One of the most underrated bands of all time July morning and circle of hands you need to check out

[@eddhardy1054]

Also the song Salisbury from the album Salisbury. It's 16 minutes of progtastic goodness 😊

[@sylmyl]

I also love „the park“

"The Wizard" and "Easy Livin" are also great Uriah Heap songs.

[@METALSCAVENGER78]

Pilgrim, Birds Of Prey, Rainbow Demon, Look At Yourself, Sympathy

[@floriangallus7760]

Oh yes, Easy living. And Sunrise and the magicians Birthday

[@YoDuker]

Stealin or Easy Livin are my favorite Uriah Heep cuts

[@Mike_O_Negative]

You're the only reaction channel I follow whose ever reacted to this song, and I honestly didn't expect to ever see this band on a reaction channel. They aren't as revered these days as they should be, easily one of the top bands from the 70's

[@erikthompson619]

The US may have forgotten about them, but in the rest of the world they are rightly revered as a colossal, legendary cult band, play to big crowds and their most recent album "Living the dream" from 2018, got great reception from fans and reviewers alike. A new one will be released this fall.

[@sebastianhubner198]

The us miss everybody​@@erikthompson619

[@glennthompson1173]

The Wizard is a great tune. Uriah Heep was huge in the 70's. They are still performing , but only the guitar player is an original member.

[@midnightfury9001]

Yes they need to check out "The Wizard" lovely track.

[@pmb4200]

Only the original bass player, Mick Box, is left. Ken Hensley, David Byron, Lee Kerslake and Gary Thane are all dead. Most everyone you see in the video has passed away....

[@vinyljunkierecordshop1214]

@@pmb4200 Mick Box plays lead guitar. Gary Thain played bass, but he was not the original bassist. Paul Newton was the first bass player. Gary Thain would not join until "Demons and Wizards."

[@erikthompson619]

@@pmb4200 Mick Box is the guitar player, but otherwise you're right. Coincidentally, it's their 1977 lineup you see in the video, not the 1971 lineup who recorded the song. But regardless, four out of five in that 1977 lineup are in fact dead - just like the classic lineup. On the other hand, the bassist Paul Newton and drummer Keith Baker who you hear perform on the studio original on the audio, are in fact still alive.

[@Bluedruid13]

Don't forget Rainbow Demon

[@scottmatzeder9162]

"Stealing when I should have been Buying" is a banger!

[@dunringill1747]

Uriah Heep has a lot of hidden gems in their music catalogue. This is a band that deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

[@robertherring9277]

"Sunrise" and "Magician's Birthday" always wind up being played at our familiy holiday dinners!

[@alansmith7626]

as well as The Wizard, Stealin....lol. list just goes on if you were there at the time, I doubt few can relate today, lol

[@AJRabies]

Sunrise rocks!

[@edwardkodai1319]

Definitely Sunrise

[@rafehr1378]

72 years old. Uriah Heep saw in California in 1972. They opened for Deep Purple, Buddy Miles second, then thankfully. Uriah blew everyone's minds, and souls that night. Many on LSD panicked due to Uriah's music and sonic concussion. People ran into walls, people, seating, just about anything but the Exits. The song ended the band waited till the pandemonium stopped. Played an unbelievably awesome set. Seen Deep Purple before and after that concert. My second favorite band, Blue Cheer first. 1966 heard BC. I always land on Blue Cheers; "SATURDAY FREEDOM"

[@susanfigueroa872]

"Look At Yourself" is one of their finest albums that includes the single Look At Yourself. Also a song that eerily reminds us of Deep Purples' "Child In Time," is "July Morning". I think you will both agree that it's a, BANGER! Love your channel and appreciate your reactions!

[@sumeetdhir]

What an amazing band. Their body of work is very impressive . So many classics and hits. The 70’s and 80’s was such a great time to be alive.

[@danielh115]

Great music, great band. I'm 60 years old and I still enjoy listening to Uriah Heap 👍

[@drServitis]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER! OLD DUDE HERE! ROCK ON, YOUNG CATS!

[@maxwellportlock2119]

Unusual choice for a Uriah Heep introduction. Most of their songs are much heavier. "Firefly" etc. "Wise man" being my fave

[@monkeydog1436]

The most epic anthem of the entire 70s, gives me the chills to this day! They can play this at my funeral ...

[@bliksempiemoerdyk6605]

Gypsy is my favourite song of theirs with one of the best rifs of all time and the organ. Wow

[@SilentBob731]

In all my decades of music-hunting, I don't believe I'd ever gotten around to listening to these guys. Definite potential, will have to dive down that rabbit-hole directly. 🙃

[@albertzappa1994]

they were one of the greatest bands of all time and had so many different sounds and were one of the first of their kind.💚🎸

[@HoodLizard88]

Ooooh, interesting choice guys, cool song! They have a really great tune called "The Wizard" I think you might like!

[@bullfidde]

Uriah heep had many great songs. Gypsy, stealin' , look at yourself, on the rebound, easy livin' , july morning. Lee kerslake played drums on Ozzys first solo album.

[@thunderspike1892]

Listen to The Wizard, Stealin', Gypsy or July Morning from the David Byron era. He was the original singer and in my opinion the best!. On Lady in Black it is keyboard player Ken Hensley who sings and plays acoustic guitar backed up by John Lawton. Uriah Heep are still playing but guitarist Mick Box are the only from their legendary period that are still alive. Gary Thain bass, Lee Kerslake drums, Ken Hensley keyboards and vocalist David Byron are all dead. RIP. Their vocal harmonies were something else. Just superb

[@craigplatel813]

Have to listen to Lucifer's Friend first album from 1970 to get a good feel for John Lawton voice

[@badbob6689]

They had the GREATEST album covers

[@michaelschwab5628]

Didn't expect this song from Uriah Heep they are a great band! "Stealin" is one of my favorites 😍

[@johnkrauss3916]

Totally agree, wish they would have been introduced to Stealin for their first Uriah Heep song.

[@victorjohnson7512]

Uriah Heep was one of the heavy British bands that came out in the late 60's a long with, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple. When Ozzy went solo (1980) after Black Sabbath, the bass player and drummer from this band joined him...

[@jaimegomez8450]

Uriah Heep are Gods to me! Just an awesomely great band!

[@rogerkelly7988]

Uriah Heep was one of those great bands from the 70s that unless you were there you wouldn't know a lot about but they had some great songs and were great musicians thanks for digging up all of these great bands from the 60s and 70s

The classics are finally here! )) Uriah heep have some great songs, I'll suggest: Gypsy, Think it over, Come away Melinda, Sunrise

"July Morning" too

[@uniquemum73]

I wish you would react to Uriah Heep's The Wizard. A beautiful song. They did a lot of very beautiful songs!

[@jean-francoispirenne6518]

I did not expect that someone would react to Uriah Heep! They were nderrated even at their time. July Morning is the best song.

[@barbaduzas]

Paradise & The Spell. Two songs one after another, masterpiece!

[@agatopol]

"Lady in black" was released in 1970, long before Nirvana. But now after you said it, I can see how Cobain's been influenced maybe :-) "July morning" is their best, IMO, although a bit long (10 min. +). One of the most unique intros ever - organ and guitar. R.I.P. John Lawton 😢 Love your reactions, guys

[@erikthompson619]

@Bookhouse Boy "Lady in black" was in fact released in 1971.

[@jamesallen137]

Need to listen to "Easy living "

[@foiabun1]

You should listen to their live performances from 1973. It features the vocalist David Byron, who in my opinion was their best front man. Some great songs would be "Sunrise", "Sweet Freedom", "July Morning".

[@robertcolon4272]

I like to the look on people's faces when they review Uriah Heep..... awesome.

[@andyj639]

Top tune. Love the vocals at the end and the deliberately soft accompaniment of the guitar so that the beautiful voice harmonisation wouldn't be over powered.

[@seansweeney2875]

Thank you both for playing heep. Its really great to young people...appreciate and be really impressed with the past ie heep 🎵🎶🎸🎹i think lady in black was a big in Germany. The Germans have always loved heep..they were so underated and unique..great band saw them many times in 70s..with byron and Lawton ..both had magnificent voices... Loved them. Could be really heavy...really...then Could do a song like. Lady in black..long live the past and 70s..god bless you both..heep forever 🎵🎶🎸🎸🎵

Oh WOW... Uriah Heep classic tunes from 70's only found these in 1980 in a record store as teenager as a metal head and been a fan ever since some great tunes to hear from them hope you explore more too

[@ΝικοςΡαπτης-ξ2ψ]

"Look at yourself" deserves a reaction video

[@MrTheCuchillo]

When music was music , and ment something. Best song ever

[@sumonjamal1653]

Uriah Heep is actually a major name in British rock... formed in the late 60's (named after an evil character in the novel 'David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens) by Mick Box (guitar), Ken Hensley (keys & guitar) and David Byron (vocals)... Uriah Heep rose to fame in the early 70's w/ a mix of fantasy fiction & prog rock. Uriah Heep carried on in the 80's and 90's w/ new members... Mick Box is the only original member left today... Bernie Shaw is the current singer. Their only link w/ Nirvana is the basic 'retro' rock sound of the 70's. Nirvana took that approach... but their inspirations came from Sabbath, early Beatles, early Zeppelin, early Aerosmith & Kiss...

[@marktaylor1498]

I love that your exploring alternative music

[@VinE83656]

Other Uriah Heep suggestions: July Morning, Stealin', Easy Livin', The Wizard, Bird of Prey, Gypsy are some classics. They are still active today and putting out good solid albums. Their personnel and sound has changed over the years with the times but now they are pretty true to their 70's roots again, though with only one original member.

[@michaelavery6390]

Heeps Magicians Birthday. Its a must !

[@jeffbolton9699]

Mick Box is an old friend of mine, I jammed with his oldest son and brother in law a couple of weeks back.

[@johnmarsh2078]

The singer and writer Ken Hensley died last year. I think he was about 75. He was wonderful.

[@johnbamforth2974]

This is actually a song about someone who is on a destructive path and someone (The Lady in Black) appears and takes the time to counsel them and gets them to change their lives for the better.

[@waltertraxel]

Uriah Heep is one of my favorite bands. You have barely scratched the surface with "Lady in Black". Uriah Keep has a smorgasbord of musical talent. I would suggest "Easy Livin'" to start before diving into the musical adventures that they will take you on in the future!

" Magicians Birthday' is both an Air guitar, or air Drums masterpiece! just saying.

[@markallen2984]

Good song! This is the 1st time I've heard it, too.

[@wallacemarty]

At that time period british music was all about wizards and knights and fair ladies and battles. Rock was influenced by folk, flutes in rock music was common. It was Lord of the Rings when it was still only a book, and the images were only in people's minds. Stairway to Heaven, and Jethro Tull are from this era.

This was my generation as a high schooler. Vietnam War era. Could be Cobain heard it growing up. Yes, you're talking the 1970's---part of the hippie era. These guys were not Charles Manson types. Ken Hensley is the lead singer, and, I believe, the author of the song. Lots of talent in that group. So much fun to see youth reacting to this.

The lady in black comes from another realm, dimension, to a warrior who knows no life but war who wants to kill all his foes, but she will not have it and with her words changes his life. Because of HER, his life is no longer a HELL on earth, and she may someday come to you...if you're very lucky.

That big "DISCO" sign behind them is funny.

[@matthiaskaufmann1229]

I really like these "reaction videos". It's like someone unknowing gets introduced to a higher truth. And was it any better, when we first, consciously, listened to this song or another? I mean, with me, when was it, in the mid ninties? The song already was more than 20 years old. It's the same with movies. When did YOU see Matrix or Fightclub, and when did the Millenials see them, if ever.

[@stevenbeck5746]

Some fun facts about Lady in Black. First released 1971 on the Album Salisbury and reached success in Germany and Russia. David Byron refused to sing it as he didn't like it, sung by Ken Hensley The version you watched was the re release version in 1977 and got to #5 in Germany David Byron was sacked by this time and the singer next to Hensley was John Lawton who replaced Byron The song only uses 2 chords Am and G - It's a bloody good 2 chord song. LAdy in Black has been covered many times and been rewritten into different languages.
