Live January 1973

Performer: Uriah Heep
Producer: Gerry Bron

Notes: Recorded live in England, January, 1973. Uriah Heep: David Byron (vocals); Mick Box (guitar); Ken Hensley (keyboards); Gary Thain (bass); Lee Kerslake (drums). As longtime Uriah Heep fans know, the band could really tear it up on stage during their '70s prime--and their 1973 release LIVE perfectly captures the band's in-concert excitement. Recorded at a tour stop in Birmingham, England during January of '73, the band cranks out high decibel renditions of many of their prog-metal masterpieces. "Sunrise" proves to be just as intense and emotional in concert as the original studio version, while both "Sweet Lorraine" and "Easy Livin'" rock with the best of them. Uriah Heep's LIVE is a solid example of the whole early '70s in-concert hard rock experience.

Despite a Spinal Tap-like inability to secure a drummer, British band Uriah Heep has continued to roll with the punches since 1969. Their eclectic approach to rock folds Tolkeinian dragons-and-dwarves imagery into grand musical themes that draw on prog, metal, acid rock, and pastoral folk. The band were fairly popular in the U.K. in the '70s, and their albums charted respectably in the U.S. during this time as well. As the musical landscape shifted in the later '70s, the band's popularity died down, but they have continued to release albums (their live discography is rather lengthy) and tour, and remain popular in Eastern Europe and Japan.
