Circle of Hands Live Japan 1973

Circle of Hands captures Uriah Heep at the peak of their early ’70s rise, playing with real force and confidence for an electrified crowd in Japan. It’s a vivid snapshot of a band fully locked in, bringing together hard rock weight, progressive reach, and that unmistakable sense of drama.

Broadcast live on NHK Radio and preserved in striking fidelity, this set places Uriah Heep on stage at the Nippon Budokan, one of rock’s most storied venues. You can hear the occasion in every moment: a reverent audience, a fired-up band, and a performance that still feels immediate.
