Rockpalast is a live album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, named after the eponymous music festival it was recorded at on 19 November 2005 (see 2005 in music) at the Live Music Hall in Köln, Germany. It was also filmed for a Rockpalast TV special, but not all songs made the broadcast. It is only available to download on the band's official website, and cannot be purchased in stores. The performance relies almost entirely on Deadwing and In Absentia material, with only one older song making the set list. The performances of "Futile" and "Radioactive Toy" were later included as bonus material on the Arriving Somewhere... DVD.
Rockpalast (Rock Palace) is a German music television show that broadcasts live on German television station Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). Rockpalast started in 1974 and continues to this day. Hundreds of rock and jazz bands have performed on Rockpalast. Some acts were recorded for broadcast and for retail sale. All-night marathon shows called “Rock Night” (Rocknacht) were produced once or twice a year from 1977 through 1986 and simulcast throughout Europe via the Eurovision network of TV broadcasters. Rockpalast is involved in several German pop, rock and underground music festivals, once sponsoring Bizarre Festival.
The founder and long-time producer of Rockpalast is Peter Rüchel.
