From Living the Dream (2018). Living the Dream is the 24th studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in September 2018 by Frontiers Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 3-Pickup Black Beauty through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Uriah Heep's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
