I have been listening to TD since 1969, thanks to my older brother, who introduced me to their music. i had wanted to see them for years but they were never close to upstate NY. in 2012, they were going to be at the Montreal international Jazz Festival (only a 4 hour drive away). As soon as i saw that, my wife ordered tickets and we waited for the day to arrive. What an amazing show. We were in the balcony area and the sound was Phenomenal!! It wasn't too long after that that Edgar passed away. I'm glad that wasn't the end of Tangerine Dream.
Saw Sorcerer in 1977. Walked out of the theater, and across the concourse to the record store and bought my first TD album. A tally bought 3 that day, all imports from Europe.
Es ist auch 40 Jahre danach immer noch super, danke Tangerine dream in so langer Geschichte. Viele Herzen habt Ihr angesprochen und tut es immer noch mit immer toller Besetzung - Stilprägend, habt Techno auf Rockjazz-Basis einen unglaublichen Kick gegeben. Schön, wie es Euch gegeben hat und - auch noch gibt!

I had no idea there was so much Tangerine Dreaming on the net. A great deal of it with a special thanks to you Prophet V. This band was, is and always will be one very unique sound. Everyone who I've ever mentioned the band to and was familiar with them liked their sound very much.~~~
In the '80's u did some of what?! Lug around refrigerator size stacks of gear!? When in the eighties pretel?! Did u have any informed logistics on movin' the stuff from here to there or do ya presently have back trouble because of the lack of it!? dude
I bought my first Tangerine Dream LP in the GDR in 1987. I was once in Bologna for 20 minutes while changing trains in 2012. Now I am listening to this and I think it's a good mix between their old 1970's krautrock and their newer 1980's Virgin sound.
How wonderful to see these extracts. I saw them in the UK on that tour and this is the first time I have seen footage from that time since. 37 years- mind boggling.
many thanks for your sharing.....I remember that in those days the dream tangerines came in italy but not napoli as stages of the tour stopped in rome .... I was 15 years old and for at least 4/5 years I listened to their material
Un agradecimiento a aquellos que aportasteis el vídeo. ELLOS..., los Tangerines todos juntos, los originales,tal como sonaban y tal como eran uno de sus mas sublimes conciertos. Todos juntos y con toda su capacidad creativa. Es de agradecer, por ello gracias al creador de este vídeo di Jos.
I was a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s the peak of the hippie era. When TD came out with their music first we kinda looked at each other with wtf is this? Then as we settled down and really started listening properly we were like wow this is way too cool. We fell in love with TD and their amazing unique music. That is TDs everlasting gift to the world. I only listen to their stuff up to 1983 or until Johannes Schmoeling left them. After that I feel TD has veered away from.their trademark sound. Not saying all of the current TD stuff is no good. Some of it is ok. Anyway that's my take on TD, their music and what part it played in my own life. Greetings to all my fellow TD fans.
Hi - first - many thanks for this wonderful clip. I was almost in tears. Just look at what we've lost from the synth world. Just sheer brilliance! I was 20 in 1980 and saw the tangs at Birmingham and The London Apollo. Even met Edgar and Chris at the stage door before the afternoon sound checks. Managed to get me photo taken with them as well. I was in awe - not only were they terrific synth players but their sound system was something else. I have since spent 40 years trying to find old TD concert pics but sadly they are so hard to trace. I do have some but they are from 82 onwards. While I was saddened it never showed it on this clip, but they played the 80 concert behind a fine black mesh curtain. Can anyone else remember Edgar's gothic like silhouette appearing on it when he came out to play guitar. Very impressive effect it was too. They only withdrew the net just before the 2nd encore. I will be playing the clip a few times, as it does bring back a time when synth music was so much better than what's on offer now. More's the pity. Today, I am still a synth head but struggle to find any new synth worthwhile. For me, good synth stopped mid 90's. That said, I will keep looking out - who knows - someone may come along and wow us. God bless you Edgar. Many thanks - boy are you missed. Jim F.
Thanks, so much for those memories, Mate. I was at Oxford New Theatre 1980, and, they were on fire. Yes, they performed behind a black mesh curtain, for most of the gig. Maybe they didn't use it for the European Tour. Can I suggest you have a look at the Quaeschning & Schnauss videos on my channel. Some really nice retro '80's synth music, performed on old analogue synths/sequencers, and drum machines.👍
Coventry - last time I saw the Tangs was 1990 at your Civic Centre. But by then, they were just doing tracks from albums. Looking at these amazing Itilian videos - it fails to capture just what a wonderful feeling there was in the audience before their shows. That I do miss so so dearly. I feel TD had set their target audience perfectly, Just on the edge of rock and playing to the Prog Rock market too. And with three musicians, it also felt just right too on stereos with centre speakers. Edgar was such a master was he not. Anyway, Coventry. These days, I am still heavily into synth but struggle to find any modern pioneers of this genre. For that reason, I tend to listen to (very early - 70's-90's) Kitaro, Schulze, Gandalf, M Garrison, Early Oldfield, Early Jarre, Early Robert Fox, early Vangelis, early Kraftwerk. But on the whole I am a KS die-hard. Great pub where you are - The Great Western - have been there many times - many happy memories from there. I'm now 57 - how old are you? Jim.
I was born in 83 and it still is. Have you heard the State Azure cover of Tangerine Dream? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZRSNy8DcIDk.html or this student accoustic cover? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LXDtG7iZCwA.html enjoy
Schmoellings trip into jazzy tunes...and Froeses sound carpets...and Franke speeds the rythms to correct and fastened sequences...what a great original concertrecording with never seen stage performance ! I guess every fan get wet eyes seeing that...haha,a must seen,more,a document of their abillities,where all can see how fine their playing together was...and how they improvised parts that really was blowing me off my shoes...many told me,waah,that band only work with preproduced tapes ! Now we can see how wrong they were ! If they did,it was much later in the nineties,that some parts were filled in with it...i look very sharp what any musician is doing though...well,me for my part,i love and appreciate their work,wish i had been a part of it even ;)
They were still playing live here... although maybe some of the backing was on tape... who knows... its a bit messy, in the moment, meandering, many wrong notes but alive. A few years later they seemed to have abandoned this approach to have a more polished sound based around short pieces and tunes... perhaps because the reliability of the equipment wasn't quite there. Nowadays you could go out with a laptop and sound controllers and have 99% reliability...
I agree! I have admireded early Tangerine Dream since I first time I heard Phaedra and Electronic Meditation. That and experimental stuff like Throbbing Gristle, Legendary Pink Dots and Brighter Death Now still show the world that there is more possibilities within the realm of music than you can ever dream of.
@@DeiNostri Yeah, me too, I always got attracted by outsider bands, unusual instrumentation, experiments, Theatre plays on stage, by musicians that tried out new ways! Came late for throbbing gristle, because it's such rare stuff! 30 years ago I met a fan of my beloved Joy Division, he also liked TG, and related stuff, but in CH I couldn't find much...here on YT I finally found a lot experimental seventies stuff, sigh...niiice😂🤗😋
When some of the equipment,moog and old syclaviers with sequencer ran hot,often because of diffrent electricity systems,that varied from country to country,in some parts of europe even from city to city,the notes where not coming out accurately...TD had even in studio recorded Phaedra,and you can hear in the first tracks how the sequencer suddenly played faster forwards,just to fell apart,slowing down ! It sounded genially,and noone was expecting that it wasnt part of the compositon...cause it sounded quite psychedelic ! Suppose they were liking that effect too and they left it stand as it was ! In concerts they had often to fight with it,though,even more genially they embedded mistakes and a lot didnt got aware...and the one who did,didnt care,cause the music was great,so or so :)
Fantastic. We will never see the like again. I was privileged to have shook Edgar's hand at the end of the Manchester 86 concert that blew me away. Sadly, the 1990 and 1997 concerts didn't have the same magic for me.
