A masterpiece that transcends the time and dimensions of this extraordinary band, and thank’s so much , for bringing me the touching memory of Focus ,trough of the outstanding Thijs Van Leer !
What amazing man Thijs Van Leer is. He seems to be able to do it all and he makes this song really good where without him it would be just so so. Brilliant stuff.
This is the very best version of tales out there ... and the DVD this version is from is to die for ... absolutely awesome .... a lot of bands could take a lesson from Uriah Heep on how to sound so good live .
Brilliant and often overlooked Heep track, one that sets off slowly and ramps up to a fully satisfying finish, which in this case is greatly enhanced by Mr Van Leers brilliant flute playing and yodelling A true rock classic
i was there, came from France especially for this magical show, after the show the band were come to talk with the audience ... very good memories ... and a thought for trevor
adding the flute to an already great tune made it a different sounding version,,, but it worked perfectly in concert and it sounds like it belonged in the song from day one.
It takes more than just Hocus Pocus to make something this great. The flute player helps Focus the sound to create this awesome performance. They should put out an album together called Focus on Heep.
Para los amantes del Prog Rock o simplemente del Rock Clásico, está presentación en vivo es "EXQUISITA" y "MAJESTUOSA". Uriah Heep una banda con una trayectoria inmensa. Me agrada el gesto en el rostro de Bernie Shaw cuando termina su parte y puede disfrutar en su totalidad de la magia del maestro Thijs Van Leer, toda una leyenda viviente.
@progjazzfusion I use to agree with you, and was very unhappy with John as a replacement and then with Ken left, I left. However, I have come to love John as a lead singer, and when Bernie Shaw took over he brought in the group to a level of greatness without downplaying his predecessors. Before Lee left the group had over 20 years with the same line up and today, they are even more powerful. I believe the overall performance level has been great and long live heep.
got magicians birthday for xmass 1972 when i was 12 and this tune takes me right back to that day 40 years ago, hey thats a good name for a tune, that day 40 years ago
Boah! What is this? Never seen this channel before. Perfect! Or in german: einfach geil! Should be on CD!!!!!!! Tales, one of the songs I loved a lot back in the eigthies. Long time not heard. still brillant. this version is uaaaahhh, geil!
You need both to get the ultimate ''Focus sound'', Thijs van Leer's classical background and Jan Akkerman's Blues/jazz based guitar skills. Without one of them, Focus as we know it wouldn't have existed the way we know the band today. That's how it is.
14 years old, 1975, blasting this from my bedroom window as i laid in our backyard looking up at the night sky.
,... VERY ROMANTIC, BRO ~ BUT FULLY RIGHT! 😊 ~ I WAS 21 OF AGE AT THAT TIME ~ STILL LOVE THE GROUP/ALWAYS MY NO. 1 🎉❤😊 ! ! ! BERNIE GERMANY 😊
("Sgt.J.").I, Hope ya had a Beer. And, Maybe a joint? 👍✌️😁🕊️
11 yo then, still enjoying......2024.
i have listened to this song hundreds od times over the past 40 years and i still get emotional. Only great music can touch this way

Without one of them, Focus as we know it wouldn't have existed the way we know the band today.
That's how it is.
Those guys are tight. Never heard a yodel rock before, it was surprisingly good.
'Hocus Pocus' by Focus is the most famous yodel - rock song
Uriah Heep No 1
ducaralho, não canso de ver isso
Universal músic ⭐🤩
Thijs Van Leer Monster!!! 👊
Aivan käsittämätön laulaja !? Kiitos Bernie Shaw...
