URIAH HEEP - Stealin. Live at The Midnight Special, September 28, 1973.

[@tombeyer375]

As a young teenager, when this came out, enjoyed the hell out of this number!! STILL DO!!

[@stlrockn]

I saw them in Nashville 10 days before this performance was recorded. I met them after the show and a couple of us had a drink with front man David Byron at the hotel where they were staying and talked music for a few minutes. Nice guy. It's so sad all of them are gone except guitarist Mick Box. This version of the band should be in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame.

Blame that on Def Leppard Hysteria, Whitesnake 87 and the oh so perfect onslaught of hair metal and early urban music. This performance is out of tune pitchy vocals with cracking voices, and that raw honesty that drew us to it. There's still good music, but the industry kills it

[@neilyoungfan]

I saw them during the World Series of Rock at Cleveland Municipal Stadium in August 1975. On the bill was Rod Stewart and Faces, Uriah Heep, Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult and Mahogany Rush. It poured down rain at one point and we got soaked sitting in the infield about 40 foot from the stage. They even turned on the stadium lights to try to dry it out a bit. Great show!

[@bobinscotland]

Sublime... my favourite line-up of the band as well. First concert was Uriah Heep in November 1973 at Glasgow Apollo, Scotland. The following year, they opened with STEALIN' and the stage was in total darkness with just a couple of small guide lights to get the band on stage. A waterfall of dry ice was pouring across it and right over the front, with Dave Byron sitting cross legged on a monitor at the edge with a single spotlight now on him. First verse was riveting, then came the explosion of sound as the whole band came in and full colour lighting drenched the stage which looked even more amazing. Managed to see this line-up five times, and one more with John Wetton on bass for Return To Fantasy, so this band is held in the highest regard by me forever. I also had the privilege of speaking to Ken Hensley about running with an idea for a film with Uriah Heep songs from the 1972-75 era as the soundtrack, but it never expanded to the point where we felt it could be done properly without a big budget. Ah well... just need to listen to all the records again and imagine the film which is locked safely in my head... lol

Still have this album on original vinyl. Have Demons and Wizards and Magicians B'day as well. Come to think of it, I have Wonder World too. I don't think Thain played on that one but I could be wrong. I remember the first time I heard Mick play Magician's b'day, I was blown away. Was just learning how to play guitar and it just seemed unreal to make a guitar sound like that. I saw them around 74-75 in Columbia SC and they were great. Man, the 70s was the best time for music, especially as a budding guitarist!

@@Uriah_Heep_Archivist I believe that date is right. It was at the Carolina Coliseum. I think Wet Willie did open, I don't remember if Quatro was there. I saw some great shows there. The first concert I went to was Santana after Abraxas came out and then next was Alice Cooper with the Killer tour. One of the strangest line ups was Golden Earring, Blue Oyster Cult and Lynyrd Skynyrd on the same bill in that order. I still have stubs from those shows. Ticket prices were under $10!

@@bluzzjazz fantastic shows and line ups! I have a ticket stub but unfortunately I cannot attach it here (check my page to see how you can 'reach' me if you want a copy). Indeed, the price was $6... a long shot but do you know if photos or an audio recording from that Heep concert exists? (regardless of quality)

Septiembre 2024. La voz de David Byron en riguroso directo sin trucos ni añadidos. Sobresaliente. Esta fue la mejor formacion de los Heep y esta cancion inolvidable.

Byron was one of rocks best vocalist ever, and also one of the most messed up. is it irony or inevitable?
