Uriah Heep - Live in Bijou Theater 1972 (part 1)

[nathanoman1]

man they fucked the energy of that intro up...

[kingofcanton]

Grew up with these guys...best Uriah Heep lineup ever.

[gabooo77]

Kerslake, Byron, Box, Thain, Kensley....... the best team of Uriah Heep!!!

[plasticjesus108]

[TheMarcio2014]

URIAH HEEP FOREVER!

[mat89forzamilan]

[bassplayer4445]

Can't understand why there NOT in the rock and roll hall of fame

[docmilsap]

[RainbowZepUriahFab]

Great concert! I love Uriah Heep and I love Gary Thain, i think he is one of the best bassist in the history of the music! LONG LIVE URIAH HEEP!

[Angelious0]

garbage 

[MrTorreggiani]

love gary thain too

[davifade]

Thank You for posting. Cheers!

[PoffyTheCucumber]

Man, you never see dynamics like this in modern rock music. Actual ppp and fff.

[drummin59]

Gary Thain was the best bassist ever.....

So sad he OD'ed in 76, RIP GARY...........

[pudas78]

Gary Thain was one great basplayer. Sad that he died so young..

[sisti57]

Nekem ők a 2. legnagyobb együttes , ( a purple után )

[griffinfinity]

The intro contains some of the heaviest moments in rock 'n' roll history up until that point in time...unbelievable power and Thain was THE key that unlocked it....saw at the Hammond Civic Center in '75?! Blew the roof off the place...

[ultrakoichitube]

These guys deserve to have honours especially Mick Box and Ken Hensley! RESPECT THE HEEP 41 years in ROCK!! Pioneers of METAL!! Proud to be ENGLISH!!

[ahorwood]

Holy crap!

Thanks Schtuletz. I have never seen this before. I saw Heep live several times, back when I was young, but nothing quite as 'studio' as this.

The intro sent shivers down my back. All of the guys going apeshit at the same time. This was far and away the best line-up. Every man there was excellent, though I most liked Gary Thain as a person. He was a very pleasant guy, with time to talk to a fan. A brilliant bassist, too, of course.

Hot damn! This is good. Thanks again.

[MegaJewels1]

1st band I ever sang in...had an old Hammond organ. This was back very early 80's when I began my own rock-band days!! We did Purple, Zeppelin, The Who...but no Heep. Damn I miss those long ago days. and yes-GIRLS CAN SING ROCK!!! Real rock, not bubble gum shite!

Byron reminds me a bit of Freddie Mercury in the way he looks, but both phenomenal singers!

[davifade]

Wow.. Rare Stuff here. Thank You Schtuletz for posting. I love in the interview where Gary says "you have to hang yourself on stage for audience's to be interested, like Alice Cooper." I've never seen this either. It's great, thanks so much.. dw

[kriegco]

TODA UNA EPOCA DE BUENA MUSICA!!!

[1drumgod55]

was tripping when i seen em in 72 earth wind and fire opened up oh the good old days what a great band

[combridge1]

Awesome beyond all!

[tazslingerland]

God I haven´t seen this, thank you very much for sharing , this jewel

[Tchernowizer]

One of the greatest songs ever. Of the same gigantic caliber as Stairway To Heaven and Smoke On The Water. Uriah Heep will live forever on.

[mmeasso]

HEEP... many thanks!

[santyrush]

at 0:28 second, seems to Geddy lee of Rush.

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@santyrush Yes, I've seen him on some of the YT thumbnails thinking it's a Rush clip and it's this band. There's a couple of songs on Demons and Wizards that sound similar to '70s Rush.

[jsilence418]

@IThinkYouLookLarvely Uriah heep couldn't carry Rush' fuckin guitar cases or drum stands! I'm sure to you it all sounds the same anyway lol twit!

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@jsilence418 Rush have said they were fans, and one influence can be heard in Closer To The Heart. Listen to UH's The Wizard. I have no problem telling the bands apart, but surely you're able to pick up on similiarities?

[jsilence418]

@IThinkYouLookLarvely lets see Rush industry accolades respect, huge fan base even John Paul Jones told Geddy Lee, " I have all your albums" uriah heep in the words of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen " their ( heep s) popularity amazes me, trash, I couldn't possibly stay in a room and listen" you are an idiot that has no real taste or ability to discern good from bad it is obvious !

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@jsilence418 Deciphered your message by filling in the punctuation and adjusting the grammar. I like all the artists you mentioned and own albums by all of them. I wish you mentioned something I hate. As to whether something is good or bad, it's purely subjective. You, or even Donald Fagen saying UH is trash doesn't mean they are in other people's eyes. I hate most rap and R & B music from after about 1992, though don't have time or any urge to go to their YT channels to dis them and their fans.

[jsilence418]

@IThinkYouLookLarvelyre So glad you are good at punctuation, too bad you are not much of a thinker though. as the idea of subjectivity has nothing to do with intrinsic value . Some people have a disorder that has them eating dirt , cigarette butts etc I don't think it is subjective on my part to say these things are not healthy to eat . you are not that bright, but subjectively I don't care.

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@jsilence418 I don't know how you can come to that conclusion about me from a few comments. "Subjectively I don't care" doesn't even make sense. That's subjective by default! I always try to avoid putting comments that involve saying stuff I wouldn't dare say to someone's face. But I dare say you probably don't have much of a life outside of slagging people off on the internet. Also, why do you even view a UH video when you hate them anyway?

[jsilence418]

@IThinkYouLookLarvely Once again every comment you make shows how clueless you are! I bet your music collection would induce the cringe factor to the Nth degree! and I am not talking about the music you have because it's quality but you never listen to because you can't get into it .uriah heep lol sure dope!

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@jsilence418 I'd still like to know how you got to this page in the first place, but you're not giving that away, so I'll just guess you're a fan of Uriah Heep with a strange way of relating to others who are mostly fans on this page. You also haven't said WHY you think they're a bad band. I'm sure on spotting your dorky comments, some other UH fans might like to speak to you....

[jsilence418]

@IThinkYouLookLarvely is there anything sadder than an apologist for a bad band lol who doesn't have a life ( or good taste) here! um I would guess you?

[SLASHdaROCKER]

@jsilence418 I honestly don't see the point of this argument. You two have gone backwards and forwards and yet have reached nothing. UH is an amazing band with amazing musicians and albums, as Rush. You must be a fan of UH, in which case, why are you trashing them? If you're not a fan, then why are you on this video? You must be one of those, which is it? And anyway, why are you trashing them? Don't you agree that it would be more worth while trashing a shit band from nowadays?

[jsilence418]

@SLASHdaROCKER Since your question is sincere, Youtube encorages comments correct? what is the point on commenting only on what you know and like? tell me ? I offered an opinion that differed from some one else ! the only negative part was as you have implied , why prolong it into an arguement. I have stopped responding, as my point has been made and Yes there are worse bands than Uriah Heep !

[SLASHdaROCKER]

@jsilence418 well, it seems a bit pointless to take time out to search and comment on a video you don't like. But you make a more than valid point, you offered your opinion and I should respect it as such. I was merely curious as to why you demonstrated your affection to UH in such a peculiar way. That's all I really wanted to know, I was not in the mood to prolong an argument.

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@SLASHdaROCKER I personally don't think jsilence has made a good comment. He hasn't answered any questions properly we put to him to justify his comments, or made his point as he claims! At the risk of sounding childish, he started by jumping on me (with name-calling) for comparing them to Rush, like I'd kicked his dog. Also, different to his claim, I'd actually stopped responding to the old troll first. Like you, I can't understand people who waste time on videos of stuff they hate.

[lamentoinca]

what a bass player - my maestro

[jimi44thousand]

@lamentoinca A kiwi too!!!!

[uriahheep52]

Absolutly great.......40 Jahre Uriah Heep......Thank

[guerrema]

Mick Box rules!!!!!

[fbendz]

[deviando]

[konge1]

[ohisashiburi]

Best lineup!

[ardnity]

thanks so much for this post. One of the best rock lineups of all time. I miss David Byrons lyrics and vocals.

[Moshanya]

Not only you. Me too,

[BluesLvr09]

I agree stomp, my heartfelt appreciation for those that post the songs and videos. I saw Kiss open for the Heep in '75 ..... as I like to say who the fuck was kiss?

[stomp919]

Why did it take 30 something years for me to see this video? I would have loved to have seen Heep as a lil kid. I did catch them on Don Kirshners rock concert once back in the day. What a shame...Youtube is the only source ive found for old rare rock perfomances for that i am grateful!

[originaltbyrd]

Gary Thain is my favorite bass player of all time.

[finboy93]

Gary Thain is very good bass player, i like him very much too, but his not at my top favorites. Anyway very good bass player

[Volvo745T]

@originaltbyrd - Gary's playing really reminds me of Steve Harris, I wonder if Steve was influenced by Gary? And ******* heroin has taken WAY too many good musicians.

[countdumas]

@originaltbyrd great holistic bands are--GONG, MOTHER GONG, MAGMA, APHRODITIES CHILD, EAT STATIC, SYSTEM 7, LISA GERRARD, DEAD CAN DANCE, LARRY CORYELL, KAZUMI WATANABE, STOMU YAMASHTA, PATRICK BERNARD, LOST AT LAST, MELTING EUPHORIA, OZRIC TENTACLES, JADE WARRIOR, SPHONGLE, STEVE TIBBETTS, OREGON, SHAKTI, TONINHO HORTA, EGBERTO GISMONTI, BILL LASWELL, MAGICAL POWER MAKO, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE, GODESS T, ACID MOTHERS GONG.

[taziot1]

@originaltbyrd

[robiandolo]

@originaltbyrd He played in rainbow with blackmore.

[FreddMunster]

@originaltbyrd Fuck Yeah!!!

[phiphi64]

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. This line up is 100% emotion! Love it!

[musichead1956]

Thanks for sharing this classic Heep lineup. Byron, Hensley, Box, Thain. Kerslake.....it just doesn't get any better than this! A huge part of my musical upbringing, and I miss them to this day.

[luckyforsome56]

Makes me feel 15 again.......so long ago...Loved this group

[lsdmadman]

dayemmm wotta bass....dood ruled

[za875]

Uriah Heep kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the posting!

[charlieb640]

God I miss these guys

[djdjany]

Gary Thain: The sweetest bass player in rock history.

Simply the best.

[diomaidendays]

I agree, other easy livin' versions sounds weird because no one can play the bass like him. uriah heep first formation was the best of all

[NeilThompson30]

What - with Ollie on the drums?

[diomaidendays]

Yes, the first UH line was awesome, uriah heep (very eavy' very umble) , salisbury, look at yourself, demons and wizards and magician's birthday were works made during this line up.

[NeilThompson30]

The first five albums are my faves too - especially The Magician's birthday.

The line up on this video is from 72 (Kerslake joined Nov 71 and Thain joined Feb 72)

The first album that this line up made was Demons and Wizards - they went through several bassisists and drummers on the first 3 albums -

Bass - Paul Newton was on the first 3 (Mark Clark had joined at the same time as Kerslake but didn't record with them)

Drums - Ollie (Nigel) Olsson (1st album), Keith Baker (2nd), Iain Clark (3rd).

[tihiyomut]

Великая песня, Великого Дэвида Байрона!Такими не становятся, такими рождаются! Вечного тебе Дэйв, июльского утра на небесах!!!

[bassandguitarguy]

Gary Thain died on this day 12-08-08 in 1975 at age 27. So play your Uriah Heep LP's or CD's that he played on today!

[candelario58]

eso fue en el 72 cuando los demas especulaban , huriah heep arañaba las estrellas

[krympl1]

one of the greatest bands ever i think, still

rockin´ but ofcourse the BYRON era was outstanding!!!

Saw them both -73 -74 in stockholm SWE.

Does anyone have something maybee from DAVIDs

short solo period? or with "rough diamond" ?

Well people now i think i gonna watch an UH

dvd....

[SeetherSnob]

wow. memories!! amazing. THIS is rock. Miss it! Many thanks for sharing this.

[heepfan08]

this was David Byron at his best,I went to see U/H the first time in Dusseldorf march 72,and Gary Thain was fantastic too

[morassi43]

Happy birthday Gary, I miss you:((

[stupididiot13]

who came first freddie or david?...with that haircut?...

[kocisko]

COME BACK DAVID AND GARY !!!!!

We are missing you (Whereever you are)...

[groundhog713]

David Byron died in 1985, 10 years after Gary. The band was never the same after he left, and I avoid the post-David Byron LPs like the plauge.....

[dkurtz123]

thanks. i was 12 years old in 72 and into heep thanks in part to older brothers and sisters. i hooked onto them and didn't let go till 76 or so. my favorite band. not many of my friends listened to them. i turned many of them on to the band after one too many bong loads in our basement. i would have loved to have seen this back in the day. man, it brings back memories of old girlfriends{hey patti} and many good times.whoever posted this is my hero for the day!

[colin803]

i also heard this live many times...heep always sounded better live...but yea after byron was sacked that was sadly the end of the road...

[jujumontauban]

Amazing!!!

But where do you find all thes materials, guys?!

Here in France, we can find bullshits from this dumby Celine Dion, but nothing on band like UH or Deep Purple. Hail to England and his creativity. Thank you for the bests bands created ever. Thank U Albion from a froggy.

[mullah06]

I don't know what to say, but I'm sorry, all this violent sexist racist anti-fascist anti-marxist stuff is alive and well in the USA, (well at least until the Obamabots take over). Look to the USA, we'll be here!!!

[jerrikj]

Very interesting version-I saw only montage from "UH-D.BYRON era".This is full song.Thanks from UH fan.

[TheWholigans]

I saw heep at least 10-15 times from day one through 1990 and various versions.

The Byron years were the best imo.

[Loijaa]

Marvelous! Thank you for this! Just fantastic.

[Desdinova1428]

Great Stuff!!!!
