Bath Tube Session & more
1969 -
1982
Tangerine Dream during their freak 'n roll moments
... before their first experimentations in electronic music.
Impressive and rare document! If you don't believe Tangerine Dream were psychedelic/prog-rock rock pioneers, check out this movie clip, the so-called "Bath Tube Session" from
West Berlin, 1969. Supposedly it was broadcast on
German TV. - WestGerman, of course...

Notes:
* Bath Tube Session
TD rocking the house in
Berlin, 1969.
Edgar Froese, guitar.
Klaus Schulze, drums. "
Happy" Dieter, bass. No one seems to know who "Happy" Dieter was. It was filmed at the
St. George Fountain in the courtyard of a restaurant on Potsdamer Str.
The fountain now sits in Hindemithplatz, as the restaurant was torn down years ago, and the area is now a generic looking shopping district.
Sometimes also called the "Bathtub Session."
" Ossiach Lake
It must be from the time just around
Alpha Centauri, which was recorded januar 1971.
Therefore, the line-up to do with consist of Edgar Froese,
Chris Franke and either
Steve Schroyder or
Conrad Schnitzler.
It's krautrock at its most dissonant, atonal and pulse loose form.
There exists a droning tranquility where sound vibrations, almost throws one into a kind of meditative seasickness. You just do not know whether you like it or not!
This Ossiach festival was a sort of jazz-festival, including visited by a young
Weather Report. This dose krautrock, however, is anything but jazz!

In
December 1974 Tangerine Dream were invited to play in the grand setting of
Rheims Cathedral, a move certainly seen at the time as groundbreaking. Because of this, they were then invited to perform in the cathedrals of
York,
Liverpool and
Coventry. The tour attracted unprecedented coverage in the media, especially at Coventry Cathedral, an iconic building rising like a
Phoenix on the ruins of the old cathedral bombed to bits by the
Germans in
1940 (Tangerine Dream is, after all, a
German band) as a celebration of
peace and reconciliation, as well as a lasting showcase for great contemporary art. The nave is dominated by a gigantic tapestry by
Graham Sutherland, the main door dwarfed by a scuplture of
St Michael &
The Devil by
Jacob Epstein, and the consecration in 1962 heard the first performance of
Britten's incomparable '
War Requiem. To their lasting credit, Tangerine Dream contributed to this celebration.
This film is - a meeting of cultures and for a brief moment in time, a time where the past met both the present and the future.
- Barock
Maybe recorded in 1976 at the
Benedictine Abbey in Ottobeuren,
West Germany,
+ Barock 3
Tangerine Dream live in 1976 doing their long abandoned improvisatory approaches to playing electronic music in the moment. This really clear video and audio recording features among other vintage synths the
Moog modulars all three members played,
Mellotron, pianos and, electric pianos such as the Wurlitzer.
*** Das Mädchen auf der Treppe
I'm sorry, but think this is not "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe"
The producers of the show are wrong. This is "
White Eagle" from the same
album (1982)
