Uriah Heep & David Byron: COLLECTION 1973-1977 is an unofficial released DVD compilation that was early released as Classic Heep: Live From The Byron Era. Mainly due to the efforts from fellow Dutchman Louis Rentrop here is an excellent DVD featuring live footage from Uriah Heep, recorded between 1972 and 1976, and some footage from David Byron solo, five songs from 1977 Rough Diamond. The marketing of this DVD made the audacious claim that it was the "Holy Grail" for fans of Uriah Heep, and you have to admit that the claim is entirely valid. David Byron was Mister Uriah Heep, his incredible voice that could reach the highest possible ranges and change lowest tones in fraction of seconds with absolutely no effort represent the peak of this pioneers of Prog metal. Gary Thain was the best bass player ever born and without this two guys, Uriah Heep was no more the great band that recorded Demons And Wizards, and if you add some appearances of a very young John Wetton, well this DVD is an historical document that rarely can be seen. The tragic loss of David Byron and Gary Thain means that the classic line up of the band can never reform. This gives this DVD a far greater poignancy than archive footage of other bands who have managed to survive intact. For those of you who grew up with the band and who were devastated by the death of two of your heroes, this is a truly magnificent consolation. David Byron was an archetypical rock and roll singer: dynamic, dramatic, ego-centric, theatrical and extravert on stage and capricious, narcistic, emotional instabile and self-destructive in his own life. No wonder he died as an alcohol-addict in 1985. On this DVD you can perfectly witness his ego-centric and theatrical, a bit queery ''stage antics''. DVD features concerts from Japan, the UK and the USA in the era 1973-76. But that's not all, as you know in almost no video or DVD you can watch Ken Hensley making his old Hammond and Mini Moog cry as nobody ever did before of after, surely not the most technical keyboardist but without doubts one of the most emotional performers, who left everything each time he climbed that stage and of course all of them playing together with the strong Lee Kerslake and the eternal Mick Box. But the focus is on David Byron, he gives most of the songs an extra dimension. Also features songs with an extended guitar solo from Mick Box. You can watch John Wetton, he had just left Roxy Music, during the USA tour. The final part belongs to David Byron solo featuring five songs from his solo album Rough Diamond, nice for the Uriah Heep die-hards. You don't buy this DVD to see virtuoso musicians playing in a controlled environment, but a real live album full of strength and energy with five musicians giving 110% to a 15,000 heads monster that constantly feed them with their cheers. If you want pure adrenalin and the chance to see the classic Uriah Heep together with Gary Thain and David Byron alive again, get it immediately.
