John Cale Rockpalast (Live) (2-LPs - 180GV) (Damaged Cover)

Even today, JOHN CALE is renowned for having been a member of the Velvet Underground,less known to many fans are his early works with avant-garde musicians like John Cage or La Monte Young. When he was invited for the Rockpalast-Festival on October, 14th 1984, he had just released the desolate masterpiece 'Music For A New Society' (1982). Compared to the official live album, JOHN CALE's performance at the Rockpalast was far more intense, desperate and wild. He performed the songs with a very hard edge, sometimes even deconstructed them ('Heartbreak Hotel'). Two LP set contains two shows, one from 1984 with his full band and a solo Cale show from 1983. Vinyl companion to the DVD.
