OverviewListen icon

Three CDs and a Blu-ray celebrate the 50th anniversary of Focus by documenting in the first three discs (two audio and one video) the concert that the Dutch group held in 2017 at the Theatro Municipal Niteroi in Rio de Janeiro: the leader and founder Thijs van Leer (keyboards, flute and vocals), long-time drummer Pierre van der Linden, guitarist and backing vocalist Menno Gootjes (rejoined in 2010 after a brief appearance in the late 90s) and bassist Udo Pannekeet (in the group since 2016 ) retrace the fundamental stages of the historic prog rock formation such as "House of the King", "Eruption", "Sylvia", "Harem Scarem" and "Hocus Pocus". The bonus disc titled "Completely Focussed", on the other hand, contains twelve untitled tracks that the band recorded during the lockdown.
