I saw them in Nashville 10 days before this performance was recorded. I met them after the show and a couple of us had a drink with front man David Byron at the hotel where they were staying and talked music for a few minutes. Nice guy. It's so sad all of them are gone except guitarist Mick Box. This version of the band should be in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame.
EXACTLY !
No - those idiots are too busy putting in total shit bands. Now they’re putting in rappers! How pathetic.
Yep❤ them lyrics! Good stuff ✌️👍
Saw byron open up 4 bryan ferry
@stlrockn you got that right. 👌🏻👍🏻🫵🏻
weren't we lucky to have grown up with bands like Uriah Heep. Even kids today listen to this music because the music today sucks big time. Keep rockin'
The line about “doing the ranchers daughter” wasn’t expected back then.
In was...
точно!
Yes we do :) Gen Z here
@@Gondalicathank god and enjoy and rock on man. Gen-X
Thank God I was a teenager during the 70's.
I agree. The music was better with more difference between the bands.
yup but its just a shame to be 60 now 🤔
Me too
But it's a blessing to be 60.... you're alive and kicking!! ROCK ON till the cows come home
@@frankzafarana8157 well i did rock it harder and with more style than most for about as long as i could beleieve me but for the past 3 years ive been in the hospital, cuzza my MS catching up to me, trying to learn how to walk again lol...tis a long road with many potholes but, as always, ill travel it to the end 🤔
No auto tune back then. All God-given talent. Repeating another comment, I'm glad I grew up in the seventies.
music great, jobs sucked...
All God-given talent is a brilliant way to describe Pure Talent. No auto tune, as you rightly say. Pure Gold. I wish I could have seen them live but I was at a seminar I couldn't sneak out of! That's life.
Late 60s early 70s. The best of times
@@michaelwood875 Jobs sucked indeed. This is why music is so important. A way to disconnect from the harsh realities of life. Music serves as "mile markers" on the journey life takes you. I thrived on this fact.
As a young teenager, when this came out, enjoyed the hell out of this number!! STILL DO!!
I am grateful to have seen Uriah Heep in concert.
No backing tracks,no auto-tune, just pure talent.
Blame that on Def Leppard Hysteria, Whitesnake 87 and the oh so perfect onslaught of hair metal and early urban music. This performance is out of tune pitchy vocals with cracking voices, and that raw honesty that drew us to it. There's still good music, but the industry kills it
I saw them during the World Series of Rock at Cleveland Municipal Stadium in August 1975. On the bill was Rod Stewart and Faces, Uriah Heep, Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult and Mahogany Rush. It poured down rain at one point and we got soaked sitting in the infield about 40 foot from the stage. They even turned on the stadium lights to try to dry it out a bit. Great show!
@@neilyoungfanMahogany Rush opened for Aerosmith, Greensboro Coliseum in ‘78 and rocked.
saw them as part of a festival while in the Army at Germany in 77
@@ledagain6722 Completely agree. The vocals were sooo out of tune and I don't care. Raw energy is exactly right.
Let this sink in...50 years ago, half a century. Still sounds awesome!!
Yes indeed!
My first concert, 1973 Detroit Cobo Hall Humble Pie with Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton and Uriah Heep. Can’t remember who opened but remember tickets were $3.50
@@ree3. Cobo had great acoustics, then came the Joe...
From u.k.
Ya got that spot on pal!
Saw them small club in Chester u.k.
Early 70s, one of my first gigs!
@@madcyril4135 now that's badass to have done that
Been a Uriah Heep fan since High School in the mid 70's. This band was seriously underrated.
Have all their stuff since high school ,way back when.
From north wales I’m 66 now, and saw Heep
In a small venue in Chester early 70s called
Quantways one of my first gigs even then I new
there was something special about them.
Venue small like someone’s living room!
No stage just played in the corner!
a few feet away!
Seen em all not living far from LIverpool
But Heep were one of my favourites
vastly underrated!
There's a special place for people who post "underrated" comments on youtube.
@@rocknewtonfilsterwilly7364I seriously wish YT would block the “overused” term…haha
@@KittyGrizGriz Every f'n music vid has some lamer posting it.
At least we still got Mick Box 🙏🏼
May he keep the Heep Flame burning.
David was one Hell of a vocalist and frontman. R.I.P. 👍🤘
Well said !
You are so right to bad alcohol had to shorten his contributions to the rock music scene 😢
@@anthonymorton4050 Yea sad on sad !
Don't forget Gary on bass!!!
@@harleyrider76 Totally, they were all great talents!
RIP David, Gary, Lee and Ken. You ARE missed by us many fans. ❤
Yes Saw this line up Sydney 75. Great band
Not this exact line-up in 1975. Gary Thain had been fired and passed in December, 1975.

Turn back the.clock...please....
The greatest bass player in history ..the great Gary Thain
Amen
Right On Brother
The classic and ultimate lineup of 70’s Uriah Heep ! 🤩🤘🏼🎸✨☝️🙏😊
The lineup with Wetton was great too, imo.
@@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony Return to Fantasy was John’s first with them and he stepped right up and did a fine job
amazing ! 🎤🎧🎶🎸🥁🔥💯 🤘
When the live is better than the studio I thinks we’re on to something!
Back in the 70s live versions were mostly better than the studio versions. Look at all the great live albums: Frampton Comes Alive, Foghat Live, Grand Funk Railroad Live, Robin Trower Live...
@@mikeramsay5964 Nothing's changed today, live is always best - what is different is the level of talent lacking in the crap of today. Great live albums came from great bands - it's just that simple. It's unfortunate we didn't have today's recording technology back in the 50's 60's & 70's into the 80's.
STUDIO IS BETTER
@@vernprater970 Trolling is best.
норм
David Byron had some kind of voice - perfectly suited for rock, yet operatic. What a talent! This entire band was incredibly talented. Thank you, boys. You are not forgotten.
Those were the days! Man do I miss the 70s, in the 80s too but the 70s were absolutely killer
amen!
Started in the 60’s, then 🚀!!! 🎶♥️💃
I agree!
Sooooo glad I grew up in the 70's. Being the youngest of 6 I had alot of influence to listen to great music. When music took you to another place in your mind.......
@Bill89p3 yup, still does to this day!!!
I still play my vinyl albums..pure talent. The 70's were a great decade of music.
Byron was one of rocks best vocalist ever, and also one of the most messed up. is it irony or inevitable?
I saw Uriah Heep in 1976 at the ZZ Top World Wide Texas Tour in Memphis!
They were my heroes then and now!!!
I love this song! One of the best prog-rock songs of all time!!
Prog rock?
Uriah Heep had some prog material but Stealin isn’t one of them. This is pure rock and roll boogie. That said, it’s probably my favorite Heep hit song.
Это умный хард рок, до прог (арт) рока здесь далеко...
This isn't a prog rock song at all...
Let alone the best one ever
@@SteveSteeleSoundSymphonyMine too! 😉
URIAH HEEP! At their best!
Hardly, vocals sound pretty off key on this one.
@@stevemccooleq..yeah , David looks like he just got out of the he boozer .
WOW!! i think that's the only clip i have ever seen of Uriah Heep live. one of my favorite bands back in the day.(i am 68 yrs old) their music still rocks!!!
I'm 69 and I agree fully!
Jesteśmy rówieśnikami i naprawdę to były lata gdzie na świecie,na estradzie było ogrom utalentowanych muzyków ,tworzyli piękną muzykę która przetrwała do dziś i będzie trwać jeszcze długo . To były prawdziwe talenty ,długo można byłoby wymieniać te nazwiska ,zespoły.Dzisiaj tylko nieliczne im dorównują ,niektórych to nie da się nawet słuchać .Lata 70 to były piękne czasy , jest co wspominać , Z tego okresu prawie wszystkie istniejące zespoły zapisały się w historii muzyki zostawiły po sobie ogrom dobrej i pięknej muzyki.Wielki szacun.
One of my favorite bands in the 70’s - often underrated and overlooked. This lineup was amazing!
So glad this was performed live and no lip-syncing!! Loved this band. Still do.
Uriah Heep was bad ass, I miss those days
You couldn't beat this classic line-up from 1972thru1975 live!
Agreed!!
jeeeezz.......67...still playin this stuff...my youth.........
Thank god I’m a teen of the 70s! Heep was amazing. All talented. Loved Thain and especially Hensley
Byron had a heck of a voice, strong and flexible, hit the low to high notes with seemingly no effort.
A band that deserved more recognition! Excellence!
David Byron is a legend ❤
demons and wizards their finest album, but this song is a rock classic, one of the greatest rock anthems of all time.
"fightin, killin, wine and women, gonna put me to my grave." rip lee kerslake, gary thain, and david byron. what a great band.
David Byron was my hero in the 70's. What an incredible voice!!
The best Uriah Heep lineup when they made the very best music !!!!!
I wanna thank my parents coz I don't think I would ever hear of uriah heep without them
They passed on their great taste in music. Great stuff
There are times that I really miss the 70's, this being one of them
I was 15 when this was released 😢
Sublime... my favourite line-up of the band as well.
First concert was Uriah Heep in November 1973 at Glasgow Apollo, Scotland. The following year, they opened with STEALIN' and the stage was in total darkness with just a couple of small guide lights to get the band on stage. A waterfall of dry ice was pouring across it and right over the front, with Dave Byron sitting cross legged on a monitor at the edge with a single spotlight now on him. First verse was riveting, then came the explosion of sound as the whole band came in and full colour lighting drenched the stage which looked even more amazing.
Managed to see this line-up five times, and one more with John Wetton on bass for Return To Fantasy, so this band is held in the highest regard by me forever.
I also had the privilege of speaking to Ken Hensley about running with an idea for a film with Uriah Heep songs from the 1972-75 era as the soundtrack, but it never expanded to the point where we felt it could be done properly without a big budget. Ah well... just need to listen to all the records again and imagine the film which is locked safely in my head... lol
I was THERE!
Heep- Fan since 1977. Greetings from GDR/ Norway.
Whoa ! Damn son ! .. at the time , 'Heep had the loudest recorded decibels of any concert ever .
Love this song, these guys were so high but sounded amazing!
Smashed!! A true rock star living the life!!!
Uriah Heep at their prime. Delivering great show made of brilliant songs
Super Band!!!Gary,Mick ,Ken ,David & Lee!!!Gold time! FOREVER Uriah HEEP!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Iconic.
Greetings from Germany, KREUZZER!
What a lovely reminder of how great this band was! I saw them two nights later in Des Moines...A group called Earth, Wind & Fire, second on the bill performed right before Heep...David Byron is underrated...In fact he's not even rated...Byron was Hall of Fame level...This version of the band is Hall of Fame worthy...
Wow. His voice is as good on vinyl as it is live
Yup glad as hell I grew up with this..
Damn bad ass after all these years! The Heep could bring it!
saw them live 3 different times...glorious days in the 70s.
Big big fan of Uriah Heep...i play that album over and over..Every song was great
Saw them with Deep Purple at Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, MO - Jan 24, 1972...may have been the best concert I was ever at...sat front row center with my feet proped up on the stage.
how could you prop your feet on stage ? We were standing in front row by 1975 and everyone rock n rollin. But by 75, 3 yrs later things were wilder.
We got a three chair set from the side of the stage, carried them to the center, and when the concert started we opened them up and sat down...TRUTH!!!@@Ainfogatherer
@@bugmandu1 LOL good for you, a time to remember as evident. The stages at the concert halls I attended made that impossible. One would of had a sore neck by the end of the show. Stages where high. Chairs where set many feet back leaving a gap between the chairs & the stage which filled in quickly by the standing, causing all to have to stand in order to see. Soon chairs on the floor just disappeared, they no longer bothered setting them up.
I know it was a once in a life time deal.@@AinfogathererI told my two buddies...lets go over there, take the seats and take them center stage...
@@bugmandu1 glory days! It was the "Look At Yourself" tour with Mark Clarke on bass. A long shot but do you know if photos or an audio recording from that Uriah Heep concert exists? (regardless of quality)
Oh thank you Guys for sharing this Diamond. Have'nt seen/heard this Video before. ❤
My father loves Uriah Heep so I grew up with their music and all the greats. He said they were one of the best live bands he’s ever seen in his life. Wish I could have!!
Бальзам на душу, золотой состав Хипов, качество видео бесподобное, автору огромная благодарность!!! 👍 👍 👍
Байрон пьяный, что ли? Ведёт себя странно и поёт здесь не очень.
@@С.Ш-г8р так Мик Бокс говорил, что Дэвид постоянно либо бухой, либо с бодуна был, достал уже всех, но всё равно, великий был вокалист.
@@АндрейЕкселев Он был великий, пока не начал спиваться. И без Байрона было у них, кому петь. Конкретно в этом видео лучше бы без него выступали.
@@С.Ш-г8р согласен, мне лично намного больше Лоутон нравился, земля ему пухом, вот где действительно божественный вокал.
@@С.Ш-г8рвидно, что на ногах еле держится. Но голос всё равно божественный.
Footage of these guys is sooo rare with quality..great job !!!
He took it from the Midnight Special TH-cam channel.
@@shyman99 Yeah watched the entire episode later, glad they left Sweet Freedom in there despite the tape damage.
Septiembre 2024. La voz de David Byron en riguroso directo sin trucos ni añadidos. Sobresaliente. Esta fue la mejor formacion de los Heep y esta cancion inolvidable.
A great mixture of unique and talented individuals 👍
Been around the sun better than 66 times now grew up listening to these guys.
Люблю Хипов с 1974 года и посей день эту группу Обажаю., мне 61 год, всем Меломанам желаю здоровья счастья удачи успехов в любви мирного неба всей планете 💖
Io ne 60 di anni e sono con te,fratello. Ti auguro ogni bene e spero che il mondo rinsavisca
Ich bin 61 und bei dir. Viele Grüße von meiner russischen Frau und mir.😊
Я их люблю с 1971, мне 65.
Спасибо 👍😊
мы хоть захватили истинную музыку, а не речевки
Repeating another comment.. i am SOOOO GLAD that i grew up with 70's music.
This is just one piece of the puzzle that makes the 70s music, the best to grow up too and although the 60s was another great decade i gotta give to the 70s.
Great live band
WOW!! What a time for music!!!
Thanks to my rocking remarkable brother, I had such a great generation rockin' to all these music greats. Now this kind of rock and my brother lives on in my rock n roll heart and soul!
They were the warm-up band for my first concert, 1977 Blue Oyster Cult and Uriah Heep. Fixed in my head forever…
URIAH HEEP The One & Only ...Thanks for this Gem
What a kick ass band. David Byron what a voice and frontman. I had a crush on Ken Hensley. I never got to see the Heep in concert at least i have U- tube. Thank you guys
I grew up in the sixties all the great bands are gone forever. Sad
first vinyl I bought 73 live. now have 4 of them
This was the True Lineup for Uriah Heep!😁😁🤘🤘👍👍🖖🖖🖐🖐😊😊
Badass song and group, always loved Mick Box's sound.
Stealin and Easy Livin are my two fav Heap songs ....Just FYI ...
Excellent ones but so many more....
!!!! Mr. Ken Hensley !!!!!!! saw this line up 1973 I´m so proud
Glory days! Do you remember the location for that Uriah Heep concert you saw in 1973? I might have material to send you (ticket stub, photos, poster etc).
I love this friggin song. Good ol fashion Rock n Roll.
Loved listening to their sound on long road trips...
The classic line up ..... I was fortunate to see Heep live a number of times in the 70’s. Always a real treat then.... and now... in my 60’s I still listen to them, albeit on Spotify. RIP guys and keep on playing.
Ahh, this performance, this lineup! Where did you find this gem (and in such good quality) Love this!
He took it from the Midnight Special TH-cam channel.
@@shyman99 Stealin’ 😂
@@KittyGrizGriz - Nice! 🤣
Bombed out of his mind but hey, that was the 70s. R.I.P.
Thank you , I Lived this during these years :] QC
This is the stuff I grew up with Nowadays I can't leave a rock station on the radio for more than a few minutes before I turn it off
You are so correct....the same 50 boring songs over and over.
Saw them in concert with Black Sabbath on a Halloween Night, at the Seattle Center Coliseum, fantastic concert, so epic. Most of the audience showed up in a costume, it was surreal.
Wow! What year?
So, Great! The 70’s were perfection. Proof positive right here.🔥
It was a good time to live!
Thank you kindly for Posting and sharing this Video 🎉 🇬🇧 😊
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR SHARING THIS!
URIAH HEEP legends.
All talented musicians.
With great vocals of David Byron
still listen to Uriah Heep.....great vocals and just good rock
Great bass player********
I remember stumbling in drunk and stoned one night, after work at the factory in Chicago, when I was 19, and turning on my little black & white tv and this came on . I turned it up . even on that little tv this blew me away, and I never forgot that . at 70 now, it's a fond memory.
Непревзойдённое исполнение лучшим составом Хипов!👍
Иных уж нет, а те далече ....😢
Столько не живут.

This song Rocks!!!
One of the best live albums ever released, & Gary Thain....OMG. One of the best pass players to ever come along. RIP.
Live is always better than studio, real musicians doing their craft, no cuts no redos. Fantastic. Thnk You
and no auto tune!
Loved that band, even though I wouldn't have known them without my older brothers.
Just masterful! Can't anything away from them, eh?
A big part of the soundtrack of my youth.
Хороший клип,😢 хороша 2:58 я группа, навека то, что эти ребята сделали в этом составе.
Wonderful 👍.
My very first concert 1973 Louisville Ky
I'm a huge Deep Purple fan, but I did see Uriah Heep twice back those days. They could rock pretty damn good. Enjoy.😁🍺👍
Loved Heep and wished I had seen Gillan with Deep Purple, but at least I managed the BURN concert with Coverdale and Hughes in 1974, and Ronnie James Dio supporting with his band ELF.... great days.
Can you imagine Blackmore and Box together riffin' off each other?!
I've been a UH fan since the first time I heard them. Awesome group and very underrated.
I am lucky man alive born in 1955, these were golden years for music. Nothing ever will come close.
