Thijs Van Leer was a genius. If he were English he would easily be in the pantheon of the greatest progressive rock names of all time, alongside legends like David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Ian Anderson, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Jon Anderson or Peter Gabriel. Anyway, I consider him magnificent.

[@fareedaramdial7000]

one of the greatest guitarists of all time ,nobody mentions him as one of he best...he needs to be recognised jan akkerman

[@shanksworthy]

I swear, every time I discover a new performance of Hocus Pocus it's played faster than the last.

[@garyadkins4194]

I am 68 years old now & we still play Hocus Pocus!

The US had never been exposed to FOCUS....Thijs Van Leer and Jan Akkerman were off the charts with talent.

[@suppiluiiuma5769]

Ahh, the Dutch. Probably the weirdest nation on earth, which is no bad thing, and also one of the coolest. Thanks for giving us Focus.

My 16 yr old self just about fell out of my chair when I found this video - Bookmarked and email sent to the author of this page. LOVE it !!

[@iggyfritz7150]

Their talents were completely madness riding the wave of genius. No musicians today could hold a candle compared to Focus.

[@Aristotelezz]

It's very difficult to say what is the best Dutch band ever because making music is not a sport. But if I get forced to name one it will be Focus.

[@prog1962]

Hello Rolling Stone magazine..wake up and listen to this incredable group..Jan Akkerman in the guitar list..probably under Keith Richards and Lou Reed😅

[@thomastunezz9459]

I remember seeing this as a kid. Thijs Van Lee looked like an escaped lunatic from a mental institution. Pure GENIUS!!!

Jan Akkerman at his best. His final dark jazz notes are out of this world. Pure genius.
