This band are criminally underrated. They were there with Zepplin, Sabbath and Deep Purple. They were just as influential but never got the recognition. Metal Gods.
Thank you!. How have I overlooked this band? There were flavours of Deep Purple in there, especially with the great organ playing! I am super, super impressed with Uriah Heep! Keep 'em coming Jacob!
At the risk of repeating myself from the "Sunrise" reaction, you now need to do the following: "Gypsy", "Salisbury", "High Priestess", "July Morning". Their Uriah Heep Live album from 1973 is a top notch engineered recording. Must listen to some songs off of it.
Actually Jake, Ken Hensley sang Look At Yourself because David Byron had throat problems during the recording session. But Byron sang it when they played it live. And Ian Clarke was the drummer.
Uriah Heep were brothers to Deep Purple & Judas Priest, Maiden? Classical influenced. A dark leaning & medievel sounding hard rock shuffle! Cool. I never had deep dives of their music. Nice to hear!
A friend of mine turned me on to Uriah Heep with this album the year it was released (1971) - the cover was really cool (the reflective surface). Then I was totally blown away with the "Demons and Wizards" album the following year (hint hint).
Saw Huriah Heep live in Portugal back in 1980. What an epic concert!!! Ken Hensley was one of the Rock Keyboards Gods. Now is a must to react to "The Magician's Birthday", dude!!!!!
Yes! Love that you're getting back into Uriah Heep, also glad you've got your dad helping you to find the finer things that are rock. It takes a person with a diverse taste to appreciate REAL classic rock. I've always thought that Uriah Heep was a lot like Deep Purple, with the way they utilize the organ in their music, yet still, they have their own style. I hope you continue to delve into more, this is awesome, thanks!
The Heepsters were like a junior league Deep Purple. They didn't get enough respect. This tune in particular is one of all time great bangers. Ken Hensley (organ) and Mick Box (guitar) were engaged in a HEAVY competition but Lee Kerslake stole the show with his completely mental drumming at the end. Incidentally the African drummers known as Osibisa sat in on the this song. I remember well when this came out. Most of us were in various altered states and a general rule was stay on the first floor and don't look in mirrors. So they came out with this album cover
So cool, I met Mick Box, the lead guitarist and founder back in 1976. I was 15 and my country band was asked to play a party for them. We became good friends and I still get together with his oldest son, who is a drummer and his ex- brother in law who is also an excellent guitarist in his own right.
The Heep were my favorite band all through their first 5 albums & I saw them several times from ‘71 to ‘74. I’m so glad you’re giving them the recognition they so richly deserve! Way to go! Try ‘I Wanna Be Free’, Tears in my Eyes’… guaranteed you won’t be disappointed ❤
Uriah Heep was a fantastically talented band with soul touching lyrics, and a wizard on the keyboards. UK imports albums contain the best versions of their songs.
'Tears In My Eyes' from this album is, for my tastes, their best song, period. You gotta check that out. Amazing guitar riff, their usual great vocals, and a really cool departure in the middle.
Suggestion! Dad should be the official historian at the start of each new album or band. As a music afficiando of all good rock music, I appreciate the little tidbits of background info on these bands. It would really blend well to start off a new series and then let the fun and crazy chair lifting antics begin! Cheers!
Look at yourself is heeps heaviest album. 3rd album..its great you guys are reviewing. Thank you for playing heep..ive been a fan since 70 love this band..when look at yourself came out in 71. Ie the tour..they were supported by thin lizzy..with Eric Bell..another great band..so i wasn't really into zeppelin liked a few of there songs...but i really liked purple sabbath ufo scorpions priest rainbow AC-DC with bon Scott..but heep were unique those block and step harmonies. David's vocals and kens completely awesome. Mick box always says we have 5 singers in heep....it's so right so many rock fans say heep were so underated..i saw them with David gary. Then with John Wetton..then with John lawton...him and David both had magnificent voices..when ken left after conquest..I didn't listen to heep for age's. Until sea of light and sonic...the rest is history 🎵🎶🎹🤘🎸thanks again for playing heep god bless you both..heep forever 🎵🎶🎸🎹
Saw these guys live twice, excellent 2 hour concert, David Byron occasionally disappearing off stage to top up on alcohol. Iain Clarke was the drummer on this album. They're still touring with Mick Box the only surviving member.
Love me some Uriah Heep! They definitely had a different style for that time but I had no problem getting my buds to fall in love with them back in the early 70's. Gonna be 67 in a month and they still do it for me. Maybe you could play Circle of Hands and Lady in Black. Get Dad to join in for those. Peace!
You were right mick box and paul Newton..original bass player..are only ones living....they had such talent kens slide guitar 🎸 and keyboard's and vocals..Gary's bass playing Lee was a great drummer...micks wah wah..check out the 4 albums gary playing bass was amazing and magical..demon's and wizards the magicians birthday. Sweet freedom and wonderworld..🎸🎹🎵🎶🤘a lot of heep fan's love that line up..the golden years..i feel lucky and blessed to have seen them many times live...what a great time to be into rock
Don't overlook the message of this song: it's absolutely vital for anyone who aspires to decency, to take a good hard look at themselves from time to time. It's not pleasant, and it can be daunting. But if you don't do it, you're almost guaranteed to slide into lazy jerkdom. Muster the courage to take that hard look. You probably haven't done anything so terrible that you can't bear to look at yourself, so you don't have to be afraid. Do it, and be the better for it. This has been a PSA from someone who listened to Uriah Heep in his teen years and is probably the better for it.
Ken Hensley's keys were every bit as compelling as Jon Lord's, and David Byron's vocals carry as well as Ian Gillan's. Mick Box and Gary Thain are no slouches on Guitar and Bass, respectively. Do yourself a solid and set aside 15 minutes to listen to their opus "Salisbury": ruclips.net/video/zau-okpFssg/видео.html
Oh wow, I didn't realize your dad didn't know them when he was growing up, I on the other hand definitely did. You seriously need to check out their album "Demons And Wizards". You know, another thing that sets them apart from Deep Purple is their vocalization, that 'operatic background sound'.
Yeah..I love this song..my main favorite song they did was the magicians birthday.also I love lady in black been away too long..this band is sooooo underated..they remind me of deep purple and grand funk railroad..by the way..I been into other bands from the 70s you should check out if you hadn't..UFO and angel witch
One of the greatest bands! I grew up listening to them and Deep Purple. And Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. Some consider Heep as the fathers of progressive metal. Ken Hensley is singing on some of their songs.This is 1971.check their new video about the COVID pandemic..Save Me? Album coming out in January 2023.
You should react to the album "Days of Future Passed" by The Moody Blues. It has a really strong orchestral sound but it also includes elements of progressive and psychedelic rock which might reach your ear.
Uriah Heep had several different drummers early on. For this album I believe Ian Clarke was hitting the skins. After Ian Clarke left the band Lee Kerslake took over and stayed with Uriah Heep for the rest of the 70s.
You want fast Uriah Heep? How about "Love Machine". I've been a Uriah Heep fan since the beginning. I stopped after David Byron's death, so "Return to Fantasy" was the last Heep album (CD) that I own. Yes, Mick Box is still rockin', the others have all met their fate. I consider them a progressive, fantasy, jam, rock band.
Love me some Uriah Heep and Silas Bailey reactions! One video reaction that would be almost impossible to top would be a reaction to Grand Funk Railroad - Inside Looking Out (Live) ruclips.net/video/NxcOxvEsE_Y/видео.html Almost 10 minutes of jamming! Keep up the great reactions, Silas! 🤘🤘
Very nice, my friend used to make the joke "Who the Dickens is this?" (Uriah Heep is a character from David Copperfield) as ive said there are many many bands which have gone under the RADAR Ive been lucky to swap collections with people over the years but even then there are things outside my scope. Its increadable how different things can sound, cynically we are told that everything has been done and everything has to be similar. But this isnt true it just takes courage and the want to take a chance on failing even now good music is being made if you look in the right places.
I know no one will believe me but when I was 12 years old I was on stage with Uriah Heep at the Toledo sports arena and I walked out for their encore they were in a circle and we're deciding what song to play it was my Big brother's 18th birthday he was in the front row I was backstage I asked them to play happy birthday for my big brother and they did one of the best bands ever !
Please Silas do the song "the living years "by Mike and the Mechanics. With your dad of course it will change your lives forever. Love and respect from Perth Australia 😎🖐🎵🎶🎵🦘 PS. I'm not saying that you don't have a close relationship with your Dad.
This band are criminally underrated. They were there with Zepplin, Sabbath and Deep Purple. They were just as influential but never got the recognition. Metal Gods.
Your father is correct. Real rock enthusiasts will appreciate the Heep.
Uriah Heep were such an awesome but underrated band. I had all their albums.
Salisbury and July morning are the gems from this band and they have a great catalog.
Salisbury is a must. Such an underrated band. Saw them live so many times.
Uriah Heep LEGENDS!
All brilliant musicians way above there time never equalled for being so unique than the rest
Thank you!. How have I overlooked this band? There were flavours of Deep Purple in there, especially with the great organ playing! I am super, super impressed with Uriah Heep! Keep 'em coming Jacob!
👍🔥
I've been a fan since 1970...they never fail to Rock!!! ROck ON!
The big four back in the day for this type of rock. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Black Sabbath.
No there were flavours of URIAH HEEP far better musicians and with the vocals of David Byron.
Ken Hensley is a MONSTER on the keyboards. Keep going on the Heep.
At the risk of repeating myself from the "Sunrise" reaction, you now need to do the following: "Gypsy", "Salisbury", "High Priestess", "July Morning". Their Uriah Heep Live album from 1973 is a top notch engineered recording. Must listen to some songs off of it.
They might not be that well known but us oldies know and love this band.
Actually Jake, Ken Hensley sang Look At Yourself because David Byron had throat problems during the recording session. But Byron sang it when they played it live. And Ian Clarke was the drummer.
The additional percussion at the end was by a band called Osibisa. They were in the studio and wanted to play on this song and Heep said oh yeah!
Uriah Heep were brothers to Deep Purple & Judas Priest, Maiden? Classical influenced. A dark leaning & medievel sounding hard rock shuffle! Cool. I never had deep dives of their music. Nice to hear!
A friend of mine turned me on to Uriah Heep with this album the year it was released (1971) - the cover was really cool (the reflective surface). Then I was totally blown away with the "Demons and Wizards" album the following year (hint hint).
The version on the live album will melt your face.
Saw Huriah Heep live in Portugal back in 1980. What an epic concert!!!
Ken Hensley was one of the Rock Keyboards Gods. Now is a must to react to "The Magician's Birthday", dude!!!!!
One of the great rock bands to surface from the 1970's.They still sound awesome to me after all these years.Go Heepsters !

The drummer was Ian Clarke.
@@79BlackRose Right. Clarke played on this album only, then Kerslake after that. My bad
@@lawrencecooper2361 Np. I only looked it up for Silas' dad because he didn't know the name of the drummer.
Please don't compare URIAH HEEP as a junior Deep Purple.
They were far better musicians and had a great vocalist in David Byron
Paul Newton is First bassist (who played on first three albums) also still Alive!
So cool, I met Mick Box, the lead guitarist and founder back in 1976. I was 15 and my country band was asked to play a party for them. We became good friends and I still get together with his oldest son, who is a drummer and his ex- brother in law who is also an excellent guitarist in his own right.
All band members sang backup to get those harmonies.
The Heep were my favorite band all through their first 5 albums & I saw them several times from ‘71 to ‘74. I’m so glad you’re giving them the recognition they so richly deserve! Way to go! Try ‘I Wanna Be Free’, Tears in my Eyes’… guaranteed you won’t be disappointed ❤
You should react to July Morning by UH! Sadly, there are only a few reactions to this song on YT.
Uriah Heep was a fantastically talented band with soul touching lyrics, and a wizard on the keyboards. UK imports albums contain the best versions of their songs.
Obviously your dad trying to sing .5 seconds of opera was the highlight for me!
I enjoyed the song!! 👍
'Tears In My Eyes' from this album is, for my tastes, their best song, period. You gotta check that out. Amazing guitar riff, their usual great vocals, and a really cool departure in the middle.
Hensley (music and lead vocal),,,Excellent!!!

I love the energy and passion of this song!
Have a listen to Heep's greatest album, Demons and Wizards, it's fantastic.

We need this guy to watch the Pink Floyd’s The Wall movie

Could be UH best tune. From '71. Percussion is awesome!
One of my favorite band
HEY DAD. HEY...... DAD...... THANKS FOR SHOWING HIM ALL THE COOL STUFF. TRUELY. THANK YOU.....
Ken Hensley on the Hammond, Mic Box on Lead, can't be beat.
Don't overlook the message of this song: it's absolutely vital for anyone who aspires to decency, to take a good hard look at themselves from time to time. It's not pleasant, and it can be daunting. But if you don't do it, you're almost guaranteed to slide into lazy jerkdom.

Ken Hensley's keys were every bit as compelling as Jon Lord's, and David Byron's vocals carry as well as Ian Gillan's. Mick Box and Gary Thain are no slouches on Guitar and Bass, respectively.

Oh wow, I didn't realize your dad didn't know them when he was growing up, I on the other hand definitely did. You seriously need to check out their album "Demons And Wizards". You know, another thing that sets them apart from Deep Purple is their vocalization, that 'operatic background sound'.
Drummer is Lee Kerslake guys. And he was assisted by the drum section of Osibisa. Nice reaction, keep it up. And they are still around with Mick.
Lee Kerslake hadn't joined the band at this point. His first album was Demons and Wizards a year later. Ian Clarke drummed on this record.
I was weaned on this music!! Awesome!!
Green up loving Uriah Heep the 70s was the best.
The lyrics don't portray it but I see a character in a horror movie running from a beast.
Yeah..I love this song..my main favorite song they did was the magicians birthday.also I love lady in black been away too long..this band is sooooo underated..they remind me of deep purple and grand funk railroad..by the way..I been into other bands from the 70s you should check out if you hadn't..UFO and angel witch

Yes!! Amazing song ❤
Listen to July morning on this album
Fantastic Band!
YAY!
Guys just do the live ‘73 album it’s got all the top songs on it. They were one of the first bands I saw live in 1974 such a great live act.
Try "July Morning", from the same album.
Uriah Heep had several different drummers early on. For this album I believe Ian Clarke was hitting the skins. After Ian Clarke left the band Lee Kerslake took over and stayed with Uriah Heep for the rest of the 70s.
Hey dadio, you sound just like him. Yeah. Peace
I saw them in 1971 at the Terrace in SLC. They left my brain stappled to the ceiling.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!
Ken sings the lead vocals on this song.
That Hammond organ….! So much like DP!
You want fast Uriah Heep? How about "Love Machine". I've been a Uriah Heep fan since the beginning.

You should listen to Return to Fantasy. It won't disappoint you!
Love me some Uriah Heep and Silas Bailey reactions! One video reaction that would be almost impossible to top would be a reaction to Grand Funk Railroad - Inside Looking Out (Live) ruclips.net/video/NxcOxvEsE_Y/видео.html
Almost 10 minutes of jamming! Keep up the great reactions, Silas! 🤘🤘
yes, you must check out this iconic jam.
Very nice, my friend used to make the joke "Who the Dickens is this?" (Uriah Heep is a character from David Copperfield)

But this isnt true it just takes courage and the want to take a chance on failing even now good music is being made if you look in the right places.
lol
Drummer is Lee Kerslake.
No ,Drummer is Ian Clarke
@@rockfan5689 I stand corrected.
Remastered bullshit. The drums are stifled. They're about the best part. Keeping this pace for so long is unbelievable.
Lee,Kerslake Bateria.....Drumm
So did Dad win the election?
Sadly, no! But, I believe he’d report it to have been a good experience. Thanks for asking! 😃
No Led Zeppelin. No disrespect. But organ as lead isn't comparable to Page.
I know no one will believe me but when I was 12 years old I was on stage with Uriah Heep at the Toledo sports arena and I walked out for their encore they were in a circle and we're deciding what song to play it was my Big brother's 18th birthday he was in the front row I was backstage I asked them to play happy birthday for my big brother and they did one of the best bands ever !
