-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Stealin' is my absolute favorite Uriah Heep song.
Definitely should be next!
The epitome of a banger! Classic tune!
Same!
If "Easy Livin" is A+, then "Stealin" has gotta be S-Tier.
Yep, no doubt.
Another great Uriah Heep song is The Wizard. Please check it out soon.
I think A&A did that song on a livestream and they weren't impressed.
Came down here to say that.
I saw them do The Wizard at Top of the Pops in 1972. I'm actually in the footage near the end on the left. czcams.com/video/jOVaSUMh_Mo/video.html
This was from 1972 from the "Demon and Wizards" album....one of my all-time favorite albums. Uriah Heep was an album band rather than a singles band. They didn't have many "hits", but a good one was "That's The Way That It Is" from 1983. That's one you might want to check out.
And I still have it. Demons and Wizards. Love it
My favorite Uriah Heep song!
In 1974, RUSH opened for Uriah Heep. They were VERY influential influence at that time. Deep Purple formed in 1968. Uriah Heep in 1969. Both in London. Both are considered pioneers of heavy metal, hard & progressive rock. Deep Purple's drummer, Ian Paice, is on the list of all time greatest drummers that no one ever talks about. AMAZING! He's also a lefty, like me.
My son Ian may have been named after Ian Paice or Gillan or Anderson or Hunter or McCulloch or all of them...
Yeah, pioneers for sure. As a wee lad of literally 8 or 9 ('72 or '73), I was given my first two rock albums: Deep Purple - Fireball and UH - Demons and Wizards. I'll always lump the two of them together as they were pretty much my introduction to hard rock and roll. They still stand as classics
@bobgorman… Correct!! ...Ian Paice is the greatest for me! ...The reason he stays out of the spotlight is probably because he's such a quiet guy. Most of the time, the more scandals someone makes, the more famous they become!! ... Ian Paice NEVER had a scandal, with drugs and the like! ...He still shows outstanding performance today (after 55 years)!!
One of the most underrated rock bands ever! The Heep for the RRHOF!
Next Uriah Heep song should definitely be either JULY.MORNING or TEARS IN MY EYES. Both of them are unforgettable Bangers!
This^^
Definitely, the slide guitar in "Tears In My Eyes" is great.
Let's not forget Bird of Prey as well..🤘
July Morning intro is my phone ringtone
Uriah Heep was HUGE in the early-mid 70s. I had their double live album, 'Uriah Heep Live (January 1973)' as an 8-track and played the crap out of it!! ❤
Funny you say that - this may be the first time I've heard it NOT on an 8-track 😊
@@sherigrow6480 I sold the last of my 8-track tapes in 1978. I do have the CD, 'The Best of Uriah Heep' now
Kick ass organ playing in Speedwagons' 'Roll With The Changes' . You two need that song in your lives 😊
Yes to this👆 100%. Along with Gary Richrath's scorching guitar this song totally rocks. Really listen to the studio cut from the LP "You Can Tune a Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish" not the live version.
Ok, A&A do this!! haha
Not really... Sounds like a keyboard solo by a halfway proficient 8th grader.
@@JimGeigerMusic I'll agree inasmuch as even though I knew they grew a big regional live following early doors, I've always thought, once they got radio attention and a new deal, REO Speedwagon just put out mealy mouthed, middle-of-the-road, "Let's please the label execs, I just bought a house" crap. And it just got worse from there with MTV. *_Ridin' The Storm Out_* is the only song I'm willing to listen to now, and even that kinda sucks. I'm out after the first verse and chorus, with a bad taste in my mouth. Their '80s writing is eminently face-punchable.
One of my all time favorite bands! David Byron amazing vocals! Hensley so good on organ!
Ken Hensley was good on guitar and vocals too. If you've never heard it you should check out Hensley's solo album "Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf"
The Tears In My Eyes from Uriah Heep Live 1975. Ultimate banger!!!!
My first concert was KISS in 1976, and Uriah Heep opened the show. They totally blew me away and been a big fan ever since!! "Lady in Black", "Look at Yourself", "The Wizard", "Gypsy", so many more.
I saw them on the same KISS tour. Great opener....if I remember! lol
Saw that show in Ft Worth.
Yep saw the same tour and immediately loved Uriah Heep
Same here, same year and the same tour. Lakeland Civic Ctr, Lakeland, Florida.
Fun fact:
Uriah Heep took their name from a character in Charles Dickens' classic novel "David Copperfield".
You should also check out " Lady In Black" and "Free Me" and "Love Or Nothing". Also, " Look At Yourself " is a real banger and has fantastic guitar work.
I recall studying David Copperfield in early '70s high school (emphasis on 'high') and when Uriah's character was introduced the whole class was like 'wait a minute . . .'
Back in the day when rock groups were rooted in literature and literacy. The Doors, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Steppenwolf, The Velvet Underground, Mott the Hoople, to name a few
I also had a children's book I don't remember who wrote it but Uriah Heap was the nice monster
Uriah Heep was the avaricious, unctuous, Gollum-like money lender in David Copperfield.
Uriah Heep! 🤘🏻
Would LOVE to hear a reaction to Stealin’!!!
Heep went through a few drummers. The longest lasting and best known being Lee Kerslake, who was with Ozzy later on. Incredible drummer. R.I.P.
I strongly suggest "Look At Yourself", that's a straight banger and even stronger than "Easy Livin' "... my opinion
Anything off of the Look At Yourself album!
Stealin' was their other BIG hit... and it's a HEATER! Also, "WIzard" and "Gypsy" are notable bangers, along with a bunch of other tunes throughout their decades long history as a band
Often overlooked was the harmonizing talent of this band. Some of the best I've ever heard,
Uriah Heep have a varied song catalogue and could be called (arguably) the first progressive metal band as their first album came out in 1970. Top tracks to check out the wide scope/style of their music: Gypsy (a heavy rocker from their debut album), The Park (a beautiful ballad from their second release, Salisbury), July Morning (an incredible epic from their third album, Look At Yourself), The Wizard (opening track from their fourth and most popular album, Demons And Wizards), Stealin' (probably the band's second most popular song), and Rainbow Demon (a strong deep cut from Demons And Wizards). Those songs are good starting points for the David Byron (vocalist) era of the band.
You've just stepped into fifty three years of a class act. The album cover is absolutely fantastic art. Enjoy guys. Great reaction!👍👍🤟🤟
Hi coming from England
Listening to ROCK Music in my Teens I am now retired and still listening to this Awesome music👍👍👍👍
All the best
The song Magician's Birthday from the album of the same name. One of the greatest guitar solos ever!
Absolutely!!!
Finally hitting one of the best metal bands ever. Listen to Salisbury (long song) and you will be a fan for life like me. Have seen them live 3 times - so much fun. Ken Hensley died in 2020 RIP - huge loss and they have lost other members as well - The original lead singer David Byron died in 1985. Mick Box - one of the most underrated guitar players ever - thankfully is still with us.
Like Black Sabbath and Rush, Uriah Heep could do both short radio friendly songs and long epic bangers. For the latter, I suggest July Morning and The Magician's Birthday. Stealin' is their other big hit. Gypsy is also awesome.
I think this was the first Uriah Heep song I heard. I became a fan. Stealin' or The Wizard would be good follow-up songs. Sweet Lorraine is also one of my favorites.
WOW. This song is ancient, but still wild and "balls to the wall"! I can't help but sing along every time I hear it. Thanks, guys.
Tight band with great vocals and excellent musicians !!! "Easy Livin'" was a staple for us Hammond organ players, and Ken Hensley was a Master of it !!! SO much fun to play !!! Check out "Circle of Hands" for your next foray into Heep.
Hensley didn't consider himself to be a good keyboard player (I disagree with him about that!). He said he was better at guitar.
@@johnstorton I disagree with Ken's statement big time !!! Now, I will admit that there was nothing that he played that I couldn't. But his style was very fluid and natural (unlike, say Emerson, as his stuff always cramped up my hands, fingers and wrists). But I grew up on Ken, Jon Lord, Wakeman, et al. I just really enjoyed playing his parts, and the snorting Hammond tone was always a blast to crank up !!!
Ah where should you go from here? I would recommend: Gypsy - Look at Yourself - The Wizard - The Magicians Birthday - Lady in Black - Sweet Lorraine - Sunrise - Bird of Prey - Circle of Hands - July Morning. Honestly guys Uriah Heep ranks right up there with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple IMHO. Amazing group thanks for the reacting I love watching you guys listen to a great song from long ago and see the looks on your faces!
This is the magic of this channel. I'm 39, grew up listening to my mom's old Beatles records, and I thought I was pretty well versed in classic rock for someone of my age. I love seeing your fresh insights into songs I've known for ages - but occasionally you hit a song I didn't know. I was aware of the name Uriah Heep, but had never heard them until today, and I'm so glad I have. If I'd known of this song 20 years ago I'd have been playing it constantly. So yes, you're encountering new music because of your channel, but on occasion so are we - and that's the magic. Great job.
Gotta say I'm 60, and the name Uriah Heep is only vaguely familiar... and it still might be from my reading Dickens. I've obviously missed out all this time.
I'm 50, and still too young to have been a Uriah Heep fan back in their original days of the early '70s, but by the early '80s, I was discovering their music through the record collections of my parents' frienda. Very cool band who combine hard rock, metal, and progressive rock. They have a large album catalogue and are actually still recording and touring today, with a new album out this year!
@@christianman73ow. That’s pretty cool. I’m 76 and was just coming out of college when they landed. I know the name and a few songs but never got into them deeply. Funny that they’re British because they sound SO southern rock to me. I guess I always lumped them together with Molly Hatchet in my mind. I have no idea why.
Have you heard any Molly Hatchet? You might like some of their biggest hits, if you like this
Check out Stealin’, it’s their other classic rock hit. The band Be Bop Deluxe is worth a listen, too.
Good choice, i love the organ. 'Look at yourself', 'Gypsy' and 'Bird of prey' are among my favourites
Thanks for bringing me back to the mid-70s. It's been a long, long time since I've heard this great tune.
Saw them once in concert had a few of their albums on my regular play list, then tragedy struck. My girlfriend and I went our separate ways and she ended up with my albums. So again thank you for bringing back a treasured memory!! 😎
Dude, that IS tragic! She got ALL the albums?
@scottingram7634 yup..... love sucks especially when you are the only one left. 😎
David Byron - lead vocals
Mick Box - guitar
Lee Kerslake - drums, percussion, backing vocals
Gary Thain - bass guitar
Ken Hensley - organ, backing vocals
You know, I know allot of the members of allot of the classic bands, but none of these names are familiar to me. Do you know if any of them had other projects/solo stuff?
That lineup is the best Uriah Heep lineup, awesome musicians!
@@helenespaulding7562 Lee Kerslake played drums in Ozzy Osbourne's first post-Sabbath band Blizzard of Ozz and played on his first two solo albums...
Ken Hensley did a stint with Blackfoot.
If I remember correctly David Byron got electrocuted on stage a couple of times due to a badly grounded microphone. I believe he died young.
There are soo many great songs to get to from the early/mid 70s version of Uriah Heep: Lady in Black, Look at Yourself, Bird of Prey, Rainbow Demon, Gypsy, Firefly, Fallen Angel ... but they're just the path leading to their Magnum Opus of the day, a truly astonidhing tune called Salisbury. Salisbury is one of those songs that should be at the top of every 70s rock fans wishlist to hear.
Gosh, this brings back memories. My first gig was Uriah Heep at the Winter Gardens Eastbourne on Monday 4/3/1985.
Wizard, gypsy, look at yourself, sunrise, july morning, bird of prey.
Such an underrated band, glad you guys got around to them.
Loved it! As has been suggested Stealin' is another absolutely banger by them that you should follow up with. If I might suggest another hard rock blaster, please check out Under My Wheels by Alice Cooper, a precursor to punk and an absolute rock classic. Thanks y'all!
OMG about time my boys are hitting The Heep....such an amazing band ❤️
Album: Uriah Heep Live, January 1973
Song: Gypsy
The entire album is 🔥
Edit: the name of the album is just "Uriah Heep - Live" on CZcams. I was looking at the album cover when I wrote this ha ha
One of the pioneers of metal, heavily underrated! They actually jammed with Deep Purple in 1970
Saw them live at the old Chicago International Amphitheater in 1975. They were a rocking band!!
I was there too
They played with Manfred Mann and his Earth Band.
Demons and Wizards needs a full album listen
I absolutely agree 100%
I am SO happy you like UH. First band I ever saw live when I was 15 and it was this line up. "Stealin" "The Wizard" the beautiful "Rain" or "Sunrise". A+
Very underrated British band who were unfortunately up against giants at that time.
Very ‘eavy,Very ‘umble is a great album and does what it says on the cover.
Charles Dickens played a big part in this band.
URIAH HEEP LEGENDS
Great song thanks guys. Kinks Destroyer has another grooving bassline you will like. It's mid career for them so it's later than you've heard before.
Great suggestion!!!
YES another criminally under-reacted-to band
Paranoia the destroyer!
Easily one of their best! I have that and a few others on my channel.✌
My big brother bought me this album when I was 10. I spent many days lying on my bed listening to this on repeat well into my teen years, and still play it regularly at age 60. Circle of hands, from this album is on the playlist for my funeral, the only part of my funeral I have planned for or care about.
Uriah Heep has a huge catalog and every damn time the reaction crowd picks the same three songs.
Great band. Try "Stealin'" - fantastic song. My one & only knock against "Easy Livin'" has always been that it's too short.
Well this sure brings back memories. Got to see them in concert when this album came out. I had a very detailed recurring dream for decades triggered by the album cover art. True story.
its call an acid flashback.... ha
All right Uriah Heep! been waiting a long time for this! Could Budgie be next?!
One of my absolute favorite Uriah Heep songs! Rock on boys 🤟🏼
I saw Uriah Heep in Glasgow, Scotland back in 1975 in the Apollo Theater. One of the best concerts I've ever witnessed. Thanks for reviewing.
Check out their original power ballad "July Morning."
I became a fan of Uriah Heep during the 80s with their Abominog album! Later I found their 70s hits.
Forgot about that tune!!!!! It’s awesome!!!!!!
Thank you for revisiting prog again! Another good band from back in the day that put out some great music! Demons and Wizards a great album as well as The Magician's Birthday.
Uriah Heep!!!!! About time!!! Thank you! An excellent rabbit hole to go down!
Loved this song back in the day
My first concert along with ZZ Top and Earth Wind and Fire. Uriah Heep has always been a favorite
As mentioned before, UH is often compared to Deep Purple because of similar instrumentation and basically from the same era--heavy sound obtained by the heavy hammond organ playing the same riff as the guitar and sometimes the bass but UH has vocal harmonies--and lead singer Byron a different style. Byron is right up there with other vocalists of the era as far as talent, no back seat to Plant, Gillan, Daltry, better than Ozzie. For a UH vocals showcase do "July Morning" or "Circle of Hands". "Stealin'" is right there too and just general goodness. Lee Kerslake who passed not long ago is another under-rated drummer--he and guitarist Mick Box duel it out in the middle section of "The Magician's Birthday"--an extended track deep cut. Also one of the best rock and roll medleys you'll ever want to hear is on their 1973 live album. Lots of other good tracks as you've seen in the comments.
My band plays this one as a totally self-indulgent pleasure. Not too many in the audience know it, but it's soooo fun to play!!! lol
I was 9 years old when I got a who and blue cheer summer time blues and this album great song
Brings back great memories of about 1974 cruising around town with my buddy in his 1967 Mustang convertible and Uriah Heep 8-tracks blasting on the the stereo. I always thought that Uriah Heep was one of the inspirations for the "Spinal Tap" movie.
The whole album Live ‘73 is worth listening to its brilliant
I saw them on October 26, 1972 at the Paramount Theatre in Portland, OR. Amazing show! It was Savoy Brown, Miller Anderson, and Uriah Heep. The show started around 7:00 PM and I don't think we got out of there until after 1:00 am. A girl in the audience sat on this big vial of hash oil and broke it. She and her boyfriend started yelling for everyone to get over to them and get some. Freaking epic time. 😎🥴
It's about time. I have been recommending Heep to you guys for years. Rainbow Demon, The Wizard, Stealin', etc.
Love Uriah Heep have all their albums so many great songs! Rainbow Demon, Circle of Hands, Stealin', July Morning, The Wizard thanks for this looking forward to more from Heep! ❤️✌️
I saw Uriah Heep open in the fall of 1983 for Def Leppard and they were so awesome
An incredibly talented band that fit right into the heavy rock/prog sound I love so much (and is sadly too rare). David Byron had an amazing voice. You can't go wrong with any of their early stuff (thought their newer album Wake the Sleep is incredible). Some hidden gems of theirs are The Pilgrim, Magicians' Birthday, Suicidal Man, High Priestess. So many more to list...
Big rock tv show in those days was Don Kirshner’s “Midnight Special.” Uriah Heep appeared frequently. First place I heard this song.
Second “Stealin’ “ as next from this band.
Love this song (for decades already👨🏼🦳) and it’s one of my favorites. Great album by the way.
My most favorite Uriah Heep song is Lady in Black.
I have chills you finally got to the heep now circle of hands please
July Morning, The Wizard, Look at yourself all good'uns!
Heap on the praise, very underappreciated band of that era.
A much underappreciated band.
Great song and that Roger Dean album artwork, just brilliant... nothing like sitting with new vinyl, diving into the artwork and the liner notes with that first spin...
My very first concert. 14 years old, still many years away from my first high, my mind absolutely exploded. Watching this was a time machine. Thank you.
This was incredible in concert in 1975!
Yes! World Series of Rock in Cleveland on August 23, 1975. Rod Stewart and the Faces, Uriah Heep, Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult and Mahogany Rush!
@@neilyoungfan mine was Uriah Heep and Three dog night and the ticket was $3.50! Peace and love!
I saw UH headline at their unfortunate appearance at the Spectrum in 1974. They ended up getting jeered on stage, not because they happened to be in Philadelphia, but because Dave Byron was so wasted that he could barely stand. It was a three act bill… Manfred Mann’s Earth Band opened and they were followed by the Climax Blues Band. Both of these bands performed brilliantly and they were both brought back for encores. By the time that UH hit the stage it was rather late in the evening and Byron was staggeringly drunk. Apparently at the time he had a bit of an alcohol addiction problem and he let his problem adversely impact his performance. It was unfortunate because UH was gaining a fan base because of their hit single “Easy Living.” The band sacked Byron sometime later because of his addiction. What a shame… the guy had some pipes and this band put out a number of very good albums.
I SAW THEM BACK IN 81 AT THE "Q" IN SAN DIEGO WOOOOOOT!!!
AWESOME SONG AND DAVID BYRON VOCALS ❤❤
Just classic Uriah Heep. I’ve had this album since I was like 12 it never gets old.
I must have seen the Heep a dozen times back in the day. They were always on tour.
College days listening to this and Stealin over and over. Great cover art too.
Uriah Heep opening for Jethro Tull at Cobo Arena in Detroit was my first concert at age 16. Heep blew up the stage which had to be repaired before Tull could come out and play. Memories....Sweet Lorraine is another banger.
I give each of y'all one and a half gold stars!
This was one of the first 45s I owned. I was about 12 listening to this on a small record player. Very Lo Fi system but I still loved to listen to this and the other 45s I had including Motorcycle Mama by Sailcat. They were part of a "six pack" of 45s I won from a local radio station. Another in the collection was Woman from Tokyo by Deep Purple. Another classic of the era that brings back memories of playing records in my room pretending to be a DJ. It's been so long I don't remember them all but another was The Fabulous Rhinestones' song "What A Wonderful Thing We Have". Keep up the good work!
URIAH HEEP! Great songs... they have many! I hope you get back to them... Stealin', Rainbow Demon, Gypsy, Pilgrim, July Morning... And if you want one of the greatest ballads of all time... listen to Rain
One of the most underrated bands of all time…imo
They were incredible live band.
I had to take my blood pressure pill after listening to that one! Very monotone but in a good way. Never heard this before - thanks for sharing.
“July Morning “ and “Stealin’” also excellent!!
Demons and Wizards was a huge album when I was in High School.
"Paradise/The Spell" is another great song from the Demons & Wizards Album, but then again, the entire album is great and still holds up after 50 years. Check out their song "Tears In My Eyes" too. It's a BANGER with some killer slide guitar in it.
Love Demons and Wizards….great album!
"July Morning" remains the brass ring of Uriah Heep songs. It's a ten minute piece, but highlights all the best of the band's traits and their prog aspirations.
URIAH HEEP LIVE!!! Must Listen. Best Live Album IMO!!
This is one of their most radio played and recognized songs. Short, up tempo, and everything you could ask for in 2,5 minutes Iagree on that with you. But they also made epic rock ballads. July Morning is worthy to be next on your Uriah Heep quest. Cheers!
Next hard Rocking song
Alice Cooper( with Donovan)
Billion Dollar Babies (73) 🔥 🔥
Alice is in his 70's and stilling releasing albums and touring!
Seems to get better & better!!
yeh jg they just put out deluxe billion and killer cd and vinly not im store yet but did see some of a review looks pretty awesome but sure to be expensive
@@marktait2371 Have to ask my friend if he purchased.
This song is filthy... in the best possible sense. Love the bass sounds of Gary Thain. Sorry, you changed your mind regarding the similarities to Roger Glover, Deep Purple's bassist. I love the melodic bass runs of Deep and Heep. Also, love how you guys listen to many whole albums.... and listening to the entire album Demons and Wizards gives great context for the band and their singles.
