Damn! I'm glad my record is intact! Heep was one of the loudest live concert bands of the day. A wall of sound. Try Easy Livin, The Wizard. I'll be back to keep my record going
I’ve been waiting for someone to play and react to this song by Uriah Heap!! It reminds me of partying up the canyon and this song or “The Wizard, Easy Livin” would be blaring into the night!! Good times! Great music! Thank you ✌🏻
I'm 62 yes. Old....to hear this live was just like you can't even image.....we saw 3 bands on floor seat for 10.00.....one as good as the next......it was just the best....so happy you are show casing....and enlightening a younger generation..... WELL TO CHURCH OF ROCK and ROLl
Saw this performed in Phoenix in 70 and that Hammond B3 organ brought the house down man. They don't refer to this as classic rock for a reason. Thanks for the play man.
"July Morning" is the song that turned me on to this band 30 years ago, and it was old then. It is still my favorite. It will blow you away! You are correct that this band trades blows with any great band of its time. Thank you for re exposing these great old bands to the new crowds.
Great selection for a start into Uriah Heap... "Lady in Black" is another great selection from them... Ken Hensley (Uriah Heap band member) does a great remake of it
Love, love the Heap, My dad got us kids into them and took me, mum, brother in 75 to see them live. First band I ever saw, they were amazing, SOOOO glad you dig them too. Listen to more and I will subscribe, promise. x
Glad you liked this. I'm 57, been a fan of Heep for decades. They have a wealth of material, they're still putting out good stuff with only one original member - pretty amazing since they've been around since 1970 ish. Glad I tumbled on to your slice of the 'Tube as well. Keep exploring.
Great bands - Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath. But where Heep left the others for dead was in the vocal harmonies - all the guys could sing. They were a totally unique band. Even though they had some of the heavy rock & blues sound - they also had melody!!
For me Uriah Heep is essential band like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull in the way of hard & progressive rock. I suggest you Lady in Black and The Park frome the Salisbury album.
Great song by a great band! I grew up listening to them and this was one of the songs we'd play as we were cruisin boozin and tokin.....still listen to it today in my retired life! They have a great fast paced, in your face 2 minute 40 sec rocker called Easy Livin'.....give that one a listen, you will love it!
@@mortykun if someone wants to know more about UH, then i'm with you. But as a first contact with the band, "easy livin", "gypsy", "the wizard" and "love machine" are the perfect songs to begin with. 👍🏼
This band has so many great songs. Try any of these -- July Morning, Shadows Of Grief, Sweet Freedom, Gypsy, Bird of Prey, Sunrise, Sweet Lorraine, The Magician's Birthday, Tales.
I'm getting older and I forget some stuff that I used to listen to but this is one I do remember. It's right on up there in my teenage memories along with Mott the Hoople's All the Way to Memphis. I don't remember any of the other songs from the albums. The phrase "I done the rancher's daughter" was what was stuck in my memories.
Blues rock is my favorite. You should try the band Free (if you have not already). Free is Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke's band before they were in Bad Company.
What a lot of people don't realize is that Uriah Heep is still recording an still touring after 50 years as a band. I consider their 2018 album to be one of their all time best. And if you are looking for some relatively recent songs to review, might I suggest Love in Silence (Seal of Light album) or Corridors of Madness (Celebrations album). Enjoy!
Uriah Heep suggestions: Gypsy, Bird of Prey, Lady in Black, Look at Yourself, Easy Livin' and The Wizard just to get started. Classic era Uriah Heep were terrific, they had singer and personnel changes over the decades and the current lineup is still awesome, but stay with early Heep for now, as there is five decades of Uriah Heep music.
The drummer, Lee Kerslake wrote the Diary of a madman album for Ozzy along with Bob Daisley who played Bass for Heep. I have a great memory of me, Mick, Lee, and Bob cruising down I-10 in my '79 T-Bird with the tops in the trunk pushing 100mph.
Yep the late 60s to 82 is a span that had so many artist that could come up with so much with country music included and I will say that because of the Outlaw Era with Willie and Waylon and funk soul blues Parliament /Funkadelic and new wave and rock experimentation that you could go on a listening binge for a life time of awesome stuff but there was that sweet spot as you say from 68 to 73 that does stand alone ..
Uriah heep is apart of what I like to say..part of the big five. Early 70's. Led zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep purple, YES, and Uriah Heep. All created the progressive, hard rock sound.
Did y'all know that Uriah Heep wrote say what you will by Fastway I saw them perform it when they came into town in the 90s and and they kicked freaking ass
I think I have every album with this lineup purchased back in the day . I also saw them once . I barely remember any of it but I still have the ticket stub to prove to myself I was there . Lol
Learn new stuff every day, never heard them, it's pretty awesome. Great reaction my friend . Some people my laugh but try a band called " meat Loaf' awesome singer. Thanks Lance
I lived, musically, on their third album, "Look at Yourself", for a number of years. I thought it was the greatest. I still think it is one of the greatest. Check out "Tears in my Eyes" kicking off the B side. Actually, just listen to the entire album. My favorite "Drummer" album. Ian Clarke was a monster
Very'eavy very'umble, Salisbury, Look at yourself, Demons and Wizards, Sweet Freedom, The Magician's Birthday, Wonderworld, Return To Fantasy, High and Mighty, are all very good Uriah Heep albums from the years 1970 - 1976. The lineup with David Byron on lead vocals was the best.
Suggestion... If you do anymore Uriah Heep reactions make sure you do them with the original singer David Byron, he was on this song... Look At Yourself or July Morning from Look At Yourself album 1971, Demons and Wizards album 1972, The Magician's Birthday album 1972
Uriah Heap is one the best 70s band no one’s ever heard of…until they hear one of their songs and say “is that who sings this?, oh yeah, this guy’s pretty good” LOL
I'm an old Heep fan, and I just had to laugh when you cranked the volume. That is known to happen on most stereos....looks like you enjoyed yourself...
Uriah Heep, very underrated and a great song!!!
Damn! I'm glad my record is intact! Heep was one of the loudest live concert bands of the day. A wall of sound. Try Easy Livin, The Wizard. I'll be back to keep my record going
Lance, you did it! I've been trying to get all these reactors to react to the Sweet Freedom album forever! 👊
MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY!
Damn straight. One of my favorite bands 4ever since the 70s, so cool to see this guy's reactions!
Because of Uriah Heep I tweet something every new year. Today is only yesterday's tomorrow.
I agree with Lance 100%!!!
I’ve seen Heep several times and they are great.
EASY LIVIN next!!!!
i am 75 so i grew up on all these great bands that a lot of people are just starting to find.💚♫
Fifty years since I first heard this song and it STILL gives me goosebumps!
I’ve been waiting for someone to play and react to this song by Uriah Heap!! It reminds me of partying up the canyon and this song or “The Wizard, Easy Livin” would be blaring into the night!! Good times! Great music! Thank you ✌🏻
July Morning and Sunrise.... Uriah Heep
This album is killer! Give the title track, "Sweet Freedom" a listen 🤘
Let this sink in for a second - This song is 50 years old! They don't make them like this any more.
Still going and on tour now
I'm 62 yes. Old....to hear this live was just like you can't even image.....we saw 3 bands on floor seat for 10.00.....one as good as the next......it was just the best....so happy you are show casing....and enlightening a younger generation..... WELL TO CHURCH OF ROCK and ROLl
Ther were awesome!
Uriah Heep - THE WIZARD !!!
Absolutely !!! 👍
One of the greatest songs of all-time, across all genres and generations!
Saw this performed in Phoenix in 70 and that Hammond B3 organ brought the house down man. They don't refer to this as classic rock for a reason. Thanks for the play man.
Tears in my eyes by Uriah Heep.
"Here's a song featuring all the guitars in the band"... Ken Hensley plays the slide.
"July Morning" is the song that turned me on to this band 30 years ago, and it was old then. It is still my favorite. It will blow you away! You are correct that this band trades blows with any great band of its time. Thank you for re exposing these great old bands to the new crowds.

I saw them in Chicago on that tour too!
Their album Look at Yourself was the first album I ever bought with my own money when I was 14. That was 1974! Loved them ever since!
It had a mirror (of some sort) on the cover, right?
Some mad props to Gary Thain on bass.....how good is this bass line?
He's like my favorite rock bassist ever!
Awesome bass player
Glad you liked this. I'm 57, been a fan of Heep for decades. They have a wealth of material, they're still putting out good stuff with only one original member - pretty amazing since they've been around since 1970 ish.
Glad I tumbled on to your slice of the 'Tube as well. Keep exploring.
Son, you have so much great music ahead of you to enjoy! Thanks for keeping this awesome music alive!! Peace Love and Rock 'N' Roll!
Great bands - Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath. But where Heep left the others for dead was in the vocal harmonies - all the guys could sing. They were a totally unique band. Even though they had some of the heavy rock & blues sound - they also had melody!!
Loved the band had all their Albums man brings back so memories as a teen in those days!!!!!!!!!
Such an underrated band. They were such an amazing group and one of my favorites coming up.
For me Uriah Heep is essential band like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull in the way of hard & progressive rock. I suggest you Lady in Black and The Park frome the Salisbury album.
The line up that created this song was the best Uriah Heep ever had ! GARY-DAVID-LEE-KEN-MICK !
Great song by a great band! I grew up listening to them and this was one of the songs we'd play as we were cruisin boozin and tokin.....still listen to it today in my retired life! They have a great fast paced, in your face 2 minute 40 sec rocker called Easy Livin'.....give that one a listen, you will love it!
Gypsy (the opening track on Uriah Heep's debut album). Knock your socks off good.
One of the Greatest Opening Salvo's in History.
Next: Easy Living.
jesus christ no, there are like 100 better songs then that one from Heep.
Nicolas Milicevic Are you telling people what to like now?
@@mortykun if someone wants to know more about UH, then i'm with you.
But as a first contact with the band, "easy livin", "gypsy", "the wizard" and "love machine" are the perfect songs to begin with. 👍🏼
poor recommendation, 'Easy Livin' out classes this; just sayin😶
@@johnerwin9024 Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one. Yours just happens to be wrong, in my opinion! 😜
July morning and Look at yourself are 2 other gems among many done by this great band. Ty for reacting to these guys!
This band has so many great songs. Try any of these -- July Morning, Shadows Of Grief, Sweet Freedom, Gypsy, Bird of Prey, Sunrise, Sweet Lorraine, The Magician's Birthday, Tales.
Pretty damn good list, one I might add would be Salisbury, but spot on.
July morning for me haunting tune
Loved it when you cranked it up !!
Yeah, you're a True Rocker !!
Uriah Heep is STILL rocking to day, 51 years in the books!!!
I'm getting older and I forget some stuff that I used to listen to but this is one I do remember. It's right on up there in my teenage memories along with Mott the Hoople's All the Way to Memphis. I don't remember any of the other songs from the albums. The phrase "I done the rancher's daughter" was what was stuck in my memories.
July Morning is the next Uriah Heep song you should check out. It's epic, and it has a lot of heart.
Blues rock is my favorite. You should try the band Free (if you have not already). Free is Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke's band before they were in Bad Company.
Easy Livin' ; Rain; Magician's birthday; July Morning; Gypsy, the list goes on.
Several of the songs by Uriah Heep are stories. Gypsy is on of my favorites.
Such an underrated band. People say “underrated” all the damn time, but it’s applicable here.
What a lot of people don't realize is that Uriah Heep is still recording an still touring after 50 years as a band. I consider their 2018 album to be one of their all time best. And if you are looking for some relatively recent songs to review, might I suggest Love in Silence (Seal of Light album) or Corridors of Madness (Celebrations album). Enjoy!
Back in the early 70's Uriah Heep was the highest decibel recorded band ever ! After listening to " Stealin' " I'm exhausted !
Uriah Heep suggestions: Gypsy, Bird of Prey, Lady in Black, Look at Yourself, Easy Livin' and The Wizard just to get started. Classic era Uriah Heep were terrific, they had singer and personnel changes over the decades and the current lineup is still awesome, but stay with early Heep for now, as there is five decades of Uriah Heep music.
You found another great classic band! Time to live is great solid track for your next Uriah Heep reaction.
Uriah Heep--Circle of Hands
This song was huge as was the band. They had a good run as a premiere show with some great songs.
The drummer, Lee Kerslake wrote the Diary of a madman album for Ozzy along with Bob Daisley who played Bass for Heep. I have a great memory of me, Mick, Lee, and Bob cruising down I-10 in my '79 T-Bird with the tops in the trunk pushing 100mph.
Look at yourself is an amazing song from them
My band plays this, we’re all in our 60s 🤘🏼
You want to hear TEN YEARS AFTER. Standing at the Station. UR Heep "Magicians Birthday"
The best era was w the original singer, David Byron. And especially w their 2nd bassist Gary Thain. 1973's Uriah Heep Live is great!
Yep the late 60s to 82 is a span that had so many artist that could come up with so much with country music included and I will say that because of the Outlaw Era with Willie and Waylon and funk soul blues Parliament /Funkadelic and new wave and rock experimentation that you could go on a listening binge for a life time of awesome stuff but there was that sweet spot as you say from 68 to 73 that does stand alone ..

The biggies!
Thank you for turning it up....I’m 65,
So many great Heep tunes... I'm almost certain Mr. Lance had a hard time just picking one!
Blues influence, definetly. That's a "boogie" beat, like John Lee Hooker. Good ear.
RIP Ken Hensley 1945-2020
Absolutely! In church! Love that organ!
I saw them live in Houston Texas in 72 I think ...anyway they put on a great show and Mick Box was an underrated guitarist.
Pilgrim from the same album is epic!
Did y'all know that Uriah Heep wrote say what you will by Fastway I saw them perform it when they came into town in the 90s and and they kicked freaking ass
Love Uriah Heep! Do "Look at Yourself" next time
Nice to hear some Uriah Heep. Gypsy or The Magician's Birthday are two fantastic songs to check out.
You are so right in saying about the transition from blues to rock!
I always loved Pilgrim from this album.
If I Had The Time from the same album rocks. Ken Hensley on vocals is great.
I can't get that song out of my head these last few weeks. A great ballad.
The Drummer for this band was Ozzy Osbourne’s Drummer on BOTH Albums The Blizzard Of Oz and Diary Of A Madman. The Drummer is the Late Lee Kerslake.
I think I have every album with this lineup purchased back in the day . I also saw them once . I barely remember any of it but I still have the ticket stub to prove to myself I was there . Lol
been with them since 1971!!!!
Going to see them May 26th 2024 .They are better than ever
1967 to 1975 the best classic music
Heep still rules!!!
Only one way to listen ............ FULL BLAST !
Uriah Heep is tops on my list. Zep heads my list!
Demons & wizards album every track will blow you away...!!! And magicians birthday also
Easy Livin'
The Wizard is a must hear Uriah Heep song.
The Wizard by Uriah Heep - Uriah Heep was a character in the book "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens.
Saw Uriah Heep in 1978! I couldn't hear for a week!
Try the song Salisbury! It will blow your mind!
Learn new stuff every day, never heard them, it's pretty awesome. Great reaction my friend . Some people my laugh but try a band called " meat Loaf' awesome singer. Thanks Lance
Great choice, love Stealing.
Paradise/the spell is my personal favorite ! 😍
Looks like Lance did it again
I lived, musically, on their third album, "Look at Yourself", for a number of years. I thought it was the greatest. I still think it is one of the greatest. Check out "Tears in my Eyes" kicking off the B side. Actually, just listen to the entire album. My favorite "Drummer" album. Ian Clarke was a monster
Very'eavy very'umble, Salisbury, Look at yourself, Demons and Wizards, Sweet Freedom, The Magician's Birthday, Wonderworld, Return To Fantasy, High and Mighty, are all very good Uriah Heep albums from the years 1970 - 1976. The lineup with David Byron on lead vocals was the best.
High & Mighty - 2 or 3 dud songs, but the rest of the album is a masterpiece! "One Way Or Another" - one of Heep's heaviest songs!
Salisbury!!
This is David Byron, great voice
I LOVE the 70thies ❤❤❤
If Lance is near my age. HE WILL NEVER FAIL.
60 ish
@@lancecornell9978 yepper
Suggestion... If you do anymore Uriah Heep reactions make sure you do them with the original singer David Byron, he was on this song... Look At Yourself or July Morning from Look At Yourself album 1971, Demons and Wizards album 1972, The Magician's Birthday album 1972
abominog was a great album regardless of david bryon being there or not
@@toxikavenger9088 So are any number of Heep albums with Bernie Shaw on vocals.
My first 8-track was Sweet Freedom, wore the hell out of that tape. Repaired it once.
Uriah Heap is one the best 70s band no one’s ever heard of…until they hear one of their songs and say “is that who sings this?, oh yeah, this guy’s pretty good” LOL
Santana - Hope You're Feeling Better.
You're welcome.
Take that back, the entire Santana Abraxas album.
Again. You're welcome.
Their song, Wizard!
Song is about growing pains
RIP: Lee Kerslake
great band my friend
I'm an old Heep fan, and I just had to laugh when you cranked the volume. That is known to happen on most stereos....looks like you enjoyed yourself...
R.I.P Ken Hensley
It's the Hammond organ!
Often called "the poor man's Deep Purple," another underrated hard rock band that used an organ.
I would rate Uriah Heep far better musicians than Deep Purple with the great voice of David Byron.
Heep was awesome. Checkout Good Lovin Gone Bad by Bad Company, too.
