Two years ago I got to shake Trevor's hand. I told him that Bowie was lucky to have have played with him. He smiled and positively beamed. I could tell he was a modest guy by nature.. If I had waited to approach him I may never have gotten the chance to cross "Shake hands with a spider from Mars " off my bucket list. Tonight I put Ziggy Stardust, one of the most beautiful recordings ever made, on my stereo and salute an epic talent.
Oh man, I had to check wiki, you were right, he is by far the longest running Heep bassist, Thain and Wetton are better remembered by they were only like 2 or 3 year each
July Morning is the song. I got to meet Trevor outside the Apollo in Glasgow when Heep played with the amazing John Sloman on vocals. When Trevor did his bass solo he tripped backwards and didn't even lose a note. I was a fan before but that show just blew me away and he has been up there with the very best bassists ever since that day. He was using his Kramer DMZ 360 i think it was. Cracking bass tone on that tour. He manages to capture the essence of the late great Gary Thain from his live performances of the song altho Paul Newton did the original studio version. Jings Heep have had some incredible bass players over the years.
He's actually been with Heep since '77 (first appearance on 'Firefly' LP released that year - check it out.) This song is called "July Morning" and is one of their most classic & fan favorite songs.
Trevor is one of my influences on how i play bass... and i have now played for 30 years. A very modest man if you meet him. Trevor has never really been recognised as one of the leading players who helped shape the sound of British rock.... Bowies music would have sounded completly different without Trevor on bass along with Mick Ronson and Woody Woodmansy. Ask him why he is still touring in his 60s..... coz he still likes to play.
TB.used to cut me hair at Brian Dixons in Anlaby Told me a few stories about Bowie as they started out .Top fella as i remember ,god that was yonks ago
He was a rare example of solo bass player. He could have competed with any solo guitarists. I wish he would have played on stage with Stevie Ray Vaughan - another great musician who colaborated with David Bowie. Sadly all of them are gone.
For the people who doesn't know, this song is called "July morning" .... one of my favourites from Uriah Heep. You should listen this song with ex-bassist, Gary Thain .......unfortunately, he's gone too .... R.I.P. Gary, Trevor...
I have been searching for his name for over 4 months now. I called home the “white tipped bass player” and I finally found him instead of Gail An Dorsey
Why do people say.. He was underrated.. He wasn't rated.. To be rated you have to be on some stupid list or something .. He was simply an Awesome Musician full stop..
"...and more recently touring with Uriah Heep" from 1976 to now is not so recent... anyway Trevor is the best and the most underrated bass rock player ever...He shine through every song he recorded, particulary in all those albums and songs he did live and in studio with Uriah Heep...
A little bit of respect, please! No, he's not just "OK", wrong words in this situation. He passed away and we all are very very sad. Gary Thain was a superb musician on so was Trevor Bolder.

One of the best and most underrated rock bass player that ever walked the earth...
DEFINITLY THE BEST COMMENT ABOUT HIM...HIM, ROGER GLOVER, JOHN PAUL JONES AND GEEZER BUTLER, TO NAME A FEW...
Trevor Bolder one of the best bass players ever.R.I.P.
One of the best bassist that ever walked this heart...R.I.P. incredible player, I will always be a fan of yours...
Thank you Trevor for be a brillant musician and put thats amazing performances. RIP master
Oh man, I had to check wiki, you were right, he is by far the longest running Heep bassist, Thain and Wetton are better remembered by they were only like 2 or 3 year each
Some extraordinarily gifted bass played can do some wild (and often complex shit) while never losing the groove.. That's why Trevor impresses me.
Trevor, rest in peace... you filled the place what Gary Thain left... both of you, great bassist....
Going back to this video over and over... One of the most impressing performances by Trevor. Unbelievable!
Was fortunate to have Trevor as a Neighbour and friend great guy and very very modest Rip Trev
"Best known as bassist of Bowie". He was a member of Heep for about 35 years, not a "touring member". RIP!
Oustanding bassplayer . R.I.P. Trevor
What a bass player Trevor Bolder was R.I.P
Trevor was unbelievable. Some of his bass lines are just incredible. Love or nothing has always stuck in my mind
Fantastic film of a truly missed legend and big part of our lives

Trevor Bolder - my favorite ever bassist.

Wunderbar!
Die hatte ich "früher" und noch heute gerne gehört.....und der "konnte" echt was...
R.I.P.
@Jeff Leon, the song is July Morning from the album Look at Yourself. It was Trevor's showcase live track. Many thanks for sharing. I miss him!
I'm guitarplayer myself, but at Heep Concerts I always stood in front of the bass amps, because I was the fascinated by Trevors playing.
Trevor Bolder, Gary Thain, John Wetton...UH it's all about that bass RIP Maestros all 🤘
THIS IS HOW " ROCK BASS " SHOULD BE PLAYED...ROCK SOLID, SO POWERFUL , EVERY SINGLE NOTE HITS YOU IN THE FACE...R I P TREVOR MY FRIEND....
you will be greatly missed man
RIP Trevor - he filled a big size shoes for Gary Thain ... another superb bass player ... now both are jamming up in the sky
He replaced John Wetton.
Trevor was such a great bass player, extremely underrated.
And that my friends, is Bass!
Many, many thanks for posting this amazing footage!!! :D I saw that tour from the front row and this brings back great memories. Donn
He was a genious of the bass!

THE GOD OF THE HARD ROCK BASS PLAYING...NONE FINER....
Amazing playing Trevor! Heaven's a more rockin' place with you there!
Trevor is one of my influences on how i play bass... and i have now played for 30 years.
A very modest man if you meet him.
Trevor has never really been recognised as one of the leading players who helped shape the sound of British rock.... Bowies music would have sounded completly different without Trevor on bass along with Mick Ronson and Woody Woodmansy.
Ask him why he is still touring in his 60s..... coz he still likes to play.
His bass work on the Man Who Sold The World album is outstanding
That was just awesome!
God Damn. He plays like he has the best name in rock and roll. RIP Sir.
TB.used to cut me hair at Brian Dixons in Anlaby Told me a few stories about Bowie as they started out .Top fella as i remember ,god that was yonks ago
R.I.P Trevor Bolder......
A Rock`n Roll legend has left us, but the memory remains......
R.I.P. The "." is not a spacer!
I've been told that my playing style is reminiscent of Trevor's. What an honor that is! I worked hard for it!
Yes I would definitely assume that was a strong compliment
Siempre seras uno de mis bajistas predilectos ! Descansa en paz.. Maestro !

THE GOD...
P.I.P Trevor! another taken too soon!!!
МОЙ ЛЮБИМЫЙ БАС ГИТАРИСТ. ВОЛШЕБНИК ЭТОГО ВОЛШЕБНОГО ИНСТРУМЕНТА. КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ СТАРАЮСЬ СЛУШАТЬ БАСОВЫЕ ПАРТИИ В ЕГО ИСПОЛНЕНИИ.
Я БЫЛ НА КОНЦЕРТЕ В МОСКВЕ В КОНЦЕ 80 ЫХ ГОДОВ. Я ЕГО ВИДЕЛ МОЛОДЫМ.МЕСТО БЫЛО В ПЕРВЫХ РЯ ДАХ. НО ВСЕ РАВНО ДАЛЕКОВАТО.
I have been searching for his name for over 4 months now. I called home the “white tipped bass player” and I finally found him instead of Gail An Dorsey
@jeffleoncomedy this was pretty much my view when i saw them last night in NYC! awesome bass player anx a really nice guy
Impressive!!!! Legend
Why do people say.. He was underrated.. He wasn't rated.. To be rated you have to be on some stupid list or something .. He was simply an Awesome Musician full stop..
The song is "July Morning"
Probably Trevor, along with Rick Grech of Family and Blind Faith are the two best bassists I have ever heard...like if you agree?
Thanx for the video! RIP

A little bit of respect, please! No, he's not just "OK", wrong words in this situation. He passed away and we all are very very sad. Gary Thain was a superb musician on so was Trevor Bolder.
Wonderful playing by Trevor. Next time, though turn your I-Phone 90 degrees either way to get a full-screen image.
What the name of this song anyone?
This guys my dads cousin
... so this great bassist, was your 2nd cousin...!
we probs know each other then!
The god of sideburns. If he shook your hand, you better hope he didn't squeeze.
All hail Trevor the sideburn god
July Morning
the song is july morning
very sad , he is a great influence for me
Hatalmas ! Nyugodj Békében Öreg Harcos !
Davey Rimmer, think what is the deepest meaning to play bass... take a look for this... great old wizard plays like fire on his ass...
he was my cousin
That was Kerslake drumming right?
William Whitman I’m pretty sure it was
Jeff Leon, the stand-up comedy man, very nice channel you have. I just enjoyed many laughs viewing your up loads.
William Whitman Many thanks! Of course where we stand up comedy be without virtuoso 70s rock?
And vice-versa, my friend.
Nope, it’s russel gilbrook
I liked Gary Thain a LOT better
отвратно поет чувак.
Bass players should groove not shred..
Some shred,but 90 Percent Groove/Pocket.
It's called lead bass .Not many out there RIP , Was lucky enough to shake his hand and talk ,take pictures 3 times . A WORLD CLASS BASS PLAYER !
onlyjoetee He's Trevor Bolder. He can do what he wants 👍
R.I.P
July Morning
