ZEITGEIST CONCERT

Tangerine Dream's "Zeitgeist Concert" is an amazing live album that provides a great retrospective of the band's entire career. It maybe has the greatest overview provided by any TD live album, as every era (even the Pink Years) is represented here.

Regarding the tracks, almost all of the selections here are great tracks. The classic era TD stuff has been remixed, but I think it works pretty well in the context of the live album. Almost all of the tracks flow as one, and I personally find it impossible to point out highlights.

There are a handful of tracks I don't like, however. The first is "Piano Improvisation + The Whip", as the gimmick of interrupting a piano solo by beating the strings with a whip sounds kinda cool but is annoying to listen to (and any "symbolic" meaning is lost on me as well. The other two are "Death of a Nightingale" and "Boat to China", as I'm not a fan of the sax-heavy pieces, which are generally melodically weak. I like "Long Island Sunset", however, as it has a strong melody and is not too reliant on the sax.

Overall, this is a great live album and recommended for any fans of TD's whole career.
