TM Stevens The River Flow (Shocka Zooloo Tour (Fehmarn 2003) 2004)

For some time now, I have been working through my archive of recordings that I made back then. I'm especially happy to have found material that has never been published before and that I'd like to show you. I particularly look back on my time with TM Stevens when he released his album Shocka Zooloo on my label "B & 3" worldwide (except Japan).
For this compilation of footage from tours through Germany between 2003 and 2004, I chose The River Flow, as this song is one of my favourites that TM Stevens ever composed.
The highlight of the Shocka Zooloo tour in 2003 was his performance as main act at the Tribute to Jimi Hendrix Festival on Fehmarn 2003, where Jimi Hendrix had performed for the last time before his untimely death in 1970.
I look forward to reading your comments. Enjoy the video. There is more to come.

Lyris by T.M. Stevens
Maybe you can feel
The same way that I do
I don't really know
Cause I'm me and not you
Different color visions
We all can't agree
Getting through this problem
Is impossible to me
Seeing, being color blind
There's nothing but good
Keep our younger innocents
I would if I could
Why we have to grow up
Everything gets unclear
All our natural feelings
Transforms into fear
I want to know
would you stand by me
and watch the river flow
Through thick and thin
Would you be
In the skin that I'm in
Flowing kinky locks
Like the lion's mane
Your hair is blonde and straight
Could we still be the same
Beauty's in the eyes
Of a looker who looks
Love is a reality of touching
Not in books
All the hues and cultures
Are there to be shared
Ignorance is a mask
There to make us scared
I want to know
would you stand by me
and watch the river flow
Through thick and thin
Would you be
In the skin that I'm in
we start believing
If we see through the eyes
Of a child
Could we conceive in
Give an inch until that inch
Becomes a mile
I want to know
would you stand by me
and watch the river flow
Through thick and thin
Would you be
In the skin that I'm in
Eyes-child
World-smile
Face-race
No space-waste

So wonderful to see this footage Burghardt - thank you for the amazing work putting this together. I will show TM your films, I know he will love them. Great to see this footage of Gary "G-Man" Sullivan on drums, PM Eaton and Michael "Master Blaster" Barnes on Vocals and Guitars, M.F. Kera as a guest vocalist! Great stuff. Really loved seeing the shots of us all at the Berlin Wall. You were such an amazing host to TM in Berlin.

How is TM doing? Ive been following him since 2011, i must of been about 12 and literally changed my life when i first discovered him, my fashion, my style, the color he brought into my life, i went hour after hour on bass learning everything from just watching him, no lessons no nothing, i always had this dream in my head that when i was good enough i would be invited to namm and meet him at the warwick booth, it got me through the entire death of my mother even, the daydreams of impressing the guy that basically taught me how to play, i couldnt believe what i read cerca 2018 when i noticed he was super quiet on the warwick channels and found out he was down.. damn.. give him the wishes and all the luck from this random guy called Daniel in ireland, whos always been there even if on the other side and will always be!!

@@ThatRainbowDude Oh ma... Daniel thank you so much for your words, which have touched me very much. We all hope that he will get through this difficult situation well. Whether forward or back. Without much suffering.
