Eberhard Schoener (who had toured with Procol Harum, his Munich Chamber Opera Orchestra and the Toelzer Boys Choir in Germany, Austria and Switzerland 1972) invited Gary for his CLASSICAL ROCK NIGHT in Munich in 1980 and 1982. This is Gary's contribution to the first night's (of two) concert in 1982. Other guests included Klaus Nomi, Ultravox, Lucio Dalla, Trio, Mike Oldfield und Hazel O’Connor.

There has never been a retransmission of this event and private VHS recorders at that time were rare! So this may be the only surviving tape of that very night !!

(thank you Fritz for providing this ultra rare material)
