Significant concert at 14.10.1984 from the legendary Rockpalast at Grugahalle in Essen, Germany. The raw rock sound of this gig, Cales Aggessionslevel that dark pumping band from David Lichtenstein (dr), Andy Heermannns (b) and David Young (g), the hysterical opening madness "Autobiography": The reverberated long after - and now gets a quarter of a century Later, his congenial form as a double LP limited to 2,500 copies. The new label M.I.G. From Hanover, in the future, will publish many such treasures of rock history in this fine furnishing - and this is an extremely fine thing. John Cales gig brings the label in Direct Metal Mastering on vinyl, the fourth album also contains excerpts of his solo concert in Bochum from the year before. Here Cale sat at the piano and spat venom - "Fear is a man's best friend" he shouted like a madman, and who then sat in the front row, was told immediately what that meant. Thanks to this grandiose double LP, the rest is now being heard. More precisely: 2 500 people worldwide. For the rest there is the whole thing as CD and DVD. (Mw)
