That brings back memories. Probably the best of the "classical rock " bands imo.Moving Waves was a great album at the time. I went to see them live but unfortunately Jan Akkerman (the guitarist) had left a few days before and was replaced by an acoustic classical guitarist, which didnt work at all, so the concert was crap.

Can remember learning (with dogged determination) to play that when I was 14. Where have the years gone ? ::) :'(

Aw , the memories.......
Seen them at the old Greens Playhouse in Glasgow wayyyyyyy back in '73  , 37 years ago where has it gone....... :'(
Jan Ackerman was the guitarist and I remember sitting through many unknown songs desperatly waiting for Hocus Pocus and when it came the WHOLE of the Playhouse went absolutley mental and if you were ever blessed with being in the " Greens " you'll never forget the atmosphere when it jumped , and I mean literally when the circle jumped.
A great song and still love it today :y
