More information: Captured at the height of their early '70s ascendancy, Circle Of Hands stands as a thunderous document of a band firing on all cylinders before a reverent and electrified Japanese audience. Broadcast live on NHK Radio and preserved in striking fidelity, this performance showcases Uriah Heep's signature fusion of hard rock power, progressive ambition, and theatrical grandeur at one of rock's most iconic venues, the Nippon Budokan.
From the opening surge, the band unleashes a dynamic set defined by soaring vocals, swirling Hammond organ, and dual-guitar intensity. David Byron's commanding voice soars with operatic force, while Ken Hensley's keyboards drive the music into dramatic, symphonic territories. The rhythm section anchors everything with muscular precision, giving the performance both weight and momentum as it surges through extended passages and explosive climaxes.
