Circus...is the name of this band from the Cleveland area 1973. I never heard of them but last month Clevelanders the Paul Pope Band played Buffalo & they covered this song. I've been seeing the Paul Pope Band since 1979 & never once did they cover this song. Really good song though...

Nice song. :grinthumb Good band, also never heard of them.

South Africa had it's own band also called Circus in the mid 70's. Also a great band. Check out their history at Circus - In The Arena. The full album is also available to hear on youtube :)

Their debut self-titled album should have been massive! They could easily have competed with the likes of Styx, Foreigner and Toto and won!

I am 24 and their debut album was an accidental discovery.

Excellent album. They should have been bigger. Some of their later stuff is also great, check it out on youtube :)
