    Bass solo is truly solo, involving the audience in time without percussion. It seems so easy in 2023 on youtube vids from a living room, but this was LIVE, in front of tens of thousands, 50 years ago. FIFTY years ago, live. Everyone marvels at the amazing guitar, keyboard, and drumming (rightly so), but EVERY player was superior. I was lucky enough to witness this amazing band. It was called PROGRESSIVE rock for a reason. Following up with lick based "Eruption" spells it out, before of course... Imagine playing a Les Paul through an "Acoustic" rig with 15" speakers and hoping for some tone? ....all that, and it's not even a full house...and breaking a string without another guitar waiting, in tune, during an encore? WOW!! Just bringing it to the fans. Kudos.

    This video shows that when you are a genious in music and you master your instrument and/or voice... you do not need colorful lights, smoke and all that choreography other bands use on the stage! Their music and songs are simply fantastic.

      Focus - Live At National Stadium, Dublin 1973 (FULL SHOW, with time stamps) 2004pm 26.9.23 some family.... some butthole surfers fan or faux space rocker brought me here. decided i needed to enjoy the upstanding tunes of this dutch troupe, focus. seems such whimsy as this would have worked in any smoky pub or clubland circuit dive... this lends more to the bitter beer and real ale brigade than it does to tripped out kids with tinsel waving about shouting... as some dude in mock interested tones intones: what a good idea. as the silver tinsel wafts lovingly in the on-lookers face.... hawkwind gigs died after after that incident. sadly i wasn't at that hawkwind gig or was it Ozric tentacles... so effed up was i back at home soaking in a bathtub thinking: this is a fine way to get cramp... i wasn't at this focus concert, either. which is easily explainable as i was only 1 year and a bit old. johnny cum lately indeed.... adios old hams.

    Wow, didn't know this existed. They did 2 concerts in a row in the Stadium that time. I was at both. To this day 2 of the best gigs I was ever at. A couple of us bragged our way in to the first one with 10 Major cigarettes to the guy on the door (that was a regular thing for us back then as we were only kids and had little money). Was so good I paid in the next night as there were some seats still left. Still regularly listen to Focus. Great days. The Stadium had such great gigs back then, including Rory of course.

      Underrated simply means that they don't get the recognition that they deserve . There's no negative condemnation about the group as a whole just that they get very little recognition compared to the other progressive rock bands like yes ELP King Crimson and Genesis for example . These are trolls because I've said it myself many times with Focus level of talent they just never get the mention these other bands do ​@@OlafProt

    And I've even performed "Silvia" in my own band.
    (nobody recognized it, thow - they thought it was the finnish national hymn! And what the hell - it COULD have been! 😂)
    Jan Akkerman was (still is!) one of the absolute greatest guitarist ever! Brian May was a great fan.
    And the composer and leader Thijs van Leer - top of the pops!
    He is - by the way - still active!!
    Pierre van der Linden - now words reaches up!
    And Bert Ruiter on bass and backing vocals - no Focus without him!

    My parrents raised me in a progressive way, no mom and dad, just using their first names. It gives a certain equal understanding at a young age. I went to a jazz festifal with them where focus was playing. Loved it! Being progressive I got from my parrents. Now I understand why, they were a fan of focus. Now a days I am a fan of ‘The Cure’. Looking at this recording there are simularities. being a different thinker is OK

    Apart from the of course excellent performance, we should also take note of the great camera work and editing here. They don't make concert videos like this anymore, where the director stays on a given shot for more than one second. There's lots of slow crossfades and things like showing one band member, then panning over to another, or having a shot showing two or more band members, changing focus (pun intended) from one band member to another, without actually moving the camera. Nobody does stuff like that anymore.

    The National Stadium in Dublin was always a great venue back in the 1970s. I saw Rory Gallagher there, Thin Lizzy, Horslips, Harry Chapin, Budgie, Gong, Wishbone Ash, Eric Clapton, EmmyLou Harris….. Unfortunately I missed many concerts - this one here with Focus, Status Quo and also the famous Genesis concert when Peter Gabriel decided to appear, for the first time, in a costume, his wife’s red dress!
    Thankfully, I’m still going to concerts, my most recent one being the aforementioned Peter Gabriel in the 3 Arena…..

    jon akkerman was playing with no guitar pedals, no volume effect pedal , he had to worked with the timing of doing the volume effect with the guitar knobs and to completed a broken string ,in 1978 was the time most of guitar players brought a guitar tech, 2 electric extra guitars and responsible the guitars not being stolen.

      That's not the first time he's broken his string on stage during that song and repaired it on the spot. Check out focus live and rare on TH-cam for some videos of them from the early days much better than this one and that they're much clearer.😮

    I like the more open jamming here. The bass solo is loosely based on the one on the album. Much prefer these jams to the hits.

    Good concert. But marred by the unimaginative and lazy camera work. Not enough shots close up of Jan Akkerman. Best shots of him are when he changes his broken string!

    • @jimbabwe1

      Basically poor directing, tight on Thjis when Jan is doing his masterful breaks. I think he missed every one of them.
