The Dutch Prog Rock band live in the USA. For 30 years the name of Focus has been synonymous with some of the greatest instrumental rock music ever produced. The news that Thijs van Leer had reformed Focus, and the band would be appearing live in the USA, was greeted with excitement by classic rock fans who flocked to the Patriots Theatre New Jersey to celebrate the return of a legend in rock.
This stunning film of the triumphant return to the US stage by Focus includes all of the highlights from a magnificent career including Hocus Pocus, Sylvia, House of the King and Focus III. Also featured is previously unreleased archive material of Focus from 1973.
