I probably shouldn't air my thoughts here on certain band members, but still great tunes.

Killing Joke? I’ve never heard of them. Punk?

The best Killing Joke album.

Yeah, well, that probably is (in part, at least) in relation to...

... ^^^ That.

Punk?

Hmmm, not really ... Of that era, but more 'post-punk'. Wikipedia has them listed as: Post-Punk, Industrial Rock, Gothic Rock, and New Wave... Take your pick.

The wife and I were supposed to see Peter Gabriel tonight in Boston but life got in the way, as it does. A family thing required her to travel out of state. Currently watching the Red Sox while listening to this:



I previously saw him in Rochester, NY, in 1986, which was the first show for the So tour. I snuck in a tape recorder but I have no idea where that tape is now. If I brought in a tape recorder, you can imagine everything else people snuck in. I was higher than a kite in springtime, and that was just a contact high. I was on the floor about ten feet from the speakers.

Recently my media has been mostly the core of my record collection on iPhone and a copy on SD-card in car stereos. Now I've started using my hifi-set at home more, and going through CDs which are not in my phone or car. Loads of stuff to revisit, brings back memories.
This week scanning Neil Young back catalogue, now American Stars & Bars in rotation. Ah, the joy of finding old pearls.

So this group from Berlin, active since 1967, is on tour in North America, and they asked me to sit in and join them for a half-hour improvisation at the end of their concert in San Francisco this Wednesday, in front of 1000 people or so. This will be my first live gig in 4 years. It will be completely improvised. The new members of Tangerine Dream are not the original members, but some of them have been in the band for two decades already. It will be an interesting week. I am listening to some of their previous improvised "sessions" to guess what I might be doing.

... they asked me to sit in and join them for a half-hour improvisation ...

Wow, that's totally COOL. I have a bunch of their vinyl tucked away in a case.
Will you have your own 'gear' or get to play with theirs ?

I'll travel light, with my "airplane rig". That's two laptops (one for mixing plus effects in Ableton Live, the other running Apple Mainstage) with 6 octaves of portable CME controllers, Haken Continuum, lap steel guitar and pedals, mic for flutes, and loopers. I'm adding to that portable rig with a Prophet X keyboard. My friend Steve Roach played with them last night in Tucson and brought his whole solo performance rig, modular and everything; but since the sessions are entirely group improvisation I figured I would be more low-key and focus on solo instruments.

Break a leg, Robert!

That’s quite something, Robert!

It’s still a name to conjure with, Tangerine Dream.
