Uriah Heep - "Live" (1973)Just as many other bands during the 70's, Heep were wise enough to put out a live-album while they were on the top of their career. "Live" is a double-album that remains one of the classics when it comes to live-albums. It perfectly captures Heep in concert at their best and features strong versions of such classic Heep tracks as "Circle of Hands", "Sunrise", "July Morning" and "Traveller in Time". They even manage to re-create their awesome vocal-harmonies very well (just check out "Easy Livin'"). The 14-minute version of "Gypsy" features some of the coolest and most vibrating organ-sound ever recorded, and it also includes a long moog-solo. The only "weak" thing is that Heep already at this moment had too many classic songs to get them included on a double live-album. It's hard to not miss such gems as "Bird of Prey", "Lady in Black" and "The Wizard" from the play-list. It should may have been a triple-album instead as Heep had enough classic material to justify a release like that. And the 8-minute rock'n'roll medley at the end of the album is fun for 1 or 2 listens, but I've skipped it after that. But apart from that, this is a very enjoyable listen if you like live-albums. It's also Hensley's personal fave album by Heep, next to "Demons and Wizards".


Uriah Heep - "Sweet Freedom" (1973)The last classic album by the best Heep line-up, but as I said, it's a classic and in my opinion just as strong as the two '72 albums. However, the epic masterpiece "Pilgrim" was the only track where the band still dealt with fantasy-themes. "If I Had the Time" has the most incredible atmosphere Hensley ever created with his keyboards. The main-theme of this track is just so great and fantasy-like, even if the lyrics not were in the fantasy-territory at all. "One Day" features almost everything that made classic Heep so great. Fantastic harmonies, a great melody and Mick Box' wha-wha playing. The title-track is another strongly melodic tune, but now with Hensley's delightful organ more in front. "Circus" is one of their best acoustic tracks ever, and has a great 70's mood. The album also features a couple of straightforward hard rockers where "Stealin'" is the best known. However, the two others ("Dreamer" and "Seven Stars") are both just as good. Overall, another essential Heep-album. But any band would have been pretty much dried up after releasing 7 strong albums (including several classics) in only 3 years, and the following albums would prove that Heep of course was no exception...
