At the time of this first appearance in 1977, the band stand between two albums. This was after Outside the Law (MIG 00292 CD), and after the post-USA split. Cliff had returned from his road trip to Kathmandu, and it was time get back to work. It was the original line-up again, but there was a big bust up, and Jim McGillivray left. Then came the phone call from Rockpalast, and Fritz Randow was pulled in to do drums. With just two weeks for Fritz to become the new EPITAPH drummer, the band hired a studio and practised daily. While Jim had a massive drum kit, Fritz had a very small, Phil Collins-style kit, because he was a great Phil Collins fan, with an 18-inch bass drum the size of Jim’s stand tom.
With such a small kit, Fritz lacked Jim’s wall-to-wall sound, but he played well and also fitted in well in the fluorescent green painted former school in Graue that was home to EPITAPH at this time.
The Rockpalast gig was also a life-saver, because they were paid DM 2,500, quite a lot of money in those days.
Cliff remembers that “it was recorded in the studio with a small audience of about 30 people. Because of the cameras, the audience was about 30 to 40 metres away and it was very hard to play like that.”
This appearance was part of a series that included bands like Ted Nugent, Nils Lofgren, and Tom Petty. EPITAPH was the only German band included, fitted in between all the American bands.
