FOCUS Live in America

[Kink Rimson]

Anybody else seen this dvd? It's great.

The bass player, Bobby Jacobs, plays a great solo on Harem Scarem, really worth checking out. Reminded me a bit of Jaco (burpy jazz) but more eccentric and angular.

I have a classic Rock DVD featuring live footage of Focus, with Bert Ruiter and Cyriel Havermans playing on most of the tracks.

Their playing is awesome, really tight and melodic.

I have the Focus -The Ultimate Anthology DVD brilliant stuff and killer basselines!
The best part is the Focus line up from the 70s!

I must get my hands on the Live in Amerika DVD!

Which line up, when Focus was formed in 1971 they changed line ups like wild fire. But they caused the most damage in the third line up. I love the "Hamburger concerto" album. And I can also recommend "Live at the rainbow"

First line up.
Thijs Van Leer - keyboards/vocals
Jan Akkerman - Guitar
Martijn Dresden - Bass
