The definitive moment speed metal was invented (1973)

What you're about to see is the Dutch prog band Focus, best known for their instrumental hit "Hocus Pocus". The story goes that the TV show producers gave them 4 minutes to do a 6 minute song. Instead of editing it--which sane people would do--they jacked the tempo up beyond all human comprehension; I'm not kidding, this is brutal, like they each did an 8-ball of cocaine and slammed 6 double espressos. It should probably be featured on Great Moments In Sports. Anyway, none other than GLADYS KNIGHT introduces them, so pull out that avocado suit and get busy. One of the sickest moments ever in music.
