Thank you all for the support over the last few months! I've been really keen to launch my Patreon for a while now... check it out: www.patreon.com/kirawasareactor Also sorry about the big L on this video's focus. It had to eventually happen for me to learn to be more diligent bout it. On a positive note, this is the third video in a row where KZfaq has left the comments alone. I think the problem is fixed yesss

My favorite Uriah Heep song was always Look At Yourself, I'm surprised why this was not recommended more often.

Uriah heep, The magicians bday, lady in black, rainbow demon, paradise/the spell

Heep are so underrated, fantastic band

"I love organs...". You might want to rephrase that. Loffin'

Uriah Heep is my all-time favourite band. I'm aware I'm in the minority on this one, but there's something about their sound and their relentlessly positive attitude that just makes me happy. Edit: You mentioned the bass. The original bass on this was Gary Thain, a brilliant musician who was tragically electrocuted on stage. He survived, but never played again. For most of the 70s, Heep had three terrific singers in the band. Lead vocal David Byron, organist Ken Hensley, and drummer Lee Kerslake all had wonderful voices.

As a bass player, I heartily approve of your love of the bottom end. We aim to please but generally get overlooked because most people are hearing and watching the guitarist and singer!

SCORPIONS -Fly to the rainbow 🌈 -Evening wind🌬 -Inheritance$$$ -Drifting sun 🌞 -Crying days😭 -Lonesome crow 🦅 -Far away 👋 -Sails of Charon ⛵ -Your light💫 and many many more.... -

I was sat in front of Trevor Boulder at one gig and he did things that show that I felt if I tried would do myself an injury. I was in awe.

I was a little bit surprised "Lady in black" didn't make the cut. Then again, it's slightly overplayed. However, on the newer stuff you might want to give a go at "Nail on the head" :)

My fiance is the drummer in Uriah Heep - we watching thisnd we love it! hah!

Kira, Magician's Birthday is long and you will love it. We all know a certain passage performed on a certain instrument would be worth you listening on it's own, and it's also a great and dynamic fantasy adventure.

How many times can someone pronounce Uriah Heep wrong in 15 minutes? Tune in to find out..

I’ve seen them in Istanbul 2 years ago, they were pretty impressive for a band of people in their 70’s

You gotta try some early Scorpions too. 😉 I'm just gonna say "Sails of Charon"

"B A S S" -Kira, probably

If I am not mistaken, you are listening to a re-recorded version of July Morning. This features Bernie Shaw on vocals.....The original was David Byron. The original is definitely superior, but Bernie does the song justice.

You gotta try "Blue Oyster Cult" someday...

URIAH HEEP is the name of a fiction character created by Charles Dickens from his novel DAVID COPPERFIELD

In Bulgaria we have a tradition named after the song July Morning. Every year, on the 1st of July we watch the sunrise on the beach and listen to rock music.

3 awesome songs right there, looking forward to watching you react to this Kira.

The bassplayer on this version is probably Trevor Bolder, long time member and also famous from David Bowie's Spiders from Mars. The UH bassplayer from the mid Seventies Gary Thain was also incredible.

You listened to a live or re-recorded version of "July Morning." I'm honestly not sure what it is, but it's definitely not the original studio version.

Try something from early Whitesnake, like Don't Break My Heart Again.

FIRST TIME WATCHING THIS GROOVY FOXY CHICK. GREAT FIND BY ME! AND GREAT JOB BY HER!

I love your reactions. Rock On Girl 🎸

Uriah Heep: Tales Heep has mellow songs, too, and they are great.

Trevor bolder the bassist was a friend of mine, awesome player and a really nice bloke 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Saw them many times. Also saw them on their very first tour back in 1970 or 71, they opened for Steppinwolf in Houston, Texas. All these songs, I heard live.

As a Bass Player I allways enjoy when a Person enjoys the Bass in a Song. :D

If you do a follow up Uriah Heep video like you did for some other artists I truly recommend Lady in Black & Lady in Black & Lady in black and Look at yourself. Did I mention Lady in Black. After that maybe look at delving into Blue Oyster Cult

This is not the original album cut of JULY MORNING. And as you have noticed this tune is clearly inspired by CHILD IN TIME by Deep Purple, the voice is singing a very slow part while the organ goes in three times along, just like in Child in Time, then Byron tries to do the same screams getting high and higher. We called this "a very evident inspiration".

When I seen that Uriah Heep pop up on your review ,I hit the like button with out even hearing a word you said!...😊

What do you get when you cross Deep purple with 3Dog night? Uriah Heep 🤘🤯💪 🎸

Loving the reactions. Try some Lemmy (Motorhead) era Hawkwind. I suggest Magnu, Brainstorm and Psychedelic Warlords as a start

THANK YOU. First band I ever saw live, aged 15, 1976 at Wembley Arena. Mum & dad took us! We loved them in our house and they were amazing. Easy Livin, Sunrise, The Wizard, Magician's Birthday the list goes on. Please do more. You can find great live stuff on YT of them. Live a Budokan is pretty dope. They had the supreme line up when I saw them. Easy Livin is fab.

That bass player, Gary Thain, is from New Zealand, and passed away at l think the age of 27 or 28.

I finally got round to a deep dive into Uriah Heep right before the Pandemic. So fucking good, they’ve helped carry me right through to 2021.

You liked the bass on "July Morning". Pretty sure that was Gary Thain, who was a New Zealander who played with Uriah Heep, but died tragically at 27 in 1975

Hi kira again another entertaining reaction🤘blue oyster cult in the next few weeks 🤞fire of unknown origin and shooting shark to add to your list 😀

Not saying it's "wrong" but at least July Morning is also not the original version from the 70s, but I think a re-recording from 2009. Then the Line-Up would be Bernie Shaw - vocals Mick Box - guitar, Phil Lanzon - keyboards Trevor Bolder - bass Russell Gilbrook - drums Mick Box is the only one still active in Uriah Heep from the beginning. In the 70s they had some changes (some of them tragic) of bass players, and in the late 70s also vocalists. The main line-up of the early albums would be David Byron - vocals Mick Box - guitar Ken Hensley - keyboards Paul Newton - bass and changing drummers, before they found Lee Kerslake in 1972. That would in parts explain some different sound. Bernie Shaw is strong, but also not getting younger. The late David Byron would be their original voice, together with vocal harmonies of course, and Ken Hensley the orignial organ player. Also, on July Morning there is an additional Keyboard solo by Manfrad Mann, on a very early Synthesizer :D It may sound a bit cheesy today. But (if only for yourself) also listen to the studio version on the Look At Yourself album! (I think most of the time finding out which album a song was on first, and finding that version makes the most sense? If it isn't something special)

Heep. Hell yeah. Demons & Wizards and I'm Magician's Birthday kick ass.

Try some Opeth songs- •Sorceress. •Ghost of Perdition. •Blackwater Park. •Harvest. •Godhead's Lament. Opeth are one of the greatest Metal bands. They have a serene mix of beauty and brutality. Opeth will blow your mind!!! Also,Awesome video!!!.

I loved your reaction to this great band. New subscriber 🖤

Bravo young lady, welcome to one of the best 70s bands……😃😃😃

Loved it. I told you David Byron was a major singer. I wanna check your list there on "Stealing" and "The Wizard". You rock Kira. I mean it!!!

"Salisbury" also an epic song from their album "Salisbury"

Fellow hipsters young and old and in between you might want to sign the petition to get them in the Rock and roll Hall of shame or fame

So glad you liked them, I hope you'll do a part 2 some day! a few other bands from the early 70s (with great BASS) to check out: Budgie: guts - rocking man - breadfan - baby please don't go - in for the kill - crash course in brain surgery Blue Öyster Cult: cities on flame with rock and roll - the red & the black - ME 262 - astronomy Nazareth: morning dew - razamanaz - broken down angel - this flight tonight Also congrats on the patreon! love the names you used :)

Music from my high school days in the seventies, thanks.

I most of Uriah Heep the David Bryon era except the high and the mighty. His voice was ruined by alcohol, I believe. A few years later he got his voice back but died too young. Uriah Heep had it's share of tragedy. But survived for over 52 years.

Noooo you missed Lady in Black 😱 ... if you ever go back to Uriah Heep that's number 1!!!

Wow... I never realized that Bruce Dickinson was mimicking David Byron so much.

Uriah Heep known for their vocal harmonies. On All three numbers David Byron are singing. Such a great singer. RIP. On July Morning Paul Newton plays the bass. On the two others Gary Thain played the bass. RIP. You should try The Wizard

YES. Didn't see the other song titles til after posting. Cheers. Listen to Rain by Heep. it's a beautiful ballad which makes the most of David Byron's wonderful voice.

Motorhead was led by Lemmy Kilmister who came from the band Hawkwind who actually had a song called Motorhead. You should check them out, they've been playing space rock since 1969 and are still going led by Dave Brock.

that really was a golden era of bass playing. some truly magnificent bass work on Sabbath, Zep, Maiden, Priest, Purple, Heap, Rainbow and so many more! I'm a bassplayer and these are my touchstones for quality writing and spacious production that leaves room for the bass player! :D definitely doing it the right way by starting back at the roots of it all. a lot or reactors just see that people have done Slayer's Reign in Blood and leap straight in with that and that's not a sensible plan!! you have to work up to that stuff...

That was great! Fun to see you experience Heep for the first time. Glad you enjoyed them! You’re right, the bass *should* have been mentioned. I’m with you in favoring July Morning of these. I liked all of your comments and enjoyed your enjoyment of “Gypsy” as well It’s a pipe dream but I wish I could be your personal Uriah Heep advisor, HAHAHA. You probably know the feeling, you want the reacter to react to exactly what YOU want her or him to react to. and when you know a band’s full catalog you know there are deep cuts that others aren’t going to suggest but, maybe someday you’ll get to some of them. Keep hope alive. and I understand choosing democracy as a way to approach this.These were all good choices, no problem whatsoever with these. That was an odd version of July Morning... I did think it was the original singer but now I’m not so sure...The replacement guy may just sound a lot like David Byron. But, you got the gist of the song. Original would be best off of “Look at Yourself”. or the live version off of “Uriah Heep Live”, 1973, Black cover with white writing. Come to think of it that’s probably a good way to find the true original, - add in the album title along with the song title in a search. Might work... or maybe also add the word “original“. I will reiterate my top other choices in another comment. Thanks kira for this excellent reaction!

Gary Thain was the bass player for UH....highly underrated & his bass playing is never discussed among other musicians or bass players ...what a shame ...tragically died from drug use in the mid 70s..

I saw them in 1973 along with ZZ Top and I still have my ticket stub.

I Wanna Be Free is my favorite Uriah Heep track. It's on, probably, my favorite Uriah Heep album with July Morning. A famous review for the album Gyspy is on (their first) was "If this group makes it, I'll have to commit suicide." My condolences to her family.

The band MOTOR HEAD was named after a term that describes a person that uses meth amphetamine type of SPEED drug as recreation !!

I had to learn quickly that most played songs on Spotify often don't represent, what I like about a band, so I always dive into the discography directly and find out myself. However, there's nothing wrong about Uriah Heep songs like Lady in Black or The Wizard. It's just others are so much better. I'd additionally recommend: Bird of Prey, Salisbury (both from Salisbury), Pilgrim (from Sweet Freedom) and then The Hanging Tree (from Firefly) to add something more adult oriented rock.

Lady in Black,you will love it....& that chap who recommended the Scorpions-Sails of Charon,unique track with the guitar solo first up out of the blocks,stunning!

Fantastic band! Which "July Morning" Bernie Shaw and Non Byron? Congratulations for the reaction

Great stuff!!! Uriah Heep has a style/sound that is reminiscent of Deep Purple.

Now try Salisbury and look at yourself. Great music right at your fingertips

Hi Kira, Your hair looks great 👍

i love uriah heep the best band years 70

These old bands usually always told a story in their music ,so it isnt just a bunch of instruments that is banging a tune ,take note of that an really pay attention to what you are listening too ,it will be more interesting to know an help you further down the road ,some members had also branched off of other bands an moved on to form others ,bands also did sequels in their songs to the stories. Also I might add ,be careful on some of the reviews on the older bands if you mention certain band members names ,some have past away an no longer with us as die hard fans can be sensitive! All in all ,have fun with it an good luck as the history of the rock world goes deep an mysterious , an can be magical!...😎

That's mighty Gary Thain in the bass !

How do you hear anything? You talked through most of it!

First time listening July Morning circa 1987, I feel I was last generation to hear this song but I was wrong at all.

This girl is amazing!! you should try to listen other uriah heep's songs from the classic era! Uriah Heep is one of the best bands ever!

Thank you for reacting to one of my all time favorite bands. I think it is great young people are discovering the music I was enjoying 45 years ago. It gives me hope for the future of music. If you liked that song, you might want to try "Return to Fantasy". Another epic song. Find the studio version. It also has some great bass work from John Wetton and Big Hammond B3 organ with the swirling and screaming Leslie speaker. David Byron defined the vocal sound for what would become Heavy Metal. Keep listening and keep exploring the Uriah Heep music catalog and the other great forgotten bands of the early 70's. Other tracks you might want explore Magicians Birthday, Salisbury, Bird of Prey, High Priestess, Lady in Black, Love Machine, "The entire "Demon and Wizards Album" ENJOY

Yes, awesome!!!

Uriah Heep amazing band.

I'm not that much into Uriah Heep, but still loved the video! :D 70's Scorpions are definitely a good place to go. I like their 80s stuff (not as much, though), but they were amazing in the 70s. And before moving into the 80s, I'd suggest to give Thin Lizzy a spin or two. Phil Lynott was a poet, and a great bass player too! Cowboy Song, Emerald, Opium Trail, Don't Believe a Word... The UFO video was awesome too BTW. You rock, Kira 💪💜

July Morning is a classic - What you listened to was not the original album version which is far superior and contains the famous whiplash guitar moment. Lead singer David Byron was definitely doing Ian Gillan vocals & screams - and if you listen to a track called "Come Away Melinda" you will be convinced that is Gillan. Lol - add a Hammond organ and - well you can see where their influences lay. Please listen to the original July Morning in your own time and see what I mean. I'm surprised noone else noticed you heard a different mix entirely.

Uriah rhymes with Mariah !👌

You really can't leave the 70s without properly listening to KISS. They are an inspiration to many big 80s metal bands as much as Purple and Sabbath were. Cool song would be: Deuce, Strutter, 100,000 Years, Hotter Than Hell, Rock Bottom, She, Detroit Rock City, God of Thunder, Love Gun. And let's stop there 😉.

I fell in love with a gypsy queen ! Is he talking about Emilia Clarke ? I can relate to that 😳

What version of the song is this?

Hmmmm... Motorhead. Well, I'm guessing most people will say "Ace Of Spades," so I'm gonna recommend: "Overkill" (live version, preferably from "No Sleep 'til Hammersmith) "Bomber," "Iron Fist" (there's an awesome promo video for this one - mostly them on stage) "Stay Clean" (with a bass solo by Lemmy) "The Hammer" (this one is about the drummer - Philthy "Animal" Taylor) "City Kids" (early Motorhead) "Motorhead" (written by Lemmy when he was in Hawkwind)

Much yay

Check out the Steve Miller Band and MC5. SMB just because and MC5 for early hard rock that helped to create metal

Uriah Heap always seem to be kind of forgotten to an extent. I've always enjoyed them. So glad to see this reaction! I second those who are saying to react to Scorpions, especially their earlier stuff. "Sails of Charon" for sure. Also would suggest from Scorpions "Holiday", "Yellow Raven", and "Living and Dying".

Motorhead my favourite band. Try Overkill, we are the road crew, sweet revenge, capricorn, iron horse and of course the track motorhead which was a track by Lemmys previous band Hawkwind

Uriah Heep agreat band one of my favorite bands great singer great lyrics

Saw Uriah Heep open for Deep Purple a few years ago. Something tells me you'd have liked it!

Nobody *ever* mentions the bass. Well, unless it's Chris Squire or Geddy Lee.

You listened to a lesser version of July Morning, the absolute best version is from Uriah Heep Live '72.

Ah yes Motorhead next. What'll it be after?

Never heard this version of July Morning. Sounds like it has some upgraded production/vocals.

Bass, sole, trout, mask, replica. The guy has a very unique voice. I like The Heep. Salisbury, Demons and Wizards and The Magician's Birthday are in my collection. But they have a lot more. They kind of have prog leanings from time to time. Glad your channel is doing so well. We can't help at the present time but I hope patreon treats you well.

I don't know what you're listening to here. But this is a very recent version of Uriah Heep. Good as it is its not a patch on the band that originally recorded this song. Go to the Live 73 album and listen to the same song. The reason you love the bass by the way is he's playing the bass lines of the late Gary Thain (New Zealnder) one of the most fluid and musical bass players there's ever been. If you listen to it, remember it's live!

Hi great choose but... why the second voice covers the first in this audio? I mean making the comment just after July Morning, I don't know if it is going on with the other songs too...

You Rye Ah Heep! I had a roommate in the 70s who overdosed me on the band. As usual I did my best to drive him crazy with my jazz and punk etc....

I wish I could react like you hearing new music, last I did that I was what? 12.13 years old. Anyway I still react like a kid sometimes but almost never to anything new I hear.

"July Morning" from the "Uriah Heep Live - January 1973" Album is the ultimate version. The studio version doesn't even come close. You should give it a try, it will blow your mind.
