❤ I have the honor of putting this first comment, to honor and venerate the most important and greatest band in progressive rock... long live Focus ❤
I began to listen when I whas fourteen and now I am sixty two still listening the best progressive rock ever made . Genius!
🎸 I saw Focus back in the 70s a couple of times and love them even now that i myself am 70.
Jan Akkerman is one of the best guitarists in the world.
Real musicians. Love the band. The Dutch artistic heritage is very strong, Rembrandt etc.
Imagine being a band with all your gear set up in that lovely house and being able to play and record at any time❤
What a Fantastic Progrock Band in the early 70,s🎸❤️🎸
Had the privilege of seeing Focus three times in the seventies, an outstanding band producing outstanding music. Still going as well but with only two of the original members.
Only the best band ever!! All amazing musicians.
Love this band, and loved playing covers of their music when I was in a band. Definitely not a boring 3 chord progression in their music. Challenging and rewarding.
A part of my 70s-
some timeless classics which bring back fond memories
Jan Ackerman 👌🎼
I remember being impressed by Jan Ackerman when I saw Focus in the Marquee around 1970.
Jan blows the so called top ten away 🎼👌
Seen them here in Scotland 2022 Fantastic even given they are now in their seventies.
In kasteel Groeneveld zaten in die tijd Karel Appel en Haary Mulish meen ik en dat soort van figuren, het was een soort kraakpand. Later werd het 'in ere hersteld' als museum met dure antieke kamers, waar men in die tussentijd er op los geleefd had. Nu is het een museum met restaurant. Overigens een prachtige docu met een prachtig overzichtsbeeld van Focus music.
Thank you for uploading this amazing compilation, a true treasure trove🎸🤘🏻
And Jan’s sense of time is like a machine, he is spot on no matter how complex the passage. And I loved his solo work too, a true genius.
Genios totales!!!
There's something special about the '70s dutch prog bands... Focus, Trace, Supersister... But Focus is the best of the bunch.
I get so excited when i'm listening to them that I have to stop whatever i'm doing.
Few other bands and musicians have that effect on me (Allan Holdsworth, Brand X...)
Totally shocked that I am increasing the number of comments by 50%. Only lucked into this as I was watching the Focus 2 rehearsal clip and this popped up.
Finally! I get to hear the entire session. Outstanding!!
Esto de lo más maravilloso que he visto en el progresivo ❤🎉
The fact that this has less than 500 likes is heartbreaking
This was a lucky stumble or maybe it wasn't as I resort to Focus moving waves every now and then. Best opening I'd seen and great filming in a relaxed grove. Thanks for sharing and making my day 😊
Focus is definitely one of the most underrated band of the '70s
Y Wisbone Ash
@@manuelcaldicot852 Indeed my friend
Too far ahead of their time. Geez, the world was still in love with led zeppelin and grand funk back then, and still nursing a Beatles hangover......but these guys paved the way for the decades to come 👍
I have a good Focus story : Capitol Theater in Montreal summer 1973. Return to Forever opening (!!!) . It was an extremely humid night and at one point through one of the extended Anonymous parts , interference from a classical radio station was coming through on Akkerman's amps, a soprano was blasting an aria . Jan, without missing a beat, started kicking the amp, and when nothing happened , Thijs interjected "two for the price of one"! The audience cracked up in laughter.
I recall Rory Gallagher picking up the radio playing at a Crystal Palace garden party in 1971. If I remember correctly it was the football results. Crystal Palace Bowl was of course right next to two huge radio transmitters visible from all over London.
Definitely go very good together : )
Thanks for putting this together, great to see them. The only notable omission is their famous performance of Hocus Pocus on Midnight Special in 1973
Jan was far and away the greatest guitarist to grace the planet.
still good love it
Hace dias compre hocus pocus , the best of Focus , Jan ,Thijs , grandes musicos
I can finally see some of the drawbar settings and put them like Thijs did on my old Hammond. Might sound great in church. Actually this whole song sounds very much like serious worship song.
Focus:..de lo mejor del rock progresivo.!!!
Focus and Ekseption are probably my favourite Dutch bands
Mine too.
Here is a truly magical album by another Dutch band who only made two. You're welcome! ruclips.net/video/bb2Hitx2uAU/видео.html
❤ it … ❤❤❤
Really really, really really really groovy.
Genius!
Obra prima
Sim❤
sounds like Jan is riffing on "baby please don't go" at the start. Focus is criminally underappreciated in the US, Akkerman especially.
Love this ❤
Obrigado
Tenho focus 3 ship of memories os dois prensagem japonesa(mini LP)e hamburger concerto caixa acrilica prensagem alema tres fabulas saudo desde brasil
Magnificent
never jump and run with a turtle in your hands
Part of it is silly prog rock, but Jan Akkerman makes it gutsy and cool. I am still impressed by the musicianship, unsurpassed really. .
no silly prog Here
@@SilvioNapoliiu5SPAI completely agree!
@@SilvioNapoliiu5SPAnot silly at all !!
@@SilvioNapoliiu5SPA Thijs is intentionally silly at times, but it's joyful. Akkerman, holy cow. one of the all time best. few on his level back then, technically, or today, melodically.
❤❤❤
Jan is the Greatest Guitarist ever. Just so different.
Zer gút muzsik!!!
🎼🎶🎶🎶🎸🎹🥁🎸🎶🎶🎶
Philip Catherine is good too.
Genial la pintura y la gran música de fondo
