Gary Thain was the reason I picked up the bass some 45 yrs ago. He was and still is my favourite bassist. I would say to anyone interested in his talents.. check out 1 track alone.. Sweet Lorraine of the Uriah Heep Live 73 album... That one track says it all in my opinion. Just brilliant he looked amazing.

In my opinion Gary Thain is one of the most underrated bassists in rock.

I remember the accident in Dallas, I’d be around 15 and was a big fan. There are pictures of him performing in New Zealand shortly after and he looks very frail. He was super talented and it’s no surprise Heep enjoyed their best period 72/75 when Gary was on board. He also looked great . Much missed.

I was lucky enough to see Gary play with Uriah Heep in Springfield Massachusetts. He was wearing the white furry boots with matching hat. He was amazing!

I've heard some amazing things about how this guy plays! Unlike anyone else apparently. Going to have to listen to some Uriah Heep's albums he was on. Thanks for this. Love learning about different artists 💗💯😁

I knew Ken Hensley in the late 80s where he worked as a consultant for St. Louis music Company on Ferguson Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. Great guy, great keyboard artist..

The band were so good during Gary's time with them. They seemed to knock out classic after classic.

I remember him dying when I was a devoted 13 yr.old Uriah Heep fan, but I never realized that he was a member of 'The 27 Club.'

Gary was not bass player. We was soloist on bass guitar. Unforgettable person

I was not a great fan of Uriah Heep. Though I did greatly enjoy some of their tunes. But later on I saw some videos...and this thin dude was one of the best bass players ever. Him and Rob Grange previously with ted Nugent also n the mid 70's. A rare gem he was.

don't overlook his tremendous contribution to the Keef Hartley Band

The "One of the true greats" label is terribly overused but in this case, it's appropriate. A player and a band that never got the recognition they each deserved, in my opinion.

Ken Hensley also passed away some years back.

My friend and I attended a Uriah Heep concert in 1975 shortly before Thain's death. Shortly into the show Thain collapsed on stage, apparently from an overdose, and we all were sent away without the remaining band members finishing the concert. At the time there was a lot of resentment that nobody got a refund. It was pathetic.
