Live in Bayern is an album released in 1981 by jazz rock guitarist Volker Kriegel and his band Mild Maniac Orchestra . It was recorded in December 1980 as part of a concert at the Marienkäfer club in Munich and contains six pieces written by Kriegel and Hans Peter Ströer that cannot be found on the band's studio releases. Live in Bavaria was Kriegel's last release on the MPS label and at the same time the last record to be released under the name Mild Maniac Orchestra , even if the members of the Mild Maniac Orchestra were also involved in the follow-up album Journal .

Cover design
The album cover shows a photo of the band on the corner of the ladybug at the end of the line at the club entrance. The photo was taken by the Hamburg photographer Bodo Dretzke .
criticism
The "much noticed" album ( Martin Kunzler ) could only partially convince the jazz critics, especially in comparison to the previous album Long Distance , in which guest musicians from beyond the Mild Maniac Orchestra were involved:
"The Kriegel Band 1981 presents itself as exhausted in terms of composition, honest in the arrangement and rather thin in execution. Compared to the 1978 LP with Ack van Rooyen and Wolfgang Schlüter , who knew how to set new, invigorating accents, this disc ranks a few quality classes lower. (...) the biggest shortcoming seems to be a lack of compositional imagination. "
