Notes

JOHN CALE - COLOGNE,BFBS STUDIOS 05.FEB.1984

master tape (FM)>wave(EAC)<flacf(8)

exc. quality,slight hiss, 21 year`s old audio tape

John Cale in the BFBS Studios after his show at
"Alter Wartesaal",Cologne,where he played a concert
with his band.It`s interview with Alan Bangs,a well
known Moderator in germany.Sometimes Alan asked
John to play a song on the piano in that studio room.
John Cale played its songs in an intensity not
belonged up to then ever .He is to cries and
screaming and had a crying fit.He had nearly a
nervous breakdown and you hear some silence
after the songs before Alan Bangs find the words
to go on with the interview.After Waiting for my man
Alan stopped the whole thing,because John Cale was
really finished and it was not possible to go on
with this radio show,thanks to Alan Bangs for his
feeling in this situation.I saw the show with his
band earlier that evening and I was wondering about
what happend on the stage. Sometimes John Cale lay
under his piano rolled like an embryo and cries
like a wounded animal. It was a really special show
this evening,but I never expected what happend later
at the BFBS Studios,an emotinal and damageable
man plays piano and sings his songs.I think,the right
words are : An emotional character with sensitive
feelings at the end of its strength.I want to write
more about this evening and all the feelings,but
my english is too bad,so take this what I write here.
A long time I`m thinking about this show,should I
seed this with or without the interview,I decided to
give to you the whole show so that you understand
what happend this evening.
