Tangerine Dream fans heads up
Posted by: Richard S on 03 August 2015
The good people at Burning Shed sent me a promotional email with this gem advertised:
The first in a series of TD 'official bootlegs'.
Featuring recordings made at Reims Cathedral, France in December 1974 and at the Mozarthalle, Mannheim, West Germany in October 1976, this 4 CD set (with over four hours of music) has been compiled with the approval of Tangerine Dream and features two concerts that were voted as some of the finest bootlegs in existence in a recent poll of fans.
Presented in a clamshell box, the music has been re-mastered from the best available sources and includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay.
Pre-order for 25th September release.
Confusingly this "Bootleg Boxset Vol 1" is different to the previously released set of the same name. The Reims concert is notorious for crowd events that lead to a worldwide ban by the Catholic church. Musically this is Ricochet era live material which I think represents the band at their peak. £25 for 4 CDs; I can't wait.
