Hocus Pocus

When I was a boy a brilliant piece of music was recorded by some Dutch musicians called Focus. They called it Hocus Pocus and it was a minor hit. As we approach the 2010 World Cup Nike have launched an advert featuring said song this has produced a flurry of interest and the track has even been played on Radio 1 again. The above video is how the guitarist Jan Akkerman plays it these days (without the yodelling). Many other examples can be found on Youtube. It's a dexterous and powerful but pretty humorous piece of prog rock that won't be to everyone's taste but is well worth a listen.
