I have such great memories sharing this & other prog with my very classically trained mother. She wasn't aware that rock had such elements. Focus, ELP, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, Renaissance, SteelEye Span. Just whole new worlds of music for her !
Sadly, none of my family, many of my school classmates were not "open" to prog. And not until college did I meet one person who was similarly wired to get into prog. And now, many, many decades later my wife is merely tolerant. Glad your mother was "open". Now that I am a recording artist doing synthrock, prog, ambient and fusion rock -- I at least have a couple friends who dig my stuff who live near me. The rest are all internet friends. Here's my own music: www.SourceCodeX.com
Pierre Van Der Linden is classic Focus... but man Colin Allen is like a freight train and keeps this moving. Tasteful chops. Sounds sooooo much better. Thanks!
YOU COMMENTED: "These guys made my youth happy with this extraordinary music, and it will continue to accompany me until the end of my days." AND I TOTALLY AGREE.🙂👍👍
You said..."I discovered them in '77 and since then I haven't stopped listening to them. Sensational musicians. Their best album is without a doubt Focus Con Proby."
Justamente en ese año casi al final de su carrera FOCUS lanza ese disco que fué el último disco de su primera época de los 70. Luego de FOCUS CON PROBY se separan,y salvo la reunión de Van Leer con Akkerman en 1985 y la de FOCUS en 1990, no volvieron a grabar como FOCUS hasta 2002 ya Thijs Van Leer con nueva formación,y de ahí las que siguieron.
Il tema classico che apre la suite HAMBURGER CONCERTO dei FOCUS è di FRANZ JOSEPH HAIDYN tratta dalla corale del Sant' Antonio!!!!!!! Franz Joseph Haidyn dovrebbe essere un compositore classico... del Tardo Barocco circa. Gran bella suite questa dei FOCUS!!!!!!!
YOU SAID "The classical theme that opens the HAMBURGER CONCERTO suite by FOCUS is by FRANZ JOSEPH HAIDYN taken from the Sant' Antonio choir!!!!!!! Franz Joseph Haidyn is supposed to be a classical composer... from around the Late Baroque. This is a great suite from FOCUS!!!!!!!" THANKS FOR THIS INFO. I LOVE THIS FOCUS HAMBURGER CONCERTO RENDITION BETTER THAN THEIR BIG HIT "HOCUS POCUS". IT'S A PROG ROCK GEM FEW KNOW ABOUT.
@@JazzRockFusionSynthesizerMusic What do you mean by by "no clue"? I prefer Bruno Sampas' re-mix with less prominent bass. I suspect this mix has been made for people listening on headphones/in-ear devices that lack the lower-frequency response of a full-range speaker system.
Excellent , Magnific , Amazing , Fabulous , etc ... Great Tribute to the 1974 Hamburger Concert , Perfect Quality ! Jan Akkerman and Band Unmatched !
U R WELCOME. SHARE THIS VID WITH FRIENDS. THANX FOR WATCHING.
It's Focus not Akkerman band.
One of the worlds best groups - saw them in Sydney and was blown away by Jan. Thies is a scream as well
One of the greatest band of the 70’s !!!
Jazz , rock, Renaissance/ Baroque all combined

Yo los descubrí en el 77 y desde entonces no dejo de escucharlos. Músicos sensacionales. Su mejor album es sin duda Focus Con Proby.

Better audio than the Nederpopzien concert, IMO...
@@ytnsanw Thank you.😎👍🎼🎸🎹
Sure wish Jan would have stuck with Focus.
shame Thijs doesn't do the moog solo at the end from the studio version
@@thischannelhasnoname5780 Yes
Did Burt do the mix? Over-prominent plodding bass ruined the balance for this listener. What a shame!
@@howardsherwood8834 no clue

@@HowardSherwood whatever, I still have no clue as to Burt is or anything about the mix other than what is in video description
@@JazzRockFusionSynthesizerMusic I was referring to Bert Ruiter, Focus' bass guitarist!
