way back, when being young was still a problem there were these tv and radio shows in west germany, made by the wdr:
rockpalast. nights with bands relatively unknown in germany but often with great repute internationally. great music most of it. my friends and me always gathered at one of our places then and watched tv all night. since this was also a radio show we also always recorded the music. we connected as many tape recorders to a radio as possible (i. e. two) and tried to get the best record of the broadcast. since it always were only two tape decks and we were 3 to 5 eager listeners we had to fight for who was to get the "original" recording and who had to cope with a later second rate copy. with
zz top and
roger chapman & the short list e.g. i had to give in to this second rate records. with
king sunny adé nobody competed me. we had never heard african music before so we didn't expect much. but afterwards i had to fight for this cassette.
this concert was my first encounter with african music and it stayed until now! the cassette though was eaten by a vicious cassette player in my car some ten years later. so praise for the internet!
