Saw these guys in ‘73 open for Joe Cocker. Joe got to drunk to sing (only did one song) and they came back out and jammed for almost 3hrs. Fantastic band🤘.

[lulutacles]

this easily remains one of the absolute greatest prog rock tracks ever written

[lesliewarren]

Can we all take a moment to acknowledge how awesome this song is... way ahead of it’s time!!

[andrejtaneski]

Notice how the guitarist takes over the high notes at 4:01. Just awesome

[WilliamAndrews]

this song is so hypnotising, it could go on for hours and I could just watch it endlessly

[creepyloner]

when you've got more than four and a half minutes to play hocus pocus.

Aqui no Brasil o sucesso foi estrondoso entre os amantes da boa música. Tenho 66 anos e lembro muito bem da banda. Lastimável que não tenhamos mais músicos com estes. Fantástico.

Thijs van Leer is such a talented and amazing vocalist. I love his scat and operatic styles. Between him and Jan Duméet, this is the meaning of progressive rock. To use so many different styles of music and mix them together in one bowl to make a fantastic cake for us to devour.

[stephkof]

Only man in the world that can sing this song. One of a kind. Great guitar too.

[andrewthorogate]

I remember my late father playing me this album many years ago, it took me a while to understand it! i got there in the end lol thanks Dad xx

Hats off for the drummer. Clean, powerful, understandable, driving. Plays so well to serve the music.

[nicolesoukalova]

Just "perfect" - Drummer, lead-guitar player, and Thijs van Leer: without any words!!!!

[davidcraig]

Saw live in 70's in Sudbury, blew me away!

[arcticmorning]

work of art... amazing... rock from the past will never ever be duplicated...

[SwissKingPin]

I never get bored listening to that flute solo at the beginning... magical.

[jonihler]

Been jamming to this awesome song for nearly 50 yrs, and I'll be jamming to it still when my body can't move to it anymore.

[donnyb]

I was awetruck the first time I heard it; so odd and yet so captivating. These diverse virtuosos have such a unique blend of musical styles; they are timeless!

[METALDKNO]

Truly magnificent musicians... Respect.. Love this song.
I listen mostly to metal, death, black and what not.. But this is great as hell.

[ajedromano]

Definitely a master piece, it looks like the guitarist could play those riffs while sleeping... It seems so effortless for him playing those insane riffs... 👏

[SocalWebTech]

They must've had SO MUCH FUN doin' this over the years! G R E A T!
