As long as it's not full of Goths and hippies

... nah, that wouldn't be so bad

Yeah, I was wondering: who goes to such an event? That's part of the report I expect, btw.

I went to the first one (Affenstunde and In Den Garten Pharoahs), once we got over the slight strangeness of the situation it was very nice - good sound system, candles, mmm. Bit of a strange thing to pay £5 for but until Daniel Fichelscher plays it live again (doubtful - did they ever even play live in the first place?) it'll have to do.

haha i don't know if i like this idea or not

did they ever even play live in the first place?

Yes. Fricke/Fichelscher/Djong Yun line-up, I believe.

Who goes? Um, some middle-aged record collector types (had to move to a different part of the church to get away from their "witty" sardonic comments and beer breath), a few Hoxton hipsters, dunno really. Didn't see any goths. No psychobillies either.

... there's even a bootleg of a gig!

Hope the T dream series stops before the 1980s era.

Oh I don't know, some of that's OK too

How about the 90s?

Don't be silly

i have a couple live boots, one is "1973 baumberg kirche germany" and the other is from 1976 with some live roberto cacciapaglia(!)

I've got those, but second is not Popol Vuh at all?

how did everyone do just sitting there still for so long? was there audible fidgeting? was the music really loud?

The music wasn't very loud, the worst noise pollution came from the back of the hall where they were selling cans of beer - lots of popping, clanking and fizzing. Problem solved by moving nearer the front! I had a similarly strange feeling at a Messiaen organ recital in Westminster Abbey a couple of years ago, as the organist was obviously hidden away, resulting in a "where do I look?" conundrum. The audience were better behaved at that one though, and they weren't selling beers at the back of the Abbey either, which helped.

really? def sounds like them

In 1975 they visited again Italy for a concert at the University ‘La Statale’ of Milan, somewhere in september. The concert was promoted by the 'Gong' magazine (a magazine about progressive-experimental rock), after R.U. Kaiser established an agreement with the PDU label for licensing the Ohr/Pilz/DKK records in Italy.
The concert was opened by a very young Roberto Cacciapaglia, who played a part of 'Sonanze'. For this occasion Popol Vuh consisted of: Florian Fricke (piano and voice), Daniel Fichelscher (guitars) and Renate Knaup (vocals and percussion).
There exists a tape/bootleg from this concert.

Oh maybe I haven't got that one!

oh man, selling beers? that's what i was afraid of. i'm getting a better picture of this event already.
guess i shouldn't begrudge people the joy of purchasing beers, but...i dunno. i get it now. i still think it would be enjoyable, but definitely sit near the front.

also why was it not really super loud? i would want it to be so loud that i couldn't even think of anything else.

^ live '75

lol this "play popol vuh albums in a church" thing is weird! is this a specifically popol vuh thing, or do they do other artists? i guess the tangerine dream pic suggests they do. i guess i can imagine going ...

is that milan show a decent recording?

i saw mention of an upcoming ash ra tempel one somewheres

tylerw - its kinda hissy and muffled

He's used to Velvets bootlegs, that won't bother him!

They're organised by these guys : http://www.sonic360.com/
I think they were talking about doing Ash Ra Tempel too maybe? Easier than organising a tribute band...

xpost

Who am I kidding, I'm already downloading it. Thanks for the link!

i love popol vuh tons and tons and tons but i couldn't imagine going to sit in a church and drink beer to hear one of their records.

Finding someone who can play like Manuel Gottsching might be tricky...

i can imagine going to sit in a church and smoke w33d to hear one of their records ... are there rules about that?

You'd have to ask the vicar. Hey, it's in Hoxton...

Yeah, the vicar will roll one for you on the way in

now you're talkin

It's called a camberwell carrot because it was invented in camberwell and it resembles a carrot.
