Answering your question in the video: Yes, Ken is a genius.

Gary Thain... Just an amazing bassist in my opinion.

[@joemartucci4786]

Best lineup Gary Thain....such a great bassist. Great songwriting great vocals & harmonies.

[@heimomoilanen2648]

All Top of the Pops, in England, were lip syncing
Thanks for posting. What a great band they were, the best line-up with Thain and maestro Byron

Thanks for posting; very cool stuff. I was at that concert at the Auditorium in "72". It was the only concert where I saw a big-time band play a song twice, which was, in fact, "Easy Livin'. It was always a bonus to see concerts there (or Aragon Ballroom) versus the bigger acts at Chicago Stadium or Amphitheater, where the sound was never good bouncing around off the concrete.

[@nadsylvanofficial7944]

The song is called ”The Wizard”, from the Demons and Wizards album.

[@paulhart3812]

Can’t wait to see Uriah Heep doing THE WIZARD live in your studio.

[@glebell]

Thank You looking forward to more heep

[@TheBassmon]

[@waynetraube4853]

I knew Ken Hensley back in the 70s and early 80s when he was a representative for St. Louis music company on Ferguson Avenue in Pagedale, Missouri. Would see him a few times because I knew a girl that worked there great guy.. laid-back quiet

[@josephcobain7276]

Thanks for posting man, looking forward to hearing “the Wizard” live in Chicago

[@UserUli]

Lip syncing is normal in tv, even these days. Doesnt mean they were Milli Vanilli😂

[@toosecrettotell9335]

Thank you! Looking forward to hearing more about Uriah Heep

[@steveelliott5643]

[@olliebeak131]

Never thought I'd hear Gary THain talk!

[@user-ud3th2fk8l]

The best Uriah heep.

[@nastoykanagnidah]

Чёрт его знают о чём говорят, но какие же они прикольные!

[@toastertwo1602]

Девид начал с того, как записали Easy Livin'. Потом Гэрри добавил от себя что Кен пишет больше всех, Кен рассказал о том откуда он берёт вдохновение при написании песен: от различных ситуаций жизненных и людей как таковых.

Oops, sorry about twisting the name. Demons and wizards.
I must still be high

[@vtaro5354]

Don't feel so bad. Roger Dean, who designed the cover art for Heep's iconic album, did the same thing in the Hensley Years documentary.

[@undergroundnewsreboot1580]

@@vtaro5354 thanks for that

[@fus149hammer5]

This one goes up to eleven.......

[@disklamer]

Fair to say, in all likelyhood.

[@budgiemcleod4443]
