JP plays TD

[ajking106]

hi alanjc

Cheers, BTW when you said it was introduced by JP, I take it you 
meant the BBC's FM recording of TD live at the Royal Albert Hall in 
1975 (from the Bootleg Box)? this was the short lived lineup of 
Froese, Franke with new boy Michael Hoenig. John also saw the group 
at Liverpool Cathedral, in fact he said it was one of the most 
memerable gigs he ever went to.

Shame you missed out on the Tangerine Tree and Tangerine Leaf discs, 
these were done by fans 'or fans' and are basically the source 
material for the 'two' Bootleg Box volumes. The TT and TL series ran 
to hundreds of discs, covering TD's in 1968 right to their last gigs. 
Shame the plug was pulled, but the discs are still out there.
