{"product_id":"john-cale-band-live-at-rockpalast-cd","title":"John Cale \u0026 Band - Live At Rockpalast (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eEven today, JOHN CALE is renowned for having been a member of The Velvet Underground alongside Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker and Sterling Morrison. Though less known to many fans are his early collaborations with avant-garde musicians like John Cage or La Monte Young. His solo works have always been a mixture of classical influenced avant-garde, orchestral works and dynamic, experimental Rock. He has worked as a musician, producer (Nico, Patti Smith, Happy Mondays, to name a few) and arranger. His collaborations with artists such as Brian Eno, Kevin Ayers or Little Feat are legendary. When he was invited for the Rockpalast-Festival on October, 14th 1984, he had just released the desolate masterpiece Music For A New Society (1982), Caribbean Sunset (1983) and John Cale Comes Alive (1984). Compared to the official live album, JOHN CALE's performance at the Rockpalast was far more intense, desperate and wild. He performed the songs with a very hard edge, sometimes even deconstructed them (Heartbreak Hotel), receiving a mixed reaction from the audience, that just has survived performances of Level 24, Huey Lewis \u0026amp; The News and Chalice. When JOHN CALE appeared onstage it nearly was 3 o'clock in the morning, the atmosphere in the hall was as tense and menacing as the concert that followed. Up to this day, this performance remains one of the most spectacular concerts in the history of the Rockpalast-Series. In sharp contrast to this performance you will find a second concert at Zeche Bochum from 1983. Here you will find the more introverted JOHN CALE: a man and his piano performing his all-time-classics, including an extremely expressive version of Fear Is A Man's Best Friend. Altogether, this set perfectly represents the many facettes of the JOHN CALE in the early 80s - it is a historic document which stands the test of time. Boxset with 2 DVDs and 2 CDs, booklet with fotos and linernotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutobiography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh La La  (Cale Larry Sloman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Evidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Magazines  (Cale David Young)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Model Beirut Recital  (Cale Young)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Streets of Laredo  (traditional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dr. Mudd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leaving It Up to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caribbean Sunset  (Cale Sloman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Hunt“ (Cale Young)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fear Is a Man's Best Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heartbreak Hotel  (Mae Boren Axton Tommy Durden Elvis Presley)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paris 1919\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Waiting for the Man  (Lou Reed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mercenaries (Ready for War)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pablo Picasso  \/  Love Me Two Times  (Jonathan Richman \/ Jim Morrison Robby Krieger Ray Manzarek John Densmore)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Close Watch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ghost Story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ship of Fools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leaving It Up to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Amsterdam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Child's Christmas in Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Buffalo Ballet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Antarctica Starts Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Taking It All Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Riverbank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paris 1919\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chinese Envoy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thoughtless Kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Only Time Will Tell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cable Hogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dead or Alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Waiting for the Man  (Reed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heartbreak Hotel  (Axton Durden Presley)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chorale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fear Is a Man's Best Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Close Watch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Streets of Laredo  (traditional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522234159378,"sku":"885513903037","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/john-cale-band-live-at-rockpalast-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
