Tangerine Dream
concert reviews and tour history

This was my first opportunity to see Tangerine Dream in concert,I was not disappointed

it’s interesting looking back on this concert that there were so many set piece recognisable TD songs. It didn’t seem like that at the time. Despite the fact that I had had most of their albums going back to Alpha Centauri, the concert felt new and improvised. It was my first TD concert and it was an amazing and stand out experience.

The main difference about this tour from the previous one was the heavy use of state of the art, never before heard digital sounds and samples, totally amazing. Although they had a more full struture by this stage, the music itself was so well executed that the lack of more improvisation was actually not an issue.

I will never forget this show. I had no idea what to expect and was blown away. Surprised as heck to find a page for me to comment on it. I thank my sister for bringing me to this one.

I was there with my brother in pavilhão infante sagres in Porto-Portugal 1980,in the first part of the concert they played with some transparent curtains on the stage,making a curtain frontier with the public,in the second part they played without the curtains,later on the press we knew why,because they were afraid of public reaction,that someone may threw something at them,fortunately that never happened,at least we knew what we were about to see,my brother had earlier some amazing albuns of tangerine dream,like a double one-Alpha Centauri, Rubycon,one from Edgar Froese-Aqua,
and we liked a lot of what I like to say: Cosmic music,and some german groups were the hit of that and still they are today. We were young at the time,nowadays we felt that we where luky been there at the time,musicians like them playing in Portugal were scarce at the time and still are today. Long life to tangerine dream.

First time I ever saw Tangerine Dream live, and therefore perhaps my most favourite concert by them. Johannes Schmoelling had recently joined them and they were fresh and had a whole new array of sounds to bring them into a new decade. Brilliant.

I was up in the nose bleed section so there is a tendency to day dream and not be engaged. Everyone up in the balconies were so wonderful, great atmosphere. Sound-wise you always have to withdraw from review when up in the balcony as it is nothing like hearing it on ground floor

Fantastic evening with the grand old man of the synthesizers and of course with the rest of the band especially the ladies.

Fantastic and really long concert!
