"Rottenburg prison? That's a rough crowd. Spent a week there one night."

I loved this album when I was in high school!



/and yes, I was in high school when it was released

In the 70's I thought Uriah Heep was awesome, I saw them live 3 times. They were the loudest band I ever saw, so loud at one concert I had to leave. But I really came here to say that Mick Box, in my opinion, is a major underrated guitarist, I love his work on the old "Salisbury" album with the symphony orchestra, 3 really good guitar breaks in one song!

I feel old.

I have "the magician's birthday" on vinyl and i don't think it's very good at all. nothing really all that good about it.
maybe there's better albums by them out there, from the same time period, i dunno...

I got put in a ward once, but only because I was stealing when I should have been buying.

/got nothing

Bought both Demons & Wizards and Magician's Birthday in HS. Loved them then. Recently took another listen and kinda wish I had my $12 back, with interest.

But kudos to them for doing a concert in a mine. That had to be stupendously weird.

Haven't paid attention to them in so long, it was news to me this guy was now the lead vocalist.

David Byron, the original lead singer died in February 1985. FYI

One of the first ablums I bought was Uriah Heep Live. I also had the Magician's Birthday on vinyl a long time ago. Recently downloaded it from itunes, and I still like it.

I'd say get off my lawn, but my 20 year old son has some Uriah on his ipod too.
