Almost 23 years ago I wrote the following for Gnosis (slightly edited): "Solar Music Live is the follow-up album to Rockpommel's Land which gives the listener a glimpse into their ever-evolving and creative live show. This is about Grobschnitt living up to its potential and doing what they do best. Taking album #2 of Ballermann as its base, this live effort adds a whole new energy to the original recording. One of the strongest recordings of its kind - the listener will be hard pressed not to be entranced by its power. Lupo's guitar here is particularly engaging and Eroc's drumming is quite powerful."

That may very well be the last time I'd heard this album in full, which is why the record is now making its debut into the UMR. I'll also note that the track isn't just a long jam, but does feature many changes in the progressive rock tradition. Ultimately Solar Music is Grobschnitt's signature composition.
Ownership: 1978 Brain. Gatefold. Acquired at the Austin Record show way back in 1989. I'm pretty sure I got this from Rich at Rockadelic.
