Did Summers actually join TD on stage??

No. It was just he, his guitar and a few pedals. I recall him stating at one point, "I'm Andy Summers, and this (pointing to TD equipment behind him) is my equipment." It got quite a few laughs at the time.

I met him a few years later and had to remind him that he opened for TD in '88, to which he replied: "Oh, yeah. Those guys were weird."

Most concert lists show Tangerine Dream playing at the Benedum Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA on august 29th 1988...but...there's a used ticket on flickr showing them performing at Ohio Theater, Columbus on the same night. If this is right I wonder if they really played at Ohio Theater the night before, or if existing lists have this wrong as well?.

A really nice looking theatre:

I guess you can't argue with the data on a ticket...however, I'm thinking perhaps one of those venues were added as a last minute and perhaps there were two shows (aft./eve) on the same day. According to the map, it's only about 90-100 miles between Columbus and Pittsburg (about a 1.5 hour drive, straight highway).

I guess all you need to do is find a Pittsburgh stub.

And don't forget that same tour had Sommerville, Mass. on it, while that particular stop wasn't mentioned on all the adverts/t-shirts.

Perhaps it was an ever-evolving tour....

I wonder if date was changed but tickets were said to be still correct for the new date of show?

Strange that the ticket says "TD with special guest Andy Summers", like he should be a part of the band.

LOL, so he thought Edgar, Paul and Ralf were weird? I remember a picture of Summers and TD where Summers looked very misarable.

Hi Beaubourg,

I am a big Andy Summers fan ! I always wanted to know how it was when he toured with TD. Do he play with them ? Frienship was developped between Edgar and Andy ?

I don't know what he meant when he said that TD was "weird" because he is, also, a weird guy (in a funny way). He don't take himself to seriously. Very deadpan sense of humour. By the way, his last studio effort was good "Earth & Sky". The tracks "Above the world" and "Earth & Sky" are great rock/jazz fusion.
