back then and still do today.
Jon Lord and the Beast. Ron Argent...
@Professor Liberal Avenger Was pointing out other keyboard players in response to phillytom 750's post. In addition to Ken's effort with UH.✓

I don't always listen to Uriah Heap but when so do, so do the neighbors.
Great song please check out Uriah Heep - Sweet Freedom Album Review on my channel
The album this came from "SWEET FREEDOM" is to this day one of my all time favorites with Demons and Wizards as well. DB was a fantastic vocalist.
Smoked quite a few bowls to this album, METAL as it should be!!!!!!!
I can relate, Man. Far out
Me too 😎
I wouldn't label this as METAL. It's just good rock. Maybe hard rock.
this is incredibly heavy for 73, but its not metal, they were pioneers for sure tho
I'm with you good times I go back if i could
Yea I had a 1967 fastback with 8track I saw at sunken gardens 1973 I was in high school I miss those days I'm 63
Seen them live at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, Missouri in 1975. Great concert, great band !

Saw them in 1975 Greatest show ever , they were there with Rod Stewart and Elvin Bishop , Hampton Roads , Virginia
My 1st concert at the age of 14 in 1974 at the Cincinnati gardens. They had a opening act out of Canada here for only their 2nd night in the US. A little band called RUSH!!
Surreal, for sure
That is something very few witnessed.
Oct 1975 in Austin
Armadillo- up close.

He was the best Singer of Uriah. I miss David, his talent was great.
Saw Uriah Heep in Milwaukee in 1975, a few shows after Mick Box broke his arm; still have Lee Kerslake's drumstick from the show.
Oh, hell yes! That brings back memories. Need to listen to some more classic 70s rock!
Excellent recording for 1973.
this a branch of rock roll if you don't listen you is missing out one the best rock roll groups that are beautiful
So fortunate to see these boys when this album came out. Every song LIVE Kicked ass. And in the front row!! getting high fives from Byron and Mick Box...A great concert!!,Loud and proud!!!!!
YEAH I SEEN THEM IN ST.LOUIS MISSOURI WHEN THIS ALBUM CAME OUT! THEY WERE FANTASTIC !
Me too, in Atlantaa Georgia, smoked some of the smoking THC, had to roll it with tobacco, what a concert, lol
I think the first concert I smoked pot at was Foghat in 1978.
R.I.P Ken Hensley, you will be missed
I was at this concert. Uriah Heep is timeless!
one of mick's best leads, love this song, byron's eyes so glassy and dilated, he messed up on the one line, but what a voice., so many great musicians didn't make it out of that era.
Salisbury, a seminal work that today I continue to thrill to...
Boy does that Hammond organ just roar!
and Leslie!
It's got a Jon Lord sound. Love the Hammond.
Hammond's are ALWAYS nice to hear! Very distinctive sound
@Professor Liberal Avenger to a point yes. just plug the hammond into any amp and drive 2 12" woofers and you nail it. but Kens leslies were noticeably different. i would love to know what the mods were! one of my ultimate favorite setups.
Great band ! Heard this song around 1990 when i was 13 on a 70ies LP at home ... still a song to whistle and sing along to.
One of the greatest bands I ever seen live in 1974 at The Municipal Auditorium in NewOrleans.Put on a Great Show.
Heep were a great band and "Salisbury" and "Look at yourself" two classic albums . The early '70's were great years for British Prog and Heavy Rock . Glad l was there to see those great days .
man the 70s...great time in life..
Donna...im from the Burg too... and i seen them back in 1975, love them
David the KING of vocals..Ken with lyrics...love it
Some Of The. BEST MUSIC. Uriah Heep Is Underrated. They Are So Talented And Good. Miss The Good Olr' Days.

“I done the rancher’s daughter, and I sure did hurt his pride” & “stealin when I should’ve been buyin” are great lines!
A masterpiece by Ken Hensley!
This was the best lineup of Uriah Heep, and now the only surviving member is Mick Box.
Both Lee Kerslake and Ken Hensley died within less than two months in 2020. Legendary vocalist David Byron and the brilliant bassist Gary Thain both died way too young!
Uriah Heep’s music will live on for ever, one of the very best to come out of the UK!!!
A 1967 Chevelle convertible with a 8 track. Some cheap strawberry wine, thats living.
