krismopompas gave a good impression of the concert, difference between the TD performance and the one of Klaus Schulze.
The TD concert has been recorded on video, so you may suppose and expect there will be a DVD.
Also the Klaus Schulze performance is recorded on video. It was very funny to see, at moments there were 6
video camera's close to him in action.
The TD concert was nice to listen to and partly a copy of the Frankfurt concert.
Audio quality was better, because in Frankfurt there was some distortion in the audio during parts of the concert.
In fact, in my opinion audio was very good. Also the lasershow was nice to see.
No movies, pictures displayed on the background.
Between the concerts talking to a Brittish member of the TADRAM maillist (
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tadream/,
http://www.tadream.net/ ) about TD, Klaus Schulze and other common music interests.
Bells of Accra is a very nice peace of music (and that's an understatement), and I'm curious when it will be extended with a third (louder) part.
And time flies when listening to interesting music and watching a nice performance. It's too short, but what can one ask of a musician.
Did meet Colin (epsilon75) at the backstage restaurant, (it's public, it is really on the backside of the Lorely podium) and other forum members ( sorry, I'm bad in remembering names).
Collin and I did a sneaky thing. From the backstage restaurant you can enter the stadium, but the entrance was mostly watched by security. At one moment no one was there, so we bundled our courage end entered the stadium area, no one was asking if we had permits. We thought TD was rehearsing, we heared a woman voice singing, thinking it was Iris. We were disappointed, it was the vocal of the band Hipgnosis. So we left the area, after shooting some pictures.
Had a very nice day at the Loreley, next time bring a cushion or likely as seat. Rockstone is not easy to sit on from 16:00 to 01:00.
Edgar, Linda, Iris, Thorsten, Bernhard, Bianca ; Thanks for this beautifull concert.
Next one : 1st of November, see you.
grtz, Peter
