Tangerine Dream - April 2nd 2025 - Barcelona (complete concert)

Tangerine Dream
Continuum Tour 2025

Barcelona -Paral·lel 62
April 2nd 2025

Legendary German electronic music band Tangerine Dream will be touring our stages next year. Specifically, they will be bringing us their “Continuum Tour 2025” on April 2nd in Barcelona (Paral·lel 62).

Tangerine Dream was founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese. They are considered pioneers of their genre, with a fundamental role in the creation of the German school of cosmic music (kosmiche), as well as the creators of some of the main albums in the 70s that further explored synthesizers and sequencers, with “Phaedra” (1974) and “Rubycon” (1975) being part of several summary lists with the best albums of those times. Throughout their career they have shown an unstoppable restlessness, always open to the different stylistic preferences of its members (while, for example, Froese was inspired by Jimi Hendrix, other members were inspired by avant-garde elements such as Stockhausen or Terry Riley, or by the progressive rock of Yes; without forgetting the permanent shadow of classical music, from Bach and Boulez to Xenakis or Ravel).

The group has seen many personnel changes over the years, with Froese being the only continuous member until his death in January 2015. Since Froese’s death in 2015, the group is under the leadership of Thorsten Quaeschning (Froese’s chosen successor and the longest-serving current member of the band, having joined in 2005). He was joined by violinist Hoshiko Yamane in 2011, Ulrich Schnauss in 2014 and Paul Frick in 2020. Despite, or perhaps because of so many musicians coming and going, his output has been very prolific, including more than a hundred albums. The latest of these, the highly acclaimed “Raum”, from February 2022.

Estuve ahí ayer, una experència extracorporea e inolvidable. Muy contento de que el legado de TD este en manos de esta gente. Saludos!

They played some new tracks and it sounded amazing. White Eagle is so beautiful and the last session left everyone overwhelmed. Beautiful concert. I had the chance to talk a bit with Thorsten after performance and he is so so kind.

Rare bird: wonderful Version, thank you

GRACIAS por compartir. En Granada también pasó lo mismo que comento TQ al principio del concierto, de la vibración y parpadeo de los focos, que curioso. El listado de canciones cambia de un concierto a otro, a excepción de los temas del álbum Raum.

Inolvidable. Los vi en Madrid en los 70, pabellón de la ciudad deportiva del Real Madrid. Echo de menos la guitarra mágica de Froese pero el violín de esta chica es una muy buena compensación

[JosedeVal]

Espero que nadie se pusiera a bailar como ocurrió en el 2004 en Madrid. Bromas aparte, Thorten Q es un extraordinario músico que ha conseguido despertar a TD del sueño de mandarina en el que estaba sumido desde hace años.

Una de mis mejores experiencias musicales. Velada absolutamente impecable y fabulosa (Thorsten, don't worry about the glass vibration... noticing it show us your great knowledge! 😉). No puedo sino sonreir con este tridente Thorsten-Hoshiko-Paul. Ah, y la composición que empieza en 1:32:52 es digna de "shut up and take my money" 🤣 Porfa, volved pronto!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

best line-up since
FROESE/FRANKE/SCHMOELING....

por el canal derecho solo se oye ruido?

[BorysMadrawski]

New musicians, new sound - the funders are R.I.P. :(
Not as good as the legendary Poland - The Warsaw Concert (10 December 1983). In 27 August 2025 they are in Gdańsk, Poland. I'm not sure if it's worth to pay eq. of 60 EUR for this (so 240 EUR per family).

[wahwahwow]

I listened to Tangerin Dream from 1970-1979 and still have all the LPs from that time - I'm surprised they still make good music - but who are the musicians now?
