If there was a Big Four of British Hard Rock and Heavy Metal in the early 70's, these guys would be in it with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin
I have 61 years old too, and I was a little boy , 12 years old the first time I listened to this song and Look at yourself another hit of UH. The '70 RocknRoll bands were the best ever.
True... This is milestone no doubt. Back in the day i used this song as a good luck charm, dates, exams, and stuff like that! Most of the times it worked :) good old mick box guitar attracts good vibes :))
Als 69er geborener im Gründungsjahr dieser einmaligen Band danke, dass es Euch noch gibt und ich freu mich so sehr Euch im März 24 Live in Dortmund wieder zu sehen und zu genießen, danke, danke, danke
@@stellaqaustralia It was my old man who introduced me to Sabbath, Deep Purple and to this day he has a ton of Uriah Heep and Zepplin original vinyls in the loft
The legends Uriah heep of progressive Heavy music. This song was the forerunner of the definition of true heavy music in 1970. Best British original group of the 1970's.
The sheer power and the deceptive simplicity of this song make it a timeless masterpiece... Between this album, Black Sabbath's first album, Deep Purple's In Rock and Led Zeppelin's third album ( and many others ) 1970 was a good year 🙂🙂🙂
Ich war damals 13 oder 14 Jahre und neben Lady in Black, Easy Living war Gypsy mein Lieblingssong, da wurde laut aufgedreht. Habe das voll genossen. Liebe diese Stücke noch heute und drehe laut auf, was für eine Musik !
I’m 62 now and still a huge Heep fan. I remember playing this on my little record player and my dad tossing me headphones and telling me to use them. I later worked in radio and devoted an hour to nothing but Uriah Heep
I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me "hold on" Her father was the leading man Said "you're not welcome on our land" And then as a foe, he told me to go He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her "leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world Ah Oh, I want my gypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he'll understand Ah Ah Ah
There was a radio station called Szabad Europa in Germany, and a dissident Hungarian hosted the Sunday afternoon program. I heard the first Uriah Heep songs there! A love that continues to this day, because they not only wrote simple songs ahead of their time, but also composed pieces, e.g. Salisbury! Well, the point is that my first two recordings of Uriah from the "Géza Ekecs" program/German radio/ were Gypsy and Come Away Melinda on a cassette tape recorder with a microphone! Here it was decided, and I started bringing the LPs to Hungary in 1972-73
I saw Three Dog Night at the Anaheim Convention Center with warmup group Uriah Heep (who I knew). When they came out they said "This is our first appearance in America"!
Мені 63 , і це є музика моєї юності. Юрайхіп найкращий гурт у світі ! Але до 1975 року. Далі вже Юрайхіп другий , не той , що з Байроном , Хенслі , Тейном і Боксом , Лі Кірслейком , це є золотий склад Юрайхіп. Найкращий !
War damals vier. Meine Eltern hatten damals das Album.....habe es Anfang der 80er bei mir ins Zimmer gepackt.....heute hören es meine Söhne.....das ist crazy.....das ist gypsy.....😂
I must say Gypsy's riff was so memorable for me that it's really brought me to heavy rock sound when I was about 7 in early 70s. Way before AC/DC..The other was Purple's Smoke on the Water. My much older cousins played it and it caught me. I didn't play instrument then so I just hummed it a lot especially when doing something..😅
Uriah heep ,legende and icone world culture and popculture.and hard rock 70.years.songs and music uriah heep_beatifull Melody,Harmony,tonally,tempe and rhythm,vocals,lyrics and sound music.aestetics,poetics.i love uriah heep!i love rock n roll!i love freedom.thanks your very much.peter ragac,slovakia
I was about 13 or i4 when they played blackburn king Georges hall and this song has stayed with me ! Im 57 now and remember mick box passing me his plectrum! What a guy! Been playing this to my son who's 34 and hes impressed! .wish they would tour again!! And come back to blackburn!
Clean forgot about this band until my son asked me to listen to a Metallica rif and Uriah Heep came to mind, great music, son even agreed, very progressive for that Era,hmmmm our music was the foundation .
Just incredible. The Heep are ridiculously underrated in the Pantheon, and the English Pantheon. One of the alltime greats. I was born in 1961. How lucky we were to be teenagers as rock was being born. What a song. This song rivals Deep Purple's greatest songs, and I am the ultimate Purple fan.
I've recently started exploring Uriah Heep and a lot of the songs I've listened to sound very familiar like stuff I would have heard my dad listening to when I was a kid.
Oh the memories. was teenager. They came to Auckland , New Zealand. We had no money to see so early Saturday morning we climbed through ticket box and climbed up a tall tree to avoid security then climbed down later and enjoyed the concert 😊
Back when I was a 14yr old I REALLY wanted 'live after death - Maiden....parents were concerned about devil worship etc. So got a comp. Album of Rock, this song blew my mind! 😎🎸🎼🎤
Ich war 13 Jahre, als ich sie das erste Mal gehört habe und wir danach abgetanzt haben, aber das war im knieen, damals galt das noch als "Underground" - kann sich heute niemand mehr vorstellen!
We have always loved URIAH HEEP....!!! I remember that I recorded the song GYPSY live on a RAI 2 Italia broadcast in September 1971 played by a local progressive group STORMY SIX. I was immediately fascinated and over time I started two URIAH HEEP cover bands in Florence. Even today the group that I love most and play most willingly is THEM...!!! 🎶🎵🎶❤💔

Certainly Uriah Heep was one of them. ❤❤🤘🤘🤘
Spot on!!! !00% agree there!
They have always been up there imho
Well I would say for hard rock it would be Led Zeppelin Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. Heavy metal would be Sabbath Priest and Maiden.

When I was only seventeen
I listened to Uriah Heep
They told me "Hold On"!

I was 16 and this song layed the foundation for rock music. I am 61 and still love it. These legends will live forever...

Spot on correct!!!

Still rocks in 2023 🤘 Cheers from Denmark
One of their songs that even Deep Purple must have envied.
Kind of reminds me of a cross between Deep Purples Into the Fire and Rainbow ‘s 16nth Century Green Sleeves and Fire Dance.
@@thetruthhurts6652 for me some parts sounds like 21st century schizoid man
Such a good song
LOL. Bravo.
@@joaquinlezcano2372 The bridge section or 1:07 is definitely influenced by Schizoid man.
Haha 65 I had this when it came out. We were young and fierce.
The very first step in the Byron era.
Uriah Heep the first line up was composed by fabulous music-wizards
One of the absolute classics
Being born in the early 90s. I have such an admiration for late 60s and early 70s rock and metal. This band is one of them. 😎
Aah! Thanks kiddo …you give old farts hope!
Same here.
Same here, also born in the early 90's and love the rock music of this era too.

In south Africa Is top hot
I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me "hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said "you're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go
He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her "leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world
Ah
Oh, I want my gypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand
Ah
Ah
Ah
yes.. i am pride from philippines
Cheers bro, I know them off by heart, but awesome that you took the time to write out the words
Niente da dire
Ricordi di un tempo che è vivo solo nella mente

Roadroller rythmn section...Killer guitars....Sharped hammond organd...And a glorious vocal frontman!!
What a debut!
At the same level of Deep Purple, and pherhaps even higher at that time!! Wish we could go back in time ! This is a masterpiece!
Heep were awesome. But let’s not get carried away here. Blackmore is god.
Wish I could go back in time, but it´s all over now!
Very 'eavy very 'umble is one oh the masterpiece of Rock Music .
My heroes are all passing away. RIP Lee, thanks for the great music.
What a Riff
They were so Great with David Byron
I saw Three Dog Night at the Anaheim Convention Center with warmup group Uriah Heep (who I knew). When they came out they said "This is our first appearance in America"!
I was 19 when I first heard this album. Saw them live when I was 22.
Ho 67 anni ed ho acquistato l' LP all'epoca dell'uscita....lo ascolto ancora ....che sound....
Listened throughout my teens so much that the lyrics are still fresh. Im 63
Now I'm 40. This music is my life
Awesome to me the first heavy song i heard bought the album i am 69 now.

Мені подобається Хіп до 1977 року.. Альбоми High N Mighty, Firefly, Innocent Victim також дуже класні
Повністю згоден!!!
Vor 51 Jahren habe ich danach getanzt - heute nicht mehr zu glauben - macht´s gut, ihr Nachkommen!

Very heavy, very humble indeed. This song blows every hard rock tracks to smithereens.
Rest in peace Ken Hensley ❤🤘😥
Heard this today on Planet Rock top 40 greatest guitar riffs and had to scratch that itch.
Saw the at the penthouse in Scarborough the loudest gig ever Awesome.
this song gives me the power that no drug can
At 69 I had all but forgotten about Uriah Heep 😥 Hearing this again swept away the years! Why, oh why, did I sell off my album collection? 😥
Paul Chandler because you were young and foolish 😁

Yeeeeesssss....oh man what a gem

Clean forgot about this band until my son asked me to listen to a Metallica rif and Uriah Heep came to mind, great music, son even agreed, very progressive for that Era,hmmmm our music was the foundation .
What I love about Uriah Heep is how every song tells a story. Getting whipped by Gypsy King WOW
Nothing like that Hammond B 3 sound on the keyboard
it’s still heavy till today… imagine bk then… all parents nightmare to this kind of music…. 🤣🤣…. a rebellious teenager music… 😅😅
Awesome ! Heep Forever baby !! Rip Mr. Byron !

These days I isten only to Uriah Heep. Love them
i was 8 at the time and was sooooooooooooooooo impressed by the Album cover
One of my favorite bands during the 70s and a salute to the band members that have going on. RIP 🙏

Saw them live in st.louis Missouri in late 60's.i was hooked on them since..many around the world still have never heard them.how sad
Byron and Hensley were fantastic ❤
Mick Box wasn't bad either...He's always been a bit underrated...
The cover still spooks me from when I was 5
