Reincarnation on Stage is the second live album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 2014.

Contents

The album was recorded on various locations during the band's 2012-2013 tour in Germany and Switzerland. It was the first Eloy live album in 36 years, since Live was released in 1978.

Background

After the release of Visionary in 2009, Eloy's leader Frank Bornemann had no intentions of getting the band back together full-time and support the album with a concert tour. The band worked on and released The Legacy Box in 2010, but had no clear plans for the future.[ citation needed ]

In 2011 Eloy received and accepted requests to play three live concerts: on 2 July at the Z7 Konzertfabrik in Pratteln, [11] [12] on 8 July at the Night of the Prog in Freilichtbühne Loreley, [13] [14] and on 17 July at the Burg Herzberg Festival in Breitenbach am Herzberg. [15] [16]

The fans' reaction was enthusiastic, and Eloy began receiving a flood of letters asking them to hold a regular tour in the near future. [17] Τhe band decided to satisfy the fans' demand and started making plans to tour Germany in 2012, but the plans were interrupted by an extraordinary offer: to play for the first time in the USA, at the famous NEARfest, on 24 June 2012. [18] Eloy were about to headline the final day of the festival, but they were forced to cancel their appearance, as Frank Bornemann was still recovering from a serious accident he suffered in March 2012. [19]

Despite the setback, Eloy went on with their German tour plans as soon as Bornemann was healthy enough to perform. With the addition of a date in Switzerland, they played 9 concerts between September 2012 and January 2013. [20] The best moments of that tour were immortalized in Reincarnation on Stage.[ citation needed ]

Reception

The album entered the German charts on 31 January 2014 and charted for two weeks, peaking at the 34th position. [21] It was the first Eloy album to chart since Ra in 1988.

Frank Bornemann himself believes that Reincarnation on Stage is the quintessential Eloy work, stating that "If you have this album, then you have everything, the essence of Eloy". [22]
