    Their guitarist is a true musician. He gets his shoulders into it, and his facial expressions mirror the tone of the lick he's playing. He truly is expressing emotion through his instrument and that is the top of the music mountain.

    Why this is now missing from both the cd and download versions of Focus 3 is a mystery… anyway, great piece from the days when prog was prog.

    Quite a fast but 'straight' performance. Other live versions seem to have a very different rhythm.
