Focus: Focus 50 – Live In Rio (Deluxe Edition + 3 CD) [Blu-ray]

Культовая голландская группа Focus (основной успех пришелся на 1970-1978 годы) выпустит коллекционный бокс "Focus 50 - Live In Rio" в честь 50-летия творческой деятельности). Издание выйдет на Focus Records в составе Limited Deluxe Edition 3CD / 1 Blu-Ray с многостраничным буклетом. Основой для бокс-сета стала запись выступления коллектива в Nitteroi, Rio de Janeiro, в 2017 году. На бонус-CD предлагается перезаписанная версия Completely Focused от нынешнего состава.

Focus50 is a collection to launch the commemoration of Focus celebrating half a century of ground-breaking contributions to the Prog Rock genre. It features 3 CDs and a Blu-Ray of the Live in Rio show recorded at Nitteroi in 2017.

* A fabulous bonus disc named “Completely Focussed”. This is all the Focus numbers 1 through 11 that the current line up re-recorded through lockdown.
* Mixed and Mastered by bassist Udo Pannekeet.
* Liner notes, as always, from the current band, those that work closely with them over the years and exclusive new photos of the band at work and play!
* The collection provides fans an all-inclusive view of Focus. From the astounding live performance to the beautiful family feel of the bonus disc, this album shows Focus at the forefront of the Prog Rock scene.

The discs are accompanied by a booklet with notes by the band, their long serving engineer Geert Scheijgrond and South American tour promoter Marcel Castro with whom Focus have had a long relationship and who brought together the recording of the show in Rio. The booklet also features photos from the Rio concert showing the energetic and fun side of life on the road with Focus together with personal photos from touring and in the studio – a more intimate view of the band away from the limelight. This captures the essence of the Focus family which includes Geert, Marcel and legendary artist Roger Dean, and is incredibly important to the band. The current line-up has been together since 2016 and has a magical chemistry which manifests into electrifying performances.
