Polydor 50 Jahre Panikorchester Live (Jubiläumsedition) [VINYL]

Half a century, or in other words, 50 years. It has been so long since Udo Lindenberg founded the legendary panic orchestra. On August 13, 1973, this merger was made official, since then it was like an inseparable alliance, and even if the cast of the band always made some changes, it should remain as such until the last. Pretty exactly 10 years after the founding of the band, Odyssey appeared one of the most important albums in German music history, which Udo Lindenberg and his panic orchestra should firmly cement into the consciousness of the nation still divided at the time. Especially during the joint live concerts, it became clear how harmoniously and symbiotically the interplay of singer and band or orchestra worked. A legendary show followed the next, and even the initially applicable prohibition of appearance in the GDR, should finally be lifted for this special act exceptionally. In the same year in which Odyssey appeared, the legendary concert took place in the CCH (Congress Center Hamburg), before which visitors could not suspect that they should become part of another iconic release. Because the concert taking place on 19 March 1983 was recorded live and appeared in the same year under the name Lindstärke 10 as an official live album. In January 1990, Lindenberg was able to go on tour through the former GDR for the first time with the new panic orchestra in the course of the political turn, with the concert in Leipzig also recorded and released as the live album live in Leipzig. Time jump into today's year 2023: for the great 50th anniversary of the panic orchestra, not only these two live recordings appear, but together with the hardly less legendary live album LIVE 96, which documents the still lasting reunion of the original panic orchestra and also released via Polydor in 1997, and now for the first time on vinyl available is available All these live albums combine the peculiarity of the concerts where they were created and the preservation of this historical character just that. The limited and numbered 3LP Splatter anniversary edition appears in artful new guise in matching black and red record sleeve and many original photos in artwork. Just as it should be for thoroughbred artist Udo Lindenberg and such a special occasion. Long live the panic orchestra! The anniversary edition is limited to 2000 pieces.
