Editorial Reviews Tangerine Dream's impressive live reputation dates back to the early '70s. Their shows tended to be completely improvised. These live improvisations produced several of the band's early successful albums: Zeit, Ricochet, and Encore, a 1977 double live album recorded in America on Richard Branson's fledgling Virgin label. The second in this series captures the band on home turf with Live in Aachen 1981. Following in the success of their recent Virgin releases Force Majeure and White Eagle, this era is seen by many fans as their 'golden period'. The band had become more structured than on their earlier albums with a less improvised edge to their music. This change was accelerated by the advent of sequencers and drum machines, of which Tangerine Dream were seen by many as leading exponents. In conclusion the Boot Moon series provides a unique insight into the band's live evolution and is essential to both causal supporters and die-hard fans of the band alike. This series is designed to capture the high points of the band's live concerts over three decades, making them available to the band's sizable fan base in deluxe packaging and at reasonable prices. *PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRACK ERROR HAS BEEN CORRECTED!

Album Description
The first of the Boot Moon series, "Live in Montreal 1977" captures the band on the same tour. What is interesting for the fans is to compare this release with the aforementioned Virgin release and notice the many differences. When you hear those differences you can see why the band is so heavily bootlegged.
