4 stars What a live record!!

Since first time I heard that album I was hipnotized by David Byron vocals (even when they look and sing a little bit like Gillan), the great talent of Mick Box on guitar and Mr. Gary Thain on bass and specially the amazing talents of Lee Kerslake on drums and Ken on Hensley keyboards.

The album starts with the powerful almost-ballad "Sunrise" followed by "Sweet Lorraine", a strong piece of rock. Uriah Heep had an unusual talent to mix rock and roll, heavy rock, some drops of prog and many doses of emotional shocks in this album made when the musicians of the band were in their best moment. There are a lot of unfogottable pieces such as "Traveller in Time", the beuatiful and heavy "July Morning", "Gypsy", "Look at Yourself" and a crazy rock n' roll medley that finishes the double vynil version of the album.

Anyway, a memorable live piece, IMO necessary in any prog music collection...
