One of the greatest rock bands on the Earth. My first concert was August 14th 1974. I was in 8th grade. My buddy John was a Gary Thain freak. The opening band was 3 guys from Canada.... They didn't even turn the lights down for them.... Who knew..... Next up.... Manfred Mann...... And the headliner.......the awesome Uriah Heep. When they hit the stage..... The roof of the Civic Arena opened up......And at that moment..... A memory was created that will last 1000 lifetimes.... Rock on people

RIP Ken Hensley, who I heard died today. I found out this sad fact as I looked up these lads in response to seeing this video online, after a man I know with the surname "Lorraine" was elected to local office. Funny how these algorithms work. Lovely man and artist, Ken Hensley. This particular number was played at too fast a tempo in my opinion. But that doesn't take anything seriously away from the Heep legacy.

He was the other voice of Heep, a fine singer in his own right and a fantastic song writer and bottle neck guitarist. (I always wanted his hair!) I saw parts of his reunion with Heep, but he did not sing. I hope his voice is okay. Can anyone recommend his latter day albums, The Last Dance or Cold Autumn Sunday?

From what I read the band's record sales were down, problems with management, and inner turmoils with the band. And David couldn't cope with it and found "solace in the bottle ". The band didn't seem to mind when there was no shows but you start to get drunk before going on and of course performances were affected by that. Sadly Ken gave the ultimatum either he goes or I go. Gerry Bron has said it was a very hard dilemma but they made a decision and he has said it was a very poor decision.

knowing a very special person whose name is Lorraine, this song got my atttention to "Uriah Heep' and "Magician's Birthday albumn. Someone needs to fire the tech, David Byron's voice is fantastic, so why does his mic suck! It isn't raining! Kenslake's drum's merge into a single sound, amazing and ferocious temp with the cymbol/drum melody. Ken Hensly's signature synthisieer is otherworldly awesome! and anyone that says different doesn't know music.

At around two minutes, the roadie runs out and adjusts the mike in front of the amps. After that point, the audio sounds clearer. The mike must have been moved/kicked earlier which could account for the uneven mix at the start.

René Dehue We'll just have to disagree on that. Wetton's playing in King Crimson was ground breaking. Not at the Jeff Berlin or Jaco level, but he covered a lot of ground, was very dynamic and successfully took on more challenging music. If you want to hear Wetton at his best, listen to Starless and Bible Black (especially side two). That said, I learned a lot from Thain too. He was kinda the Jaco of rock. Of the straight ahead rock bands, he was far and away the most skilled bassist.

There are many great bass players, but Gary was super special whatever he did it was driving, melodic, had a certain sense of timing, and fit the music perfectly. Up to now nobody could replace him. If I was Mick I wouldn't let anyone in the band unless they learned Gary's parts note-for-note without that the music that we know loses it's magic. Again, nothing against other great bass players, but it's like singing different words, and melodies for a well known song. It wouldn't fly. Gary's notes are the melody and words all in one.

To be fair to Wetton, after dealing with Robert Fripp for several years he probably just wanted to have some fun. Too bad that the only other musician on the stage who seems to want to interact with him is Byron; Ken Hensley's expression is just poisonous throughout this, and Mick Box looks like he's trying to remember if he shut off the gas before he left the house.

The band was disintegrating at this time, Byron was soon fired and no one was really communicating with one another. It was all downhill after this. Hensley left a few years later, they plod along to this day but never to reclaim the glory days of Look At Yourself, Demons and Wizards or Magicians Birthday. Byron was out of control by 76 and it's a shame he couldn't keep it together, a great wasted talent.
