FOCUS ~ LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA
SOL & DENEB 15 ~ NETHERLANDS ~ Progressive Rock

Recorded: 2002 Released: 2004

Composer, flutists, keyboards player and bandleader Thijs van LeerFind albums by this artist revived the legendary Dutch band FocusFind albums by this artist in 2002 with three younger musicians: Jan DuméeFind albums by this artist – guitar, Bobby JacobsFind albums by this artist – bass and Bert SmaakFind albums by this artist – drums. The quartet recorded a new studio album (Focus 8Find albums with this title) and later embarked on an extensive American tour, which covered both the North and South continent. This album is a selection of live recording captured at various locations of the South American leg of the tour. The material includes all the fabulous classic material originating from the 1970s albums and can be viewed as a “best of” review of what the original group had to offer. After all Focus managed to create some of the most memorable Prog melodies, and they are all included here (“Syliva”, “Eruption”, “Hocus Pocus”, etc.), performed with freshness and vigor. The sound quality is also surprisingly good and all together this is an excellent tribute to the glory days of this great Prog group. This is a must to all the fans of the group and an excellent introduction to the group illustrious output for those who were too young to enjoy it at the time.
