JOHN CALE AND BAND - LIVE AT ROCKPALAST (2LP)

John Cale And Band Live At Rockpalast on 2 x Vinyl LP

When John Cale appeared onstage at Grugahalle Essen, Germany on October, 13th 1984, it was nearly 3 o'clock in the morning and the atmosphere in the hall was as tense and menacing as the conert that followed.

Starting with the self ironic "Autobiography," this concert represents the rock musician John Cale, playing highlights from his last studio album Caribbean Sunset as well as all-time classics like "Fear Is A Man's Best Friend," "Paris 1919" and a breathtaking version of the Velvet Underground classic "Waiting For The Man."

Supported by David Lichtenstein (drums), Andy Heermans (bass) and David Young (guitar), John Cale presented the songs in very rough, sparse, nearly minimalistic arrangements, always cutting the edge and strictly combing the point in every song. Up to this day, this performance remains one of the most spectacular concerts in the history of the Rockpalast series.
