I am so lucky. I got to see Uriah Heep several times. And to hear this guitar solo live, PRICELESS. Always loved Heep. Great vocals. Seemed to always open up with Bird of Prey. GREAT VOCALS!!!!!
First concert I ever went to my older brother took me....Was a hendrix / Monkees show.... Blew my MIND....The second show I went to was Uraiah Heep opening for 3 Dog Night.... Loved Uriah Heep, and this was the BEST show I had ever seen.... April 1969 at Miami University in Ohio...I still have the ticket stub.... :) I can still recall them playing Salisbury... Great Band!!
Agree with everything except the Heep gig date. It was 17th April 1971 in Ohio. It was Heep's first USA tour. Iain Clark the drummer had just joined 4 months earlier (Dec 1970) Keith Baker the drummer on Salisbury had left before the album was released in Feb 70 . Saw them live in Cardiff Wales in Jan 70, also played Salisbury. Phenomenal performance and band. Did you know Uriah Heep's very FIRST gig was 20th March 1970 at the Technical College in Salisbury, Wiltshire U.K. From where the album name derives.
Incredible track, so frustrating talking to people who profess to being into 70s rock and have never listened to this amazing band, great to see so many appreciative comments on here.
probably one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, and I've heard most of them!!

Mick Box, Gary Thain, Lee Kerslake, David Byron, Ken Hensley...
You've got my heart since. Great music.
Thain & Kerslake came later. The original musicians on Salisbury were Paul Newton (bass) and Keith Baker (drums)
Uriah Heep in this period was the first gig I ever attended I was 13 y.o. ....the journey stil goes on....

You can hear Mick Box click on his wah wah pedal before each solo. What a great time to see a band Love Uriah Heep!!!
Yep, sure was. And I saw them play Salisbury live in Cardiff Jan 71.
July Morning is a must for those who liked this classic song.
i like a lot of Uriah heep songs but 'SALISBURY was my favorite LP.
URIAH HEEP, in my memory, for ever....
I am pleased that everyone likes it. It is my all time favorite!
I absolutely love this. Since the 1970s. Wish my daughter Marlo would play this lead for me on her violin. ⚘
This iis the best LP of uriah heep 1970 Salisbury 👍
guitar solos are awsome
This has to be one of the best guitar solos (and with wah) in rock history. And it was back before all the high speed fingering was common in rock.
@heep58 i saw the Heep in Buffalo in the 70's and still remember how mind blowing they were. Mick put on one hell of a show
Great guitar work and very unique sounding group.. nice 👍🏼
Take the complete albums salisbury, innocent victim and look at yourself.... They Live still on, i hear them still after more then 30 years.
I want my daughter to do this on her violin. This is rather dope guitar.
..just great >> thanks for uploading it ..
my very first LP and especially this part is awesome
this is like a story in music form(inspiring).
reminds a lot to what Deep purple did some years before with "April", an absolute masterpiece as "salisbury"...
Dope... Love this. Want my daughter Marlo Zemartis violinist composer to this tune. ✌
