I would loved to have seen them when Edgar was still with us.

Sadly, their trips to Australia where few and far between – 75, 82 and 2014 and I didn’t really know of them until 87.

When they finally did play again down under I’d been living in Canada for several years.

Then on their last trip to Canada they played in Montreal which wasn’t feasible for me.

I could have made it to Toronto.

So come on TD give us another visit!!

Since discussion of Electronic Orgy and such, I re-listen to the trio,  EO EO1 EO3, and 1991 Brothers In Arms, excellent cover among other great tracks, 1992 2500 Days for example too and so on.
I don’t think that Edgar should have been worried, any fan of TD, as I did, would gladly pay for TD’s own releases.

Someone called TD, “tribute band” recently, misguided comment. They still do make music and we are lucky in the sense that with TD, death of even founding member, does not stop TD from touring and being able to share their music with older fans as well as new ones who just discovered them. It is not like rock band where singer dies and usually that it is.

I wish TD would leave confounds of Europe more often. I’m in Canada and only saw them once in Montreal with Edgar, wish there were more times.

Different animals, Stephe.

EO2 was a pressed CD, and Edgar never believed the (true fact) that there were only a few hundred copies, which didn't
even sell out. Therefore, he thought it had ruined the market for TD's own release of these tracks. A sad, but
understandable misconception.

TD never had the copyright to the (original film music supplied for) The Keep. Paramount had and still does.
Which was the much bigger obstacle on the way towards a TD release of the music. When TD finally decided on "Music
inspired by the Keep" ;-) it certainly was not because of bootlegs circulating before.
