Fan Reviews

Samuel Papa (Youngstown, Ohio, USA) writes, "The best live album ever made. Byron sings as well as he screams. The backgroung vocals and harmonies set them apart from all the other rock bands. Uriah Heep were the first band of its kind the inventers of hardcore emo. They also move to a pop rock sound effortlessly as shown in Sweet Lorraine and Easy Livin."

Lukas Horvath (Kosice, Slovakia) writes "It is very interesting and the f*****g best."

Lino Guerriero (Toronto, Ontario) writes, "I am a loyal fan of Uriah Heep. The David Byron LPs are the best. David Byron is the greatest singer in rock, just listen to 1973 Live - makes my point. I cried the day he died. David will live on in the hearts of all Heep fans."

Brad Duren (Oklahoma, US) writes "Masterpiece. THE Uriah Heep album. From the opening notes of Sunrise to the crashing blows of Love Machine, this is a feast for the senses. Definitive versions of all songs, especially Sunrise, July Morning, Tears in My Eyes, Gypsy and Circle of Hands. I still have the vinyl version of this album (and all other Heep albums between 1970 and 1985), and the programme, photos, and liner notes still bring back memories."

Norihiro Tanno (Tokyo, Japan) writes, "I like U-Heep Live very well because I feel a really High power from their play!!!"

Todd Pence (Fairfield, VA) writes, "The classic Heep live album, documenting the height of their career. In addition to all the classics (except the conspicuous absence of The Wizard, one of the album's few shortcomings), we are treated to some Heep songs that were meant for live performances, such as Circle of Hands and Tears In My Eyes. I've never picked up the CD version of this and continue to listen to my LP version (which can be found readily and cheaply at good used record stores). There are three reasons for this. First, the CD version cuts the closing Rock and Roll Medley. Second, the LP boasts an attractive and informative booklet with full-sized pictures of the individual band members in classic poses as well as an inner dust jacket decorated with copies of press clippings. Third, Live '73 is one of those albums that was for some reason just meant to be played on a phonograph, and that seems to lose something in the translation to CD."
