Reviewed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Wednesday, April 3, 1975 page 4C – Pavlov’s Dog, Nektar In Kiel Performance by Dick Richmond.

“It doesn’t happen very often at a rock concert, but last night everything came off perfectly. A crowd of 9000 at Kiel Auditorium was treated to excellent performances by Pavlov’s Dog and Nektar. … Nektar, a German quartet is a group that has as much to say visually as it does musically. Shut your eyes and you miss half the show. Open them and you feel as if you are looking from inside the mind of a painter gone mad. On one number called a “Day in the Life of a Preacher” the music was less molten, more rhythmic. The three motion picture projections, however, seemed to have Easter egg dye sweeping over row after row, from which were hatched strange things. Both bands will perform in concert again tonight.”

Remarks:
This is straight from my master-reel (security copy)>>>DAT>>>CD>>>HD The show is also offered on Nektar's Homepage as mp3 & FLAC, but that FLAC is ripped from mp3's, which makes no sense (& furthermore, it's one gen worse than this 1st gen-reel-transfer). Also that version is without the German Stories which are very nice & funny for those with a little talent for some German, of course. What a great show this was. This was the 4th Nektar show we recorded (we = me & some school friends) & this time we were able to sneak a reel-to-reel Grundig-machine in with automatic level adjustment, which nicely covered also the quieter parts.
I kept the setlist as it was played, while Nektar putted "New Day" on CD 1, which fits for 2 CD's (you are free to do so), but this was the correct flow of the show. "New Day Dawning" was played as final encore.
