@@CockneyRebel1979 Yep. It was definitely peculiar and they weren't playing it on AM radio, but are you familiar with Paul McCartney's Uncle Albert Admiral Halsey? I am not sure it was on AM radio, but it was a HUGE hit and got a LOT of airplay.
@@rosscraig6859 He was actually yodeling, moron. Yes the guitarist did do lead in places, but that doesn't mean the lead vocalist was miming. Why don't you make a RUclips video to show us how to do it if you think it's so easy?
I used to run my turntable down to 16 RPM and listen to those breaks at half speed, thinking I might be able to learn how to do what he’s doing… It just made it worse… The closer I looked, the more impossible it became … same thing happened when I was trying to figure out what Carl Palmer was doing on Karn Evil 9… it’s like fractals, or computer code for a recursive function…
I love when they did the midnight special in like 73. Upped the tempo to fit in the time slot. And my man hit some inhumanly high notes. Those people got their faces melted off that night.
Y fíjate en el detalle de la manera en que toma la baqueta en su mano izquierda.... es la toma tradicional, que también usó C Wats... Ya se ve poco esto en el rock!!!! Tuve el vinilo en LP, y hacia mas de 30 años que no escuchaba esto.
@@chiguaguaverdeDoes it really matter how he holds the left hand drumstick? As far as I know it’s pure tradition from the days when drummers played on horseback. There’s no reason why it would make his playing any better or worse.
Great to see him still with Thijs, He's a great drummer! Jan Akkerman is still active also I wonder why he's not with these guys??? I really hope it's not for a bad reason like "bad blood" with someone 😔
A half a century later and still AMAZING. I was around 10 or 11 when this song got released in the U.S. It was one of those tunes that got a lot of airplay on top 40 and deservedly so. You just couldn't wait until your favorite radio station played it again even though they played it over and over. This song is one of many examples why the early 70's were the BEST era of top 40.
No guitarist will ever take original FOCUS guitarist Jan Akkerman's place but of all the guitar players that have filled the guitar spot in FOCUS since his departure Menno Gootjes gets my thumbs up as the best. He is NOT trying to be Jan Akkerman, he is his own guitarist and brings his own style while keeping the essence of the original Focus songs alive. I think he is a amazing guitar player in every aspect.
That not Jan Akkerman? Some of his leads sound like Jan and the tone of his guitar is the right tone... I heard the guitar fukkups, but honestly Jan was kind of loose when I saw them 40 or so years ago
When I was a young kid growing up in the '70s and this or Golden Earring's 'Radar Love' came on, I would get so excited. The Dutch know how to rock AND Prog! Thanks for posting!
Bands are still bands, in-fact seeing as this generation has stood on the shoulders of giants and learned the masterpieces of your generation as their beginner practice songs, as well as being in my mid 30s and having first hand experience of performing in bands for over half my life, playing at professional levels that would dwarf most musicians from your generation back in the day. I can safely say that you have no idea what you are taking about.
KMET, high school, kitchen table, PCB art work. 1977 - I think. (I was handicapped, so no drugs. Too dangerous for someone like me. I needed to have what little (social) smarts I had.)
One of the best and most beautiful drum solos ever recorded is on the focus album moving waves. Pierre Van der linden executes the solo with such warmth and soul and sheer musical talent that it simply inspires.
Saw thrm in '74. Outstanding concert. Opened for Santana. An hour into Santana's show, people were sleeping. Thys van Leer has written some of the most beautiful music I've heard
The guitar and drum chops make this song incredible but when you throw in the yodeling, keyboards and cool ass flute part. Wow, still amazing after all these years.
I love this song since the first time I heard it back in the early 70's ! I still crank it up when ever it comes on the radio IMO it was one of the first Heavy Metal guitar shredding leads, I ever heard. and it still stands up to this day. A testament to this awesome bands incredible musicality. I 'm so happy this video showed up on my youtube
WOW Almost 50 years later and I get to see the newest version, 2 years later, from the boys.!!!! I first saw the original version, (which you can find on RUclips now), first on Radio, then about the same year, on one of the North American late night Rock shows in 1972/74. I bought the 45 rpm vinyl disc as soon as i found it. I never did find the album. And we thought they were a, Jethro Tull 'want-to-be' band on drugs!! But then I saw them on TV !! The energy level was enthralling and scary !!!
Privileged to have seen Focus twice, in smallish venues, fantastic. I never thought I would ever get to see them live. So grateful they graced my part of the world with their magic. Keep rocking.
Love it or hate it ya gotta admit it was 1 of the most original songs ever 2 get on the radio then and now. Even within the realm of prog it was pretty unique.
I belonged to the Columbia Record Club in Canada and in 1973 they sent me Moving Waves,which was their first album.I used to crank this song at some of my parties along with Slade Alive.
@@FocusVideoArchive Not according to Billboard.Moving Waves came out on Jan 1st of 1973.It peaked at No 8 on the Billboard charts.There is no record of any albums before January of 1973 unless they had an uncharted album.

Classic and influential! Growing up in NY and NJ, this song was a staple on NYC rock stations! Jan Akkerman was considered a 'guitar god' back in the day!
Indeed in fact I was so into him I bought his solo album "Profile" & played it into the ground.... I was so lucky to find another copy in mint condition at some vinyl records store down at Bleecker street in NYC.... a few years back...
Jan still is to us who are still playing. ;) I know of a bar in a small town in between Cleveland and Youngstown that still has the 45 on the juke box and it gets played a lot! ;D Best tour de force of yodeling prog I've ever heard!!!
@@johnlattimer350 I live in the SAN FERNANDO VALLEY suburb of LA and there is a bar where the Hells Angels hang out and the juke box contains the 45. It has been on the bars juke box rinse at least 1987.
I was lucky enough to see these guys in their prime, 1974 up in Michigan...Suzi Quattro was first, then Focus, then the headliner, Aerosmith. What a concert that was! I was 17 at the time. Tickets were about $7.00
I remember when this song came out. 187 BPM - whoa!! Im over 60 now and still listen to this song a few times a week with coffee and a spliff before work. This song and John Mayall Room To Move make a great pair! Thanks for posting this 👍
Been one of my all time favorite songs ever since I first heard it over 40 years ago. Seeing these musical talents still jamming it out makes this Dutch drummer a happy boy.
When I was a little Kid, I use to go to my friends house & we would attempt to do magic shows, & he would always play this 45 single & his old school record player, while doing the magic... awesome to hear this after all these Years... your never to Old to Rock...
Oh wow, I'm so grateful this showed up on my RUclips feed! I'm old enough to remember when this song came out, and it remains one of my all-time favorite songs. It's just too much fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wow...Still Awesome yes they are.. after all these years, they're still alive & kicking..More power to u guys, Focus. Keep on Yodeling & Rockin'.. God bless u all..
As much as I liked hearing it on the radio in the 70's, it's even better to see it. There's a clip on RUclips (Midnight Special I think) with a lot of close-ups of Thijs. To see his wild expressions it shows how much fun he was having. Not to mention watching Jan Ackerman shred. I do agree with many posters that it's a shame most only know this song. Personally, Sylvia has always been my favorite. It was true with many prog bands: the casual fan knows only a song or two, but the true fan knows the whole breadth of the band. Look at Yes-many fans think they started with Going For The One (although they'd probably recognize Roundabout) And I shed a tear for Genesis fans that only know the pop Invisible Touch era, and have never heard Supper's Ready or Carpet Crawlers.
Man , this is going back always!! Haven't heard Focus since the seventies .Hocus Pocus was the first Rock record I ever bought . Yep Jan Akkerman , legendary guitarist for sure.
I was time traveling and jumped to a live performance with this band back in 72, the guitarist was cool, he had licks way ahead of popular music then. Wish i could go back, but i have to use the power for good now. Great to see we both made it from 72, maybe I'll be back again, good luck guys, and it was a great show again, 5 decades, so fresh in my mind, still have a vox vibro pedal from the show, sorry i needed it for something in another time.
Happy birthday Thijs... Many happy returns of the day, born this day 31st March back in 1948...may you have many, many more birthdays...was lucky to see you perform live at our hotel in Dubai late 90's...you wrote me with your own hands your Dutch address which is my prized possession 😉 would love to see you live once again...do come and perform in India... Till then keep yodelling Thijs... God bless you and Focus🎶🎵☮️❤🇮🇳
What a tragedy ... that the entertainment industry no longer has the guts to release music like this.
Long live Focus!
Good thing musicians and audiences no longer need the industry to release and listen to great music anymore.
It’s not the mainstream labels but there’s a ton of amazing prog bands out there
Even back in the day, a number like this would've probably been considered peculiar.

Fractal? Recursive? What a brilliant analogy! Not heard music described like that but it's spot on.

Pre-Speed Metal with yodeling !
After all these years the band still smile when he yodels and sings scat.😄😄😄

That's a very stripped down guitar part which doesnt make me happy at all.

That not Jan Akkerman? Some of his leads sound like Jan and the tone of his guitar is the right tone...
I heard the guitar fukkups, but honestly Jan was kind of loose when I saw them 40 or so years ago
Pierre Van Der Linden, what an awesome drummer, still got the chops. That song never gets old.

At that point in time he was 75-76 years old according to wikipedia. Simply incredible.

Jan Ackerman, These guys were just brilliant in the old days, & this song is still just as good in 2023,, Well done keep up the good work
Ouvi essa banda, pela primeira vez, na década de 70. É emocionante reencontrá-la após longos anos. Eles continuam ótimos. Saudações do Brasil.

An interview I saw, all the band knew they had something special the first time the guitarist ran through that signature riff.
Don't forget the bass , he's a Beast

What about that! Brings back some great memories. Glad they are still performing and still sound great.
Love it. I still share their works with my friends.
First comment in years...music doesn't die..
The world, meanwhile...
Lived in cologne for half a year in 2005, found a guy from Tennessee playing on the street and took lessons from him. Taught me this tune. 👍👍
I listened to this on 8 track when I was a kid. Found it to be one of the most mind blowing experiences of my youth!! Still do actually!!
I just saw them Sunday night in Ft. Lauderdale with Asia. Good Times
An absolute classic.
If ur a teen in the 70s. This is legendary. Long live rocknroll
Saw them a few times back in the 70s and they always were one of my favourite bands. Pierre always was a top drummer and he still is!
