not hilarious...It is a classic if you went to high school at that time.....Brings memories back for me...This is the live version...Try listening to the one on moving waves
@MetalForTheWin55 Actually, the better term is "Nederlander." I lived in your country for 3 years while I was in the Air Force and assigned to Soesterberg AB,/Camp New Amsterdam from 83-86 (now closed).
I always tried to find out this whacky intro with out of key chords and flattened fifths or whatever, but can't find it out, anyone has tab for THIS intro only...? The rest I know by heart since I was 13 years old... guitar that is, not the yodeling bit...
I don't know, but isn't this the origin of such things that Mike Patton or Les Clayppol does today? Totally whacko and weird but insanely good... love Jans totally OUT playing, sound like he can't control the guitar at all sometimes, but he sure does. Jan shreds like a MF at 3:43 .. ha ha, before shreds was coined.
The first little bit ,What's wrong with my left hand??What ,am I having a stroke or what??It just won't work.WTF......EXCELLENT FUCKIN" TUNE...Thank god there's You Tube so all this great music from yesteryear isn't lost and can still be appreciated
@transploft8 there is another vid here on youtube that explains how the song came to be. It was almost totally spontaneous. They had rented a room in a castle in the Netherlands where many other artists would get together and they worked there on they`re music. Just jamming away, this song happened almost on its own with lots of improvisation on the drums, guitar and vocals
I wish Jan and Thijs could get together again.

Not my favourite Focus piece, but it's great to actually see them perform this -- I still have the vinyl and it's from this concert.
A lot of talent here!
