Not to enjoy the beautiful view of the river Rhine and not to be seduced by Lore Lay, the enchantress, whose beauty, according to the legend, would inevitably have led to his death. Rather, he wanted to give a breathtaking concert with his "Friends" (Walter Keiser - drums, percussions and Pedro Haldemann - percussions) on the evening of August 29, 1982 on the stage of the beautiful open-air theater.

By the way: Achim Reichel was also there that day, as well as the British reggae stars UB 40.

In 1982, the extraordinary career of the then 28- year- old Andreas Vollenweider was just beginning. A year earlier he had released his album "Behind The Gardens - Behind The Wall - Under The Tree". A mega- success, worldwide. With his unmistakable, unique style, his very colorful, dynamic music, also characterized by the variety of exotic timbres, Vollenweider inspired an audience of millions in a short time. Together with his fellow musicians, he succeeds in creating this magic at the Lorelei Rock and captivating the audience with his music. The legendary Lore Lay could lean back, her magic skills were not needed. That was done by master of ceremonies Vollenweider himself, together with his two "assistants": they (musically) enchanted the audience.

A small novelty: For whatever reason, this Rockpalast was never broadcast. So, it's all the more gratifying that it's now available, in excellent audio and video quality.Unique live concert by the then 28- year- old Andreas Vollenweider, recorded by WDR at the Loreley Open Air Festival on August 29, 1982.
