every
year again and again... No maybe not every year, but let's say, in a
rather regulare base, the mastro of avantgart visits Munich. And every
time, all those admirer of the post Andy Warhol era come along to
celebrate their glorified past with the sound of Velvet Underground and
John Cale solo music. Whereby - just to mention it, Cale had been only in Velvet Underground from 1965 to 68, together with his famous collegue Lou Reed. Since then he's only followed his solo paths, and he still does including production for other artists. He now can look back on 44 albums, having released throughout his carriere, many movie soundtracks and live records as well. John Cale has always gonne very individual ways and has never followed any chichees or trends. He never bothered about conventions. John Cale Music is simply John Cale music. That's why he never ever had a top 40 hit in the US and not even a top 100 in his home country England. So over all, this artist has reached his reputation only because of his Velvet Underground past and his strange individuality, which is beloved by individual consumers only and old Velvet fans. He just released a new Live Album named "Circus Live". And that's the main reason we got him back here again. tour begeben, um zu beweisen, dass seine Live-Geschichten wirklich so einmalig sind, wie sie auf CD den Anschein geben. Der Tempel ist jedenfalls gut gefüllt heute Abend hier in München. Und an der Tür hängt ausnahmsweise ein Hinweis auf ein absolut-striktes Rauchverbot Due to a special request of the artist - no smoking at all. In the states this is a common thing already, not so over here. Alrighty, the audiance follow the rules. Noone wants to get pushed out from our strict security guys. However, it won't take much longer, and soon, the situation will be similar to the states, and this problem ist out the way for good. Beeing a nonsmoker all my life, I don't care anyway. But I'm happy, that the air ain't that bad tonight in here. At 8.30 p.m. the
lights go out and a strange sound in 3 tunes comes out of the amps - and
this for 15 minutes. Christ.... I don't mind excentric ambitions, but
this here is just too much for our tortured ears. To be honest, I don't
exactly know, what the sense behind this intro is.... |
