Having seen Focus live , I can attest to their impeccable talent. It was very humid that night and there was at one point radio interference during a long stretch of instrumental folly (Anonymous I believe) , but funnily (or maybe a ghost), the radio was playing classical music. To which van Leer briefly stated: two for one ! 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

a simple question: which version do you prefer? as an explanation: the band was only given 4 minutes of time to play their 6:38 long song, so they had to significantly speed it up.

studio version:


live version:


I prefer the live version, by the way. seeing the band shredding and Thijs van Leer doing his thing is just so entertaining
