For quite a while, there used to be only a partial recording floating around for the 1996.06.22 Loreley RockPalast performance that was broadcast on WDR. The partial version was missing "Blue Black" entirely as well as the first half of "Sugar."

I've always felt that these two songs are among the most powerful and rocking songs that Heather has recorded.

Someone shared their full recording of the concert a couple years ago, restoring these two great songs.

As far as I know, and from all the various shows I have seen, this may be the only concert where Heather performed "Blue Black" and "Sugar" one after the other as a show-stopping medley.

Here's the video that was kindly put on YouTube (HeatherNovaLive Channel):



Here's an audio of the two songs:

The problem was that Heather performed a 40 minutes show, but the nationwide station ARD had one week later (on a Sunday at 5am in the morning!) only 30 minutes time, so they cut out Blue Black and Sugar and showed only the other six songs. The station WDR showed numerous times the complete 40 minutes, though, but WDR can't be seen nationwide. For example, I live outside the WDR region, so even I knew only the 30 minutes broadcast, for years, too.

I have also watched this recently on youtube and enjoyed it.
I was wondering who the bandmembers are.
