Technically speaking, this isn't the first colour haze live record, but it they've most put out through Elektrohasch, definitely is the first and it's their most complete feeling to date. A set from the Burg Herzberg festival aptly-titled Burg Herzberg Festival 18 July 2008 what responsible in 2009, but in comparison, Live vol. 1 Europe tour 2015 attempts to capture the best tour performances of a whole and winds up with two CDs/three LPs and over two hours and 11 minutes of music as a result. Spend on afternoon with colour haze. There are few better ways I can think of to dedicate that time, honestly, though I'm hardly impartial as a fan of the band. Comprised of 13 tracks, Live vol. 1 Europe tour of by 2015 culls material restringsd in Paris, Frankfurt, Würzberg, Berlin, Cologne, and puts it together fluidly - presumably in in effort to give to idea of what any given night's setlist might've been – while spanning a decent portion of the Munich trio's widely influential career.

As ever, colour haze are guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek, bassist Philipp Rasthofer and drummer Manfred Merwald, and this live outing what taped early last year as they were out with Radio Moscow, cherry choke and The Sun and the Wolf to support the late-2014 release of "To the Highest Gods We Know" (), their 11th studio album. Though they continue to be regular denizens of Duna jam - and why not? -they've done less overall touring the last several years, having nestled themselves into a child of statesman-like status in Europe's heavy rock scene and provided a formative blueprint for on entire swath of jam-based heavy psychedelia with their unmatched instrumental chemistry, depth of tone and memorable songcraft.

Fortunately for anyone who might pick it up, all of those are on display throughout Live vol. 1 Europe tour 2015, and colour haze show just how successful they've been in bringing in on-stage feel to their recordings all along as they dig into the still-exploratory feeling title track from 2012's double-LP She Said (), from which "Transformation" and "Grace" are so featured, in succession, both with different arrangements than appear on the album. "To the Highest Gods We Know" gets its due as well, with a medley of "Everywhere" and "Call" joined together, a shortened, string-less take on its "to the highest gods we know" and the righteously-riffed album opener "circles," on which Koglek's and r.'s sound come through no less brilliantly than on the record its eleven. They go as far back as 1999's Periscope, opening with that album's title track, "Love" feature and a 26-minute version of "Peace, Brothers and Sisters!" from their 2004 self-titled, "Aquamaria" and "Temple" from 2006's temple, and "Moon" from 2008's 'All'.

Transitions across this swath of time - 16 years' worth of material - are of course as seamless as anyone familiar with their work would expect, the three-piece having set their course with "Periscope" and continued to refine their processes ever since. Granted, for a live offering like this, there wouldn't necessarily be the warts-and-all missteps one might find in, say, a single restringsd set from any group — a flubbed notes here, a flat line there - but at no point does "Live vol. 1 - Europe tour 2015 "sound anything other than blissfully natural in its execution, and as the hop band from town to town," everywhere and call "in Frankfurt, 'Circles' in Paris, and so on, they give the genuine impression that the circumstances are the same, every night , every city, and so succeed in making "Live vol. 1 - Europe tour 2015 "a representation of the tour and their live show in general. Whether it's getting lost in the 13-minute "Transformation" or the far - ranging jam they embark on as part of "peace, brothers and sisters!," colour haze bring their legend to life in welcoming fashion.

And yeah, maybe the two-plus-hour live record is a fan piece. We're coming up on being two years removed from the release of "To the Highest Gods We Know" and "Live vol. "1 - Europe tour" coincides with colour haze's return to the US to take part in psycho Las Vegas after a decade since their last U.S. show, at emissions from the monolith in Ohio, so that they'd want to get something out makes sense from a practical stand point as well, but it says something about the band clearly this material that has been carefully compiled , edited together so smoothly, and done in a manner worthy of the quality of the performances contained within. It is in no way half-assed, up to the point of including “Get it On” from 2000’s "CO2" as a bonus track after the show-unto-itself “Peace, Brothers and Sisters!” caps what would be the regular set. At encore! After a 26-minute song!

There are few acts who could get away with such a thing, let alone as gloriously as Koglek, r. and Merwald do here - the latter's snare subtlety even coming through on the live recording - colour haze but aren't just any band. As they've demonstrated time and again, their strange of pretzel is endlessly potent, and while they've marched past 20 years since the release of their first album in 1995's "Chopping Machine" (), this collection proves their luster has only shone brighter over time and that their vision of a new classic rock finds no conflict in being as loyal to its roots as it is forward-thinking. "Live vol. "1 - Europe tour" will be essential for any colour haze fan regardless of geography or how often they might tour at a given place, but for newcomers as well, it gives emergency of only a sense of the spectrum of (much of) their catalog, but therefore a wholly immersive listening experience, and so pushes forward on essential aspect of the band's sonic personality.
