Tangerine Dream - Tangerine Tree [complete] Part 2 of 8: vol. 13 - vol. 24 of 92

Tangerine Tree was a project from 2002 through 2006 that was dedicated to the collection, preservation and distribution of unreleased concerts and other audio material by the band Tangerine Dream. The creators of the Tangerine Tree project received permission from Tangerine Dream to release the collection on a strict non-profit basis. Several of the Tangerine Tree volumes have been used as the basis for official Tangerine Dream releases. The project collected just under 300 hours of material (291:39:26).

Material was collected from audience recordings, soundboard recordings, recordings of radio and TV transmissions and in some cases the purchase of studio masters. Only recordings of a high quality and a unique nature were considered for the core Tangerine Tree volumes. These recordings were professionally re-mastered and released on CD-R and accompanied by high quality artwork for the CD labels and case liners.

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.

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.

Recording date August 31st, 2001
Recording site(s) 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.

The third disc includes the four encores, one of them being a new composition, titled The Bridge Song, that was especially composed for this venue and features Polish singer Kasia Stankiewicz on Polish vocals. 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.

Recording date January 31st, 1980
Recording site(s) Palast der Republik (East Berlin)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling

Notes
Playing two concerts on January 31st, 1980 to a crowd of approximately 3,000 people in the 'Palast der Republik' in East Berlin, this legendary performance 'behind the Iron Curtain' was the first live appearance for Johannes Schmoelling, taking place just a few weeks after he joined Tangerine Dream in late 1979 and a few months before the release of the album Tangram. The concert was part of the 22nd 'DT64-Jugendkonzert' series (youth concerts organized by the DT64 radio station), and the complete evening show was broadcast on East German radio in February 1980 (and again later in 1989).

The music featured on Tangerine Tree Volume 17: East Berlin 1980 is for the most part still unreleased officially, with only the first twenty minutes of the second set being more or less identical to Quichotte, Part Two as released on the album Quichotte (1980) of the GDR label Amiga and its international re-release Pergamon (1986). The source of this volume was a tape copy taken directly from a reel-to-reel master recording which no longer exists.

This release replaces several bootleg versions taken from this broadcast recording that emerged on the market during the eighties and nineties (including the vinyl release Staatsgrenze West and several releases on MC and CD-R).

Recording date April 9th, 1977
Recording site(s) Place des Arts (Montreal)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

Notes
During Tangerine Dream's North American Encore tour of 1977, two of their concerts were thankfully broadcast over radio. The first was the concert at the Washington Lisner Auditorium on April 4th (see Tangerine Tree Volume 4: Washington 1977), and Montreal Palace des Arts followed soon after on April 9th. The still existing CHOM-FM radio station aired the complete show, and despite some minor technical flaws (and the disturbing comments from the CHOM-FM presenter during some of the tracks), Tangerine Tree Volume 18: Montreal 1977 is able to present another outstanding performance from the Froese/Franke/Baumann line-up.

The quality of the music alone would justify an official release as it has all the trademarks which made Encore such a fan favourite. For the North American tour, Tangerine Dream always began their concerts with variations on Cherokee Lane and Monolight, which were then followed by music which was, for the most part, completely improvised. The band also appeared onstage with Laserium, an outfit that produced laser light spectacles. Laserium effects were used again for the Cyclone tour in the following year.

Of all the shows Tangerine Dream performed during this tour, nine audience recordings and two radio broadcasts are known to exist; all show a group at their creative peak.

This album has been officially re-released as Montreal - April 9th 1977.

Recording site(s) Palais du Sport (Paris)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

Notes
During 1976, Tangerine Dream performed at least 40 live concerts, of which around 25 fan recordings are known to exist. the gig at Paris Palais du Sport ranks among the very best of them. Each concert still sounded unique as all of the music performed was completely improvised (despite some occasional familiar themes that occurred here and there), but few of them equal the sheer brilliance of what was played during this particular evening.

From dreamy, atmospheric passages to wild, uncontrolled screaming and shouting accompanied by music that can almost be described as Punk or Heavy Metal (as can heard on the second track), the Froese/Franke/Baumann line-up played an awesome concert with great variety. Tangerine Tree Volume 19: Paris 1976 presents this concert remastered from an audience recording master tape of excellent sound quality.

Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Jerome Froese, Zlatko Perica, Emil Hachfeld (†)

Notes
Tangerine Dream's gig in June 1997 was the last concert of their European tour in spring 1997. The first set of that show (the so-called 'Vintage Set', consisting of older compositions for the most part) was broadcast by the Polish FM radio. A remastered version of excellent quality of this broadcast can be heard on Tangerine Tree Volume 20: Warsaw 1997. The track list is slightly different to the set that was recorded during the London concert in November 1997 and released officially as Valentine Wheels. Thus, the Warsaw record is a nice counterpart to the album Tournado, which features the second set (the 'Modern Set') of the tour, as recorded in Zabrze in April 1997.

Recording date October 20th, 1992
Recording site(s) Fox Theater (Detroit)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling, Paul Haslinger, Jerome Froese, Linda Spa, Jimi Hendrix
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Jerome Froese, Linda Spa, Zlatko Perica

Notes
Between October 4th and November 1st, 1992, Tangerine Dream were 'on the road again', giving a total of 22 concerts in North America to promote their new album Rockoon, released by Miramar earlier that year. Of this tour 14 concerts exist as audience recordings, and without a doubt Detroit October 20th, as featured on Tangerine Tree Volume 21: Detroit 1992, is the best of them.

The band were performing with a new line-up (including Zlatko Perica on guitar), as Paul Haslinger had chosen to leave the band in 1991 to pursue a solo career. The advertisement for the Rockoon tour showed Klaus Krüger as part of the line-up, who was best known amongst Tangerine Dream fans for playing percussions on the albums Cyclone, Ages (both 1978) and Force Majeure (1979), as on the 1978 European tour. Ultimately however he did not participate of the 1992 tour, most probably due to musical differences.

The music played during the tour was a nice mixture of track mostly taken from Melrose (1990) and Rockoon (1992), and previously unreleased pieces subsequently chosen for the 220 Volt Live album which Miramar would release a year later. Each gig ended with an instrumental cover version of the Jimi Hendrix song Purple Haze, including sound bites of Daffy Duck which somehow didn't make it into 220 Volt Live.

Recording date August 16th, 1975
Recording site(s) Theatre Antique (Orange)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

Notes
Tangerine Tree Volume 22: Orange 1975 presents another unique TD gig from the mid-seventies. Despite the overmodulation that is present during parts of this audience recording, the concert at the Orange Theatre Antique, August 16th, 1975 is surely one of the most fascinating documents of the Froese/Franke/Baumann era that still remains unreleased officially.

Tangerine Dream were performing in a huge ancient Roman theatre built in the late 1st century BC, with a seating capacity of almost 5,000 people. It must have been an inspiring venue, as the music itself is quite unlike anything heard before or since. Although the first few minutes are in no way different than the other performances of the time, the slow and atmospheric mood quickly changes into what can best be described as 'dangerous'. A couple of seconds later and suddenly all hell breaks loose; never have Chris Franke's sequencers been as fast or aggressive as on this awesome recording, and all three of them perform a completely stunning electronic masterpiece which seperates the countless imitators from the original that is Tangerine Dream.

Recording date November 29th, 1973
Recording site(s) Deutschlandhalle (Berlin)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

Notes
Tangerine Tree Volume 23: Berlin 1973 presents Tangerine Dream's concert at the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, that took place on November 29th, 1973. A few days later the band went into studio to record Phaedra, the album which earned TD widespread recognition as pioneers of electronic music. However, the music performed at this concert has little to do with their breakthrough album, and is much more reminiscent of earlier recordings auch as Alpha Centauri (1971), Zeit (1972) or Atem (1973).

Nonetheless, it is another fascinating concert which shows the improvisational skills of the Froese/Franke/Baumann line-up, and their urge to explore new musical territories. This recording was broadcast by the German RIAS Radio station and is an important document of the early years of Tangerine Dream, especially as few unreleased recordings still exist from that era.

Recording date June 6th, 1986
Recording site(s) Irvine Meadows Amphitheater (Laguna Hills)
Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann, Johannes Schmoelling, Paul Haslinger, W.A. Mozart
Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Paul Haslinger

Notes
Just a few months after Johannes Schmoelling had decided to leave the band to pursue his own solo career, Tangerine Dream were on the road again with a new line-up: Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, and a young Austrian musician named Paul Haslinger.

In 1986 they toured extensively in Europe and the United States to promote the new release Underwater Sunlight, and gave a total of 45 concerts of which most of them exist as fan recordings. The music heard on Tangerine Tree Volume 24: Laguna Hills 1986 features a complete audience recording of the concert held in the Irvine Meadows Amphiteater in the city of Laguna Hills, California on June 6th. As with most of the fantape recordings that exist from the North American 1986 tour, the crowd can be heard shouting and talking in-between the music.

Listening to this audience master tape recording under headphones gives a good impression of what it was like to be there, standing in the audience and watching the show with other Tangerine Dream fans. The music is an excellent mixture of previously released tracks mostly taken from albums like Le Parc (1985) and Underwater Sunlight (1986), but also features material which so far has yet to be released officially.

This release made the bootleg Sonambulistic Imagery obsolete, featuring the same concert.
