thanks berthy, does anyone know who is playing keyboards here?

[berthy75]

the musician is patrick gauthier I guess

It's funny how Vander looks perpetually young and fit on his vids through 84, and now in early 90s he looks like the same heavy old guy he does today.

My theory is that he visited his home planet while on hiatus in the late 80's. It only took a few years in Earth time, but in Vander's galaxy the time passed more quickly.

the sound of the instruments may not be so good but to listen to the music of Magma you have to concentrate your attention on rythm, they could play MDK with Playskool instruments, it would kick ass, for sure !! The music of Magma is so rich and so clear, it may take years and years to know how to listen to their music. Magma for life.

@Leipaa Vander can't be that old. He should be about 62. (I think he started when he was 22?)

DL, tu dois regretter cette époque?

[TThom2]

Lockwood is wonderful Magma tooo Thats Music Love Life!!

[StormAlterEgo]

Magma comes to The Netherlands !!! (may 22 Nijmegen Music Meeting festival)

I do think that Bernard Paganotti was not played down at all. His bass was on fire. The strap rod flanked Roger Jaccobacci 5 that he was playing absolutely is a menance though!

[ThomasHowellOrg]

Simon Goubert is also a drummer as well. He probably has played keyboards to a compostional degree.

Piano? These guys R machines- the best. Maybe U R very young? the kb's used in a percussive style- limited & "dry". The italian musical term is "secco"- a technique developed since stravinksy. & people remain stuck, prejudiced against stravinsky's 'dry' piano works... <3 •

this particular style- limited & repetitious- is famous from modern german composer Carl Orff, who Magma always got compared to in the day. Orff's percussive "Carmina" cycles' structures & humors show in Magma

A 3 pc. like a 12 year olds? Right, you don't understand the drums in this band with this man playing them.

In this concert it is 5 pieces. He had given up one of the rack toms for good, it seems and the rest of the drums were always 'small' jazz sizes. THE classic Gretsch drum set in those sizes. For what it's worth.....

I think Leipaa's comments hit the mark. But it's important to note that this was a show meant to highlight Lockwood, and the percussion, keyboards and even vocals are downplayed to bring Lockwood to the fore.

Since this is the early 90s, Magma hasn't even reformed yet, and is still assumed dead, with Vander doing mostly Offering and solo stuff, plus occasional flashback Magma pieces, but no new Magma compositions until the late 90s. All in all, a unique but not so important Magma curiosity.

it's not only the sound of the keys, but primarily the guy playing it. no groove, no feeling, no atmosphere - just lame.
