| Focus'impact on Britain was slow to start, but
with each new album and each hard-working tour their success
grew. At the 1972 Reading Festival they stopped the show and
made every other act - some exalted names among them - look
stupid. The same thing happened at the Melody Maker Poll Awards
concert the same year and indeed at every date on their autumn
1972 club and college tour.
1973 began for Focus in just the right way - with their first
British concert tour, taking in 21 concerts in 23 dates. That's
the pressure at which Focus work. In April and May, they
undertook another British tour. The last two concerts took place
in London, the second of which was filmed for an Old Grey
Whistle Test special. This recording was so successful that
"Focus Live At The Rainbow" was released in September
1973. |

Focus have toured America several times with great success. By September'73
both the "Moving Waves" album and "Hocus Pocus" had sold
over a million copies, qualifying the group for Gold Records awards.
