Uriah Heep - Circle Of Hands

[bradwills1]

Ken Hensley...a great guy...had a a studio here in St. Louis Mo. for a while and then all of a sudden lost him! Not sure where he;s at now but do remember being 15 yrs.old and yrs. ago listening to this Great music!

[jamiepapalardi]

I can't imagine that these guys are reminding us that the future has its price. How nice. Nothing happens now.

[chuckwhitetube]

@la4ocska - wow me too, but my life was easier than an East European's was at that time. Still, we rode the roads in my part of the world, listening to this album, and loving every minute of it. The lyrics are amazing. Wish there were more groups like this today. Linkin Park, maybe? M&M before he went commercial

[jamiepapalardi]

For any band in those days to deliver such an energy its incredible, that energy level is maintained throughout time.

[RAY2424]

If someone told me this was 1972 I would have thought more like 68 or 67 freakin great. harmonies awsome

[breslaurock]

When I was a kid in Brazil I used to fall asleep listening to the side A of this LP, and this was the last song... I had a lot of good dreams back in that time... URIAH HEEP FOREVER!!!

[fortheloveoftunes]

1:24 and in the face of beauty evil was lost! .-)

[Dubwolff]

UH was a huge part of my "formative years" when this album first came out.

Brilliant lyrics, incendiary vocals, the whole band was awesome!

Nothing like that classic line-up! Dubwolff

[millermb1956]

I WORE THE GROOVES OUT ON THIS ALBUM-SO MANY GOOD SONGS. WHAT A TIME IN A YOUNG MAN'S LIFE-THE 70'S

[bowecho]

@millermb1956 What a time in a young woman's life = the 70's!

[jcso21]

one of my favorite albums ever. wore it out...

[mullah06]

Think about the "arab spring" and the rise of islam when you listen to this....Coming to a neighborhood near you...."pretty soon you'll pay"

[singletjohn]

@mullah06: I see that I'm not the only one that sees what is coming!

[paradisethespell]

I love this album!

[06ranchero]

Another song to prove the seventies had the coolest music!!!

[hermygagala]

@06ranchero Another song to prove David Byron is one of the greatest vocalists of all time as well as one of the most underrated, all the same goes to the band.

[solidiv]

@hermygagala So true

[MrCaptrips]

after all today IS only yesterday's tomorrow

[MrHainesta]

Ken Hensley at his level best ... pure magic!

[V6Jim]

It just does not get any better than this! The outro to this makes me howl. Guitars, pianos, more guitars....wow! Makes me glad I lived through this era. Magic music!

[peterstipton]

Fantastic, brings back memories. I also enjoy the Album covers, done by Roger Dean.

[83rrsou]

@peterstipton The album covers were half the experience. Fire up the Sansui QRX-6500, light up some dew & groove to the music and the jacket art.

[TheTherese3]

Easy all you Uriah Heepians,this is Doobie Brit, you know that.So Whitebread.Get yourselves together with uncles & old timers and find out about the greatest .Without the likes of Yes& ELP Jethro Tull :Heep would not be here

[TheTherese3]

This is Eddie Offord's weekend work.During the week he was busy with YES!

[MrFawkface]

Best band ever!!!

[Jaguarwarrior5]

i love this song,make me to sad.

[MrBuckwilliam]

pretty soon we'll pay...

[Msdistarr]

This album is a masterpiece! The era in which this music was made, afforded something very few artists today are allowed. Creativity. I believe that is one of the main reasons we (youth of the '60's and '70's) were witness to so much amazing music. The fact that there was true talent in those bands, surely didn't hurt.

[sangfreud]

Great song, great band! If only people had actually listened to the lyrics!

[MusicsWhore]

@bobmarleyisgod1 yes Pink Floyd did do some concept albums and depends on your definiation of a concept album. It really makes me sad no one really talks about the awsomeness of the album Atom Heart Mother better and more challenging then any album Zeppelin really ever did

[naturelover1957]

This is one of my favorite albums.I was listening to this song when I went to the bathroom.My crazy ex-girlfriend threw it out the door while I was in there.I nearly went ballistic!

[peniosasdasd]

@bobmarleyisgod1

They made the album "We Dont Need no Education" dude.

[BloodyTrust]

Find the sexual innuendo in the cover art and win a prize!!!...Okay theres no prize...but like this if you see it :3

[rcarlos2210ch]

One of the best songs, one of the best albums and one of the best bands of all time

[KafroThrasher]

Nooo I meant Thank you by led zep ... :D

[KafroThrasher]

intro remins me of your time is gonna come by led zeppelin.... :D

[cravingart]

I really dig this track on D&W!Especially bc it has that Led Zep,"Thank-You" vibe goin in it with the organ track.More melancholy.Tori Amos should cover THIS one too :) Hello, fellow listeners.Glad to read all your posts {well SOME of your posts~the negative/arguing stuff could be left out.This is a place for celebration, I feel}...but that's only just MY opinion.Blessed Be, y'all & thank you, again, Children...!Keep on postin great music!

[Optics06]

When I first heard this album-I was changed-I am 28. There can be No Doubt.

[cristiandurden]

Muito maneiro! Adoro! Bom d++++++++++++++

[tomitstube]

i think this is my fave from this record.

[danoontjeviking]

@sheephider82 You still can find them today,

Only they are rare :(

[la4ocska]

When we were kids and listened to the music of Heep in the 70-ies in Bulgaria, it meant to us much more than just a nice melody . It meant freedom. There are many groups, who could fight for the title "The best ever", but for my generation in Eastern Europe Uriah Heep and Purple are beyond any competion. They were the religion of our teens. No wonder Ken Hensley and the rest spend most of their time in our part of the world.

And "Circle of Hands" will remain the song of my life!

[jamiepapalardi]

@la4ocska You're right man! you have expressed my meaning. There's no words to describe.

[chiefmech23]

Had this in vinyl and wore it out this is fuc*in great find me songs or a lead singer who could sing like David this is Heep at it's best==

[cesardenise]

adorei essa música é lokaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!

[MrChasmaniac]

i saw these guys in in1974.

[vesse1]

one of my favourite songs on UH, This is really HAEVY!! Wonderful hammon soud "crying"!!!

[ensio94]

love that heavy organ sound...

[MsRed77]

i get chills when i listen to these guys the lyrics so true

[bumperu]

Hypnotic Hymmnal to the power of rock and roll and UH.

[pattysunshine007]

This is the BEST love song ever written

[The5555alec]

great song from the greatest time for music. Can someone upload the 73 live version please?

[uweoehlke]

I think for myself demons and wizards is the best album heep ever made. The fourth very good album in only two years. But allways two albums in one year were too much for them. Gerry Bron treated them like shit and things began slowly to change...

[vanesssaah]

Isso sim é rock and roll

\o

[KarmicAnarchist]

First Album I ever bought, this was.

[spiderweb4874]

Deamons and Wizards is the best of Uriah Heep. Been listening to it for years. Music like this is not made anymore.

[RavemanSwe]

Heep did some great songs 1970-74 but this absolutely is the greatest.

[brwnhornet59]

Ahh the power of Music. It can unite peoples thinking even when they do not know each other. We are all in this together.

[brwnhornet59]

This is one of my most all time favorite tunes. Why can't we all keep life this simple? We will always be in the face of adversity. So let us unite and face it together. TOMORROW!

[Medhelm]

Indeed. There's no point in fighting each other. TOMORROW!

[ManillaHeep]

Awesome

[Strap1205]

Oh my god this is so awesome! It´s phantastic and for a 72 recording it is just PERFECT!!!! I really love the lyrics and the feeling of this song!

[harryb3]

Ken Hensley's slide at the end is just fantastic! One of the alltime best songs by Heep!

[1954nono]

musique stélaire, magique aussi

[ironmaidenfan7788]

fucking love this song

[rosler211228]

"And today is only yesterday's tomorrow" is a sweet fucking lyric. My favourite lyric of all time infact. David Byron is a god.

[Shwaggetyshfifty]

@rosler211228 Actually, this song was written by Ken Hensley.

[peniosasdasd]

@rosler211228

There's absolutely no reason for Uriah Heep to not be up there with Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin for concept albums. Demons and Wizards is in the running for greatest album of all time, as far as I'm concerned.

Got this in the original LP from 1972.

[markenhagen]

@rosler211228 He sure is. Luckily my dad showed me classic rock. How many millions of kids will probably never hear this stuff. Sad for them Luck for us.

[TheSlenderman]

@rosler211228 its a nifty way of saying im looking objectively at today from yesterdays point of view.

i dont know how it has to do with the rest of the lyrics.

[anonymissdeb]

@rosler211228 - I also love "and in the face of beauty, evil was lost"...these guys were ahead of their time, that's why they are getting re-discovered now...or it could be that greatness comes and stays, but I do consider myself lucky to be young and impressionable in the 70's, cuz some of the greatest, emotive, TALENT was alive and well then. There is nothing more moving that genius manifesting itself in the form of music. Love this song and nearly every one of UH's..thank you!

[Ruiggie]

'Magic' song magic album.

[CousinSusie]

Wow, really good Buddy, I never heard of the before!!

Thanks for sharing it!!

[billythehoople]

the berries ay ? ahh daze of our youth !
