[@erikthompson619]

Thank you! It warms my heart when people actually keep updated about the bands they claim to like, as opposed to be completely in the dark about anything that band has been doing for the last 30-40 years. As a longtime Uriah Heep fan, who make sure to always keep myself in the loop, I can only say: that's the spirit. And yeah, they are the fourth of the Big 4 too, that part is also correct.

[@billg763]

I would say they were on an equal tier with Purple. Ahead of Sabbath, but behind Zeppelin. Heep never did get the airplay in North America that the other three did. And after losing members of their classic line-up they continued to create great music.

[@NoLegalPlunder]

An incredibly talented band. All their albums with David Byron are the stuff of legend. David’s voice is extra special. Even their stuff without him is awesome. A few years back they came out with an album called Wake The Sleeper that is stellar.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

I know Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath are generally referred to as the 'holy trinity of '70s hard rock,' but I'd personally swap out Sabbath for Heep. Sabbath is a little too 'metal' for me, whereas the other 3 bands at least had some slight prog rock leanings to them, which made them more interesting to my ears.

[@RedDawnRocker]

Glad to see you enjoy one of the most underrated rock bands of all time. There have been so many generations of this band with numerous line-ups and lead vocalists that have all excelled at what they do. While many of the founding band members have passed on luckily Mick Box is still here and still going strong. His version of the band is still touring and still has the feel the band was known for from the beginning. It's hard to believe (but not a bad thing i any way) that the band is still going strong after 54 years non-stop. Others have suggested Easy Livin' of which I couldn't agree more but I'll also add Look at Yourself, Salisbury, Rainbow Demon, Fallen Angel, Traveller in Time or Gypsy.

[@billg763]

Illusion, the Dance, Free 'n Easy, Love in Silence, Between Two Worlds, Living the Dream.. So many over 54 years.

[@galandirofrivendell4740]

So many great songs by Uriah Heep from which to choose. They were my first "favorite" band, having been introduced to them by my oldest brother with their song "Lady in Black," a gentle, poignant tune. But if you want some more of their hard-rocking numbers, might I recommend the following: Easy Livin', Gypsy, Look at Yourself and July Morning, with some fabulous synth work by Ken Hensley. And if you're feeling adventurous, you might want to give a listen to the band's 16-minute opus, "Salisbury." This is truly a great rock and roll band that strangely flew mostly under the radar here in America, more's the pity.

[@allenlocke1935]

"Easy Livin'" is a must! Please do the studio version and be prepared to Rock!

Such a great song, David Byron's voice is so good on there. The whole band kills. I'm so glad you are diving into the Uriah Heep catalog. I was lucky enough to see that classic line up or Byron, Mick Box on guitar, Ken Hensley on keyboards & guitar, Gary Thain on bass & Lee Kerslake on drums on their Wonderworld tour in 1974. Also on the bill was Manfred Mann's Earth Band as the middle act & opening the show was a little three piece band called Rush. It was Neil Peart's first show in the US. What a fantastic show. So lots to get into for Uriah Heep. Easy Livin' Sweet Lorraine Circle Of Hands Sunrise Gypsy Rainbow Demon Look At Yourself There's plenty more to guys, enjoy, i know i will.

Their Look ar Yourself album is great! You should listen to "Look at Yourself ", "Tears in My Eyes " and of course my favorite, "July Morning ".

[@allengator1914]

You should do "Paradise/The Spell" from the "Demons & Wizards" album. The same album "The Wizard" is from. Another really great Uriah Heep song that doesn't get enough love is "Tears In My Eyes" It has some fantastic slide guitar riffs in it. "Easy Livin'" is their biggest hit song. When it was first released in the 70s, you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing it they played it so much on the FM rock stations.

[@KenRoerden]

I knew you guys would love this one. From the opening bass line to the building organ to David Byron's vocals, then everyone full out rocking it is right up your alley. Looking forward to you reacting to more Heep. Easy Livin' is an easy one to follow, but the Demons And Wizards and The Magician's Birthday are concept albums so you should do Traveller In Time next. Sunrise and Sweet Lorraine are standouts from The Magician's Birthday. Sweet Freedom and Seven Stars are good choices from this album. For earlier songs check out Gypsy and July Morning. Enjoy!

[@UTubeHandlesSuck]

Oh dear me, am I ready for this? I know _Stealin'_ is epic, so I can only imagine how extra-epic Jay and Amber's reaction will be. Predicting Amber loves all that heavy swirling Hammond organ that was the Heep's signature, and I can't see Gary Thain's bass line not catching Jay's attention. Let's hit play and see if I'm right... 😁 EDIT: I did alright. Did forget the always-classic reaction most anyone gets first time to the narrator laughing about the rancher's daughter. Anyway- Next up, I'd love _Seven Stars_ myself, it's a loud fast jammer. Their biggest success, _Easy Livin'_ is in can't go wrong territory for a good bass-driven one. And then _Circus_ is a nice easy more-acoustic bit sort of like the first part of _The Wizard_ before it goes loud. But ultimately, it's hard to go wrong with the Heep. 😁

[@colibri1]

The only song I remember hearing on the radio in the US by them was "Easy Livin'" from 1972, their only US hit.

[@bookhouseboy280]

Heep are primarily hard progressive Album Oriented Rock and wanted their LPs to speak for themselves rather than be marketed as an overly commercial AM radio pop hits act. They did have around a dozen hit singles ("Stealin'" among those) outside the states. The particular album this song is from, "Sweet Freedom", has sold over 6 million copies.

[@dianetaylor841]

Awesome tune!!!

[@mikejbjones]

Saw them open the show with this number in 1974, Gary Thain (one the the best bass players ever) with short hair due to being electrocuted on stage less than a month earlier (in Houston I believe). Sadly he was not with us much longer, and indeed all of the band playing on this track are now dead, expect for the founder Mick Box (possibly the nicest person in rock). He still tours with Uriah Heep, and they released their 25th studio album, Chaos and Colour, early this year. 2 members of the current line up have been with Heep since about 1989, one joined in 2008 (to replace Lee Kerslake, the drummer who played on Stealin', but had to retire due to ill health), and one in 2014 (I think) to replace Trevor Bolder (bassist from Spiders from Mars - David Bowie, and with Heep since 1976) who again had poor health. The current band can still rock with the best (saw them in October last year), and Stealin' is a staple of their shows. I regard this as the first 'modern' rock song, and indeed many bands (e.g. Areosmith, Queen) cite Heep as an influence. Many will suggest classic songs such as July Morning, Easy, Livin' (try something from their Live 1973 album), but their later tracks (e.g. Overload, What Kind of God, Take Away My Soul) are great as well.

Loved your reaction! I like how into it you were and closely y'all pay attention -- so good. Heep were my 2nd favorite band growing up, ahead of even Zeppelin. As you may suspect they have a lot of very good songs. Lots of variety too, as you already commented on, between The Wizard and this. Hard to say exactly what to do next but I'll give some suggestions. In no particular order. If you want long, epic tunes the 3 to go to are "Salisbury", "July Morning" and "Magician's Birthday". Others (I'm tempted to name about 20, lol) : "Easy Livin' "-- which along with "Stealin" were their 2 biggest songs; "Look at Yourself", "Sunrise" off of "Uriah Heep Live "(1973), "Bird of Prey"; and a few personal favorites that aren't nearly as well known: "Beautiful Dream", "Footprints in the Snow", "Time to Live", "The Park", "A Year or a Day", "Traveler in Time", "Simon the Bullet Freak", "One Way or Another". And that's just with this singer. In 1977 they got a new singer and put out more good music, but I figure that can wait.... Love your channel! Fellow Bengals fan here (Cincinnatian) 😊

[@MILUNGAO]

During the first half of the 70's, some people used to say: "If you like music, you gotta love UK". There were some magic moments during this era: Hard-Rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep were at their prime; David Bowie created a lot of fantastic stuff, Prog Rock bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant made History and Glam-Rock acts like T-Rex, Sweet, Slade, Mott The Hoople had a lot of hits that became timeless anthems.

Bravo, this is still on their playlist to this day. I have soo many favourites right up to their 2023 album Colour and Chaos.

So glad you are getting into Uriah Heep. One of my favorites from the 70's. Definitely react to Easy Livin', Look at Yourself, Sweet Lorraine, Tears in my Eyes. Thanks guys, keep up the Heep!

[@jamesedens8245]

FINALLY!! Thank you for finally doing a reaction to this incredible song!

I always thought that Uriah Heep never got the credit they deserved for being pioneers of keyboard driven hard rock. In my book they should be side-by-side with Deep Purple. Sweet Lorraine, Sunrise and Easy Livin’ are three more of their songs I think you guys would like.

I always liked Heep better than Purple, had more creative take you to that special place songs overall.

Thought Demons & Wizards, Magicians Birthday & Sweet Freedom were their best albums, but really those and their earlier albums with David Byron were also masterpieces 🎶🎸🥁🎹

Easy Living, Sweet Lorraine... and you absolutely have to listen to their Rock'n'Roll Medley.

My favourite band since 1970, when my sister and I bought their very first LP "Very 'eavy ... very 'umble" (so damn expensive for us kids). More Heep? The Wizard; Time To Live; Circle Of Hands; Lady In Black; Weep In Silence; Wonderworld and Echoes In The Dark - to name a few :) Perfect ballads are Rain and Your Turn To Remember for example. And there are many, many more brilliant songs.

This is classic Uriah Heep sound. When they came out I loved it. I still like them, but the songs start daunting alike. For me, that is what is great about the Beatles, Queen, and Pink Floyd. You knew it was them but the songs were varied and different. Still, 50 years later I do still some Uriah Heep. Good job, Rob Squad

Got to see Uriah Heep in a small local club in Dover NH way back when. My ears rang for the next two days! Great hard rockin' band!

Love it any time Uriah Heep gets any attention. They were as special as any of the greats, David Byron fantastic voice and front man. He and Gary Thain died way to young. David Byron, Mick Box, Gary Thain, Ken Hensley, Lee Kerslake, the great Uriah Heep 👍
