First listen to Uriah Heep - Stealin (REACTION) |R.I.P. Ken Hensley|

[@RCullis47]

RIP Gary Thain, David Byron, Lee Kerslake, Ken Hensley.... What a great band they were in that period. For me, their golden era.

[@douglasaltland7615]

The bass player was Gary Thain, one of the most melodic bass players I've ever heard. Highly underrated.

[@robmongar]

Trevor Bolder(ex David Bowie Spiders..)did a bang up job with the Heep until his passing of pancreatic cancer.a few years ago.

[@bruceday4036]

The bass? OMG what a gift. One of my top ten of all time.

[@simon2077]

Seeing these guys in concert at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow was minding blowing when I was stationed in Scotland during my Navy days. 1975 Sweet memories. I still have their album from back in the day. R.I.P. Ken.

[@kenb897]

Mentioned to the wife that we lost Ken Hensley today..lamenting the fact that we are losing the people that we grew up listening to

[@commentatron]

It's okay. Unlike most of us, entertainers that have left a music or film record get to live on through their art. For me, I used to feel a certain melancholy when such people passed, but then realized I was reacting more to the reminder of my own mortality. Yes, I tend to intellectualize things a bit. ;-)

[@sharonm6262]

About 10 years ago, I had the realization that with the baby boomers aging, we were going to start losing celebrities and at faster and faster rate. When I was a kid, my mom would say "these things come in threes" but often the third one was a bit of a stretch... now, these things come in threes, fours, fives, sixes...

[@kenb897]

Its kinda depressing if you stop and think about it Sharon 😕

[@lancesmith4449]

Congrats for getting heep'd. A most influential band from the earliest years of heavy metal.

[@pglover64]

Ken Hensley when living in Florida befriended my 2 brothers and their band “Sweetwater Junction” and played keyboard for them. Sweetwater Junction never recorded any albums but gave performances in middle & South Georgia. Met Ken several times and he always seemed to have fun. When Ken mentioned “jam” what he is referring to is getting together with your bandmates and jammin’ together. In 70s-80s many southern rock & roll events(esp. in Georgia) were called “Jams”. Some which began on Friday evening and played all the way through Sunday evening, 48 hours of continuous rock. Most events were held in rural cow pastures or hayfields and headlined 12-30 acts. Most law enforcements let everyone party and allowed the bands to play as loud as they wanted. These events were called Jams. Most of the “Jams” were for amateur bands and as an incentive to attract the best local rock band talents contests were held and concert goers would vote on their favorite band. Prize money was awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places. Great memories!

[@bigb6046]

Check out their other song "Easy Living" , it's great!

[@texasbassranger]

I'm a lot older than most posters but I gotta say. I've had this song on my life's playlist for over fifty years and still listen to it often.Thanks for playing it. BTW, their live performance in concert is a once in a lifetime experience,,,on par with Moody Bllues and Chicago.

[@guidosarducci]

Excellent choice and reaction! Thank you very much....

[@Spinspiel]

The drummer from Uriah Heep also just passed away in September 2020; Lee Kerslake. Lee was also the drummer on early Ozzy Osbourne.

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

When you reach my age it's expected that my music idols will start leaving us but it's just so damn depressing to go through this at the speed it's happening. RIP Ken and Peace!

[@supercudaone]

Great Band top 15 Listen to "the Wizard" "Circle of Hands" "Salisbury" (Prog) "look at Yourself"

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

the 16 minute song "Salisbury" is one of my favorites.

[@brumleyhall]

I second the request for "Salisbury", which is fantastic.

[@chadheckman2693]

I've got a whole list of my favorite "Heep" songs I put on your Patreon channel. My favorite of all their albums is "Salisbury". You like prog music, so you must listen to it. The song, "Salisbury" is what really caught my attention to this group.

[@lessevdoolbretsim]

Dude's bass is so killin'.

[@mikeriddle383]

URIAH HEEP, The Wizard and Easy Living !!!

[@jonathangilbert2456]

One of the most underrated bands of the 70's. Check out "Beautiful Dream" from the Return to Fantasy album and you will get another side of Uriah Heep. So many great songs from this band. Keep digging and you find gold.

[@dsomerville5293]

The Wizard is classic Uriah Heep. One of the first songs i learned on Guitar. Easy Livin rocks too. Deep Purplish

[@debzvideos]

My first concert I ever attended at the age of 14, I think it was, was Three Dog Night & Uriah Heep was their "warm up" band. This is my favorite song of theirs, for sure. I still crank it up when I listen to it.

[@MissAstorDancer]

I saw UH in November 1972, with the incredible band Savoy Brown opening for them! Both bands were fantastic! It was a fantastic concert! UH was very similar to Deep Purple, IMO. Thank you, Daniel!!!!

[@rayquirk4947]

75 in Liverpool

[@johnness2457]

Savoy brown was a great band saw them in 1973

[@bobangell1679]

I just gotta get this song in while I'm thinking about it... The Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today" (long ORIGINAL version only, please)

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Uriah Heep......another member of that “deep bench” I mentioned yesterday......Southern rock feel on this one....

[@brianmasinelli9694]

Look at yourself and July morning are amongst the many great songs this band has blessed our ears with. Great choice!

[@gilbertsandusky3846]

Look At Yourself .One of my favorites

[@robertveal177]

Thanks for doing this

[@lessevdoolbretsim]

Tears In My Eyes was always my favorite of theirs. 2 guitars instead of keyboard and guitar. Keyboard player is playing slide, he just died, (Ken Hensley).

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Don't know how missed this. Adore UH; first band I ever saw, aged 15. Awesome indeed. Sorry this is late.

[@starwhiteoflove]

I am devastated by this unexpected loss. Although I don't listen to Heep and Ken that much now like I did back in the days, but he was and still is The Wizard in music for me. So many memories and feelings chained to his music. I couldn't do anything yesterday when I read about his passing. Rest in peace.

[@johnhorgash9031]

And don't forgetLee Kerslake the drummer also passed on a few weeks ago. Kerslake was the drummer for Ozzy too! Crazy Train!

[@thomasklempin542]

Proudly say that UH was the LOUDEST band I ever saw.

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

Uriah Heep was always in my top 5 bands in the 70s, later they dropped down to top 10. There's just so many bands that are good out there. It was Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds that knocked them out of top 5.

[@robertwilson5058]

So good! I've loved this song since my early teens.,Thanks for covering it Daniel.

[@stevebinning977]

Gypsy Queen was their encore number. July Morning is a another recommended song. First saw this great band in 1971 when I was 15 years old.

[@michaelcotner8299]

Demons and Wizards. Best album ever.

[@megamaniac7402]

I love Uriah Heep. They had a great run of albums in the early to mid 70:s. The biggest three in heavy rock are considered to be Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. But Uriah where trailing close behind along with the likes of Nazareth and Mountain. A great U H song is "Look at Yourself"(among many others).

[@toddstevens13]

From 69-74 however Heep was the Quintessential Prog Band in the world. The others you speak of are indeed heavy rock Heep separated from them with more Prog and Harmonizing. ALL you spoke of were indee Giants of that time period.

[@nancyaugustine9000]

HEYYYYYYYY U DID URIAH HEEP TYTYTY

[@bobbyg7102]

Heep drummer Lee Kerslake died a month ago. He also was drummer for a couple of Ozzys solo projects.

[@jvmonte6638]

Hi Daniel, other great Uriah Heep songs worth checking out are A Year Or A Day, Return To Fantasy, The Wizard and Salisbury. Peace and love from Toronto!

[@rayquirk4947]

July Morning is my favourite. A classic.

[@realbser1956]

Hadn’t heard this in ages. Brought back great memories.

[@Splitshot1]

Awesome tribute daniel.saw them in the 70's...fun fact- guitarist mick box was hit by lightning like 3 times while playing on stage.

[@charleshornbeak9078]

How about giving children of the sun by Billy Thorpe... it's a great one that I'm sure you've never heard... and need to experience

[@toddstevens13]

Sunrise for a change of pace, OR Salisbury or Gypsy to see the totality of their Progressive Talents. All are spectacular but oh so different.

[@jennifermorris6848]

Who knew Dethstroke meant you’d literally be touching death regularly? I appreciate your taking time out to give these people a listen.

[@shieldsluck1969]

Writing a comment during a vid, GREAT!

[@1nelsondj]

I love this band, first discovered them when I bought their "Best of..." on cassette out of a bargain bin. Their '70s albums were their peak and they've had a LOT of members pass through. The singer on this one David Byron died in 1985, bass player Gary Thain in 1975 who was replaced by John Wetton just out of King Crimson, Wetton died in 2017. He was replaced by Trevor Bolder who'd been in David Bowies Spiders from Mars band, he died in 2013.

[@dalem8332]

Great Group! Demons and Wizards, The Magicians Birthday and Sweet Freedom! I played these 3 albums constantly back in the day! Excellent!♥️🎼🎶🇨🇦

[@midnightfury7267]

Wow I guess that just leaves Mick Box left, I know Gary Thain ,David Byron have long passed on and Lee Kerslake just passed last Sept. Uriah Heep was a great band. My favorite albums were Salisbury, The Magicians Birthday, and Demons and Wizards, I also liked Return to Fantasy. In Jr. high and high school I use to listen to these albums all the time. RIP Ken Hensley you brought a lot of music and joy into my life.😥

[@robmongar]

Uriah Heep is Still writing, recording and performing though Mick Box is the only original member.

[@bfernuttz3737]

Love Uriah Heep! One of the most underrated, or overlooked, heavy bands ever! Check out Sweet Lorraine!

[@TulsaGirlForever]

I wish I had a dollar for each time we sat drinking beer & experienced Uriah Heep. RIP Ken Hensley. I went to see each & every time they played Tulsa or OK City. Nice reaction, glad you young folks discover & enjoy Classic Rock N Roll.

[@byronmitchell3784]

URIAH HEEP, "STEALING" GREAT ROCKING TUNE.. ONE OF MY TEENAGE YEARS FAVORITES. "SWEET LORAINE", "SUNRISE" "SPIDER WOMAN", I SAW THESE GUYS IN MADISON WISCONSIN 1973... I REMEMBER THE BASS PLAYER HAD LONG HAIR DOWN TO HIS ASS, AND A GREAT HUGE MUSTACHE...DAVID BYRON HAD ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF THE DAY. BEFORE HE LOSSED TO THE DRUG SCENE. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS GROUP DANIEL... ONE OTHER THING. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY DAY SOME OTHER ROCK STAR HAS PASSED AWAY...HOW VERY SAD....

[@karenmandeville7116]

they didn't get much radio play (hence this being a shorter, radio friendly cut) they were a classic album band. one of my favs.

[@bobbyg7102]

Yeah ,been waiting for Heep. Check out Pilgrim from the same album. You'll love the lyrics and of course the music.

[@sukie584]

Saw them in ‘75 when I was not yet 15, in Central Park. I hope you get to see lots of concerts in the future!

[@johnness2457]

One of the first bands I saw in concert in the early 70s in Seattle. I lived in olympia and we would throw 5 bucks in gasoline and the tickets back then was about the same as we would drive up to see who was playing every weekend. Good times

[@janinebennett4492]

R.I.P. Ken

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Great bluesy rocker from the Heep.

[@popstarbills4896]

can you imagine Daniel, they are not in a hall of fame!

[@DiconDissectionalReactions]

Uggh... The hall of fame obviously has no clue what they're doing.

[@Benmcevoy1]

Good it us great seem them and rocked

[@stevebinning977]

Uriah Heep were popular in the UK but were very popular in Germany.

[@Lightmane]

The 1950's, 60's & 70's is where Rock music started. It changed the world. Now, those of us who grew up in that most unique era of human history are experiencing the loss of so many who created all this great music, while also going through a global pandemic. I understand that 2021 doesn't end it, but 2020 still can't end soon enough. I'm very concerned for the state of America, let alone the world, over these next 2 'lame duck' months. "Very" concerned.

[@Bigdave1369]

Please check out "Paradise/The Spell" from Demons and Wizards. I listen to it about once a month. It is one of the best songs of the era, IMO...

[@mix6809]

wow.someone else likes the band Uriah Heep? so sad to hear about the passing of my song writing hero, ken hensley...

[@ericreep5341]

Nothing better than the sound of a pissed-off organ! Haha! Love your reaction to this! Peace.

[@ericreep5341]

Btw, that's actually me in the picture, 12 years ago. HAHA! I'm still at it though. Check my FB, I'm just a regular guy.

[@gpeck54]

A favorite band in the 70s that I forget. Check out the album "Demons and Wizards". Any track will do or whole album.

[@AcePanno1]

Uriah Heep 'Rain' and 'The Wizard' for me

[@jamielake-boyd3600]

Stealing when I should of been buying is one of my favorites. Uriah heep was a character in the Christmas carol.

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

Uriah Heep was actually a character in my favorite book ever, David Copperfield, same author as the one you mentioned Charles Dickens. Their first album in England was titled Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble, in the book, the character Uriah did not pronounce the letter H whenever he spoke.

[@stephenowens8763]

Thanks Daniel! I saw him perform this with some random radio personalities and they pulled it off. Ken sounded just like this. They had cool album art too.

[@Thorgrim247]

I love Uriah Heep my friend. I did not know of Ken's passing. We lost David Byron (Vocalist) many years ago. He was a true rock star. ken was the genius behind Heep. He played Hammond and guitars and sand as well as the main songwriter. Unfortunately David Byron's drinking lead to the breakup of the band. They replaced him with John Lawton, who is a great singer, but Much different than David. The bassist Gary Thain was one of the early great bassists. Unfortunately he had a heroine addiction which led to his early death. You should check out more Heep. They are mainly an early prog band, but do have the occasional shorter more radio type songs.

[@garyarnett1220]

Dang, 40+ years since I've heard this, thank you

[@raydemoll5542]

Sweet Freedom- Uriah Heep

[@albertagibinik3436]

Uriah heap was character in a book by charles dickens david copperfield

[@phantomrockerr]

Easy Living is a good one to check out.

[@beatledad]

do Ken Hensley solo song called RAIN quite lovely

[@nancyaugustine9000]

They opened for Kiss in the mid 70s,,,,when they were done ,before Kiss ever even hit a note half the civic center was in the parking lot blastin Uriah heep on the 8 tracks lol

[@BigC.]

Worthy of blowing out my car speakers...again

[@scottcolman9757]

Great tune 😎👍🏻

[@fixzeichner5592]

The title is sung by David Byron, who sang most of Uriah Heep's titles. He died in 1985. Hensley was mostly on the organ and in the choir. Lady in Black was sung by him. Good songs by Uriah Heep:" Easy livin", "Love Machine", "Gipsy"," Bird of Prey", "Return to Fantasy", "Juli Morning" ... Nice reaction from you Daniel.

[@commentingonly7337]

It's not really a big hit but my favorite UH song is Bird Of Prey

[@AnyangU]

The best thing I like about your channel is you have the best spectrum of classic rock of any of these channels. Seriously, you got a great mix of music to listen to. This is a classic song. Love it.

[@donstaley2896]

Again, you would enjoy reacting to Salisbury. It's Uriah Heep's greatest piece. It's a masterpiece.

[@kevinmartin135]

Traveler of Time off the Wizards album...Lee Kerslake the drummer in this band just died last month also...

[@pompejio]

stealin election..., oh.. stealin reaction ! got it. ^_^ Congraz to 10.200 subs. Let's get serious.

[@johnd256]

Another one of my favorite Young blood keep them coming

[@danielburdick1721]

Great band great song great a!bum try the song pilgrim from this album

[@bobangell1679]

"Lady in Black" is my favorite Heep. Saw them at the Portland Expo (Maine) in the early 70s. Not to mention the incredible Savoy Brown opening. Great show for a very young me!

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Blackfoot is a very good band....

[@rafehr1378]

Saw these guys in 1972. The First 3 albums are their, BEST. They made Deep Purple look like a 3rd class band. Deep purple was great that night. Buddy Miles saved souls, lives that night. Uriah Heep opened the show that night. No recording equal that night. Those on LSD never made it out the doors. Running into walls reason why. Used this band, few others to intimate locals overseas while serving overseas. Bring on some"Chamber Brothers" tune, "Time Has Come Today", "Love, Peace & Happiness".

[@kenb897]

Hey there young fellow, Try giving Mott the Hoople a listen to. Ian Hunter has a fantastic soulful voice..Try Golden age of rock and roll, or I wish I was your mother. Ian went out on his own and made some more wonderful music. Try the song Boy

[@chucknoce4217]

Try Shadows of Grief Time of Revalations Salisbury My favorite band

[@dolf370]

One of my favorite groups of the 70s. And one of my favorit albums. Though Stealin is not one of their better tunes.

[@abhimanyumehrotra]

Great choice!! Please react to Pilgrim by them. Hard rock / Heavy prog masterpiece!

[@byronmitchell3784]

URIAH HEEP, "STEALING".. DAVID BYRON ON LEAD VOCALS.. ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS IN THE 70'S. IT WAS THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY ALBUM THAT DREW ME IN.. 4 HIGHSCHOOL FRIENDS AND I DROVE 90 MILES MY SOPHOMORE YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE BASS YOU SO LIKED. HE HAD LONG STRAIGHT HAIR DOWN TOO HIS KNEES... I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THIS TIME OF YOUTH AND GROWING UP WITH GOOD FRIENDS...

[@dolf370]

As a small sidenote: The drummer Lee Kerslake looked just like one of my friends on the cover of this album. And Lee Kerslake passed away recently as well. 19 september. And my old friend that I haven't seen since beginning 80s is also gone, though from what I gleaned he passed away about 20 years ago. R.I.P. to all of them.

[@charleshornbeak9078]

My favorite song of theirs. My good friends of the local band in Florida called Evil Monkey play a great cover of this band. They also play an amusing version of hokus pokus by focus.

[@TheStevo427563]

Ken Hensley wrote just about everything in Heep for 10 years. He was a genius! The reason that he wrote so many songs for them was because he had so many written already.Great songs include July Morning, Look at Yourself, Gypsy, Really too many to list!

[@Отаньо]

🖤🖤

[@alwaysprepared]

Easy Living should be next!!

[@davidmooney2512]

"Salisbury" the song is with a Orchestra different than all there songs. Uriah Heep

[@sueblase8543]

This whole album was great! One Day and Pilgrim are favorites from this release, too.

[@robmongar]

I suggest listening to Demons and Wizards and Magicians Birthday in their entirety.
