    Uriah Heep was a poor man's Deep Purple. Great LIVE act from 72-76 when 0:21 Gary Thain got electrocuted on stage in Dallas. I was there 6 feet away front row. Dude went stiff and fell flat on his face. Byron said "Sorry we gotta go...but we'll be back next year and play for FREE"....and they did!

      Went to see Heep with some friends. They were opening for Kiss.
      That's right, we were there to see Uriah Heep. And they didn't disappoint.
      We did stay for Kiss to see the fire show, etc. The first song they played was Detroit Rock City. It's probably my favorite song of theirs. It was unrecognizable until it was half over. I wondered if they had a soundcheck. But UH sounded great from note one.

      It must be a special kind of burden as the last man standing, but Mick comes off as such a humble guy grateful for what he has gotten to do over all these decades, and he deserves credit for still doing it as someone who left his youth way behind him.

    This was truly an amazing band. All supremely talented and David Byron was a great singer and very charismatic front man. I saw them right around this time opening for Emerson Lake and Palmer when ELP was at the peak of their Brain Salad Surgery era. Remember when you could see a show and sometimes have two or three bands that were all headliners in one night. Wow. Glad I was a teenager at that time. We may not have been the Greatest Generation, but we were sure as fuck the Luckiest Generation. Hey, that would make a good book.

    Saw Heep 5 times in Baltimore/Washington/Harrisburg PA ‘73-‘76, 4 times with this (best) lineup. I was a bit of a junky. Rock and Roll Medley off their live album at the Harrisburg show was off the charts. We met them getting in limos afterward and I got picks from MB and a friend got a set of sticks from LK. Manfred Manns Earth Band and Blue Oyster Cult led off. MMEB doing Father of Night Father of Day was intense, especially Mick Rogers’ guitar lead. Good memories 😊

It was a lifetime ago!! BOC backed up UH twice (once in Landover 1975 and once in Harrisburg 1974), and strangely (I thought) Earth, Wind and Fire and little known ZZ Top did in Baltimore in 1973. By the second time in Landover 1976 they had become the backup to BOC. Wetton had taken over for the late Gary Thain at that point (Return to Fantasy tour).
