Wow! This is great! I was there at Budokan! Uriah Heep (David Byron era) is my favorite hard rock band! The Japanese audience back in 1973 was so shy and reserved, and the security being pretty tight, that they sat down and listened to the show throughout the main set. So towards the end of the set, David Byron encouraged people to stand up and enjoy the show. And finally we all stood up, and the real party began.
Security is tight, understatement, saw Kiss in 77,78 at the Budokan, no standing, no lighters, no crazyness, man it was the place to see a concert, Cheap Trick, ELO, Fleetwood Mack, Japanese audience are the best. Byron looks out of it here, he is great when he is on, this was disappointing.
Great example of how great 70s shows were. Sweaty venues, loud sound, drunk band members. Saw them twice in Newcastle in the 70s, both fantastic nights. Uk press hated them but they were great.
My Dad used to listen to them...he had several LPs from lots of famous Bands from the 70's... I do some Crate Diggin in the Footage of my Memories of what LPs my Dad used to have. Hes dead for 5yrs since yesterday. To Circumstances, the LPs got all lost . Thank God that nowadays i can see what he experienced maybe at the Age of 25, and what made the time back then awesome.

David Byron is in the top four rock singers of all time. Mercury, Gillian, Dio and Byron. So said the man drunk his self to death and died in his mid thirties. They had to kick him out of the band and they have never been the same. His replacement is as close as you can get I guess but he doesn't sing it naturally because if your going to replace David the songs just have to sound like David singing. I loved this Album when I was 11 years old I spent all my Newspaper money on album's and my sister took me to my first concert at 11. She was 5 years older than me. It was Johnny Winter and Bob Seagar was the first band and Wet Willie the second. I saw Seager twice before he really made it and he was ok but REO blew him off the stage. That was when REO still was a rock band not a Barry Manilow sounding garbage High Infidelity.
Kurt Sherrick-I remember that the Rock music magazines said, at the time, that Ken Hensley gave the other band members the choice of firing David Byron or that HE was leaving. He said that he couldn't deal with Byron's drunken, inconsistent behavior any longer. So they fired David. You are right about Uriah Heep, they were never the band that they had been. Gary Thain's departure and death had been rough, but without the signature voice, they sounded like something besides Uriah Heep.The lineup of Byron, Box, Thain, Kerslake and Hensley, with Byron's one of a kind voice, Box's unique guitar sound and Thain's bass work, created a group that more than held it's own with great groups like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and others popular at the time.
@@lawrencearansaspasstx4374 You mentioned my four favorite bands. I was captivated by Deep Purple and In Rock first. They will always be my number one. Uriaheep with Byron were Poets. Their Lyrics and backing vocal parts were unique and went with the Purple idea of Classical music incorporated. Hensley said his influence was Jon Lord in creating Salisbury a wonderful Concept Album. Musically probably the only Band per Instrument and vocals that were maybe Deep Purples equal. So much talent in those two bands in the early seventies. I wore those albums out on my GE Wildcat Stereo with my headphones on. I was hooked at 9 years old. Our of those four Zeppelin is my least favourite but number 4 is good in my mind. They were the Masters of Hard Rock. Heep were the best lyricist out of those four.
В то время они старались показать свой талант , стремились показать на что они способны . Нынешняя же ,, пупсятина ,, из трёх слов хотят ...,да не понятно вообще чего хотят , кроме бабла .
Amazing.. The Japanese audiences are very appreciative of the bands that play.. And usually more reserved in their concerts.. But to See them throughout this whole arena.. Dancing, and rocking out like this is very cool to see.. And quite a tribute to Uriah Heep being able to have this euphoric affect on this crowd.
It's a 1973 made-for-TV video in pegged-out mono! And it's Budokan. It's built for sports and has horrible acoustics. Sound really bounces around in there!
These guys were an important part of my musical upbringing alongside Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Humble Pie, early life in the 70's grew up at a really great time for music!
David Byron had one of the most distinctive voices in Rock. Mick Box's guitar had a one of a kind sound. Uriah Heep, at this point in time, had the best line-up of its history. Gary Thain was one of the best bass players ever. John Wetton never really looked too comfortable trying to fill his shoes. A great Rock band!
Ранее я не видел этого выступления, но здесь явно видно, что они стали популярны, и к исполнению уже относятся спустя рукава, как у нас говорят. Студийный льбом, конечно, слушать приятнее.
@@99hotairbaloons I disagree. I once was front row for CSN in 2010. Someone was badly off-key much of the show. I'm one of those who darts across the venue to leap onto oncoming feedback before the board even registers it. But it didn't bother me. YES, it would've been better if they were in key. But they had the best sound I've ever heard. Louisville, KY. They were also very good showmen, considering they don't leap around all over the place. Drive out 6 hours to see a band in off-beat places for cheap, my advice. And you get better seats, too. Not easy to get that good of sound that close, either.
Uriah Heep were a very English hard rock band that weren't heavy metal but often sounded similar to Deep Purple and were lumped in with the pre-metal prog scene. They rocked hard with more than a few great songs and a huge following but little chart success. (Same can be said for Led Zep and King Crimson, so no shame there!!) Listen to The Park off Salisbury.
Ironic, as this was an AWFUL performance by Byron. Couldn't get within a stone's throw of the right pitch, despite Kerslake and Hensley's on-pitch backing vocals.
Sadly keyboard based hard rock bands faded out by the late 70s. For this reason sabbath and zeppelin remain more popular than the heeps and purple bands.
I love the bands & Singer/Songwriters from the - 60-70- Alice C - Deep purple - David Bowie - Led zeppelin Queen & of course The Beatles - and I could go on !!! I love others remember those early years
A British teen ager named Steve after he saw heep UFO and bowie went and formed a group with his friends called gypsy s kiss now they are world famous !!! Any requests how bout flight of icarus .or where Eagles dare.
当時ボクは中学二年生の時に人生初めて行ったロックコンサートだった。2階席の後ろでしっかりと見ていた。
ロック好きの友人となにもわからず武道館のユーライアヒープを目の当たりにしてぶっ飛んだ時の映像が残っているとは、そしてそれを50年ぷりに見られるとは思いもよらなかった。
今となっては歴史に残る最高のコンサートだった。
ken rest in peace i hope you are playing the organ on a cloud in rock heaven.from shaz in the uk.
Fantastic !! I was 15 when I bought this album !
So was I
Same here. 17 when I saw them.
I was 13...
I was 15
Если бы сейчас слушали Хипов -люди были бы добрее.
Formação Clássica simplesmente maravilhosa!!!!!!!
URIAH HEEP ! Enough said !!
SPECTACULAR ✓.
We miss you David!!!
awesome!!!
VERY UNDERATED BAND, THY SHOOK BUDOKHAN
I had a friend walked in to my house with the mirror look at yourself by Uriah Heep and said how rude. that was Frank Shoffner
pure greatness- long live the Heep
UNREAL
Yeah 👍👍👍
ЭТО БУДЕТ ЖИТЬ ВЕЧНО
Still remember the record photo was a mirror
Рок навсегда!
Ken Hensley 🍀❤️💕🙋♀️
The Album cover was a Mirror so you could Look At Yourself!
My 'Thumbs Up' made it 700 !!!
А после таких сейчас одно мыло супер уходит
R.I.P. Mr. Byron
o melhor do mundo
“ David Byron on the vocal. “. Did you get that 🤗
Sometimes Byron's eyes are so mad...
David Byron acts/sounds drunk here. Hensley sang it on the record-should have sang it this night. Byron lived to only 38 !!!###
shame about the poor lead vocals.So good on record.
...Mick Box the only survivor...
I SWEAR it looks like Byron's on ACID.
I may be wrong.
Illan biisi
This is the Real Uriah Heep rock band. The best line up Ever!!!
Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, The Sweet,Slade,The Who ,etc ...
Thank God for the 60's and the 70's.🙏 🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶☮️☮️☮️
ALL also my favorit bands - especially Deep Purple, Heep, Sweet and Rainbow...gorgeous times

Were you there when Byron collapsed on stage Newcastle City Hall?
Буду краток. Сначала Хипы🤘🤘🤘! А уже потом все😒 остальные👆
I am 14, and I say this is a truely amazing and original band! Sadly not many people from my generation even know Uriah Heep. What a shame :\
Grumpy_Palpatine
Forget what your age is and what the peoplenaround like or not like. Music is an individual expression.
The seventies best music
Good man I first heard them in 7th or 8 grade ,great band
My older brother gave me his 8-track of Demons & Wizards.
He never got it back
Mr. Box, thank you for everything you have done to keep the band together! We met a few years ago.
観に行きましたよ！かっこよかった！
Byron drunk as usual ...but what a talent !! ...i also liked lawton too !
Uriah heap Always in the heart of all brazilians. We love rock, mainly this band. And it's difficult to choose one. Long live rock.
Rip gary thain, David Byron and Lee kerlake.. one of the most importants and best bands in the rock and roll history !!
Это так!!!✌️✌️✌️🖐️
Very underrated band
Kerslake although terminally ill is still alive, so don't bury him ahead of his time
Kerslake isn't dead
RIP Kerslake?? :)
Gary Thain is a beast on bass ..
I love the bass. Gary Thain and Terry "Geezer" Butler are at the top of my list. They both play with the energy of a jackhammer on speed.
Such great on vocals David Byron was 👍🤗👍
My Dad used to listen to them...he had several LPs from lots of famous Bands from the 70's...
I do some Crate Diggin in the Footage of my Memories of what LPs my Dad used to have. Hes dead for 5yrs since yesterday.

I grew up listening to Uriah Heep ,look at your self

Love Uriah heep but not David's finest lead vocals in my opinion, still great to see original footage
Legendary band. ❤
Gary Thain the best bass player ever... I love you guys! You bring "Tears in my eyes"....
как Gary Thain мягко передвигается по сцене...завораживает...ново-зеландец...обаяние...
Золотые слова! Полностью согласна.
Великолепно держался на сцене,стильный-"Черный принц".

so glad I have seen them twice In concert in my home town of Rotterdam the Netherlands in 75 and 77, they where part of my youth growing up
David Byron just like Ronnie DIO 🎶😘😂🤗👍👍👍
I love the sun , i love earth ,i love the moon, i love uriah heep

RIP Lee Kerslake
You both must admit that this show has raw energy. Good show doesn't always mean perfect playing or singing!
Huge part of a good show is great playing its their job, Drunk with energy would piss me the hell off
Rock n Roll is about raw energy and rebellion, not perfection, pop music is about perfection!

So sad that such a great singer left us so early in his life. Remarkable voice, David Byron and Ian Gillan were the greatest voices in rock.

Byron's not being lazy, he's drunk. Saw them several years later in Detroit......they were great.
Not only drunk, as the rest of the band. Horrible live. But Japanese don't give a shit as long the name is well known
Kerslake is a MADMAN in this video! Best I ever saw him!

By who?
Blitz of overkill runs to the microphone just in time to get to the vocal line also. Love this band

武道館がちゃんと3階まで埋まってるのはバンドの勢いを証明しているな。デヴィッド・バイロンのステージパフォーマンスはかっこいいのかどうか微妙な気がするが（笑）、イギリス独特のどこか内向的な雰囲気を感じ、個人的にはこれもあり。
