I spin that disk all the time. Good find

 

[YY1]

Easy Livin' still gets occasional airplay.

I also like to spin Ken Hensley's Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf.

Good stuff. Cool Mercury LP label on that one. Magician's Birthday is another gem.

Early Heep is just plain awesome.
Hard to top David Byron vocals for sure. Had a real set of vocal chords.

Saw Uriah Heep with Manfred Mann's Earth Band in '74. Heep ended the night with an epic version of "July Morning" from the "Look at Yourself" album. The Earth Band were excellent also, a great concert night!

Someone's gotta remember to post a good rendition of "July Morning" @ the Good Morning thread @ General Off Topic Stuff...

But here's a nice one for this thread, recorded in 1974 @ KBFH:

Yes indeed . . . I'll have to watch that later!

At the concert I was expecting Manfred to join them with his Mini-Moog on ending like he did on the album, but he never came out.

I have an original UK LP Vertigo label of Heep's first.

 

[KeninDC]

The Castle CD with bonus tracks of Demons and Wizards sounds freaking great and the bonus tracks are tops.

 

[poppachubby]

The first 4 or 5 albums are all jewels. 70s rock at its best.

 

[Yodathedog]

I didn’t know for many years that John Wetton played with them.

Funny I was just listening to this about an hour ago.

Heep's show recorded by KBFH was performed in San Diego on 8 February 1974.

Setlist:
01. Easy Livin'
02. Sweet Lorraine
03. Stealin'
04. July Morning
05. Seven Stars
06. Gypsy
07. (drums)
08. Sweet Freedom
09. Look At Yourself
10. Love Machine
11. Medley: Roll Over Beethoveen > Blue Suede Shoes > Hound Dog > At The Hop

While it is (IMO) rather a lackluster performance overall, there are a few good moments.

Nice. I saved it. Not afraid of the yacht rock (Sanford Townsend Band), I see.

I've got a yacht rock heavy mostly-70s playlist myself. And, yes, "Thunder Island" is on it.

No Heep, so I apologize to the OP.
