Bands I really Loved: Uriah Heep

All Video Courtesy of Youtube.

Uriah Heep! What can one say?, first Album 1970 , Album number 24, 2015!

Some call their Music Heavy Metal , Others Progressive Rock, who cares, they are Great Anyway!

You Decide?

There have been so many lineup changes , it makes your head spin, the only constant has been Mick Box , the Lead Guitarist

Started in 1969 and still going, amazing !

David Byron , The Original Singer had a very Operatic Style of Singing, and incredible Range.

What is very interesting about their arrangements , is the way that the Keyboards are often used to harmonise with the Vocals!

I always liked them but when the Album "Look at Yourself "came out in 1973 , I was dumbstruck , it was just so Hot!

In 1995 They did a Tour of South Africa, with Deep Purple ( Steve Morse on Guitar).

Local Band Jackhammer opened , then Heep and lastly Purple.

My two Son's went with me, Geils's first Concert, Open Air at the Rand Show Grounds near Soweto.

When Geils heard Jackhammer , he asked me, " Can the Overseas Bands really be better than this?" , I said wait, I think he
understood? He was absolutely stunned ( Geils is no slouch on Guitar himself!)

For your enjoyment ( and to prove your endurance) , I have , below given you a full concert in 1973 and another in 2015!

Hope you enjoy these , and find out why this Band have lasted so long!
