STILL bringing it after all these years! Treasure it folks, sadly, they won't be doing it much longer. Not to sound cryptic, but time will catch us all. Performances like this are moments that us fans are lucky to be able see. When these masters are around this long and able to deliver at a level we could only dream to? Man, this was just plain awesome.

Much respect for Pierre here. I didn't know this guy was this good! I don't hear of him in circles, among affluent drummers who we've all come to know over the decades. It must be, that he is just way underrated!

I heard a fill on the B-side of Moving Waves, that had me confused for YEARS.....And i knew he didn't have 2 bassdrums. So through the years i've heard numerous live recordings of Pierre, and know for a fact he was way ahead of his time as a drummer!! I believe him being classically trained and his love for Jazz, had him take a very unique approach to music.

True, you do not here his name mentioned by anyone at all, but after hearing him playing on the album "moving waves " about 30 years ago I've admired him since and still listen to that album. In the drumming world, he deserves greater recognition. The man's simply brilliant.

Pierre van der Linden is now even more hip than he was back in the day .. what he did at 11:19 onward is beyond belief .. composite rhythm with the hi hats holding the original tempo while tearing apart the rest of the drums with other tempos and time signatures all playing at the same time .. talke about a man with 3 brains here!

In about 2015 Focus came to my local town (with Groundhogs and Wishbone Ash on), I had been a fan since Moving Waves and while Groundhogs were on I slipped out for a beer and who should be in the foyer than Thijs (hoping to sell a few CD's) we must have talked for about 20 mins about music in general and M Waves in particular. I told Thijs of my admiration for their music and Pierre Van Der Linden, Thijs said to come back to the dressing room after the gig for a beer and to meet PVDR. They were great company and Pierre, I spoke to PVDR about my admiration for his drumming and the complexity of the Time Signatures of his drumming which is just brilliant. He was staggered to hear of my praise for his skills. For me he is my top 3 of Drummers (Ginger Baker, Cream- Gavin Harrison, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and himself, in no particular order. Not only is he a humble and very pleasant man but he paid for my beer as well. A top guy!
