I saw this when it was first broadcast live on BBC2 in the UK in the early 70's, by pure chance.

I sat as a 19 year old and watched with my Dad, totally mesmerised.

This half hour changed my views on music forever. It broadened my views on what could be defined as music. It also means that I firmly believe that music as an evolutionary, organic process.

I don't think I can ever get into avant garde music but I will always look for something that pushes the boundaries

[MrSunshine58]

I never have seen this vid, but those days it was music 'for me'....music u needed to 'understand' in order to appreciate it. I think i was same age like u. And it changed my view on music forever as well. I thought I was the only one.....but its my guess u thought the same, those days :)

Geniales. Cada vez que escucho este tema puedo viajar a las ruinas de Petra, o al interior de una pirámide o volar hasta la Luna.

Can you see the centre of the universe?

[mavericktoper1]

I believe,claim and think this piece of music records ciphered memories of the universe.

[echoes707]

[facey65]

This is great but if you want to see a better live vid from this era check out "Live 1976" from my page.

Mit Ricochet schufen Mastermind Edgar Froese, Peter Baumann und Chris Franke 1975 ein Elektro-Prog-Rock-Masterpiece, welches in jener Zeit in Deutschland ihresgleichen suchte und für mich ansonsten nur mit Mike Oldfields Tubular bells vergleichbar ist. Bis heute absolut unvergleichlich und richtungweisend!!! 5 Sterne aus Deutschland... for you 5 stars from Germany!!!

Coventry Cathedral...

I graduated there, and I now live 5 miles away. And I've always loved TD.

[BARNESVIDS]

In about the mid 70's here in Sydney was a concert series here in which Tangerine Dream in the original lineup was supposed to play 2 concerts the first concert was posponed, and the guys decided to play concerts 1 & 2 together, If I can remember properly the concert started at 9p and finished about 12 midnight, to this very day I have never seen a concert like it, it was truly something else. I am NOW 54.

Ah, well, Coventry Cathedral, nice video, anyway - the DVD let the second part missing, however, thanks for posting, cheers, Sven

[ocvirk]

full video lasts 28 minutes and is almost 300 MB big

by the way, their greatest stuff are bootleg recording from the concert in brussels university year 1976. it's called screaming insanity. if you can find it, just listen to froese's guitar. it will blow your mind to space!

Ricochet è stato uno dei miei primi LP.

Grande emozione a risentirla dopo oltre 30 anni.

[X10090]

Yes, that's the way of spiritual music ... and that music brings a great ways for love ... the point of music, the point of life ...

[MarkJenkinsMusic]

It was claimed the sound from this Coventry concert was lost in a fire, but in fact it was just a really slow concert, so replaced by the then current album "Ricochet", which is part live but part (as heard here) studio. Play a genuine recording from the concert along with these (much slower moving) pictures and it suddenly makes sense...

[desdanova3]

Thanks for the explanation!!!I wondered what did they do here?But that makes sense.When I got the DVD I was expecting for the real sound and images and I just got disappointed with this item,but if you afirm that since that time they replaced it,that makes me feel no longer angst,since I thought was just a bogus bootleg.Thanks

[mechmage]

There exists another recording on youtube of part 2. Synched play or not, imo it doesnt matter. Just watch Woodstock or some other 60s or 70s live recording and the sound isnt exactly in synch all the time. Different era different style imo.

[ecejulia]

And 90% of the audience in the cathedral were stoned. HaHaHa!! God forgive!!

[atye]

This video was made by the BBC, live... But shown some 6-9 months later and the album's music was dubbed over the live recording! UGHHH. That's why the sound doesn't always match up.

[facey65]

There are a lot of myths around this recording. It was shown on the BBC in late 1975 but the video director was Tony Palmer (google him) working for Virgin. There exists a german TV interview with the Tangs, Tony Palmer, Richard Branson and the late John Peel made at about the same time.

[0nzY]

the drums comes from the synt...

[0nzY]

Totally fake because Froese in that song play the Telecaster and the video show him play (double)mellotron

[schafael]

i wonder what song they were truly playing in this video? also the drums are not real

[francislalan]

To be exact, Ricochet is a collage of several parts of live recordings made during 1975 in France (and Germany I think), then reworked in studio.

Anyway, one of the best records ever made.

me 2

[williamc99]

So do I, that is awesome, TD Rule :)

Wish I had been at this event.
