Focus: Masters From The Vaults

About This Movie

Focus: Masters From The Vaults is a fascinating dive into the creative process of one of the most intriguing bands of the early '70s. Thijs van Leer’s enthusiasm shines as he takes us through rare footage of the band jamming and working out ideas for what would eventually shape the Moving Waves album. The atmosphere is intimate, almost like eavesdropping on a rehearsal, with that characteristic blend of psychedelic rock and improvisational flair. You really feel the raw energy and experimentation that defined their sound during this era. It's not all polished, but that adds to its charm – you get a sense of the journey rather than just the destination.

This title often flies under the radar for collectors, as it was released in limited runs and seems to have a niche following. Many fans appreciate the raw, unedited glimpse into the band's evolution, especially with the extended extracts from the Old Grey Whistle Test, which showcase their live energy. As with many music documentaries, the scarcity and unique content draw in collectors who value the historical context of the band. That said, it’s a bit of a hidden gem, so finding a good copy can take a bit of searching.
