Uriah Heep
Just 'youtubing', as you do.
Found this. I saw the band way back in the early '70s at Liverpool Stadium.
Always loved July Morning. Dave Byron had a great voice, didn't he. I love the headbanging between Mick Box and Byron at the end. Shame the sound quality is not too good.

I used to like Sweet Freedom, their opening track.
DB did have a good voice, I thought.

Re: Uriah Heep
On the studio version of July Morning, Byron sounds like David Bowie.

Re: Uriah Heep
Trevor Bolder has told Classic Rock that the reason for his recent surgery wasn’t a heart attack, as online rumours suggested – it was cancer.
But the Uriah Heep bassist is looking forward to life without the killer disease, and he’s revealed plans for a Spiders From Mars reunion later this year.
Heep last month announced that Bolder would be temporarily replaced by JJ Jowitt of IQ, Arena and Frost* fame, adding: “We all wish Trevor a speedy return to the fold.”
That led to speculation he’d suffered a heart attack.
But Bolder tells Classic Rock: “No. It wasn’t – it was cancer. I had a big operation in early January that will take me months to get over.
“I had pancreas cancer so I had to have that removed. Not the entire pancreas – but still, it was bad news. They’ve cut out the bad bit. I’ve had a bit of chemo, got to have that, which I’m doing now, in case there’s anything hanging about. Once that’s done, I should be back to doing what I do for a living.”
Bolder admits he was “shell-shocked” when doctors told him the news, but adds: “I’m over that. I’m up and down.”
He describes convalescence as “boring,” explaining: “I need to get my concentration back, to be honest, because I get tired real quick at the moment. Luckily I’ve got my studio at home so I can start messing around and get my efforts back. I want to do that, and write a few songs.
“In a couple of months I should be back to normal and doing roadwork with Uriah Heep. Originally, I was told it would be nine months. I’ve gone private now and they say it should be four months – as long as I take it steady.”
Bolder has also told Classic Rock that plans are afoot for the Spiders From Mars to play a reunion gig around Christmas, featuring him, drummer Woody Woodmansey and an as-yet unnamed vocalists.

Re: Uriah Heep
Not the main point of the news...
Such a shame: Bolder is my top favourite bass player. Incredible composer too! He played with Bowie, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep.
Love in Silence is one of my favourite Heep tracks because of his playing...

He is one of the best rock bass players ever, for sure. So underrated...
let's hope he gets better soon

Re: Uriah Heep
Planet Rock play Return to Fantasy a lot which sounds brilliant every time I hear it (not really a Byron point but thought I would chuck it in).
Sorry to hear of the cancer especially the type he has. Can only wish him well.

Oh no, not that one again
Get well Trevor, here's a glass to you! (Although this news is very bad, indeed...) Maybe not all hope is lost, though

Re: Uriah Heep
(Ten years after the last post, almost to the day)
The new record "Chaos & color" is an absolute cracker of an album. What an incredible band. Anybody else enjoying this?
To celebrate them, here's how I rate their catalogue:
Demons and wizards
Sweet freedom
Magician's birthday
Look at yourself
Salisbury
Return to fantasy
Wonderworld
Firefly
Very 'eavy very 'umble
Abominog
Chaos & color
Living the dream
Wake the sleeper
Sea of light
Innocent victim
Into the wild
Outsider
Fallen angel
Sonic origami
Head first
Raging silence
Conquest
Equator
High and mighty
Different world
