Thanks for this. I saw them live, I think roughly the same time as this concert, though with a different drummer. Jan Akkerman is a serious guitar talent. Like many bands, Focus had a tendency to play things faster live than on their albums, but for me this goes a bit too far at times. I'm thinking particularly of Sylvia and House of the King.

Perhaps, but there is great feeling of energy in this show.

I had and probably still do have many of their albums. Jan Akkerman was the kind of player I wanted to be when I was young. Virtuoso playing on electric, classical, and lute. Hearing Hocus Pocus on the radio steered me in their direction.

love em. Played the hell out of their vinyl back in the day. Akkerman is a wonderful guitarist/musician.
