Hey Ted

Ted here is a old one I use to have the album all those years ago.

Focus - Hocus Pocus (Live)

HI Spanky,

Yeah I have a cut from that DVD on my site. That was filmed for the Old Grey Whistle Test on the BBC. I loved Focus and we used to do a couple of their songs with my band from 1978, Dual Wind.

I did see them live once at Central Park. they were excellent. I have most of their albums up to Hamburger Concerto and even have a Brainbox album, which was the Dutch band Jan Akkerman and Pierre Van Der Linden were in prior to Focus.

And here's an example of it's a small world. The bass player from my band Dual Wind, named Raoul Walton, curently plays in Europe with the Thomas Blug band. And guess who the keyboardist is ? Thyss Van Leer from Focus. They do some of the Focus songs in their show. I have their DVD - it's pretty good.

thanks for posting that !

Here's the Thomas Blug band doing Hocus Pocus . The sound isn't so great.
