When I started going to Focus gigs around 1972 they played in 5000 seats venues. Now it’s small clubs which actually is pretty nice since the intimacy is so strong. Kudos to the guitarist, he’s doing a fine job.
I can remember when House of the King was used as a theme tune to a tv show . Im too old and knackered to remember what show it was. Keep on rocking guys. Enjoyed this very much. Thank you for posting.
Fantastic music and musicians! Hard to believe that Van Leer and Vander Linden are the originals - they still play (and sing) so well. The drum solo towards the end is just amazing. I see they are still touring - wonder if they'll make it down to New Zealand?
Had the great privelige of enjoying these resilient and talented musicians last night at Bury Met...As has been said below...If you know...You Know!!! I knew they would be Brilliant and they were.
What can i say that hasn't been said already. I purchased MOVING WAVES, just so i could listen to Hocus POCUS, not realising that the whole album was fabulous.
Mooie opnames van een magnifieke band ! Met een van mijn favoriete drummers. Maar helaas, ook hier een deel van het publiek dat persé hun niet ter zake doende onzinverhaal aan de buurman of - vrouw moet vertellen, dwars door de mooie zachte stukken heen.......

This wonderful concert was a celebration for the 50 years of the best rock group ever! Love from Brazil to the eternal Focus!

Menno Gootjes to me retains the spirit of Jan Akkerman better than many others who replaced Akkerman before him.

Grande concerto! Fantastico 🎶🎵💗
Always a wonderful presentation and 'music'.
Got to be genius to remember the melody line. No doubt
Never really came back after Jan left
