  • 1974 was a good summer for me. In June, I saw a new band from Chicago called Styx, who opened up for The Edgar Winter Group. Then in July, it was Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann. Then in August it was Crosby, Stills Nash and Young at Tampa Stadium with Jesse Collin Young.

  • God damn just fantastic.

  • like the above.not god . I am 57 and still rock to this type of music friday and weekends it will live forever, the so called music of today its very roots are this music.be it rap trap and what ever its expression we did it your doing it but ours will last longer it affects you kids even 30 years on luv U all keep on RoCKIN

  • The Hippie Days..nothing like it now..what a waste, i guess time waits for noone.Its blessed to be in those era. How i wish..........

  • Saw these guys live in 82, seems sooo long ago

  • I'm 55 years old , the deep memories this song --- ooh very very exiting , halo Ponorogo remember this song , or where my friend Haniman Siregar

  • Gary thain, the best bassplayer of all time!!

  • I'm a Deep Purple supporter of 37 years, and am just getting into Uriah Heep now! This song and Salisbury are fantastic. Must say that Firefly is great, too, especially the title track. Any advice where to head next with the Byron years? Cheers. :)

  • @GreenerHill My Advice to you : 1. Demons and wizards all tittles 2. The Magicians Birthday 3.Sweet Freedom 4.Wake up set your sights  lots of fun with hearing this great music.

  • @GreenerHill , follow david to his ROUGH DIAMOND era, same fantastic voice, but his own feel on things. still very good. luv him to bits, oh by the way i also like similar to Thicklizzie, being another female heavy fan, Saw U.H. in Brighton last december, was up on the stage giving it some hairy, not bad for a grandmother, eh!, got to keep the side up. Also you could follow Ken Hensley, i do believe he is still performing, can't keep a good musician down..luv to all marz xxx

  • magic !!!!!!!!!

  • there is a big improvement over the 70's- Youtube. I remember spending a fortune on albums so I could listen to the other songs not played on the radio. Yeah I had a turntable that looked like a suitcase and had music blasting out the windows in college

  • Good Stuff! Under rated band. Never has gotten the credit they deserve for the emergence of the metal sound.

  • My Birthday is on July 2nd and this is played LOUD every year as it has been since the first time I heard it......best times of my life revolved around this type of music!

  • Ох! Dobre Panie!

  • - Спасиба!

  •  A Memory To David Byron! Great singer ever!

  • @lazarstrimbei he would have been 65 this week

  • een mijlpaal uit de sex & drugs & rocknroll tijd

  • I want this video on my T100 unit.

  • They Just don't write songs like this any more...

  • Fantastic bass player as well superb music from another era !

  • But he eats the Centipede"..LoL. Grow up will you?!>? Learn how to appreciate..otherwise you

    loze your Grip.

  • david byron live on forever and ever voice, showmanship,massive talent rock on too bad there wasn't more.ps those were the days

  • always has been my fav singer of all time and the BAND AWESOME

  • ...auch wenn der Sound grottenschlecht ist, ist David Byron auch mit diesem Lied unsterblich geworden, dazu noch "Come away Melinda" und"The Wizard", sowie "Easy livin...".... für mich hat Uriah Heep mit Davids Tod aufgehört zu existieren. Ich habe UH damals live (Münster) erleben dürfen, ein für mich absolut prägendes Erlebnis/Ereignis! Viel Spaß mit dieser genialen Musik und Stimme! VG Bernd

  • @BerndKlein55

    100%ige Zustimmung mir geht es ebenfalls so. Mit Dave Byrons Ausstieg und späteren Tod war UH nie mehr das, was es zuvor war. Seine Stimme war die Seele der Band.

  • @BerndKlein55 , hi Bernd, i lived in Munster in 1972, i lived in Sudermann strasse, Westfalen, as my parents were with the British army, i take it you miss David Byrons vocals, just as much as me, did you see them in the Munster Halleland, i saw many bands there when i lived there, i do miss not living there, as it was a time of my life when i was growing up and enjoyed myself, going through to Holland, camping with friends, with plenty of drink and good sound, good friends,

  • Причем здесь David Byron?

  • @VADIM130670 Sorry-DAVID BYRON byl solist Uriah Heep!

  • es como planear en esos tiempos,que con esta musica me entierren

  • Кто эти 19, которым не понравилось?

  • I am 51 and until now I listening this band from my chilhood.never be once more the same.!!!!!!

  • never gets old

    

  • Should`ve been one of the biggest bands on the planet..still one of the best out there today,bless `em...!!

  • I am 60ty i remember David  Byron's voice!thaks!

  • Havent heard this one in years...used to play it with my high school band at the dances.

  • it is true. he has been there... on that morning of july... and he left... and he 'll never came back.

  • @sudyma , sadly yes, i will never recover. i am like a sad teenager with an infatuation that i can never resolve, miss David soo much. luv to all marz xxx

  • such a great band......... and without out the shit video effects todays bands seem to need to justify their existence

  • this is the one,unique URIAH HEEP. i love this guys,my god!

  • wow...

  • Where have all those years gone! The greatest song ever! Says a Heepster!

  • @TheJanisjoplin58, if you ever, I mean ever, find a way back I'll ride shotgun with you. Memories are what think about when we no longer keep making them. Don't let that happen!

  • @nero044 , your'e on...... luv to all marz.xxx

  • English Only Spicks!

  • steve is gary thain and david byrons grand ma bitch

  • so miss Gary Thain and David Byron

  • que lastima que no existen videos del grupo KING KONG o del SUPER MARIACHY alla en MEXICALI B.C. antes de 1980

  • Uriah Heep was a fantastic band! I really miss this stuff!..Most music is Shite today!

  • @MrZee1967 Well, they are still playing. So visit a concert.

  • @7nevyn7

    However, David and Gary aren't around anymore. Not the same thing.

  • I'm 59, now; came up listening to the greats of rock, Janis, Jimi, Cream, Zep, Uriah Heep, Yes, Tull, etc. The Southern Rock bands, even the Glam an Hair bands. The "stuff" out there now can't hold a candle to it! My kids grew up with it, too, and still love it! Good rock, played loud, like it should be!...and cold beer!!!!

  • @stera52 hear, hear, i agree with you entirely, would add a few bands to your collection, such as cat stevens, deep purple, santana, bowie, janis, otherwise we are like minded,i find it very hard to get over david's passing, i will be choosing something like this for my music for when i depart this world, i certainly wouldn't leave that to my family, as they don't know what it is to have experienced the best years of music. luv to all xxx from the uk.

  • @stera52 , Im 61 now but I know what you saying I also grew up with some of the greatest bands that ever play, like you said nothing holds up or compares to this period I miss it so much, but it llives on in their music let keep their music alive, long live Woodstock the greatest rock concert in history

  • @stera52 My thoughts exactly

    

  • @stera52 I was/am the same, started at a college gig when Tull and Zepp appeared live at a Rag Ball, totally mind blowing especially Ian Anderson like the Pied Piper of Hameln on speed. Talk about shock and awe to a 17yo kid it was for me like finding the yellow brick road. Still play this type of music now and always will. Maybe why I am half deaf ;)

  • @stera52 Nothing compares to those guys now! Those were THE BEST of times!

  • una cancion de uriah heep de las que mas me gusta

  • am 53 now, living in England, still love UH, have followed David Byron to his follow up band Rough Diamond, am very impressed with it, love his favourite "scared", worth a listen folks, still love all the usual, led zep, jimi, janis, cream, deep purple, these bands are hard to beat in this day and age, still listen to these bands as they are the best all rounders and have the right sound for me personally, quite like subo's wild horses, believe it or not, good version. luv to all marz xxx

  • Un tema REVOLUCIONARIO

  • WHAT A BAND.happy times....boy bands eat ur heart out.

  • @pogie516744 well bleedin said long live heep

  • Why is so slow?

  • Why so slow?

  • maailma kõige ilusam laul

  • dont forget gary thain

  • @kpaulh Gary Thain the bassist that cant keep his fingers steady on chords. Always roaming around. I love his playing in Sweet Lorraine live 1972 album.

  • This must be of slow motion?

  • uriah heep in concert, in the UK at last!!!!, get your tickets now!!!, before they are all gone!!!!, see you there.... luv to all xxx

  • Drugs kill.

  • There i was on a july morning i was looking for love with the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun And at the sound of the first bird singing i was leaving for home with the storm and the night behind me yeah, and a road of my own
  • Ken Hensley & David Byron, never back, I miss.

  • @LauriHMr Hensley's still making music isn't he? Just not with Uriah Heep. Both he and the current band's incarnation are still great.

  • @LauriHMr is hensley dead? :O

  • @hovogliadileggere Never again together, but of course Hensley lives.

  • @LauriHMr ah ok. hi

  • I would have loved to have heard David Byron sing live - sadly he died about the time I discovered Uriah Heep. At the time, I didn't know he had died - I only just recently found out when I rediscovered the band - and I'm devastated. His voice gives me great pleasure.

  • @elerownat

    He reminds me of Dio when he was with Rainbow.

    Both killer vocalists.

  • @elerownat , yes i know how it feels, i've only been back into UH this past year, and i was gutted to find out that David and Gary had both passed on, can't quite get to grips with it, my favourite at the moment is "Rain", which reduces me to tears, i will have this as my funeral song, (though i don't want to think about that yet, as i am only 53 years young), saw UH in december, got up on stage to dance (call it dancing!), but it was great!. made me feel young again. luv to all, marz

  • Ce muzica, ce timpuri...!!! Pline de grandoare !!!

  • There I was on a July morning looking for love. With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun. At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home. With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own. With the day came the resolution I’ll be looking for you. I was looking for love in the strangest places. There wasn’t a stone that I left unturned. I must have tried more than a thousand faces,

  • Only 533816 viwes ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WTF is going on this world today and who are these guys who dislike these rock GODS and this unbelievable song?!??!?!??!?!

  • rest in peace David Byron

  • * * * * *

  • good for you, goc, being only 16, i also found uriah heep around this age, now i am 52 and still an avid fan, please listen to "come away malinda", this is the best version of this song you will ever hear, with the voice of david byron, (wear headphones), i miss david's vocals, there's no match nowadays, though bernie is close, luv to all xxxx

  • countdumas, good on your dad, he didn't know he was making history with someone so awesome as janis(see monteray festival 67, ball and chain), but you lost me me with edmond dantes and the black pope of monte cristo, what has that got to do with janis?..luv to all xxx

  • I grew up on great bands like this. I did get to see them right after the new singer. May 6th 1977 at Memorial Hall ks. Opening act was Foreigner..Uriah Heep blew em off the stage. Made Foreigner look just like what they were at the time,, sloppy garage band.

    Yeah they got better but Uriah Heep was on fire that night. oh and it only cost around 6 or 7 dollars.

  • @gtr1960 I got to see them later that year in August of 1977 in Essingen, Germany. They did an outdoor concert that day with Ted Nugent, Manfred Mann and Aerosmith. It was awesome.

  • happy july heepsters, so you didn't make it to bulgaria either, well i will be there next july 1st, to watch the sunrise to this cracking song, which is so well covered, the next best thing is to watch it on you tube. luv to all xxx

  • @TheJanisjoplin58 My dad ate hash brownies with Janis Joplin in the sixties. Edmond Dantes is the black pope. The black pope is The Count of Monte Christo and he is also known as The Count of Monte Christo(General of The Jesuits). Alexandre Dumas wrote over 400 historical novels exposing world tyranny(Roman Catholic Empire). The Society of Jesus(Jesuits) have been expelled from 83 countries and their pope is ARAMIS.

  • It is July. Enjoy.

  • Where is the beautiful keyboard solo?? THat is one of the highlights of this song for me

  • @saeidmomtahan AND ME.......... I PLAY ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL TRACK CONSTANTLY AND I LOVE THAT PART

  • Once in the gym, a buddy was telling me that his brother could play anything on the guitar. Blackmore was good, Angus Young was shit, Tony Iommy was shit, Hendrix was somewhat ok etc...

    I just asked him how many girls got wet every time his brother was playing the guitar and he still scratches his head.

    I hope some people in here understand what playing the guitar is and why they are not in the video but under it in the comments section.......

  • theres nothing wrong with Mick Box, hes an ok guitar player. he does what he says on the tin. 

  • Как же сцуко распирает тут Байрона))))

  • Ahh.. I know its only June, but I've been locked in this computer cave of mine surfing through the net, then I listened to this song, and looked at the time. Its 5:50am. A take a step outside, breath in the pure fresh morning air, take a piss, go back inside, continue this song. BEST FEELING EVER, man. rockers really need to be inspired by people like Uriah Heep, Music would take a good turn. And just because adults usually shit themselves then a kid listens to good music, I'll mention I'm 16.

  • @GuyOnChair good for you,GOC. if you want to be a great rock and roll bassist, just focus in on gary thain's playing on all these old cuts. he was easily one of the best ever, but not well known like people like geddy lee.

  • One of THE greatest rock songs ever. Despite the poor sound quality, fantastic

  • i saw em in the 70's. excellent band. Beats the hell out of anything out there now. I was really lucky to have been when I was. They still had real music and musicians. Instead of software and ghetto negros that never had an original idea in their lives.

  • David Byron .... allright... !! good job ... !

  • Jim Morison? No...David Byron!

  • krótka piłka w temacie - zajebistość !

  • 3:16 Jesus Christ!!!

  • да они все тут похоже надутые или поддатые

    темп в полтора раза замедлили

  • Comment removed

  • I danced my first dance with a girl on this. What else ? She didn't want to dance with me on next slow

  • i saw uriah heep in halle munsterland in germany in 1972, they blew me away then and they still blow me away, i just love this particular track, it holds so much emotion, i wish i was back there again, times were so much more enjoyable with no restrictions, taking a long weekend in holland, camping with a few crates of beer and uriah heep, led zep, deep purple, jimi hendrix, and the unforgetable janis joplin to listen to, it was total freedom, oh memories are such wonderful things. luv to all.

  • @TheJanisjoplin58 really? you are a lucky man...

  •  or lucky woman....

  • @TheJanisjoplin58 You did express my feelings completely. It was the best of all times then.

  • @TheJanisjoplin58

    We, who are in the ripe age now, were the lucky ones. No kid of these days can ever feel that kind of freedom we felt and none of them will ever be that free and wild. They may have computers and iPhones but we were wild at heart and had that speacial kind of lifestyle and were happy even with no money in our pocket of non-designer clothes. I pity them.

  • @Thicklizzie Very well put - there were no cell phones, just carrying around those big radios & blasting good radio stations that played so much - Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Dave Mason, Johnnie Winter, Edgar Winter, Poco, Marshall Tucker Band, ELP, YES, Foghat, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Queen, etc..etc....

  • @wonderlin1

    yeah, no cell phones! That means we had loads of time for conversation witout interruption. No facebook means: we met physically, looked each other straight in the eye and the heart, talking about things that would not go public. We hadn't much, but we shared the few things we had with friends + strangers. And we had friends who deserve that name. Nowadays they have 200 facebook-"friends", but who will be there for them, when they need emotional or physical help?

  • @wonderlin1

    ... and top of all: we had so much wonderful music. Lot of it was really new. Bands in the 70's had their own style. They want to share their music, emotions, their point of view with us - the box office chart came in the second row. Of course they wanted to make money and get famous but not like today. Their music often had a deeper meaning or were very critical. People like Bob Dylan or Cat Stevens today would have barely a chance. I'll keep the 70's in my heart 'til I die

  • @Thicklizzie What a GAS it was! And is. I must say.  Don't forget the ones who are still here. Remember when "Centipede" hit the stacks?

  • @Thicklizzie that is so true. I often wonders, what on earth did happen. Why is everything so grey now. Where is the social life we had.

    It may sound silly now but at that time we taught we where at the dawn of a new age, with freedom and peace for all. But the world fel asleep.......

  • @Thicklizzie wow a female uriah heep fan!

  • @manilaron

    and she also likes Deep Purple, Rolling Stones, Status Quo, Nazareth, Golden Earring, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, Ultravox, foreigner, BTO, Dire Straits, Streetmark, Styx, APP, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Queen, Saga, Springsteen, Witt etc. etc. ;-)

  • @Thicklizzie What's amazing is that this and other music, the stage act, the way that they dressed, even the way they wore their hair were nothing like what had come before. Imagine if you were a record exec from the 1950s, and this stuff started popping up on your desk in the mid-late 1960s. What the devil would you think of it all? Today, there's really nothing new musically, and it's all been done before.

  • @Thicklizzie

    Lol, compared to you i might be a kid, but i am from both worlds.

    On who'se the pitty now :)

  • @Thicklizzie Sure...You know,I was born in 1980,but I'd have liked to be born in 1950...:(

  • Welcome 2 Kabardey! :-)

  • This is my #1 summer song ever!!!

  • Дык, Байрон-то пьян : по второму разу запевает "There I was on a July Morning...", забыв про "I was looking for love in the strangest places.."

  • one of those links which come up posted to sweet freedom and looking at yoursellf; free with your feet in the wishing well of Love [and a peaceful World -]

  • it never be happened in 72.. i cant believe

  • Ah no, 1971.

  • Filmed in 1972? I think it was written in 1973.

  • Too bad the sound quality is so poor. One should think it could be much better when you look at the image quality

  • Too bad the sound quality is so poor

  • greates song..

  • galing puro sila mga sabog hahahah

    

  • One of the best intros ever!

  • head bangin' '72 style.

    judas priest sucks

  • Best wha of the Rock and Roll History

  • Uriah Heep Best song

    

  • No H the name of this band was named after a character named Uriah Heep from the novel/ motion picture entitled .....'David Copperfield'...

    It is a classic...watch the old b and w movie from the 30s/40s....classic..Heep is a bastard in the movie,as i recall....

  • 32 seonds in to 1.00 is magic.

    thank you , mick.

  • with Byron Hansly only

  • Tipton! Downing! Hacks! You sir (and the peeps who voted you up) are really quite silly, and it is you who will be hurtified.

  • adik grabe!!

  • RIP David & Gary One Of The Best Singers in Rock and One Of The Best Bassists

  • Great under rated band!!!!!!! R.I.P Byron

  • круто

  • Byron rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Heep reminds me a mixture of the guitar of Wishbone Ash, the vocals of Head East, and the organ of Deep Purple

  • Portugal presente! Uriah Heep! AMO e relembro este grupo da minha juventude, com grande saudade e respeito. :)

    Portugal gift! Uriah Heep! LOVE this group and reminisce of my youth with great nostalgia and respect. :)

  • damn, j. i looked at your channel, and you seem to have what i would consider a tasty musical palate. why are you so anti mick? do you think keef is all that? at least mick is original. keef, in all his hypocrytical glory, stole most of his shit. do your homework.

  • @edslides1 I always thought Gary Thain was a better musician than mick box so sue me!

  • Comment removed

  • i think the sublime beauty of mick box is that your average bedroom band (guitarist) could play his stuff. (NOT a jab, mick) not technically difficult, and thank god for small favors. the man knew his git. and still, 40 years later, he is relevant.

    "its the notes you DONT play"

    muddy waters

  • @edslides1 I agree with you. Just realised how much of a troll jsilence is, having "spoken" to him on the "Uriah Heep - Live in Bijou Theater 1972 (part 1)" page. He must have plenty of time spare to watch UH who he hates, which I still don't get. He keeps saying the same things e.g.,"You're stupid for liking different music to me". This man is old enough to remember when Blinded By The Light was released (probably 40 or well over) so should know a lot better. I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

  • 4:28 HAHAHa YES!
