Focus - Birth

[1blueindigoviolet]

I haven't heard this song for decades, but it started playing itself in my head insistently days ago, and finally drove me to YouTube. It's as good as I remembered!

[ConsumoDiario]

I need to hear the original version of the LP. The guitar solo is diferente at the end. Please Youtube the old one solo.

[SprigganLook]

@ConsumoDiario

Are you italian?

My LP version has the same guitar solo... (sulla mia copia dell'LP l'assolo è identico, non c'è differenza...)

[ConsumoDiario]

No I´m not Italian. My brother bought this record en the 70´s in USA. Still lookin´fot that version.

[uzi4u182]

@jamirosmajicrocks fuck YOU!!!

@jamirosmajicrocks What you said! Pink Floyd are not in the same league as these Dutch Masters.

[DudermanGG]

@gretzinabluehat Take it easy there, buddy. Focus is amazing but let's avoid making such tall statements.

[gretzinabluehat]

@jamirosmajicrocks And before I forget, Van Halen is not the best guitarist to come out the Netherlands........

[blartefax]

The guitarplaying in this tune is just SO good..!

Photo is of the wrong line up, this looks like Cyril Havermans and Pierre Van Der Linden who where bassist and drummer on early albums with Thijs Van Leeh and Jan Akkerman, on this album it was Burt Ruiter and Colin Allen bass and drums. good to hear this again, i still have it on vinyl and on a dvd of them performing it live.

All of Focus's material was great! My curiousity is, can anyone post the different version of this song. (The US Album mix with the different guitar solo at the end?)

When I first heard this, I listened to it about 20 times in a row.

[Colddeed]

I love Focus. I only have 2 of their albums so far. But I'm already addicted.

[Smicz]

Check out the song "Harem Scarem" from the same album.... It's here too!

[RobayoOrtega]

"Birth", "Nacimiento", es otro tema de "Hamburger Concerto", álbum de 1974.

[ardrack1]

[jOntzohr]

This is probably their best song, along with Hocus Pocus

[pablotio]

[cartimand]

Thanks for posting - I've seen Thijs and the guys a few times over the years and this is one of my favourite Focus songs!

[Gnarlita2]

Wow, very cool! Is he still playing out? I actually found this album in the cut-out bin of the record store when I was 15 (1981). I never get tired of it to this day, especially this song--it's lovely to play after a rough day.
