Details

Date:April 2nd, 1975
Site:Royal Albert Hall (London)
Composer(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Michael Hoenig
Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Michael Hoenig

Notes: Tangerine Tree II (consisting of volumes 9 to 16) was opened with a complete double CD version of the famous London Royal Albert Hall concert of April 2nd, 1975, that had been broadcast by the BBC radio. The sound quality is nearly perfect, as it was mastered straight from the original BBC tape, plus it has the missing "finale" from the first set, taken from a first generation audience recording. This release is unique in terms of the fact that it features one of the very few concerts where Michael Hoenig replaced the absent Peter Baumann. Musically it isn't a million miles away from Rubycon (1975), and thus Tangerine Tree Volume 9: London 1975 is a superb companion to that official studio album.

Details

Date:October 25th, 1981
Site:City Hall (Newcastle)
Composer(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling
Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling

Notes: While Tangerine Tree I was somewhat focused on the mid-seventies, the second part, consisting of Volumes 9 to 16, features, among others, three complete concerts of 1981/1982. The first one, as Tangerine Tree Volume 10: Newcastle 1981, was part of the 1981 British Isles tour that took place between October 15th and 29th and included 15 concerts. In comparision to the European tour in January/February of the same year (see Tangerine Tree Volume 14: Paris 1981) the set was nearly totally rewritten. Only the last twenty minutes of the first set had survived, now being the closing part of the second main set, having the opening minute of Remote Viewing inserted before Force Majeure. The second set opened with an extended version of Mojave Plan from the forthcoming album White Eagle (1982), at the time unreleased. The first set consisted of completely new material, most of it still officially unreleased. Surprisingly, from today's view, with the exception of the short excerpt from Remote Viewing only the two encores Kiew Mission and Choronzon (the latter in a drastically extended version) were taken from the then current studio album Exit (1981).

Tangerine Tree volume 11: Hamburg 1978

Design: Maff, Graphics: Marko Marin

Live, released July 2002

Tracks

  1. Hamburg 78, Part One 43:12
  2. Hamburg 78, Part Two 9:20

Total running time 52:32

Details

Date:February 24th, 1978
Site:Audimax (Hamburg)
Composer(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Steve Jolliffe
Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Steve Jolliffe, Klaus Krüger

Notes: The 1978 studio release Cyclone was a somewhat controversial album with its use of vocals by Steve Jolliffe. But it also had its good moments, and on the European 1978 tour there were a few remarkable performances. One of these events, the gig at the Audimax in Hamburg, is presented on Tangerine Tree Volume 11: Hamburg 1978. Up to now no complete recording of this show has appeared among collectors, thus this release features the second set and the encore of this concert only. There is no sign of Bent Cold Sidewalk or Rising Runner Missed By Endless Sender here, but parts of Madrigal Meridian can be heard during this widely improvised gig.

Date:October 31h, 1982
Site:Fairfield Hall (Croydon)
Composer(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling
Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling

Notes: Tangerine Tree Volume 12: Croydon 1982 presents the Croydon concert of 1982, being part of the European tour that took place between October 17th and November 25th, 1982. During this tour Tangerine Dream's famous concert at the London Dominion Theatre was recorded and released as Logos Live in the same year. That album became one of the most-loved live recordings among TD fans, but only the opening of the first set and the major part of the second set plus one of the three encores made it to the record. One possible reason for this might be that much of the unreleased material was used for the soundtrack music of the movie The Keep that was planned to be released in 1983, while other material, like the excerpt of Mojave Plan and the two encores White Eagle and Midnight In Tula, had already been released on the studio album White Eagle (1982). The Croydon concert now is a complete audience recording of very good sound quality, specially remastered for release as most of the other volumes of Tangerine Tree. The London concert mentioned above was later released as Tangerine Leaves Volume 1: London 1982.

Tangerine Tree volume 13: Germany 1976

Live, released July 2002

Tracks

  1. Mannheim 76, Part One 21:28
  2. Mannheim 76, Part Two 29:37

Total running time 151:48

Details

Date:October 31st, 1976 & January 24th, 1976
Site:Mozartsaal (Mannheim) & Universität (Saarbrücken)
Composer(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

Notes: Tangerine Tree Volume 13: Germany 1976 is an exception to the rule that each volume features one single soncert. Due to limited disc space, the Mannheim concert of 1976 did not fit on one single CD-R. Instead of releasing two half-empty discs, the 1976 concert in Saarbrücken was added. Thus, this Volume presents two concerts taken from audience master tapes. Saarbrücken was the second gig of the 1976 European winter tour that took place between January 23rd and February 11th, 1976. The Mannheim concert was performed during the European tour from October 20th to December 1st, 1976. Like most other concerts of that era, both gigs consist of mostly improvised material, including some themes known from other concerts.

Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling

Notes: In winter 1981 Tangerine Dream toured Europe, performing a total of 18 gigs between January 20th and February 12th in cities of Germany, Italy and France that were not included in the autumn 1980 tour. The playlist was essentially the same as of that tour – only the first set was edited to include a new composition (commonly known as Thermal Inversion) that has not been officially released so far, though the beginning can be heard at the end of the track Calymba Caly as released on Antique Dreams.

Details

Date:August 31st, 2001
Site:Most Swietokrzyski (Warsaw)
Composer(s):Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling, Paul Haslinger, Jerome Froese
Musician(s):Edgar Froese, Jerome Froese, Gerald Gradwohl, Iris Kulterer, Jacqueline Hechavarria

Notes: On the last day of August 2001 Tangerine Dream performed a one-off concert, titled 'The Most Beautiful Rock for Peace' at the Swietokrzyski Bridge in Poland's capital Warsaw. The title of this concert is a play on words, given the fact that the word 'most' means 'bridge' in Polish language. Another fact is that only eleven days later terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center in New York, proving that Peace on Earth is still a utopian idea.

Tangerine Dream performed with the line-up Edgar Froese, Jerome Froese, Gerald Gradwohl and Iris Kulterer, already known from the London concert earlier that year, introducing Jacqueline Hechavarria on percussions. TD focussed their performance on the compositions of the then new album The Past Hundred Moons, surprising with some old classics like Force Majeure and Going West and, as an atmospheric introductory piece, Between Realities, played live for the first time.

As bonus material the disc contains excerpts from a press conference that took place the day before the concert. Most of the interviewers' questions and Edgar Froese's answers are in German language.
