uriah heep's original bassist was killed in an IRA bomb outside ofManchester. it is generally understood he was actually a volunteer and the bomb exploded prematurely. who knows
Mate saw them in Australia in 1974 have them on vinyl and from Umble to Wonderworld,I am a real fan and a purist not interested in cabaret acts impersonations fuckwit,Its like having mountain without Leslie West,or you must love the women in Fleetwood Mac with Buckinham while I have passion only for Peter Greens Fleetwood.Hve a good listen to this trash poor man Uriah ,I am the real fan and never sell out,even Hensley pissed them off .
This is the Eurovision b grade Uriah Heep,he is a poor man's tom jones with a falsetto,no David no Uriah period.This period would not make it in my collection
бриллиантовый голос великолепно держится на сцене таких исполнителей можно пересчитать по пальцам и в жизни очень хороший правильный человек не дальновидный был байрон который в далёком 1979 распрощался с лоутоном с таким певцом деньги гребли бы экскаваторами

The voice of Lawton is perfect, but he haven't invisible charisma, like Byron.... Nevertheless, Sympathy is one of their best song during the post-Byron period.
these are on of the deepest lyrics i've ever heard... how many times you hear someone dissing sympathy and compassion. They deal with many philosophic problems here. It's sounds like Nietzsche in a song.
Simply, just awsome. I can understand 880 likes, I can also understand 17 not making the effort to like it but, I can't understand 17 dislikes. Harsh for a song of this calibre.
wow......im pretty hard core rocker Ive seen led zep, rush, pink floyd, U2, neil young, black sabbath, ozzy, csn, tom petty, black crows , cars, bon jovi, nervanna, pearl jam, beastie boys, blue oyster cult, kinks, alice cooper, roger waters, bob dylan, sting, van halen, bad co, eric clapton, rolling stones, cherl crow, and more that I just cant remember,..........but I do not know one song by uriah heep........wow I guess i missed the bus...........
was never a big fan of Heep...and to be honest...nuthin has changed there..but...they paved the way for many more bands to come...and they deserve respect for that...
ummmm...guys? Mick, Lee, Trevor? This guy suffers from the worst case of male pattern baldness of a rockstar wannabe who should spend time looking at a mirror. No amount of eyeliner can cover up this uncoolness.
it is a rare point of lirical poetry ever. the true lovers will understand.the words is in controversion to the desperately drive melody.so the man is trying to convince herself and others that it is all over but is desperately NOT. to create this kind of song -to try unchain the heart.usually songs in such style has been created after some period of time to ease the feelings.but this is not the case.the heart is open and we see it beating nervously.it is a masterpiece.John Lawton FOREVER.
Hmm . . for decades I thought I wouldn't like the post-Byron albums, but this sounds a lot like classic Uriah Heep to me. Actually so does "Wake the Sleeper" which I have recently acquired.
Holy smokes! I am a longtime Uriah fan but have never heard this and it just blew me away. On a side not I was born a week after this was aired. Coincidence? maybe.
What is it with the young people today and their obsession with everything but looking like a nigger with being gay.The 1970s were a great time and when you turn the radio on what music still dominates the airways...1970s.Npopvic1 keep your looking gay comments to your self.
@elephanta2 ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE WROTE OVER 400 HISTORICAL NOVELS EXPOSING WORLD TYRANNY(ROMAN Catholic empire). in his own words his first purpose in writing was to instruct and then to amuse. He was an historian acting through the medium of novelist.
Amazing band. One of favourite from 1976 till now. This is just a perfect piece, as almost all of their music. John Lawton is an exceptional singer, the 2nd best ever, but I prefer David.
I was not born in the years that this song came out,nor have I ever listened to it before,but I can surely say that this is ONE OF THE GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN AND PERFORMED! IT,IT'S JUST MIND-BLOWINGLY AWESOME AND UNDESCRIBABLY GOOD!
Sneaked a camera into the B'ham Odeon for Heep on the Firefly tour, with this line up. Anybody want three pictures of the back of someone's head? Actually, there is a good one of John Lawton. Great gig, great band. Support was from Woody Woodmansey's U-Boat. 'A Year Or A Day' from' Return To Fantasy ' is by far Heep's best song. Anyone agree?
To me Uriah Heep are real symbol of the 70s. Those who lived in that time woud sure understand me. And this song is great, and as all great music, will never go out of style....
Musicianship ? uriah heep? hmm never heard that word used in conjunction with thsir name, tell the front man to wash off the silly make up, and put a shirt on !
поет Лоутон , конечно же , бесподобно, но я еще хочу восхититься игрой остальных участников группы! Столько времени прошло. а их музыка. оранжировка и исполнение все так же поражают своим богатством и совершенством! я их просто обожаю! Как жаль, что все в жизни проходит. . . .
Love Lawton's voice. What I don't like is the disco lights and checkout Lee's drumming. He is NOT into playback. Reminds me of Keith Moon "live" performances.
