1. Omega is one of the most successful Hungarian rock bands. Formed in Budapest, Hungary in September, 1962 by the winds player László Benkő on vocal, piano and flute and János Kóbor as a lead singer and rhythm guitarist, they initially performed covers of British and American rock songs, with frequently changing the lineup of members. In 1967 Tamás Mihály came on bass, Gábor Presser joined on keyboards and began writing original music for the band (in 1968 György Molnár became a lead guitarist), releasing three LPs before leaving the band with József Laux, a drummer from 1962, to form Locomotív GT. These first albums were heavily influenced by the music of The Beatles, but they also looked forward to the band's future more progressive, space-rock style. After Presser and Laux's departure, the band found a new drummer (Ferenc Debreceni came from group Neoton Familia) and pointed Benkő as the main keyboardist, creating the current lineup, which has remained the same for over 30 years:
* János Kóbor ("Mecky"), lead vocals
* György Molnár ("Elefánt"), guitars
* László Benkő ("Laci"), keyboards, vocals
* Tamás Mihály ("Misi"), bass, vocals
* Ferenc Debreceni ("Ciki"), drums
This lineup of Omega released ten more albums from 1972 to 1987. Many of these were released both in Hungarian and in English, in the hopes of generating wider interest in their music. However, the contents of the English albums often differed from their Hungarian counterparts, sometimes assembling tracks from several different albums and nearly always changing the song order. Following a few years of inactivity, the band reunited in 1994, with former member Gábor Presser joining them at concerts and contributing several tracks to 1995's Trans And Dance.
Omega has achieved modest international success through releases in multiple languages, and tours in England and Germany in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Their 1969 song "Gyöngyhajú lány" became an international hit, and was later covered by Scorpions on a 1995 live release, with new lyrics and the title "White Dove" (the Hungarian title officially was translated as "Pearls In Her Hair").
Omega's latest (16th) Hungarian studio release is 2006’s Égi jel ("Celestial Sign"), and their latest English release is 1996's Transcendent. In spring and summer of 2006, they performed their "EurOmega 2006" tour, including concerts in Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Germany.

Félbeszakadt koncert
Omega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tékozló fiúnak
Ki elkérte részét
Boldog volt, hogy indulhat
Nagy nap volt, elszállt a többi után
Szí;nfalak közt a szél sem jár
A széksorokba leül a homály
Hat elfáradt vándor megáll útközben
Fejét lehajtva csendesen
Csak egy percet, egy percet pihen
Nagy nap volt, elszállt úgy, mint a tegnap
Koncertünk most félbeszakad
Folytatjuk, ha eljön a holnap
The lyrics of Omega's "Félbeszakadt koncert" tell the story of a concert that was interrupted halfway through, leaving the audience and performers in a state of disappointment and uncertainty. The song begins by referencing a young man who was eager to participate in the event, but it quickly becomes clear that something has gone wrong. The verses paint a picture of an empty venue, with only a few tired travelers stopping to rest in the darkness. The chorus repeats the phrase "Nagy nap volt" ("It was a big day") twice, emphasizing the magnitude of what has been lost.
Despite the disappointment, there is a sense of resilience in the lyrics. The closing line of the chorus, "Folytatjuk, ha eljön a holnap" ("We'll continue when tomorrow comes"), suggests that the performers are not giving up on their dream of performing for a full audience. The song is both mournful and hopeful, capturing the bittersweet emotions that come with an incomplete performance.
Overall, "Félbeszakadt koncert" is a song that speaks to the power of music and the determination of artists to overcome setbacks. It reminds us that even when things don't go according to plan, there is always another chance to shine.

Hallottam hírét
I heard the news
A tékozló fiúnak
about the prodigal son
Ki elkérte részét
who took his share and left
Boldog volt, hogy indulhat
He was happy to go
Nagy nap volt, elszállt a többi után
It was a big day, gone with the others
Szí;nfalak közt a szél sem jár
No wind blows between the walls
A széksorokba leül a homály
The darkness sits in the rows of chairs
Hat elfáradt vándor megáll útközben
Six tired travelers stop along the way
Fejét lehajtva csendesen
Quietly bowing their heads
Csak egy percet, egy percet pihen
Just a minute, a minute of rest
Nagy nap volt, elszállt úgy, mint a tegnap
It was a big day, gone like yesterday
Koncertünk most félbeszakad
Our concert is now interrupted
Folytatjuk, ha eljön a holnap
We'll continue when tomorrow comes

Mindezt 1969- ben... Én akkor még nem is hallgattam a zenéiket. Kiskamaszként slágereket énekeltem a barátnőimmel. Voltak kottafüzetek, meg ilyesmik, és nagyon jól elszórakoztunk az énekléssel. A fene se törődött akkoriban a politikával.

Igy is marad sajnos, mert elment Mecky, de ő halhatatlan s lesz holnap, vagy mégsem - ez felfoghatatlan!
