I'm afraid you're pretty alone in loving 220 Volt Live all the way through. I remember loving many of the tracks when I got the CD 20 years ago - Two Bunch Palms, 220 Volt, Backstreet Hero and Oriental Haze are all great tracks, but the second half of the disc is clearly less impressive than the first.Donofrio_TD wrote: Post virgin suggestions. All the albums they recommended you are great, but I can't believe no one has even mentioned "220 Volt Live". Great, great stuff. There are many concerts with some of the tracks featured here, including many Tangerine Tree projects, but not any come close to this album, in my opinion. The quality here is definitely superior in any way possible. This album is the case where every track is memorable, from start to finish and, as you say, it has consistency, 100%.
The Blue Bridge, Hamlet and Dreamtime are like my favorite tracks from that album. I guess it all depends on the mood you're in at the moment. When I first listened to this album I was actually looking for something like it. I was looking for "Treasure Of Innocence", found out that album had that track and got more than what I was expecting.Jon wrote:I'm afraid you're pretty alone in loving 220 Volt Live all the way through.

I have never been a big fan of those ballads.Donofrio_TD wrote:The Blue Bridge, Hamlet and Dreamtime are like my favorite tracks from that album.

Well, I was a relatively new fan when I listented to 220 Volt... and loved it all the way through, so that's why I thought that if he was rediscovering The Dream, that album would be a good suggestion. From that era, The Seattle Years, I think 200 Volt Live is definitely the highlight. On a sidenote, I didn't even notice it ran for almost 73 minutes while listening to it. Only track I didn't dig was Purple Haze, but I can still live with it.Jon wrote:I have never been a big fan of those ballads.Donofrio_TD wrote:The Blue Bridge, Hamlet and Dreamtime are like my favorite tracks from that album.

I was also a rather new fan when I bought 220 Volt Live in 1993. Had only heard TD for two years then.Donofrio_TD wrote:Well, I was a relatively new fan when I listented to 220 Volt... and loved it all the way through, so that's why I thought that if he was rediscovering The Dream, that album would be a good suggestion.

I believe I have a Tangerine Tree issue that is exactly the same as the Arizona gig... Not too crazy about it. It runs like a compilation and I didn't like the version of "Hamlet" there. It was a bit boring for me. I Prefer 220 Volt Live.Erik wrote:the Arizona 2 cd album completely replaces 220 volt live for me. and i like the lyrical version of dreamtime.
