That voice! Never to be matched again in Rock. I first heard Byron sing this song when I was very young and I was mesmerised from the first note. I learnt to sing rock by listening to Byron's vocals. I admire Hensley's incredible songwriting - numbers that were scaled for a big Rock sound and that mean something. Today I am old and the memories of covering some of their songs are pure gold. This is the greatest rock band of all time.

He uses science fiction writers for a number of their lyrics.

Волшебник У многих тысяч королей он чародеем слыл, Случайно встретившись в ночи, меня он поразил. Рассказывал мне столько притч и пил моё вино. И было магу, как и мне, безмерно хорошо. На нём из золота был плащ, горел огонь в глазах, Словами он меня зажёг, я думал - боль и страх Должны покинуть этот мир, и я смогу помочь Свободу людям обрести и беды превозмочь. «Ну почему нам не слышны слова сердец порой? Тогда бы поняли, что все равны мы меж собой… Достоин счастья каждый раб, он петь сумеет вновь. Ведь нам понятна радость дней, даёт покой любовь.» Так говорил мой чародей, пришедший с дивных гор, Не будем одиноки мы, и с этих самых пор Мечтать о ночи волшебства я стану в свете дня, А нить от серебристых звёзд к ней поведёт меня.

"Uriah heep" he said they were great. With a "J" in my pocket , I took him up on it . The 1st UH. album we listened to was "Demons and Wizards" . My new friend Steve , he played a Gibson SG guitar . He played every note as we listened .Next was " The Magians birthday " , by then we were "felling fine" and the music fit perfect ! This was a little different music .The back-ground vocals and Hammond organ. Just grabbed me , I've met people that HATE HEEP ?????? I was a BIG Beatles and Stones fan . So I always dug good music .Also around the early 70's Zepp , Sabbath , Purple were also in my ear . Well then Steve, still with guitar in hands.. put "U.H. Live 73" on the turntable and that just hooked me .WOW. At the age of 26years , I was on a date with a Girl who would end-up to be my wife.....well we were holding each other and I was humming the song "Sunrise" , she started to sing the words . When I told her It was my favorite band, she said it was one of hers too. As time went by she is a WONDERFUL Women ,Mother. I knew she was the girl for me. We raised 4 children ....they were brought -up on the music . It goes on and on . Sooooooo much more I could tell of the influence ,of this band and not just musically . I'm around 60 years old and HEEP is a everyday thing.... It is the sound track of my life .Through the good and bad times , some HEEP song will pop in my head and carry me. I lost contact with Steve ...in or around 1980 . I'm sure he is still jamming with his guitar to some CLASSIC ROCK music . I was lucky to grow up with some of the greatest music ever made . Uriah Heep is my band , i have met most of the band / past and present ,autograph's pictures , books ,tee shirts .THEY ARE IN MY SOUL . R.I.P. Ken Hensley ,Lee Kerslake ,John Wetton , Trevor Bolder, David Byron , Gary Thain . Peace , Love .

[@davidlichner9349]

All right you rock and roll stoners from the midwest, and you know who you are. How 'bout the 70's, was it a fuck'in good time or what?

[@crazze6163]

what about us here in the northeast? Boy what I give to be crusin" with my bud George in his fucked up 1970 Mustang listening to this...r.i.p. buddy.

[@davidlichner9349]

crazze6163 Ok, you guys too! Ride'in around listening to good rock and roll look'in for chicks, sounds great, and I know what ya mean. I had a fucked up, rusty '59 Chevy, but it had a great Clarion component system in it, and I used to take it out every night so it wouldn't get stolen. With kick ass coaxial speakers front and back. Ya, that was all we needed for sound then!

[@rickydiorio9750]

THE BEST NEVER WILL BE REPEATED WE ROCKED 4 REAL YO AND THE DRUGS WERE AWESOME TOO LOL

[@Tim.Pierce]

i need a time machine bad!!! i wanna go back dammit!!

[@dcfire2895]

It was! Marengo High in Illinois!

[@CLIVEGRAHAME]

I now know why I loved this Group in the 1970’s- still excellent music all these years later 👍

[@TM62588]

First Neil and now Lee RIP. Lee inspired a 7th grader in 1977 to get serious about drums. What a monster musician.

[@johnhitz1185]

Their best album and one of the very best from 1972, when so many classic albums were released.

[@adog3029]

Always loved Uriah Heep

[@jlswickhaber]

dancin girls, Indian pants and silver boots all wrapped up in Uriah Heep. epic!

[@redwave3520]

Demons and Wizards! Great LP! Best song on the album!

[@niterunner7798]

songs like this, stairway to heaven and hotel california all tell story instead of being about romance and relationships and nothing can beat a good story

[@timgradisher6208]

I grew up in the era, I remember the group, the album, and the song, and I sing it today, awesome!!!!

[@blitzkriegahsofar]

Another all time favorite, great Uriah Heep :)

[@blitzkriegahsofar]

Marena Sanders eгσs тнąиąтσs n Heep Heep, I'm back! Hope to see you soon, friends. Besoooss :)

[@marhsallkristoff]

I'm 15 years old love Uriah Heep!!! Such amazing music!!!! Has helped me through a lot!!

[@timpowers4449]

Saw UP in 1973 and an immediate WTF set in. Awesome sound and arrangements. My college roommate saved my life the spring of that year. I wasn’t graduating (grades whet else) with he and my class. We took off for the mountains of South Carolina and their music and Gary talked me off a cliff. Benn listening to them for 50 years and get that same rush now as then.

[@777RockNRollin]

Rock on !

[@RG-ja34sep]

Gary Thain was a brilliant bassist, RIP.

[@azwris]

Also a legend!

[@FirCorred]

YES! oh yes. Thank you for that comment, R G!

[@wickedb.2586]

Dedicated to Dave Byron, a voice like an angel. I got all records, . R.I.P.

[@jackulrich]

Lyric that has more meaning today than it did in 1972. I was 13 years old and I wished that spirit was back.

[@8lenorman]

Wow with this masterpiece I honour all these wonderful musicians 😀😀😀😀😀😃

[@fslx]

I love these guys! They're so under-appreciated in the US! One of my top ten bands of all time.

[@DVSNTHERE]

Wow! This is my first Uhiah Heep song. Love it!

[@idontknowhowtobehavetv3664]

My dad showed me today for the first time...I'm 30

[@gmedeiros5748]

Pioneers of metal and one of the first to have a actual vocalist that could sing And very well!

[@audio_guy]

I can't stop watching this video, it's excellent! why can't we still have great music like this today?

[@kynoceph]

I just don't think people are brave enough to do music like this. This music is out-of-style these days. People seem to want to focus on boring boy/girl songs. If not that, they want goofballs pretending to be criminals and blabbering instead of singing. There seems almost to be an aversion to being good at playing an instrument well in most pop and rock music today. This music has higher aspirations lyrically, and the musicianship is top-notch all the way around. I'm afraid someone trying to write songs like this today would just get made fun of by cynics and called "Spinal Tap" or "dad rock" or worse. The purity and innocence of this song, and the aspiration to reach higher and create a better world, is something that, unfortunately, a lot of people can't seem to connect with right now. It takes guts to make music like this in the current social environment, and I hope that one day some band will get up there and start singing about wizards and world peace again, because we damn sure need it. Now I'm off my soapbox.

[@samthecan3116]

You should check out lil xanax, sounds a little bit like this.

[@skyemacallister1306]

Because "we" already have it. It is "ours" and they can't take it from us. We lived with the Wizard in his mountain home. Something, kids will never understand.

[@lesleypresley]

Saw this band at Reading festival back in 1977. Expected to hate them. Ended up being one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Still love them to this day!

[@andybenitez]

Hi Lesley

[@I7435IC]

That's super cool ! Mick Box walked right up to me years ago & shook my hand,, followed by the whole Band,,,, when I was standing in line to see them. Blew the other Fans away around me. Must of been my Hippy Biker/ Rocker,, long hair ect.. LOL. ✌😎👍 Still have the long hair almost down to my waist,, but getting pretty thin on top... 😔 Am in decent shape though ,,for my age,, & try to stay active,, plus still pound the Bass,, which will always keep you young ! 😉 Ian

[@kingdiamondfan4032]

How in the fuck can there be 1500 people that dont like this greatness?

[@michaelrainone296]

They don't know any better.They probably like most of the shit music out now.Regards.

[@jennyaddington6426]

I've Always Loved, Uriah Heep! This particular song, NEEDS TO BE BLASTED ALL OVER THE WORLD! INSTEAD OF BOMBS! Now, That's Heavy! ❤

[@rkenny8399]

What musical geniuses these guys really were and will remain that way for ever no other rock band could ever come close to these guys complete quality forever RIp David you are a legend

[@mariomaciel7982]

I was blessed to see Uriah Heap at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens in 1972, one of my all time favourite bands, awesome vocals great performance

[@247onacid]

high as fuck, dressed in fabulous carnival rags, sharing some wizard's wisdom I miss this type of culture so much

[@bridgetking4553]

Me fucking too

[@MRSludgedude]

Then the 80s got all slick and polished

[@pjackson8027]

An era when Uriah Heep with Ken Hensley were excellent.

[@user-lc3tl2ck4m]

я просто хочу жить в 70-х... там кайф и моя любимая музыка..

[@joicemonteiro1425]

Ken Hensley,descanse em paz .Um dos maiores tecladistas e compositores que o mundo do rock já viu.

[@martybear2995]

Blinding band saw them in the 70s blew me away. .....demons and wizards..... GET IT

[@Starduster93]

Marty Bear My favorite!! Love this Album so much!

[@MegaSunflower56]

I saw them in 70s too in Manchester uk awsome gig!!

[@techn44]

Ken Hensley. I am crying. R.I.P. Вечная память...

[@vivaspetrov8908]

Вот же наградил господь, одного божественным, не побоюсь этого слова, вокалом, а второго композиторским даром. Ну были же люди...

[@sergerenault8475]

Quelle chanson! Elle était égarée tout au fond de ma mémoire...Je viens de tomber dessus par hasard. Cela faisait peut-être 30 ans que je ne l'avais plus entendu. Tout simplement Magnifique!

[@waynedallamore4064]

One of my all time favorites! Bought the sheet music, learned to play most of the demons and wizards album on guitar....drove my mother nuts!!
