songs like this changed my life in many ways
I love Uriah Heep ❤ LOVE David Byron!!
Always loved this song!
“Demons & Wizards” and “The Magician’s Birthday” were the key one-two punch for Uriah Heep in the early ‘70s. Every track on both albums are excellent.
The whole album is great!!!! By the time this album came out the fans realized these guys were melodic rockers. And the rest of their discography reflects this.
Longtime fan of Uriah Heep. Saw them live around 1975. Blew me away. Check out the song Come Away, Melinda to further explore their diversity.
FINALLY!!!! A Real Reaction to The Super Group Uriah-- I Used To Dream of These Mystical Places In The 70's!! Bravo
I saw Uriah Heep in concert in the early 70's. The sound of them in the arena was great! Terribly underrated band!
Love Uriah Heep and my favorite, July Morning, Look at Yourself and every song song on the Magicians Birthday especially the Spell
This is such an Iconic album. There's not a bad song on this album.
For years, Uriah Heep occupied the zone between Heavy Rock and Prog, somewhere between Deep Purple and Yes; this album as a whole was definitely a Prog project. Their earlier (1971) and longer song "July Morning" is a great example of their Prog leanings and was a concert staple.
A very valid description.
I'm 69 and saw in the 70s sometimes it's nice to here songs where you can sit back and enjoy the journey
From the 1972 album, " Demons and Wizards" it was the first record released from the album.
Ken Hensley had a persistent dream for over a week and co wrote the song regarding it. A gentle semi acoustic ballad about a wanderer meeting the Wizard of a thousand Kings. David Bryon was the singer with great vocals. The guitars are so groovy. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Robert. 👏👏
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Singer was David Byron. Clarke was their bassist for the prior album only (Look At Yourself). T
@TerryKrysinski Thanks.You're correct with David Bryon. Wiki listed Mark Clarke as backing vocals. Who can you trust?
✌️👍🎶🇨🇦

My Mom listened to this over and over and over on vinyl when I was growing up. Still love it today. What a great band, with a signature sound. You know, most Metal and Rock singers are really great vocalists, if you listen closely. it’s not an easy genre to sing, especially live for years and decades. Also, was lucky enough to see them live a couple of times, and they sound great live. Agree, their harmonies are amazing.
A favorite of mine on its release during mu senior year in high school. Great band. Loved Stealin’ as well. ✌️❤️🎶
The whole of "Demons and Wizards" is simply amazing.
This was one off my fav songs...
My best friend of almost 70 years his favorite song
Loved it from the beginning. Look At Yourself and Tears In My Eyes are bangers you should hear !
Harri, we listened smoking Golden Hash and drinking wine. Thank you for your expertise!
Demons amd Wizards was an awesome album. Bought it when I was in high school.
If you really want to be amazed by Uriah Heep, listen to their epic song "Salisbury" You won't believe your ears.
They were amazing live. 1972 or 73. The night saw them, Deep Purple were Headliners. Buddy Miles, first was Uriah Heep, all hell broke loose when UH was about half into their set. Those on LSD lost their minds, screaming, mad rushing for the doors, hitting the walls, and rows of seats. The song ended, and light came so folks could. It was crazy that night.
One of the best albums ever.Still strong today .Rodger Dean's album artwork just tops off the package.
Trust me Hari us Uriah Heep fans loved this song. Try the song Look At Yourself
My favorite Heep tune! Thanks for the reaction and gettin back to some rockers!✌
I've been enjoying this song for many years. One of my all time favorites.
I love so many of their songs, but Lady in Black and Firefly are 2 of my favorites. And the few times I saw them in concert, they opened with Easy Living - a great start to get the audience all revved up.
This was one of their first records. They have had a new singer for over 35 yrs
This is one of the first three albums fI owned - my parents got it for me for Christmas.
One of UH's best tracks. Another track that Harri really needs to hear is "Stealin". Uriah Heep was actually the name of the villain in the Charles Dickens novel Davis Copperfield.
Can only speak for myself but, I loved all their music. IMO, bands were not picked into just one type of songs. Made concerts fantastic!!
Uriah Heep (your I ah- heap) They've always had beautiful songs & then rocked their arse's off. Even some Jazz influenced 'Wake up' to a symphonic masterpiece 'Salisbury' especially when Ken Hensley was the main song writer. I saw them live in Madrid, John Wetton from Asia was on bass, He did a bass solo that had the 2 musicians I went with along with my sister. Their jaws dropped during his bass solo, I've never heard a bass solo sound like lead guitar! It's before David Byron's alcoholism brought about him being replaced. The first vocalist was a decent replacement but Hensley left the band, did a few albums with Blackfoot. But got out of the business long enough to kick his cocaine addiction & had made some of his best solo work after heep. 'I did it all' 'Send me an Angel'' I could name 50! But 'Rain' is up there as far as one of their most beautiful songs. I played it in several bands & it filled the dance floor many belt buckles were shined & several rubbed potty places Lol! To me that's what made Uriah heep who they were, they can rock with the best. Hensley's Hammond B3 & slide guitar work is top notch, Mick Box on guitar was very under rated. David Byron vocals had an unbelievable range & Lee Kerslake on drums, Gary Thain on bass, then Wetton RIP Ken, Gary (75) Byron (78?) & Ken & Lee have recently passed. My early teens as I switched from Keyboards to guitar driven by Mark Farner of Grand Funk who wrote 92% of their material. 11 gold & 10 Platinum which by now with CD sales & online sales of LP's I'm sure several are double platinum by now. They were the first American band to start out with 10 straight Platinum albums, the critics hated them, mostly due to their thieving manager Terry Knight who insisted that he do all the interviews with the media. That rubbed many the wrong way, they were 19 & 20!when they opened the Atlanta pop festival they ended up playing every day & ended up closing the concert! All in 3 day's. 160-185,000 people & Grand Funk after opening for LED Zeppelin twice, Zeppelin stopped them twice, afraid to follow that much energy. First in Cleveland the 2nd & last time in Detroit which they claim since they're all from Flint. The home of the Fisher body plant when GM had a huge line of vehicles. But Mark inspired me to learn guitar & sing. By 75 I was hired by a pro band in Spain, 3 months before I graduated & stayed an extra 14 months as lead singer & shared lead &
rhythm guitar with the only Spanish guy in the band. The rest GI's. They were my 2 favorite bands with Badfinger especially the Album ,' Straight up' several songs were both produced by & he played slide with Pete Hamm the one & only George Harrison. They were signed to Apple records. Pete Hamm wrote Nelson's 'Without you' also done by Mariah Carey. Love the channel disabled since 95 it provides entertainment during the far too often stuck in bed. Thx Ric C.
It was almost an unspoken rule that hard rock or heavy metal bands had to have a ballad in their repertoire, especially after Stairway to Heaven. This song always remined me of deep purples "Temple of the king, and King Crimsons The court of the crimson king.
Deep Purple's "Child in Time".
Name Uriah Heep is from the Dickens novel A Christmas Carol
Great song Still have the album from way back
Loved this song from the first time I heard it way back in the day. The entire album was a bit off the path of their first three as Ken Hensley took us down a fantasy trip.
Great band! Saw them open for April Wine in 1982 fantastic show!
Yep , Heep was prog / psycedelic band with a great 60s sound .
Hey Harri, thanks for this and their name is pronounced U-ri-ah, Heap but spelled Heep.
Some of Uriah Heep's best tunes were their more mellow ones. These guys were NOT a one trick hard-rock-and-only-hard-rock pony. And David Byron was great at the ballads/mellower tunes.
I love their heavier songs, but this is also one of my favorites!
I'm a frustrated scifi writer, I've always thought the "The Rainbow Demon" is the greatest name sor a sword and sorcery villian.
Right on in fact do the whole album.
It’s a story. U gotta listen to the whole thing.
Harri-- Uriah Heep has many albums and are still active today with original guitarist Mick Box. Their first few albums had fab vocalist David Byron. I wasn't much into much of their catalog after his departure until more recently with singer Bernie Shaw (who sounds quite like Byron,really). This album,Demons & Wizards,along with Look At Yourself,are bangers--every song! A newer one with Shaw that is very good is titled 'Wake The Sleeper'. Dive in! T
❤
🥰🥰🥰
If you loved this one. Try Tales by Uriah Heep.
Nah... saw em a few times in the 70s and loved every song. I remember my older brother walking through the door with that album when it came out. Saw em probably a month later. I was like 14 ?
Dave Byron on vocals. One of the greats and gone too soon.
Mick Box only original member still living.
Uriah Heep 🎶. Like Tull. Enough Said 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Excellent choice and album.
This song is off one of their most popular album Demons &Wizards from 1972.
Try, Circle of Hands same album
For me it was the late Ken Hensley and the unique voice of the late David Byron !! My favorite songs were Salisbury and July morning !!!
The guy who sings this song (David Byron) isn’t pictured on the band photo you showed
Do Stealing sometime.
Harri-- for your own enjoyment, do you EVER listen to these albums from start to finish. You have such an obvious appreciation for the artists and music, but so often the intention they have is a complete performance experience. They sound out of context for many of us boomers.
You mention the “soft” songs…there was almost a full variety on even the hardest rock LPs.
Maybe you should become a Heapster?????.... Sir????😮😅
If you want REALLY soft, try "Rain" from their next album, The Magician's Birthday.
Rainbow Demon bloke!
These guys were as good as anybody in the first half of the 70's before they kicked out the singer for drinking too much.
Ballads make the bread.
Try Juicy Lucy, song Pretty Woman
It's He--ep
Too soft? They do many songs like this. They are first story tellers.
