That's why TD was able to play in East Berlin in 1980.

It does look like that, but it was actually a download, and I assume the original recording was done on VHS from Aussie TV.

Agreed! Early 80s were my favorite era for them, because that's when was introduced to their music, then I like Phaedra-Ricochet era.

Why not? It's a creepy location, it calls for creepy music.

@@scottplumer3668 It's not creepy

@@wendycampbell5099 I respectfully disagree.

Si asi es amigo. Da gusto de ver que hay gente latina con gustos exgocentricos !!! Hoy en dia con sus sesiones para mi siguen siendo unikos pues los nuevos miembros fueron elegidos por la mejor leyenda

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Schmoelling era was my favorite, because that's what was coming out when I was first starting to get into them, so it was all new. Now that I'm older, I prefer the Baumann era, but to each his own.

Ricochet and Sorcerer are up there also. IMO

Absolutetly not. Their best work came earlier with Froese, Baumann, Franke. I am an authority.

​@herculesrockefeller8969 you're an authority on ball washing, son.

Thank you!

Re; the Keep soundtrack, I remember the dude who ran my local record shop saying it was due to be released, but was cancelled at the last minute.There are some fans who insist they saw it on the shelves, but in 30+ years no one has been able to produce even a picture of it. There was the official release back in the '90s, which has some good music on it, but isn't the soundtrack at all (and fetches a pretty penny), and another unofficial one on Blue Moon records that has the actual music on it but is really hard to find. And then there's the "Ultimate Edition," which takes portions of all of them, plus stuff from other sources and compiles them into a 3-CD set. That was limited to 5 (!) copies, but can be downloaded.

Yes, there were plenty of knock-offs. I go to Kit Rae's YT upload when I want to listen now.

It's sad for me too. My first concert was there in '97. Ozzfest, when Ozzy didn't show up and people tore down the fence and whatnot. I only live about an hour away, so I'm wondering if people can still get in and look around like in this video.

Jason Hicks I was up there a couple weeks ago... they completely redone the whole area an Ikea sets where Polaris used to be

Ugh...

lumber1982 not true. The site where the stage and lawn was is now an empty field.

@@fitzinabox thanks for correcting me, I tried looking for it when I passed through... ...lol guess I was looking in the wrong area. Still a bummer it's gone either way

Isn't that where they built IKEA?

Scott Plumer yup....

*les.....wexner, rather. *OZZfest....rather.

Funnily enough, the interviewer Donny Sutherland was a jockey before getting into the rock journalist game.

Unfortunately, Australia has often been out of its depth when it comes to hosting or interviewing major international acts. Being as far away from the better hemisphere as it is, it remained woefully out of touch during the 70s and 80s with the rest of the world. I remember hearing radio interviews or seeing TV interviews with some of my favourite artists when they were touring down here, and cringing at the questions being asked. Few rock/pop journos did their homework properly. Some simple answers could be gleaned from reading album sleeve notes or magazine articles. It's no wonder many guests looked perplexed when they received some of the questions that they did.

Agreed. The FFS lineup was the one I was first exposed to in high school, and it's still my favorite, though the Baumann years were great, too.

Nothing ever came close? Have you never heard anything they did in the 70's with Peter Baumann? Please!

I somewhat agree with you, the FFS lineup gave me my three favorite TD albums: Pergamon, Tangram, and Poland, but let us not forget that the FFB (Peter Baumann) lineup gave us three all time classics in Phaedra, Rubycon, and Stratosfear. But, that's your opinion, and I respect it.

Thanks for the info!
