Peter Pankas Jane - Live At Rockpalast - Hangman (Live Video)

Available as CD/DVD bundle starting April 28, 2017.
To many fans concerts of the Hanover rock group Jane are a welcome deja vu experience. On particular atmospheric evenings you could hear enthusiastic shouts from the audience “come on, Charly, play again as beautiful as you used to do before!” cheering Jane’s bassist Charly Maucher. They would not need to wait long for a response of the addressed “That you can rely on”, Maucher smiles and - as a sort of prompt thank you for the vocal demonstration of sympathy - he strikes up the significant bass line of “Daytime”, one of his bands’ big hits. If then, as usual, the organ and the vocals join in and a magnificent melodious solo guitar is lifting the classic tune up to higher spheres you would see only faces lost in reverie in the hall. The Jane sound is working its magic.
Charly Maucher is one of the founding members of the band. Two further musicians of the original line-up, namely drummer and singer Peter Panka and organist Werner Nadolny, were still in the band in December 2004 when they played at the so-called “WDR Krautrockpalast” together with colleagues of Amon Düül II, Epitaph, Guru, Karthago and Birth Control as Peter Pankas Jane. Since a legal dispute in the mid-nineties the band uses the additional name of their figurehead. Since the end of the eighties guitarist Klaus Walz from Dortmund is the fourth member who not only took on the extensive artistic heritage of Jane but has also ensured new studio creations.
The WDR concert at the “Harmonie” in Bonn shortly before Christmas 2004 was a touching evening for all participants bringing up a lot of memories of the golden seventies. At that time, Jane were among the most successful German rock bands packing the biggest clubs of the republic in their heyday. Emerged from the formation Justice Of Peace, short The JP’s, the record industry took notice of Jane at a festival performance in the spring of 1970. The musicians were one of the first bands to sign a long-term contract with the newly founded label “Brain” which concentrated specifically on the flourishing German rock scene taking up other carthorses like Novalis, Grobschnitt, Epitaph, Neu! or the Scorpions for their catalog.
Of the eleven albums that Jane released on Brain between 1972 and 1982 alone, more than two million copies were sold. Cult status albums like their debut “Together” (1972), the successor “Here we are” (1973) or “Lady” (1975), “Fire, Water, Earth & Air” and “Live At Home”, both released in 1976 and characterized by powerful organ driven melodic rock, are classified in German rock history as mile stones. The live recorded album “Live At Home” even became the bands’ bestseller receiving the “Golden Brain Label” from the record company in September 1977. This era is characterized by tours throughout Europe, TV performances, permanent radio presence and sold-out concerts.
With the beginning of the New German Wave at the end of the seventies the market value of Jane songs received a sensible economic dip. On top of that, internal tensions, different views about the future direction of the band and financial irritations made the conditions for band increasingly difficult. After a heated dispute the band split up at the beginning of the eighties. At first, Peter Panka and Werner Nadolny got involved in the project Warlock in Hanover, later reanimating Jane in a new formation.
To fit the nostalgic occasion at the “Krautrockpalast” in December 2004 Peter Pankas Jane played a colorful best of program with the most important and popular tunes of their career. Indispensible alongside songs like ‘Fire, Water, Earth & Air’ or ‘Daytime’ were, of course, both outstanding compositions of the band, the wonderful dreamy ‘Out In The Rain’ and the vigorous piece ‘Hangman’, a classy boogie rocker with an orgiastic guitar solo. The concert at the Bonn “Harmonie” ends with the ballad ‘So, So Long’, a number which today - after more than twelve years and many Jane shows later - almost sounds like a farewell to singer and drummer Peter Panka.
For “Live At Rockpalast 2004” is among the last performances of the charismatic Jane founder having been captured on DVD. Panka died on June 28, 2007 leaving a huge gap not only in his band but also in the complete German musical landscape. Pankas express wish to his band colleagues was to keep the band going, even beyond his death. How could this request be refused?
In difference to the 2005 released DVD „Krautrock-Meeting“, where only three plays of the Jane performance were, includes the new CD/DVD-set “Live At Rockpalast 2004” the whole concert of the Hanoverian Band and additional an longer interview with Werner Nadolny and Epitaph-bassist Bernd Kolbe.

Rauf und runter gehört........ Eine der besten Bands aus Deutschland. Die Scorpions waren vielleicht kommerziell erfolgreicher aber m.M. nicht annähernd so gut wie diese Kombo. Schade das es sie nicht mehr gibt.

[@skidco1]

I'm from the UK. I cannot believe that this band didn't break out of Germany into the UK market at the time. Jane had all the components to achieve this, ie melody, stunning lead/rhythm guitar work, loads of organ (yeah!) and song structures that are right on it. I'm discovering this band about 45 years too late, but I'm making up for lost time now by buying up their back catalogue. Go German rock bands of the 1970's!!

[@MrEinSteiger]

Thank you

[@ayrsen123]

We knew of them in Australia, but definitely not from commercial radio. I got into them through Scorpions and other Prog Rock groups such as Pavlov's Dog, Hawkwind, Goblin, Curved Air etc. Still have some Jane vinyl 40+ years later...lol. I would loved to have seen them live though :( Fantastic group!!!

[@skidco1]

I've only discovered Pavlov's Dog in recent times as well. So much good German rock music from that period. I've just bought Jane's mid 1970's live album and their first two studio albums, all on vinyl of course and am eyeing up some more. Keep on rocking down under!!

[@ayrsen123]

Good stuff. Vinyl is the certainly the way to go!!. There was so much good stuff back then, and if you do some exploring you'll no doubt find all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff. Germany certainly was a good breeding ground though. If you enjoy P's Dog, check out Rush. Particularly the Album 2112, and see what you think?. It's not to everybody's taste, but hey. you never know right? Happy hunting mate. TC

German Bands had often a problem with Lyrics written in english. Real true blues stories are difficult, so they prefered often spacy and mystery Lyrics. They are easier. But the rock n' roll feeling was there from the beginning in the early 50s on. Jane have some troubles between each others, that is why you find two sometimes three Bands with ex-Members. But you know this from many other great international Bands as well. All Jane Bands are absolutely great now, because it's the practise und a lot of Live Gigs for 45 years. Some other Bands had a british member, so they were able to play outside Germany. Discover *Epitaph* with Cliff Jackson first TV Shows here from 1971/72, Their LP Outside The Law was produced in the USA.They played in the 70s something between Wishbone Ash and Southern Rock, later Hard Rock, then long melodic Progrock Tracks and now they just play everything they made old and new Tracks.

[@karstengrunberg2477]

Die beste deutsche Rockband der 70er .

[@Helmut229]

Mit Frumpy

[@karstengrunberg2477]

Da hast du völlig Recht ,habe Frumpy öfter gesehen .Inga und Band sind auch herausragend @@Helmut229

[@auerk]

@@karstengrunberg2477 Damals gab es etliche gute deutsche Gruppen. Aber nun sind wir alt (in den Augen 20jähriger sogar fast tot). Aber die Musiker von heute sind doch deutlich schlechter oder bleiben unter dem Radar.

[@user-jm5wx6fy5p]

Jane for ever!!!❤

[@BerndB.-yv1zg]

Eine von vielen guten Deutsch-Rock Kapellen. Schade dass Peter Panka nicht mehr lebt!

[@mihaelaianas3284]

All are super talented musicians!!! What a revelation to find a German band that fully satisfies my music taste. Their music is a pure symphony, so many sounds while everyone takes the stage with masterful solos. Beyond mere words, just an absolutely mesmeric performance!!

[@wolfgangfruendt9268]

RIP Peter and now Charly, we will never forget you

[@69blueline]

Who plays the organs on this line up ? ? Is it the original guy from "live at home" concert. ?

[@alexandergrosse2349]

Nope, this is Werner Nadolny on keys. Manfred Wieczorke played on the Live album.

[@philippelambardan1646]

Maybe because it's too early in the morning and it's still night?

[@michaelmueller9875]

Schrecklich,wie man so ein Liedgut aus den 70igern so verschanden kann.Der Klaus Hess hätte seine Komporechte nicht mit Nadolny,Maucher und Panka teilen sollen,dann wäre uns so etwas erspart geblieben.

[@jeffersonjefferson9836]

Шик

[@jeffersonjefferson9836]

Шикарный номер Джэйн в духе их веяний и жизни в Грэйт Британ традиции, на этом с Алеманским цемусом и была создана Навальным Группа. Ты хоть и Мюллер иль Мёллер, ни хрена не просекаешь в Роке.
