  • I was kind of bummed out when they didn't do this song when I saw them at the Masonic Temple in Spokane, in 1994, with Blue Öyster Cult.

  • Wow! that Bernie fellow can hit all the high notes. Really a perfect singer for Heep. I do miss Hensley's vocals though. Not only the main song writer back in the heyday, he was also the other voice of Heep. Is he still able to sing, does anyone know?

  • @wardka If you watch carefully, you can see Ken still adding a few background vocals here and there in this vid. Go check his website: He's still "out there" doing shows and making albums.  ken-hensleydotcom.

  • @wardka There's a case to be made that Hensley's songwriting (and insistence on being involved in ALL the songwriting) dragged them away from the successful formula that launched them into stardom (heavy progressive rock with fantasy themed lyrics) to the one that nearly rendered them completely irrelevant in the mid-to-late 70's (heavy focus on pop sensibilities). Personally, I prefer the Heep from 1970-72 over anything from Wonderworld on through until Hensley (thankfully) quit in 1980.

  • Incredible.40 years later that they sound even better. Mick Box was our guitar hero god at 12 East Walnut Street, Harrisburg, IL, USA, 1976. Hurd Brothers Band. Magician's Birthday Indeed!

  • One of my favourite guitar solos of all time.. Mick Box still has chops to spare.

    And Lee Kerslake.. Surely one of the most underrated drummers of all time.

    Not by us Heep fans mind you.. We know how good he is. ;)

  • @retroclipps Any chance I can give at least six thumbs up for retroclipps' comment?

    startover942 11 months ago

  • David Gilmore is best guitarist of all time. However Mick Box, Jimmy Page, Brain May, Mark Knofler, Al di Meola, Jimi Hendrix and J.J Cale are all equal second in my opinion.

    SnowyCamel 11 months ago

  • im only 28, but i have to say, Heep is one of the best groups ive ever known. Even Purple and Floyd. But this Solopart rocks man!!!! like it! 128 db and open the windows!!!!!

  • Many bands have lost the fire in their bellies needed to properly play music they wrote thirty years ago. Not so with Uriah Heep. This is a great rendition of Magician's Birthday. They made time stand still with this one! : )

  • I still remember when I bought the record and I talked about it on my birthday party they were disappointed because "easy living" was not on it!

    The colors of the album were quite interesting because they seemed to move!

  • You mean they didn't move? Oh man.

  • This moment is awesome and unforgetable. Bernie plays the "Magician" and Lawton appears to play the "Demon". Uriah Heep really really rocks! Hail, from Brazil.

  • Is it Ken Hensley that enters and starts to sing at 8:00?

    erlendskar 2 years ago

  • I'll check; regardless, the Heep is so good!

    startover942 2 years ago

  • No no no. It's Mr. John Lawton who sings on Heep's Firefly, Innocent Victim, Fallen Angel and Live in Europe 1979 albums. Ken Hensley is the guy who's playing Telecaster guitar on the right side of the stage and then moves to play Hammond organ.

  • That,s a fantastic top of the rock number.

    I have to mention that in the good old days, back in the 70'ties with David Byron & Gary Thain it was my daily medicine from morning to night.

    They were a real legendary band, no doubt.

    Thanks for sharing this..
