I found these this last week. They are real old live 'bootleg' recordings. Not too bad. Fun to hear some real old stuff as they transitioned.

Indeed. Interesting. The Tangerine Tree is a huge source of live stuff.

It looks like the original Tree servers are down, but the recordings are out there in the wild. I grabbed quite a few of them years ago, and there are definitely some great concerts to be heard here. My favorites were those from about 1974-1977.

I think Froese asked them to stop at a certain point.
I have tons of them. Some are just interesting and ok-ish, but others are great.
Then again, I'm a massive 1970-1980 TD fan.

I remember listening to a few of them during my last big TD binge but all of the ones I listened to were so bad in quality that I couldn't get through them and there were so many it was hard to go through them all to find ones that were keepers.
Anyone got any recs on a combo of best sound quality/best performance?

I agree with Stephen.
Sad music since about the time they moved to Baumann's label.
Epsilon is a superb record. Took me a while to find my CD copies but worth it. Now I have 2 of everything Virgin/Brain released by Edgar..

How such a creative and original artist could end up releasing the nauseating stuff of the last 20 years I don't know.

I saw them play recently at Moogfest, and it was hands down one of the cheesiest sets of music I have seen in my whole life, really horrid guitar noodling and such, though they did have a stunning backing drummer.

great thanks.

I don't know why Edgar did that in the first place.

I can imagine that to start with edgar did the typical thing of saying it was re-recorded so that Virgin didn't have the rights to the recordings. They were of course just overdubbed.
Just a theory...

Thanks for pointing out all of the Tangerine Tree and the lesser quality Tangerine Leaves recordings. I really like a lot of the ones I have found over the last few weeks. They are much more atmospheric than the typical lp releases from 1974-1980. I have a new profound fondness for Tangerine Dream. They have always been one of my favorites in e-music since hearing them in the 70's, but this barrage of atmospheric recordings w/ Michael Hoenig, Steve Shroyder and all of the Bauman years has opened my ears!!!! Just awesome to hear the evolution year to year as the line up, techniques, expertise and equipment changed. And not so much guitar noodling either. hihi
