From mid October to late November 1982, TD toured in Europe performing 31 gigs at all in Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, the UK, Belgium, West and East Germany. The concert at the Dominion Theatre in London was released only a few weeks after on the record Logos Live. According to Johannes Schmoelling, this is one of his favourite albums. He considers "the live concept and the smooth transition between one idea and the next to be the key of the album's success." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Logos Live features only 50 minutes of material from the 110 minute long concert: The first six and the last 39 minutes of the main set plus one of the three encores. This resulted in an album consisting of purely new material, while the concert featured tracks from the previous studio albums Exit (1981) and White Eagle (1982) as well. Some other by then unreleased compositions would later appear as part of The Keep (1983, released 1997) and Poland (1984). A remastered audience recording of the complete concert has been released by TD fans in 2003 as Tangerine Leaves Volume 1: London 1982, and finally, in 2020, a professional recording of the complete concert was made available as The Dominion Theatre Concert. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Regarding Logos Live it turned out that large chunks of the album had not been recorded live but consist of music Tangerine Dream had prepared at their Berlin studio beforehand the tour. The announcement (from the evening show) and applause from the audience were then added to provide a 'live' atmosphere. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Notably, the front cover photo by Monique Froese was not taken in the Dominion Theatre but originates from the Sheffield gig two days before. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The first series of the LP released in Germany contained a 4-page text sheet in German language, 'Die Elektroniker der ersten Stunde', with a band history 'Tangerine Dream 1972-1982' and with covers, track listings and catalogue numbers of all TD and Edgar Froese solo LPs available by Virgin in Germany at that time. The front page graphics reminds of the LP cover of White Eagle and was later reused by bootleggers for the Timeless Space release. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Re-Releases | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 1984 the album was released on CD for the first time as part of a series by Virgin. With the exception of Exit, all releases of this series had a similar cover design, using only part of the original artwork in a monochrome border that featured the band and album title. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 1995 Virgin re-released the album on CD in the so-called "Definitive Edition" series, featuring the original front cover artwork. For this release, the two compositions Logos, Part One and Logos, Part Two have been mixed together, forming the track Logos of some 44 minutes length. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 2012 the original album was re-released as part of the compilation box The Virgin Years 1977-1983. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 2020 the album was newly remastered by Ben Wiseman from the original tapes and re-released both as part of the Pilots Of Purple Twilight box set and as individual album. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
