5 stars So here it is on 3 full CD's, the complete 1981 Illegal tour in its entirety. This four hour concert has been remarkably well preserved and re-mastered and runs from start to finish in a flawless fashion (hand re-mastered by Eroc of GROBSCHNITT). Fans of GROBSCHNITT in Germany have been citing for years that the Illegal tour was simply unforgettable and I only wish I had seen these guys play live... in the mean time we now have thanks to Eroc a great keepsake for those who missed this one. This four hour concert puts a spotlight on the tracks from "Illegal" (as it was this tour) but also contains lots of variations and vaudeville'ian improv's on songs as well as a large mitt full of other great songs from their discography. For me highlights are numerous, but I must make mention of a few like the deep symphonic version of "Rockpommel's Land", the bone chilling version of the dual acoustic guitar duet of "Silent Movie", Jumbo's "Jupp/The Excursion Of Father Smith" (one of my personal fav's of all time) and the 1981 40 mins version of "Solar Music" to top it all off.
