Luv it when a legendary song/group grabs someone by the eardrums and fills their mind with music so rare they cant get enough of it. Enjoyed your reaction
It was a wonderful song. It was immediately added to my Playlist. I was bother happy and sad to first find out.... they are still playing today and doing great live shows... Until I found out, its barely the same band. Only one original member left.
@@antoniocarlin5026 oh no way. See thats the other thing. All these musicians and old school celebrities die and they barely get any notice. But a Kardashian gets divorced and it's talked about for weeks
@@TheRealMediaMan You're right, but they still make great music and they are an awesome live band. Though maybe not exactly the same, but still worth their money... I'm listening to them for more than 45 years now. And the albums the put out after seventies may be not the same, but every now and then, there are rough diamonds between them.
The legendary Uriah Heep. Brilliant musicians with the voice of the great David Byron. Try Pilgrim and Sunrise another 2 great tracks by Uriah Heep from the 70's.
Uriah are one of my favourite bands since the early 70s and there’s not many bands that actually have legible lyrics and understand them, Heep and Hensley mastered the art of prog rock poetry……
Idk about "all time" but he's definitely good. Butnits not just him, the organs, the drums.. the entire package here is beautiful. Some of my favorite parts of the song isn't even with him singing. It's just the band doing its thing
The Frontman and multi instrumentalist , especially the keyboards THE LATE GREAT KEN HENSLEY. RIP. He also was the writer of most of Uriah Heep's songs.Definetly one of the Icons of rock music.
Your reaction to this song was just like me. WOW ! These five men, Gary, bass- David, singer- Ken, keyboards - Lee, drums - and Mick, guitar - put Uriah Heep on the map. I lived the era and the first time I got to see Uriah Heep live was on 11-26-1972 in Toledo, Ohio and a night I will never forget. Uriah Heep still tours till today with the only original band member, Mick Box, who was in the band from the beginning. The line up now plays many, many songs from the 1972 to 1974 era and some songs before 1972 when Uriah Heep was Uriah Heep. The keyboards to this song, July Morning, the manager said this song will never be a hit but little did the manager know the band and the band knew more then the manager on music. It seemed like after 1974, things just didn't seem the same. Too many musician changes. It was the saddest moment when things started to change in early 1975. The loss of Gary Thain, bass player and David Byron, the singer, the sounds seemed gone after that. Lee, the drummer, went off to play drums for Ozzy Osborne on two of Ozzy's albums and Ken, the keyboard player left for good in 1980.
Most of their music was written by the keyboard man - Ken Hensley. I got married in July and begged my wife to have this song played at our wedding (1973) - never happened, much to my chagrin.
@@knutolabersas5601 true. They've had several different formations and several members have sadly died along the way. Still, it was a great show. Actually, there were quite a few of them that day taking turns on the stage.
If you appreciate good live performances I think you would like Nightwish with Floor Jansen being the lead vocalist from late 2012. She is the third and current singer. Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band. I love them and I have been a Uriah Heep fan since I was 14. I am 65 now.
I had the chance to speak to Mick Box last year when he called me for a special occasion, after a few minutes he told me after my question was why HEEP is still so humble and deserve to be even more a bigger band as they have been,... his reaction was priceless and said that they never really had the goal to be the biggest, like it if they did, but they just wanted to make money, make music and make the fans and the band happy, thats what it's alle about, Positivity''.. Man he got me right there, signed my Magicians Birthsday Record and even send me some other stuff including a video saw them October 2022..... Great amazing band, Uriah Heep.
@@TheRealMediaMan No worries. I saw a few others I wanna check out. Especially since you mentioned liking Jethro Tull and Dream Theater. You sound like my kinda people.
Very underrated Band and David Byron on of the best Rock voices imho Mr Mercury I think modelled himself is MR Bryson’s performance’s. Just listen to Rain he’s voice is wonderful 👍
This is still in my Playlist. It's not just the voice it's the entire structure of the song. I really like the keyboards. The dkeybosrd solo. It's so beautiful
Obviously this is a very controversial topic, but there are many who believe the 4 most influential bands in the development of rock from the sound of the 60s to today are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and Uriah Heep. This is not based on sales or chart positions but rather on how the have effected the bands which followed and how they changed the shape of the music. Now personally, I'd have placed Uriah Heep up with Pink Floyd, but I believe the list is not supposed to be in order - just the 4 pillars ... Uriah Heep, by the way, are still around and still recording and touring.
@@TheRealMediaMan Yes, I believe 4 have all died so from the original there is only Mick Box left. Even so, over the years they have had to replace members but somehow the band has managed to continue on - it helps I guess that they were generally just replacing 1 person at a time and the rest of them would help keep the band ... I was going to say "The same" but no - I would rather say that if you listen to them over time, it could almost be the original members growing in a predictable and believable manner. Of course, we will never know what the band WOULD have sounded like if all the members had lived - but to me the feel of the band has only changed in ways I would have expected. I hope that makes sense.
Beide waren großartig Allerdings: Bei der Studio-Aufnahme von July Morning spielte Manfred Mann die lange Moog-Synthesizer-Passage gegen Ende der Nummer ein. Ein weiterer Keyboard-Wizard, der übrigens heute noch immer mit seiner Earth band auf Tour unterwegs ist...

david voice always touch the heart and soul of people
It's a beautiful voice. I was immediately captivated
you should hear David's version of He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother, awesome voice.
What a voice and what a song you can't beat heep
One of the most underrated bands ever..
The legendary Uriah Heep.
Brilliant musicians with the voice of the great David Byron.
Try Pilgrim and Sunrise another 2 great tracks by Uriah Heep from the 70's.
Byron was one of the greatest frotman of the 70s and almos never mentioned.
A Legend!
Ah the 70’s my gen didn’t know how good we had it in music
A perfect song.
by the beginning of the 80`s i knew the 60`s and 70`s were by far the greatest times for music!!! since the 80`s look whats its evolved into!!
Love the group, was my Dads favourite band of all time. Such memories of me and my Dad. Well done for discovering Uriah Heep.
Just a wonderful song. Absolutely beautiful
Uriah are one of my favourite bands since the early 70s and there’s not many bands that actually have legible lyrics and understand them, Heep and Hensley mastered the art of prog rock poetry……
This is one of the best songs I've reached to. I love it
You didnt interrupt 50 times. Very respectful. David !!!!! He was amazing.
It did get a copyright strike.
Always great fun seeing Heep live for the last 30 years nearly.
I had forgotten how good it was!
I say this everywhere I can, he is the greatest singer of all time.
Idk about "all time" but he's definitely good. Butnits not just him, the organs, the drums.. the entire package here is beautiful. Some of my favorite parts of the song isn't even with him singing. It's just the band doing its thing

They got so many Great song's,,,,my favorite band!!!😇💯❤
fantastic song....but if you want the very best version, listen to that cut on the "Live 73" album!!! 10 times better!
Most of their music was written by the keyboard man - Ken Hensley. I got married in July and begged my wife to have this song played at our wedding (1973) - never happened, much to my chagrin.
Haha it would have been a great song to choose
These guys are still going and doing a fine job at it. I saw them two years ago and, at whatever age they have now, they put on one hell of a show.
hensley sadly passed away tho

@@PK1971PK I saw them back in summer 2019, maybe I got lucky. Still it is really sad news.
David Byron was King Diamons's favorite singer.
Beautiful voice
Uriah is a great influence from Blind Guardian, Demon and Wizars, Iced Earth and too much other from the covers of his albums!
Well "Demons and Wizards" call the band.... in honour to the Uriah album: "Demons and Wizards" !
David of heep and Ian of deep they’re gods of early rock era..
This song is never leaving my personal Playlist. I love it
Any other equally good songs from this era ?
@@TheRealMediaMan heep:sunrise/deep:child in time/bad company:bad company/mountain:for yasgur’s farm
Síiiiii!!! Lamento que Uriah Heep haya sido ignorado por tanto tiempo!!!
Adoro a Ian Gillan 💜 y también a David ❤
July morning for mother❤
I had all their albums and 8-tracks. Sweet Freedom album was my first that started it all. Box is the only one still in the band.
Tune how did i miss this banger great reaction too
Thank you.
This song is pure magic
This song is amazing,. Greetiings from Chile
Amazing band❤

Lol. Yea. I'll have to check her out.
One of the best voices ! R.i.p byron
You need to check out easy living and also the wizard two great songs by Uriah Heep
Live version so much better. But thanks for checking out Heep.
Next up Pilgrim by them. You'll dig it.
Suggestion: Headphones 🎧
I've had the headphones. The trouble was finding an app that would record internal and external audio.
.I've got it figured out now

saw them October 2022.....
Great amazing band, Uriah Heep.
But isn't this vocalist long dead ?
Really great story
@@TheRealMediaMan Yes, David Byron is dead for a long time Mick Box is the Guitarist
love it, try "sweet freedom" it was the first abum i bought at 14 years old
The great David Byron
Oh yea. His voice is so soothing.
Queen before Queen!
Glenn I agree Mr Mercury took his Stage Craft from David 🎤🎶👌 he was the first to put his foot on the Speaker on Stage?
Imho Mr Byron had one of the best Rock Voices 🎤🎶👌
still one of the best👌👍☝
Oh yes. It was a perfect song.
Yes ,that's really the beauty..David Byron was short time here ,but actualy forever and the everyone from the band Uriah Heep.
the best version is on the LIVE 73 album.
I’ve seen them a couple of time top band singer is in the same league as Ian gillan of deep purple
Ian Gillian not in same league vocally as David Byron who can reach such high notes- such a versatile singer.
Uriah Heep - July Morning and Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
Both catchy instrumental songs, open your door to 70' classic rock.
This song STILL hits me. I dont know why. It's absolutely beautiful
Camel, "Lady Fantasy", how about that one
Oh shit! I started looking through your videos after your Babymetal reaction. Fn subbed now.
Haha thanks.. fair warning, I'm still learning the software and editing. Some of the early videos are painful hahaha
@@TheRealMediaMan No worries. I saw a few others I wanna check out. Especially since you mentioned liking Jethro Tull and Dream Theater. You sound like my kinda people.
@@jamesmcclung153 hell ya. Enjoy
Biron is top I had the luck to be born in 52 so I got all the progression of the music first han!
Im not sure but I think only one or two of the original lineup is in the band currently.
Ken Hensley (keyboards) died on november 2020...hes was one of these
The only living member of this lineup is Mick Box .
@@rdhudon7469 Paul Newton is still alive.
@@eugenestoner2685 This lineup is considered "The classic " lineup and Gary Thain is on Bass . He OD'd in '75 .

David Byron amazing singer of Uriah Heep band cult.
Amazing song. It's still in my Playlist.
Great song by a great band. Can I now suggest you try Mockingbird by Barclay James Harvest (a band.)?
Best song Steelin
Its thee equivalent. Of that famous pink floyd song
You can only have one in your band, Ken Hemsley or Jon Lord?
Jon Lord is the master for me, but I love Ken's playing too (along with Rod Argent, Rick Wakeman...)
Beide waren großartig
Allerdings: Bei der Studio-Aufnahme von July Morning spielte Manfred Mann die lange Moog-Synthesizer-Passage gegen Ende der Nummer ein. Ein weiterer Keyboard-Wizard, der übrigens heute noch immer mit seiner Earth band auf Tour unterwegs ist...

Try "stealing" and "the wizard".
have you done high priestess yet!!
Is that a sing ?
React to Deep Purple- Child in time Live
Does not have the voice of Byron.
NONFORGETABLE , THE ONE
