YOUR EARS AND MIND...on hocus pocus..
Recorded by dear SANDHOOS somewhere close to the stage. Excellent recording with only a few minor disturbances. First: This was already tracked with fade in/outs and a lot of
audience noise cut out. Sometimes the levels were raised up to much on intro talks and the flute opening to "Hocus Pocus". I've retracked again, erased almost all fades and balanced
the recording as much as I could. Also - as the system sound inside the Hirsch is usually muffled - I added a bit of the high end and lowered the deep end. Just a tiny little bit.
While this is still a bit from full audio satisfaction, it sounds now more fluid. Tons of pictures are included as well...

Well, for this great band there's no real introduction neccassary. Finest classic progressive rock from the Nederland! This recording brings back nice memories of a lazy afternoon
relaxing on the lawn of Burg Herzberg about half a year later. I still wonder why I didn't tape them that afternoon...maybe because I'm a sloth sometimes...
Anyway, join in this amazing performance of lots of "old beauties" and some - then - new tracks from the gorgeous catalogue of FOCUS songs...SB.
