I saw Uriah Heep back in 1974 and again in 1975 when I was in the service in Germany. My hair still stands on end when I hear their music, so many good memories.
I've got to say Uriah Heep has been one of my favorite bands since the early 70's. From the original (famous lineup) Kerslake, Byron, Thane, Box, Hensley, to the new lineup, they have been true to their roots and other than a very few bands, have been performing for over 40 years. Truly amazing.
my first concert, in '75 was Manfred Mann, Lynyrd Skynrd and Uriah Heep headlining.. awesome show for 3.75 a ticket at the santa clara county fairgrounds!
I can proudly say I was there! What a beautiful night that was, well worth the trip all the way from Italy, where I live. I had my short moment of glory at 00:17 (I'm the one doing the "V" sign). Just a fraction of a second, but it's good to be on a Heep official video release! :D
Saw these guys in 2011 in Ridgefield, Ct. with my wifes' sister, cuz she's the only other Heep fan I know and she was on stage for Easy Livin'. They still got it!!! Fuckin' awesome show!!!!
Kerslake: most underrated rock drummer. Awesome drummer - and great singer too. Even here, his best is punishingly rhythmic yet musical (intricate/almost delicate) - where most "punishingly rhythmic" drummers have little musicality to their playing.
This is good, but check the post "Uriah Heep David Byron" with Byron doing the Stealin' vocals live from a 1974 concert in England. I saw Heep perform that same year in Florida, they opened with Stealin' and fog on the stage, it was great!
This song was always my favorite, and you're right, that's the lineup that absolutely kicked ass. Lee Kerslake just can't let go of Heep and tries to keep it alive no matter what. But the old Heep are gone, gone, gone.....
While he's not playing a B-3, the keyboard still sounds pretty close to that of a B-3. Must be through a Leslie - or a spectacularly good Leslie emulator.
Actually, Lee Kerslake wasn't on the very first Heep album, I don't think. He came on for Salsbury (2nd album) or "Look at yourself" which was the third. Mick Box (guitar) is the only original member left. I believe Lee had to retire due to health problems.
@Freyja1133 Bernie has hit numerous high notes during his time in the band. I saw them live in May and he hit some great ones. Not to mention, nailing all the harmonies. I do see where you're coming from, but I don't think high notes make the singer. Bernie sings with great tone and conviction and is versatile enough to fit many moods. As much as I loved Byron, I think Bernie would be my favourite Heep vocalist.
Lost interest in Uriah Heep after David Byron's departure...... for me they just weren't the same anymore.... that's not to say that other fans shouldn't like them without Byron though....
I have no problem with groups continuing on but geez man, don't be doing a David Byron song with a different singer. David Lee Roth never sings a Sammy Hagar song and vice versa. With no Ken Hensley and no David Byron, it AIN'T Uriah Heep.

One of the most gifted bands ever!Not enough recognition given to them!

So great to hear Uriah Heep in a central American archeological dig site! Thanks so much ~ ....

fantastic band, wow what great memories/thankx so much for posting UH ROCKS
Love this old song! ♥

Wore out several 8 tracks of this in the 70s. Loud, with the windows down.
Saw these guys in 2011 in Ridgefield, Ct. with my wifes' sister, cuz she's the only other Heep fan I know and she was on stage for Easy Livin'. They still got it!!! Fuckin' awesome show!!!!
I too did the Ranchers Daughter, stole his pride and loved every minute of it!
Roflmao!!!
Could nt hear bass guitar till i 49 years later!
The acoustics off the half restored temple walls are almost religiously awesome!
Great stuff, awesome
Absolutely, that's Lee Kerslake himself.

I done the ranchers daughter, sure did hurt his pride. HAA HAA! Classic line..
great group in the time
Superb!
great band
All you Heepsters out there...all i can say is "You Cant Keep A Good Band Down"
This is good, but check the post "Uriah Heep David Byron" with Byron doing the Stealin' vocals live from a 1974 concert in England.

Too cool!!!!!! and it was worth the extra exclamation points my friend
My theme song/motto from the early 70s.......or so I thought😮

URIAH HEEP FOREVER
@Starbreaker hes also incredibly nice (i met him and mick after a show, 2 of the nicest people i've ever met. at a concert anyway)
Uriah Heep must be inducted to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame..
It sure is. Fantastic.
einfach super
just saw these guys tonight in a little ass bar in the middle of nowhere illinois, it was damn near a religious experince
seen these dudes open for DEF LEPPARD on the Pyromania tour...should of been the other way around if ya ask me...KILLER SHOW!
this guy can sing !
Long Live Heep
Nothing quite like it anymore!
rock n roll at it`s finest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guitarist looks like pete Townsend here.
Great stuff.
I think this song kicks ASS no matter who does vocals!
grandi grandi grandi.......
deadnightwarrior...I see you!! :)

Never mind ... think I saw it directly behind the keyboard player.
Before the second hand smoke nazis took over there used to be flash pots at 1:59. It was good for some chills.
I couldn't say it better !! Bernie is Great !!!

Lee Kerslake is the name of the drummer.
I don't understand why didn't this band became famous?
classic...
I think Bernie is awesome
here's another band that got lost on all these pop crap...they should be on the hall of fame
PARTY

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Starbreaker well said.....I loved the original lineup but bernie kicks it as well
Fun band to see, but the studio version is always best, cant find it here? Salût !
Marc Sainte-Marie blow
Ахуэть!¡!
'Gypsy' was also great but 'stealing' was rougher and great played live! Stealing when I was should I've been buying!!! You must dare to sing this!!
Lost interest in Uriah Heep after David Byron's departure...... for me they just weren't the same anymore.... that's not to say that other fans shouldn't like them without Byron though....
Sounds like another adventure till from my own life i ponder if i wrote it?
to me it isn't the same without the original singer.its a whole new band and sound.
cool
Uriah Heep rocks! got to see them in Va in 2015. made my bucket list at 52 years old. Carolina rebellion is next. bwahahaha bwahahaha. look out.
Is it Lee on the drums?
Is Kerslake still alive?
@IndyCarFan68
Lee's health sucks and has quit the band.
jeez what happen to these dudes ..no fire in their heart.just redundent..............
Byron screwed around too much in concert. He could be damn annoying.
pathetic without byron, thain

live in srbija
that's not Uriah Heep. David Byron was and will always be the voice of Uriah Heep.
