steve@baselines.com Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Great job! I saw them back in the 70s - they were an opening act for someone, maybe Jethro Tull, maybe Alice Cooper, I can't remember for sure. One of the loudest guitarists I had heard at that time.

bats brew Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 another favorite from way back, of mine. great cover, mick box is just a bit different than any other guitar player i heard at that time... and trying to sing david byron, is just as hard as trying to sing freddie mercury, or elton john. it's a task, not for the faint of heart. gary thain is still one of my alltime favorite bass players, rip. great job on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 After their heyday I had a friend verbally offer me an opportunity to audition for Uriah Heep. I had visions of driving from town to town in an old van. I turned it down. Great cover though, Leadfoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot bats! I appreciate the kind words! Yeah this is an old favorite of mine too. Some of the high background vocals were a little rough for these 53 year old vocals cords, but perseverance paid off.🤣 Gary Thain was definitely a badass on bass. They were all great in their own way. It's a shame that Mick's the only one left... Thanks a lot man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Must confess didn't know this one, only album of theirs I remember is Very Heavy, Very Humble. Consequently did a little research, this an excellent cover Bob. Very balanced mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
