Focus - Hocus Pocus (Tokyo 1974 - FULL VIDEO)

Focus is a GREAT band, with a lot of GREAT concerts! But the concerts of 1974, especially the Japan concerts of 1974, was often bad. Well, they played really good together. But the stage lighting in this video is awful, and very dark. The audio isn't that good either. Colin Allen's drums can't be heard at all, only the drum solos can be heard. Not only are this video like that, but all bootleg audience recordings of Focus from 1974 are like that as well. Bad sound, and the drums can't be heard. The 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975 concerts sounded great, and only great, even the poor-sounded bootlegs are great!
I have a theory: The entire Hamburger Concerto tour of 1974 with Thijs van Leer, Jan Akkerman, Bert Ruiter and Colin Allen were very loud. Like, extremely loud. The guitar, organ, and bass was mixed high and loud, and the drums was mixed quite low. Probably because Jan Akkerman didn't like Colin Allen, and wanted Pierre van der Linden back. Pierre did come back a year after, and then, the band sounded as 1971-1973 again. Great and clean. That's really strange. I guess the Hamburger Concerto tour was the loudest concerts of Focus ever, in the history of Focus. (These are personal thoughts by the uploader).
