Tangerine Dream - Brussels 1976 (1976)

In 1976 Tangerine Dream went back into the studio to record the follow-up to 'Richocet', and so with a new studio album to promote in 'Stratosfear' they embarked on a European tour, taking in Germany, France, the UK, Spain and Belgium, with the band performing live in Brussels on 09 February 1976. Part of this concert had been available on the bootleg CD 'Danger Live' since 1992, but the Tangerine Tree project managed to improve on this version, which now features the complete 99 minutes of the gig, and which was remastered directly from a first generation tape. This release also includes the last missing 20 seconds of the second track and the first few seconds of the encore. Both were not present on the first generation tape, but thanks to a member of the tadream discussion list (who had also recorded the show back in 1976) it was possible to patch in the gaps. The sound quality is great considering that it is an audience recording from 1976, and the music is a perfect mix of sequencers, mellotron and guitar – one of the highlights from that year.

  1. pj, Thanks for the TD music... I've never been a huge consumer of their live albums... but, with these all from the time period I enjoy the most going to have to give them a try. Looking forward to the experience.
