Focus - Essential Music Of The Seventies
Focus - Essential Music Of The Seventies : short review
For 30 years the name of Focus has been synonymous with some of the greatest instrumental rock music ever produced. Hosted by Thijs van Leer this is the definitive guide to the music of a legend in rock. Disc one features rare material from 1971 with the band improvising, rehearsing and refining material for the album that would become Moving Waves. Also included are extended extracts from the Old Grey Whistle Tests in 1972 and 1973 which helped break Focus in the UK. From 1974 there is a rare concert film of the Hamburger Concerto era. The short lived Philip Catherine line up is also featured before we close with the band in action during the triumphal comeback tour of the USA in 2002. Disc two features the whole film of the triumphant return to the US stage by Focus and includes all of the highlights from a magnificent career including Hocus Pocus, Sylvia, House of the King and Focus III. The 48-page full colour book features an in-depth critique of the studio albums with rare colour photographs of the band in the seventies to the present day.
