I think Focus were a great band (even with the funny little midgets yodelling )
Don't remember most of it now, but stand outs were..
Hocus Pocus - Focus (My introduction to Jan Akkerman..)
Parisian Walkways - Gary Moore (first "band" i went to see concert i went to see)
Sabre Dance - Dave Edmunds (the reason i wanted to play guitar)
ten men working - neil young ("This notes for you" was the first album i owned)
Strawberry Fields - Beatles
and others...
That tape was my main influence growing up.. I'm now going to spend the rest of the morning trying to remember what else was on it..
Great Band but didn't that Les Paul sound horrid in that live show recording?

We came second, which sounds OK on the face of it, but IIRC the winner was a guy who just sat on stage and washed his socks in a bowl of water.
i met him a few years ago when he visited Line6 UK (he was using Pod Pro rack units).
Thijs and Pierre are still there from the old line-up and are still amazing players..
Udo and Menno [bass and guitar] are jaw dropping players
I was lucky enough to be in the same hotel as them before and after CttE so the DC Band and Focus became good friends..
they're still recording too.. Focus 11 has just come out and I know they're working on Focus 12 this year..
so they're not standing still either..
awesome band.. great guys to be around.. lots of fun..
