I'll explain a bit. Focus were a prog rock band from the Netherlands. They were out there. The thing is this track, "Hocus Pocus" runs over six minutes in its original recorded format. Sugarman's Midnight Special was not always kind to the talent. Focus were told they had to cut their time in half. Some band might have played up to one break and gone home. Instead they played double time and managed to perform the entire track in the time allotted. All these years later it was worth it just to see your face.😀
🤣i dunno how i missed this, maybe 'cause it wasn't played on radio.
I remember this one! It was one of the rock songs back in the day that didn't have singing/lyrics. Billy Preston had one, so did Edgar Winter, and I think ELO had a few. Just nice to have a variety.
A few years ago, the trailer for the Pixar/Disney movie "Onward" used this song "Hocus Pocus" in the music - all of us oldsters recognized it right away! How fun that a movie about magic used the song "Hocus Pocus"! Great reaction! Thanks for posting!
Yodeling. And whistling. And some screaming. Focus was a prog rock band from Amsterdam in The Netherlands. I think they're still together.
This is from a an old TV show, The Midnight Special. The artist were limited to a short time to perform. Focus decided instead of cutting the song, they would speed it up and play the song in it's entirety 😊
Love the Yodaling
This song is the contrast between mankind's desire for peace and love of war. It's a very retrospective piece of music. Just the raw emotion in his voice when he says Bum Ba, get's me every time. Heartbreaking and haunting.
Laughing right along with you! I can remember this song from back in the day, but it makes me laugh and marvel every time I hear/see it.😁❤🎶
I couldn't wait to see your face after the first transition. Priceless!!! That look was so worth it! Great reaction to one of my all-time favorites. (I love goofy stuff!!)
Because of you I’ve explored and discovered a lot of new music!
Me too. LOVE this channel❣️
Different experience for you, right? Now you've heard "yodel-ing." People of different countries and cultures do all kinds of things with sound and vocals. You are really broadening your horizons in your study of music 💕🎶
Tim your reaction is just priceless. You're so much fun 😂🤣😆
They didn't normally play it this fast, they sped it up because of the show they were doing, time constraints. That's what I remember anyways. Love that you did this, you had me laugh crying and that's my favorite emotion. Peace
Focus was a great band! Thank you for making this reaction video ❣️PS they did some medieval sounding and classical sounding music, too. They were very progressive. Did you hear the singer's ancient take on beat-box? Cool.
Brother has hair like Joe Cocker,and crazy eyes like Jack Nicholson in the Shing! Here's Johnny!😲🤣Explosive!
This was great. As far as I know this was their only US hit on the radio. It was big deal when it hit.
There were a lot of bands like this that combined heavy rock with Celtic Olde English and other sounds. Jethro Tull you’ve done before (Aqualung).
He is yodeling, they are a Dutch band. Google it. Your reaction is priceless.
Timothy, that one came out when I was a freshman in high school. It got tons of radio station airplay throughout the rest of the 1970's. First time I've heard the live version, personally I prefer the studio version. You should react to it and let us know which you like best.
This is why I subscribe. Thank you for that reaction. I was 10 when this song came out and I remember how funny I thought it was too, but loved it.
You have to be relaxed to whistle, he put it all on the line! Bravado!
This is old, 😂 , but unique! I always think of Gargamel of the Smurfs, when I see this clip😅😂
Love love love that shirt!
let’s hear YOU try that man 😂
Instrumental! Ahead of their time? Hahah!! This song was quite popular and very different back then!
I'm late to the party, and everybody told you about the time constraints and all the shit. But the real is, you experienced a thing. This isn't a song, it's a thing that overcomes you. It has all the pieces and it gets you. This song is an emotion that Focus forced you to feel. And it's magical - Hence, Hocus Pocus.
Nobody is ready for hocus pocus the first time 🤣
That was the only a song of theirs that was that weird. They were mainly a progressive rock band from the 70’s.
Love your facial expressions!!!
Great reaction 😊😂 I love watching people react to this
I recall watching this, not even certain what program. We all had the same reaction 😃 "what was that"!? But, their instrumentals were fantastic. But, no one noticed with the yodeling, screaming, whistling, and very odd facial expressions.
Rock, yodeling and sprinkle some LSD in there and you have Focus 😂😂😂
That was a yodel.
"We gotta be dreaming, guys."
Yeah, but ain't it a cool dream?
They’re just rockin out! Doesnt have to make sense
Never knew Gladys Knight hosted the Midnight Special. I remember Wolfman Jack. I knew that mentioned Bart Sugarman, but I am not sure if I remember what he looked like.
I never saw this version. I think I saw them in person. 🙄 It was the 70s, man, might have been drunk. Lol. Anyway, had the album. Love this song.
Good Reaction, My Friend but why cut it off 15 seconds early before we could all enjoy their deserved ovation.
The ONLY standing ovation EVER on that programme:)
Yeah, this was a wild song to hear for the first time, I thought it was a joke or something but nope, just a weird song that... I liked... actually.
Oh, well, it was awesome seeing you hear this for the first time!
This was amazing cos it was all about expressing yourself rather than aiming for a hit song, it's so unique and was a hit song too 😊
The only thing to understand is that it is crazy, wild, artistic musical expression!
THIS WAY (CRAZY) AND OFF THE (WALL) FOR ME, BUT I (KINDA) 😉 😉 ENJOYED IT. YES, I (LAUGH) A LOT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. TILL NEXT ⏲️ TIME
Entertainment can be so entertaining when our corporate masters don't control everything.
That was nuts
Haven't heard this since 73
💜💜💜💜
Good One. Great reaction.
You got to do the studio version. The studio version is much better than this.
i love this song
Rock and yodel !
Bonham on guitar
Jan Akkerman😊!
Performed on the Midnight Special, in front of a live crowd.
Those audience members are quite critical, yet the stood for the performance.
Quality 😂
Could this be new wave rock or........
I SENT YOU THIS!!! SO PROUD!!!
Now I need to check if you did the other few I sent you. Well done!!
1973 is where IT'S AT!
Watching your face 🤣😂🤣
I didn't realise that the US didn't have experimental music?
Different......but dissonate
love it
😂😂😂😂
You have a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt!
No wonder I never heard of them......the music is ok tho
In 1973 the guitarplayer, Jan Akkerman, was named best guitarist of the world by Melody Maker, an English music magazine😊!
