Live Albums By Uriah Heep

Uriah Heep are a classic example of a band that critics love to hate but, over time, the band has become an institution of British hard rock.

Over time, there have been many changes of personnel but the best band was probably around the Demons & Wizards studio album with David Byron (vocals), Mick Box (lead guitar), Ken Hensley (keyboards) and Lee Kerslake on drums. Bass was one position that changed regularly.

It’s useful to look at the studio albums before looking in detail at the live albums.

Uriah Heep – What Pete Pardo Thinks

I found some excellent videos on YouTube by a guy called Pete Pardo from a website called the Sea of Tranquility. On this page are videos of him talking about Uriah Heep.

Heep were never the most fashionable of band. In fact, the critics hated them and I never understood why. Musically varied, good tunes and David Byron was a fantastic singer.

But I liked them. I saw them at the Reading Festival, possibly in 1978. That’s after the classic David Byron era but there were a fine band and made me forget about the drizzle and the mud.

Probably their best known live album is from 1973, Uriah Heep Live, recorded in Birmingham.

Here is Pete.
