Epitaph - Rockpalast: Krautrock Legends Vol 1 DVD

Rockpalast was a WDR (Cologne) show produced between 1974 and 1986 and revived again in 1995. The show was originally produced by Peter Rchel and directed by Christan Wagner and was famous for staging gigs with the leading bands of the day. The three concerts preceding Epitaph's first Rockpalast appearance were with Todd Rundgren's Utopia Leo Kottke and Ry Cooder. Epitaph first hit the Rockpalast stage on February 2nd 1997 and were followed that year by artists like Kate & Anna McGarrigle Chicago Harry Chapin Tom Waits Tom Petty Rory Gallagher Little Feat and Roger... McGuinn's Thunderbird. Although two of the founder members Cliff Jackson and Jim McGillivray were Brits and the lyrics were English Epitaph was definitely a German band. As such it was quite amazing that Epitaph made it onto what was in effect Germany's answer to The Old Grey Whistle Test. Epitaph's second Rockpalast gig was preceded by such bands as Earth Wind & Fire the J. Geils Band Patti Smith and Johnny Winter. Followed by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes Nils Lofgren Mitch Ryder Roger Chapman and The Short List Epitaph's second appearance was only surpassed by a much later show Peter Sommer's legendary 2004 KRAUT-Rockpalast a three-day celebration of German stars that included Karthago Guru Guru Jane Amon Dl2 Birth Control and of course Epitaph.
