I had the distinct pleasure of seeing them several times early on in the 70s. There is NO way to explain the way they overwhelmed all six senses. All their songs lasted no less than 10-15 minutes, turned up to FULL INTENCITY! If you were high, your brain felt like it went through a blender, then thrown against the wall. After their concerts every nerve in my body was ready to explode and my hair even hurt. I have seen ALL the greatest bands on earth from 1965-1989, and Heep out did them all.
Seen many Rock bands since 1967. In 1972 Uriah Heep was in California. Opening, the "Look At Yourselve" album for Deep Purple, Buddy Miles was the second act and Deep Purple closed the night. What Uriah Heep did that night had folks screaming and running for the Exits. Hitting walls instead. LSD was the cause and the music U.H. was playing. It was crazy. The only other group that did something like that was, the Chamber Brothers tune, "Time Has Come" tune.
One of my first gatefold sleeve buys back in the day! Saw Heep a number of times in the early seventies. People forget just how good David Byron was in the era of Plant, Gillan, Rodgers et al. This album was them taking their early hard rock steps. Gypsy became a live staple of course. I always felt that closing mad sequence was a nod to Crimsons outro on '21st Century Schozoid Man'. The band has been criminally underrated at times but they are still going, and still very popular.
As a twelve year old boy I use to listen to Sabbath and Uriah heap...this song in particular...That was to I discovered two albums...reaturn to forever no mystery and Zappa's overnight sensation...never turned back.
You are a heap won the best band of the 1970s and all their music holds up even today. I’m just so sorry about everybody that’s gone now except for Mick. Box
Well, this is a surprise. First band, aged 15, I ever saw live. Ma n Pa took me and my brother. We loved them. Met the drummer, Lee, in a club a few year later and knew him immediately. Told him I and my fam were huge fans, which gig we had been to etc. Nice guy. Love them even now.
Wow, great choice for your first concert! I’m sure that left an impression. I had a similar first concert experience at around the same age - Soft Machine and Hendrix. Unforgettable. A bit of a difference from your story - ma & pa didn’t take me to that one. Ha ha! You were lucky to have folks who were dialed in to rock. Thanks for sharing.
@@shoutinchuck3363 Soft Machine! One of their roadies lived in the same house as us in the late 60s. My mum met Hendrix, Pete Townsend, Julie Driscoll, some others. Dave, the roadie, his g/f Marilyn used to babysit us. You saw Jimi play? Lucky you. Yeah mum n dad loved their music. I took my daughter when she was 15 to her first gig. Thank you for sharing.
Dang, sounds like you grew up amongst rock royalty. Nice! Yep saw Hendrix live summer of 1968 in Columbia, Maryland. Incredible experience complete with a light show from a distant thunderstorm. Definitely added to the already amazing vibe.
Uriah Heep have a lot of gems in their catalogue--particularly during the David Byron era. You really should check out their epic track, July Morning. It sums up what Uriah Heep were all about in the early 70s. Also, the rocker Easy Livin' was a minor top 40 hit for the band. Other gems include Look At Yourself, Bird Of Prey (U.S. version), The Wizard, Stealin', Lady In Black, Traveller In Time, Rainbow Demon--the list just goes on. Regarding the album cover, there were actually two covers: one for the U.S. and one for the other markets. The cover you have showing is the latter and is vocalist David Byron in fake cobweb. The other cover was a space monster.
Из состава, играющего здесь, остались живы лишь: гитарист Мик Бокс (и нынче в группе!) и басист Пол Ньютон (ушел в 1971-ом). Всем остальным - Вечная память! Аминь / Of the lineup playing here, the only ones left alive are guitarist Mick Box (still in the band!) and bassist Paul Newton (left in 1971). To everyone else - eternal memory! Amen
Used to be me 14-17, and then Zappa and Zappa and Zappa and all the others. - Watch you from time to time. Miss the video where Figratti Sified her long leg in some strange moves on stage.
That is not true. Ken Hensley used Hammond B3, Mellotron, Moog Minimoog Model D and Roland D-70 synthesizer. In his Uriah Heep time he never used Yamaha.
From very heavy, very humble, their freshman effort and it shows. Not a bad tune, but it's a little over the top. I would follow up with something from Salisbury or even better " Look at Yourself " much more sophisticated. BTW, as someone mentioned Lee Kerslake on drum's, not on this. I don't think he joined UH until the Look at Yourself album. 🤠👍 Correction: Lee Kerslake appeared on Demons and Wizards and beyond.
Not my favourite band from this era, but very good all the same. For 1970 I found them far more interesting than the likes of Zeppelin and Sabbath. I'm with Dan on the instrumentation. This was absolutely slated by the critics on it's release...shows what they know, lol. Better at this hard rock stuff than their attempts at Prog. Good song.
Great guitar on that song. All the members of the band were awesome.
David Byron was one of the best singers in hard rock history. The dude had some pipes man!
URIAH HEEP simply LEGENDS.All were great musicians with the great vocals of David Byron
Still going with Mick Box

The great David Byron on vocals.
Uriah Heep British Legends.
The forerunners of heavy progressive music

Lee Kerslake killin' it. Ken Hensley was a force as well.
@johndrix165 That's Alex Napier on drums, who along with Nigel Olsen, played on the first album. Nigel went on to play with Elton John.

Dreamer is another cool UH song.Go for it !
One of my favorite bands! 😁
Many nice memory’s to this band, nice👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoy the Uriah Heep rabbithole! but keep it in the 70s. Demons & Wizards is a good album, as well as Salisbury.

That was an old Yamaha keyboard not a hammond by the way. He was pulling the drawbars on it to get it to feedback .... not bad for late '69 eh??

Great great tee shirt !!! Great if you were trippin on acid back in the day !
Glad you like! Sifa designed them herself :)
I know this great song, but sadly almost no one know this.

Happy Halloween!
Hope yours was great!
🍀🍀
😊😅❤❤
Only way to really like this one is weed.
The song that made everyone realize that organ solos cant cary a song...no more organ y'all.
The worst remasterered version I've ever heared.
Actually not the original album cover.
Bad remix, sounded completely wrong
