Wat een Band en dat al 50 jaar lang altijd zeer goed de concerten. Het maakt ze niet uit of ze in een Cafe staan te spelen of op een Festival, ze zijn er voor het publiek en dat laten ze smullen van hoogstandjes in de muziek. Heerlijk om te zien en te horen. Nog vele jaren erbij voor de liefhebbers van goede live muziek.

12:55 Who's Calling 70s style Context: That piece was written and performed by Thijs Van Leer and Jan Akkerman in a sort of obscure duo album done in 1985 ironically called "Focus". The piece was done with synths and acoustic/electric guitar and synth accompaniment plus chorus, and it was slow paced and filled with like 10 variations, with a long duration (like 18 minutes long). This version makes it sound like what could have sounded like in the prime time of the original Focus.

Wat een geweldig concert! Fijn om te zien dat Focus geen verlopen band is! En dat na inmiddels nu 51 jaar! Thijs en Pierre zijn nog steeds top! Menno en Udo zijn eveneens geweldig!, Heb lang,lang geleden Focus gezien in toptijd. Maar anno 2020/2021 zijn ze niet minder als toen. Integendeel zelfs! 4 klasse muzikanten! En Menno is een geweldige gitarist, die niet onder doet voor de altijd veel geprezen Jan Akkerman. Menno wordt volgens mij steeds beter! Geweldige band, hoop ze gauw weer tezien in Nederland, in het theater of festival. Na al die Corona toestand, zou dat super zijn!

Wat een gaaf optreden! Het bewijs dat de muzikaliteit van TvL geniaal is en dat JA daar veel op leunde, met zijn onovertroffen gitaarspel destijds. Om in de voetsporen van JA te treden is een bijna onmogelijke opgave, maar Menno Gootjes lukt het geweldig! Hij speelt fantastisch! Jammer dat TvL en JA in onmin leven. Hoe prachtig zou het zijn als ze nog iets muzikaals samen zouden doen? Geweldige band! PvdL is nog altijd een top drummer en de bassist is retestrak! Oh ook even kudos voor de videomaker; geweldig in beeld gebracht! Ook topgeluid trouwens! Heerlijk van genoten!

Ik ben heel blij met dit soort opnames, omdat ik zelf niet meer naar versterkte muziekoptredens ga. Tijdens de zachtere delen worden je afgeleid door het geouwehoer van het publiek. En later tijdens het concert wordt het geluidsvolume zo extreem hoog dat je onmogelijk nog kan horen wat er wordt gespeeld. Daarom ben ik zo blij met opnames zoals deze.
