Live at Rockpalast

Rockpalast captured Cale in Germany in '83 (solo) and '84 (quartet), and this two-disc set (DVD or CD) brings you both long-unavailable, yet much-talked-about, performances. The mood is menacing in the '84 show, which didn't begin 'til almost 3 a.m., and the intimate 1983 concert strips the songs to their raw emotions. In addition to revisiting VU's Waiting for the Man and putting his own dark twist on Heartbreak Hotel, he rivets the crowds with Fear Is a Man's Best Friend; Paris 1919; Amsterdam; Ghost Story; Guts; Close Watch; Evidence; Magazines, and more!
