Out of the Blue

A film crew was recently filmed in the Reims Cathedral, not really doing something. Probably they shoot already now some church images for a coming "40 years of TD at Reims Cathedral" (?)
On 13 December 1974 the French town of Reims was indeed an important place for a trio called "Tangerine Dream". Here they had a largely promoted concert for the invited world press & a few thousand paying fans. Supporting the concert was Nico, ...and I was the concert's stage manager.
At the very end of that meaningless video, the crew is seen in a little restaurant ...and after 9 minutes, at the film's end and show-stopper, the cameraman zooms in on a bottle on the table (& the music changes from old T.D. to a part of Manuel's "e2-e4") and this bottle shows, out of the blue....

there will be two versions of this documentary - a 45 minute TV version - which will also be available for a short time online, and later a 90 minute feature film length version - available on DVD.

REIMS
Nico & TD - as they both played at the Cathedral on Dec 13th 1974. The YouTube clip is just some behind the scenes 'fluff' from the real 45 minute documentary - ROCK GOES TO THE CATHEDRAL (directed by Benoit Garel) to be aired on French TV on Dec 15th (on the FRANCE 3 channel at 3.20pm). The DVD/feature film length version will be out next year - hopefully with subtitles if you don't understand French.
