URIAH HEEP DISCOGRAPHY PLUS
I often have a toss up between my 3 favorite Heep live albums, but put this first for the magic of the band pulling off classics like Sunrise, Tears In My Eyes, Circle of Hands, July Morning, and The Magician’s Birthday – All in the same show! Plus the singles – Gypsy, Easy Livin, and Sweet Lorraine! Performance on this show was legendary – David’s vocals, Lee’s drumming, the solos, and the Rock n Roll Medley – which a few band’s did around this time and band’s like Queen would pick up on and make one of their own in their live sets. Live January 1973 caps off Uriah Heep’s period with Mercury Records in North America, and for many fans – capped off their greatest period, with the ‘classic’ line up at it’s peak. One of the greatest live albums of the 70s – when live albums meant a bit more. Here’s hoping we’ll see more more live archived releases. And since 2009, there’s been a whole pile of new live recordings ” video release, and a few live tracks on the back of B-sides and “The Best of Part 2” compilation. But at the start of the new millennium a whole series of live albums started being released, in leu of any new studio albums for most of the decade, as the industry changed. Uriah Heep released 1 classic double-live set in 1973, and though the band continued into the 80s, 90s, and are still recording and performing there was no further live albums until 1986 when 2 posthumous live sets were released, and a new live album in 1988. In the ’70s band’s released live albums usually to cap off a period in their career or to commemorate a memorable show or performance live albums came less often.
