@@galandirofrivendell4740 Salisbury is my favorite album because imo it is the most diverse of theirs followed by "Demons & Wizards". But in a certain way my favorite song still is the first one on their first album and was the first one I ever heard. It was in 1971 during a school trip to London when I heard "Gipsy" and it immediately blew my mind. Never heard something like that and still unique. But it must be the long album version, of course.It took some time to get to know the title of the song and the name of the band.
We were kids in grade 7 when this came out. I remember because after school we would blast this on the kick ass stereo system one of the older brothers had set up in the basement rec room. Then we would watch the Merv Griffin Show. LOL.
I was into Heep starting with the album Salisbury, followed by Look At Yourself, Demons and Wizards, Magician's Birthday and then this one, which I liked but less than the earlier ones. Kinda lost track of them after that. Got to see them once on the D&W tour and they killed it. Byron was exactly as you guessed, Lee - all over the stage, dripping with charisma and just a killer voice. Box was really good but I have more memories on Ken Hensley on keys. Anyway, fun reaction and keep checking them out. Just on the 5 albums I know you've got a wealth of goodies to look forward to.
Saw them live in Niagara Falls on April 3rd 1976... Foghat played before them, and we drove home in an April snowstorm. Some things you never forget great review, Lee.
If you want to hear something from Heep that will really blow your mind, check out side two of "Look at Yourself", especially the songs "Tears In My Eyes" and the surreal "Shadows Of Grief."
Easy Livin’ is their best-known song. The word is used way too much, but Gary Thain is underrated as fuck. The whole band is, honestly. I think they’re the band Deep Purple wanted to be. Other Uriah Heep songs you should check out are High Priestess, Lady In Black (Ken Hensley vocals), or Bird Of Prey.
OMG! I was thinking yesterday of requesting this song!! Back in the day, when this was current, as well asYes, Tull, etc, all was just labeled ROCK. There was just rock n roll. There was prog, southern, hard… but it was just rock. 😎☮️❤️
Lee-- Most any of their albums up to this one are FIRE,bro! I'd suggest Demons & Wizards,but any of them are killer! My fav is Look At Yourself,tho. Deep well..dive in--you'll adore them! The longish track,'Salisbury' is phenomenal too... T
This was one of the first songs I ever learned on the bass....that D string opener...duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh..."take me across the water." Mick Box is still rocking it out...an underrated guitarist, imo.
I was in a garage band in the 70s. we did like a cover album of a bunch these tunes. It was pretty cool. I believe the album went aluminum, lol. It was fun though.
Ya wanna hear some deadly-serious bass? Search RUclips for "Uriah Heep - Why." It's not typical of Heep. If not for Byron's voice, you wouldn't know it was them. It's a heavily bass & drum-driven song, with the organ and guitar taking a back seat, for the most part. The song starts mellow and gradually builds steam - A LOT of steam. GREAT song! It's a very deep cut. It was meant for the Demons & Wizards album, but didn't make it. I HIGHLY recommend THIS version: ruclips.net/video/tZJ8LULf_8U/видео.html
The 70s had a lot of great music - I watch a lot of reaction videos done by people who are hearing the 70s music for the first time and it is never what they were expecting.
I quit listening to any post David Byron albums. After David was no longer with Uriah Heep, it was over for me. I still listen to Uriah Heep at times, but only the original UH albums. It's nothing personal with David's predecessors, the magic was gone. One of the worst mistakes in rock and roll was to lose David and of course the tragic end of Gary Thain, another heart-breaker.
Yes. He did a dam good job too! He played on a couple albums with Uriah Heep and David Byron. He has a very impressive list of bands he's played with also.@@janewells5970
Blizzard of oz diary of a madman. It has to be the original albums to listen to Lee and Bob. Sharon Osbourne hired aldrege drummer to cover over lee kerslakes drums
Someone's got to do Rock and Roll Part 1 & 2 by Gary Glitter (hopefully it's you) IMHO the most iconic rock song of all time, it's from 1971 and proof that total creeps can make great music.
Their epic song "Salisbury" will blow your mind. Their entire "Demons & Wizards" album is great.
Someone else mentioned that track as well. I will do that one next! Thanks for watching bro 🙏
Actually, the complete Salisbury album along with the Look at Yourself LP are both great.

70's Hard Rock was a great time for music!
The albums Demons and Wizards and the Magician's Birthday are great albums. You should definitely listen to the song Paradise/The Spell. Epic song!
These guys are still rocking and dropped a new album recently.
The drummer, Lee Kerslake also played on Ozzy’s first two solo albums!
"Sunrise" has been their concert opener for Multiple Decades now, and sets the tone.

It was "Look at yourself" that got me interested in this band. Glad you're taking a listen to these guys.

I saw that tour. I also remember seeing them I think with Mott the Hoople😊

They're having a great time.

His voice is incredible. The song Pilgrim on this album is epic.
Back in the late 70s I saw these guys open for Jethro Tull a few times
I bet that was a great show Gary!
Chk out their hit:
"LADY IN BLACK"
Will do!

Were you really??? That's awesome! I guess I am a mind reader now too lol. And that's so true. It was just rock back then 😆

I've heard good things about look at yourself! I'll add all these to the list thanks terry! This was awesome!
Title track is the opener,Lee--but the entire album is awesome! :-) T@@L33Reacts

My high school garage band used to slaughter this song, but we had fun doing it. This was in the early 80s. I graduated in 83'
I was in a garage band in the 70s. we did like a cover album of a bunch these tunes. It was pretty cool. I believe the album went aluminum, lol. It was fun though.
One of my high school favorites. Check out Pilgrim from the same album🤘🤘🔥🔥
Check out Lee on the first 2 albums he also wrote. After 2 albums he rejoined Uriah heep bringing Bob Dailey bass randy rohdes wanted to go with them.
Beautiful Dream , A year or a day and Salisbury - my favorite songs from UH.
I'm gonna do Salisbury next! I can't wait to hear it. More then a few folks have recommended it. Must be good :)
Great classic from UH.👍😎
Stealin' when I should have been buying! Do Pilgrim off the same album...
Such a good line... I'll add it to the list! Thanks bro

It is Rock. Check out Highway star by deep purple. Live version. It was also from 1973.. The 70's had the best Rock Ever.
their musicianship shines with ' Salisbury' thanks
Magicians birthday live . 😊
Much more to do with UH Lee.this was the classic line up
Your good tonight now Uriah after Van Der Graff saw this amazing band 5 times with David Byron one of rocks greatest voices.
Heep was a nice mix of rock and prog rock. Unfortunately David Byron died at 38 from alcohol related complications. The first 5 albums are the best.
That's rough.... Alcohol is the worst drug to be addicted too because you can't escape it. Unless you move to Utah. lol
@@L33Reacts When you said you almost didn't make it out alive I thought about Byron. He didn't, and after he left the band was never the same IMO.
Check out look at yourself it’s their doom album if you get a chance listen to shadows of Grief the whole album is great

And when Ken Hensley left the songwriting wasn’t the same.
Did John Wetton play with UH?
Yes. He did a dam good job too! He played on a couple albums with Uriah Heep and David Byron. He has a very impressive list of bands he's played with also.@@janewells5970

MORE HEEP!
Ask and ye shall receive!!
Only the 2 albums with John Wetton are worth my ear time.
Was just wondering- what albums did he play on?
David Bryan was original singer passed season 1985
Byron*
You should checkout Stryper trangressors
I like UH back in the day, but I thought they sounded a lot like Grand Funk Railroad.
