Wish I could go back to experience them again. My first favorite band at 20. Now at 70, they still give me chills. Will love their music till I close my eyes for good.
As a bass player of 50 years myself I have to say the live 73 album in my opinion contains the best live bass playing performance ever! The word genius is used too much but not in the case of Gary Thain RIP Gary
Brother you nailed it! Gary Thain was a player beyond description!! I got to see them live twice, the second time had John Wetton on bass and he was a disappointment for me.
@@theirishhammer9451 thank you friend! I have seen John Wetton a few times myself I think he was a great Bass player but perhaps his style wasn’t so suited to Heep. I think in the end Gary was irreplaceable
@@theirishhammer9451 yes the more contemporary music of Asia definitely suited his style better and of course it allowed him to use his singing talent more.
Gary Thain!!! What a bassist. Gary and Lee in the pocket driving the song and Gary jumps out of the pocket and flash bangs you with his unreal bass licks!!! Uriah Heep Forever 🔥🔥🔥
I agree with those who find this the absolute top of all Uriah Heeps songs! Everything is 100 % perfect AND live. Still gives me goose-bumps 48 years later :)
Bass master indeed. I love his work and that of his bandmates more and more as time goes by. I am so glad a girlfriend let me borrow her vinyl record of Demons and Wizards. I was hooked forever after the first listen!
Agree Lisa, the Greatest Band Ever! Had the great honour meeting Ken and corresponding with him for decades, also Mick, shared a few pints of Guinness and also many years (still) corresponding.
Everyone is commenting on the amazing vocals and instrumental perfection but let's not forget the absolutely unrivaled, magical poetry of Ken Hensley! " Sky full of eyes, mind full of lies, black from their cold hearts, down to their graves" wow!Let's not forget the profundity! "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow!" I actually did find another comment about Hensley's words though.
Without a doubt, the BEST Hard Rock Live album ever. I saw them many times in the 70's & they always had the best live shows not only in the music but Davids stage presence. Always made you feel like they were playing the show just for you. Long live the Mighty Heep.
Ken on the hammond on tracks like this, July morning and other heavy tracks like Shadows of grief, his organ playing as his slide guitar playing was flawless
I was in the 6th grade, 1973, listening to The Beatles, Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens. My Mom's friend gave me an album for my birthday that her son had picked out... the first Uriah Heep album. I remember listening on my headphones the first time, and taking them off my head after "Gypsy", looking at them like they were suddenly dangerous. And "Come Away Melinda" disturbed me! Been listening ever since.
Ah pure musical delight from the incomparible Uriah Heep! Still love this wonderful music that lives on untarneshed and unequaled by the sands of time. Every true rock music lover knows Heep`s music not only sounds as fresh and innovative now as it did when they first performed it but like fine wine tastes more savory to our musical taste buds as we rock on down the road!
I have been a front line rock vocalist in my 70’s and still to this day have not a bass player like Gary and there have been masters since then. Gary you were a grand master. Rip
And let`s not forget per the liner notes of the vinyl album that they recorded Magician`s Birthday within 11 months of recording Demons and Wizards while on tour! Phenominal acheivement.
URIAH HEEP Una de las mejores bandas de todos los tiempos,Gary Thain en mi opinion,esta entre los mejores bajistas del rock!!!!!!!!!! Somos HEEPSTERIA!!!!!!!!!!
This song is one of my all time favorites, and this live album is the best live album i ever heard....just perfect. I`m 70 years young and i listen to this since 50 years. I can`t`get enough os it
Heep were my first ever live concert, in 1972 or 73 at Guildford Civic Hall. Life was never quite the same after that. I had no idea music could be that loud or cigarettes could be so large & sweet smelling.
Agreed. Media mentions LPs like Kiss Alive or Frampton Comes Alive as great 70s live releases, and miss great ones like Uriah Heep Live 1973 or Scorpions Tokyo Tapes...
The Band is still magic. I sah their opening concert in Hamburg for the 50th annivesary Tour. Mike is still speedy playing his guitars on both, acoustic and electric guitars, phil Lanzon is a fantastic organ Player, Bernie Shaw has a strong and powerful Rock voice, Russel Gilbrook good drive on drums and davey Rimmer is a good Bass Player. Not as strong as the original Band, but it was a time journey with an rather impressive Performance
1973,i was 14 Years old. I find the Musik from Uriah Heep, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. And today 48 Years later? I hear the Music from this Bands ever and ever. And I'm lucky.
Great Band, Great Musicians, wrote Music History, and some of them are still here. Whish they could all be here, but they have gone , but will never be forgotten. Love them since i was 7...🔥♥️👌
In 1972 Keep came to the Jacksonville, Fla coliseum three times that year. I saw them all but in July, after waiting six hours at the doors to be the first to run to the "wall", the four foot high barrier closest to the stage.... during the crescendo of this song, nearing the last 60 seconds, the music was so powerful, and seeing David and Mick head banding their way toward each other, both a fixed to one position... I couldn't take it any longer and leapt over the wall, past security, grabbed the lower leg of Byron and joined the final minute of perfection. I was 17. and now 68, but when listening to this recording... seems like yesterday.
What a great band, COH one of my fav UH songs, Gary Thain’s thundering bass guitar is immense on this and really underpins this track, brings back so many memories, RIP all but Mick.
URIAH HEEP IS THE SYNERGY OF THOSE FANTASTIC MUSICIANS WHO PRODUCE THAT SORT OF MUSIC and must us listen to them across the world. My favorite song Weep in silence😀😀👍😀😀
Uriah Heep was the first band I truly loved - over Led Zep .... over Deep Purple ... I just gravitated to Hensley's flaming Hammond, Byron's voice and Thain's melodic bass .... That combination kept my attention until Return To Fantasy ... then I drifted away .... but the magic 5 albums are still in my collection .... and when I enjoy them, so do my neighbors! :)
@@jorgeosunaaguilar7408 Man, they sure did ... Gary had that ability to fit that "melodic bass" anywhere, and Lee had no problem keeping up with him! :)
This band were fantastic, wonderful and fine style typical of hard rock in the early 70s, and is not in the Fame Salon of rock and roll|!!!....is a big injustice!!....URIAH HEEP FOREVER!!!. AVE!!! Ken Hesnley and the others gays of the band (the originals...)
Best Band,Love Growing Up With This Music
Mick Box. Last man standing, RIP the rest
well said
Yes, Uriaa Heep for EVER.
Wish I could go back to experience them again. My first favorite band at 20. Now at 70, they still give me chills. Will love their music till I close my eyes for good.
It's shocking how fresh this music sounds after over half a century. And Ken's final solo was played simply with divine inspiration!!!!!
Sad news indeed! Ken Hensley passed away on November 4th, 2020. R.I.P Ken. You'll be sadly missed. We'll never forget you.
As a bass player of 50 years myself I have to say the live 73 album in my opinion contains the best live bass playing performance ever! The word genius is used too much but not in the case of Gary Thain RIP Gary

Thain all the way
@@chrissutton927 yes Sir John Wetton was a good bass player and singer! With Asia he was irreplaceable!
@@theirishhammer9451 yes the more contemporary music of Asia definitely suited his style better and of course it allowed him to use his singing talent more.
" ... and today is only yesterday's tomorrow"
Today it's only yesterday's tomorow!!!!
RIP Ken
RIP Lee
RIP Garry
RIP David
GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Gary Thain was a GREAT bass player !!! I love the way he was playing !!! RIP !!!
They were the first concert I've ever seen, My girl friend's mother made us twin outfits.
Only Mick Box remains from that quintessential Heep lineup.
Mick Box is the last of the classic Uriah Heep. ❤️. Live long and Prosper Mick! 🖖🏻 ✌🏻👽❤️🍻
bring tears to my eyes my bro loved this song and he passed away last year at age 61.God bless his soul.
Gary Thain!!! What a bassist. Gary and Lee in the pocket driving the song and Gary jumps out of the pocket and flash bangs you with his unreal bass licks!!!
Uriah Heep Forever 🔥🔥🔥
The bass player`s bass player.

Drugs took his life much too early! 😪
@@waltercole5024 You are so right.
Awesome song from the Heep ,one of my favorite ✌️👍
I agree with those who find this the absolute top of all Uriah Heeps songs! Everything is 100 % perfect AND live. Still gives me goose-bumps 48 years later :)
And "July morning" too- they are similar songs, both genius and powerfull!
magician birthday- gypsy- July morning-traveller in time...
Oh boy yes.
July Morning & Rain are just as awesome as this song, but yes great song 🎵 👍
Lives on forever man.
R.I.P. Gary Thain, born on this day. The bass master.
Bass master indeed. I love his work and that of his bandmates more and more as time goes by. I am so glad a girlfriend let me borrow her vinyl record of Demons and Wizards. I was hooked forever after the first listen!
Uriah Heep forever and ever
Criminally underrated. Maybe the very best band of the 1970s. Epic shit.
SORRY, WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT FROM ?! Maybe you don't know more about them.
Totally agree with that statement!
@@gelubatir9794 shut up
Yes. Underestimated band ((.
Stoopid comment. No-one EVER underrated Heep.
I was lucky to see this line up in October 1973, still one of my very favorite concerts ever! and I have seen hundreds of concerts!
Amazing BASS ❤️❤️❤️Gary
My favorite band ever to this day, but it has to be this line up. I love David Byron so much, and we just recently lost ken. Rip rock wizards ❣️
Agree Lisa, the Greatest Band Ever! Had the great honour meeting Ken and corresponding with him for decades, also Mick, shared a few pints of Guinness and also many years (still) corresponding.
Well said sister Lisa. You are a true rocker that knows 70`s music keeps us young at heart!
Yes I agree best line up for the heep. Denied air play in states..could have been with yes and purple if they got there due.still sounds great
The only tline up! When Ken took his song writing away, Uriah Heep ended...
@@UriahHeep100 Wow! That`s awesome. I`m glad for you and it`s nice to know that Mick is still corresponding.

" Sky full of eyes, mind full of lies, black from their cold hearts, down to their graves" wow!Let's not forget the profundity! "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow!"
I actually did find another comment about Hensley's words though.
They were all musical geniuses.
On the first day of the new year, I always tweet "today is only yesterday's tomorrow".
You're absolutely right and his music is genius too.
RIP great Ken.
@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 SS ser feliz
Ken Hensley wrote most of his lyrics based on his relationship and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Uriah heep...the best band
Very Underrated , and he was one of the best Singers in his generations.
RIP, KEN!!!!
Great singer with superb musicians that was what Uriah Heep were.
Best original British group of the 70's by far in my opinion.
Byron’s voice up there with Paul Rogers imho 🎤
Hensley made the band magical
@@mikem.7921 So did Mick, Byron, Gary, and Jim just to name a few
@@mrduffin1663 who s Paul whats his name?
@@christo6765 Paul Rogers The Band Free
David Byron's wonderful voice, Lee Kerslake's drumming, Mick Box's riffs, Ken Hensley's great keyboards and Gary Tain's bass
A timeless blend of genius never to be equalled again. I truly believe it will still be awesome in another 50 years.
@@kimblecarter1096 FOR SURE
Best line up for sure
And words & music!!!
Purple got more radio play but heep songs were better written ,better vocals and less repetitions .way better stage presents
Without a doubt, the BEST Hard Rock Live album ever. I saw them many times in the 70's & they always had the best live shows not only in the music but Davids stage presence. Always made you feel like they were playing the show just for you. Long live the Mighty Heep.
Amen to that ✌️😎✌️
I still love them and always will. This album is one of the iconic definitions of the best 70`s rock music.
Deep Purple Made in Japan
One of my favorites.....God bless Ken Hensley
Me too.
So poetical and philosophical, what a great person.
RIP. KEN HENSLEY.
Ken on the hammond on tracks like this, July morning and other heavy tracks like Shadows of grief, his organ playing as his slide guitar playing was flawless
Indeed. He was one of the most talented singer, song writer and players in music history.
I was 13 yrs old listening to this stuff. Huge Heep fan!
I was in the 6th grade, 1973, listening to The Beatles, Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens. My Mom's friend gave me an album for my birthday that her son had picked out... the first Uriah Heep album. I remember listening on my headphones the first time, and taking them off my head after "Gypsy", looking at them like they were suddenly dangerous. And "Come Away Melinda" disturbed me!

My Dreams will come true the next October, Uriah Heep in Barcelona! I missed in Manchester, Uk many years ago...but not this time! 🤟🤟🤟
God bless you all your music was amazing
Ah pure musical delight from the incomparible Uriah Heep! Still love this wonderful music that lives on untarneshed and unequaled by the sands of time.

such an incredible balsam in these weird days :-(

Saw these guys back in 73. Gonna see them again in about a month. Can't wait!!
I m a true metaller and i love so much this band! Great singer David Byron!

Best group evee
This song is one of my all time favorites, and this live album is the best live album i ever heard....just perfect. I`m 70 years young and i listen to this since 50 years. I can`t`get enough os it

😅😂🤣 you are adorable😂🤣😅that cracked me UP!👍😉😎
Uriah Heep Live and Deep Purple Made in Japan had to be the 2 best Live Albums of the 70's. Apples and Oranges but both still respected today.
Agreed. Media mentions LPs like Kiss Alive or Frampton Comes Alive as great 70s live releases, and miss great ones like Uriah Heep Live 1973 or Scorpions Tokyo Tapes...
My favorite band ever
My fav version of my fav song...ever...RIP to our fallen Heepsters....they were and are the soundtrack to my life
Аналогично!!!
Best song ever! Best group ever!
Just got my license in '73, riding around in our 62 Impala with the 8 track playing Heep.
super cool
The band was magical. One of the best progressive rock bands out of the 70's.
They were a combination of rock, hard rock,progressive +metal. In the 60's and 70's the 3 heaviest bands were, Sabbath, Heep, and Deep purple.
I so agree with you! Wonderful music. I was hooked for life the moment my girl friend played her Demons and Wizards album for me.
The Band is still magic. I sah their opening concert in Hamburg for the 50th annivesary Tour. Mike is still speedy playing his guitars on both, acoustic and electric guitars, phil Lanzon is a fantastic organ Player, Bernie Shaw has a strong and powerful Rock voice, Russel Gilbrook good drive on drums and davey Rimmer is a good Bass Player. Not as strong as the original Band, but it was a time journey with an rather impressive Performance
Probably throw Emerson Lake and Palmer in there! 🤙
Incompairable!
Please, please teleport me back to this Concert...
Best I ever heard!!!
This song and the paradise / the spell song was mind blowing songs from this album
Paradise/ The Spell what a beautiful song kinda lost as the last track on Demons & Wizards 🧙♀️

Ken & Gary - they are fantastic
Cursing the Son, of which love was born. Magnanimous line.
un groupe inoubliable quand on les a cotoyé en concert !
Ano 2022 , fisurada nessa banda incrivel.
Ouvi mto nos anos 80 mas confesso q hoje admiro mais ainda.
David Byron, grande vocalista.
É porque gente como nós que nunca iremos esquecer estes grupos, fantásticos 🇵🇹👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The best live rock album ever!
No other album has the emotion or the talent like this one had
A band totally ahead of its time!
I'm sure every generation says our music is the best and that's because it is
The "screams" Byron belts out at the crescendo of the ending...unsurpassed.👊👊👊🤘
When I want to do a vocal exercise I do Byron's scream at the end of tears in my eyes
