Logos Live
''Logos Live'' is the eighteenth major release and fourth live album by Tangerine Dream. It was released in December 1982. It is a live album from the concert at the Dominion Theatre in London, England. Much like '' Tangram'' with short movements connected by atmospheric segues, ''Logos'' captured a period of Tangerine Dream's evolution from experimental to melodic, documented also by their soundtrack to the motion picture ''Risky Business'' a year later. From the two-hour concert, 50 minutes of music original to the concert was included on the album. The entire concert was officially released in full, along with ''Logos Live'', on the ''Pilots of Purple Twilight: The Virgin Recordings 1980-83'' boxset in 2020. Before the official release, the full concert could be found on the Tangerine Tree release ''Tangerine Leaves Volume 1: London 1982''. The same concert was played at Fairfield Halls in Croydon on 31 October 1982 and released as ''Tangerine Tree Volume 12: Croydon 1982' ...

Tangerine Tree
Tangerine Tree was a fan project operating from 2002 through 2006 with the goal of collecting, preserving and distributing unreleased concerts and other audio material by the band Tangerine Dream.

Christopher Franke
Christopher Franke (born 6 April 1953) is a German musician and composer. From 1971 to 1987, he was a member of the electronic group Tangerine Dream. Initially a drummer with The Agitation, later renamed Agitation Free, his primary focus eventually shifted to keyboards and synthesizers as the group moved away from its psychedelic rock origins. While he was not the first musician to use an analog sequencer, he was probably the first to turn it into a live performance instrument, thus laying the rhythmic foundation for classic Tangerine Dream pieces and indeed for the whole Berlin School of electronic music, Berlin school sound. After his departure from the group, he founded the Sonic Images record label, a new-age music label called Earthtone and the Berlin Symphonic Film Orchestra, and produced a number of solo music works. After leaving Tangerine Dream, his only live concert was on 9 October 1991 at the Astoria Theatre in London. He performed on stage with Edgar Rothermich (a.k. ...
