Signale Aus Der Schwabischen Strasse was a German documentary, broadcast on the SFB (Sender Freies Berlin) channel, based in Berlin, Germany on 23rd May 1976. The documentary was about the German band, Tangerine Dream, which includes informal interviews and concert/studio footage, most of which seems to have been done exclusively for the film. The interviews are in the German language. The Berlin street name (Schwabischen Strasse) in the title refers to where member Edgar Froese used to live in Berlin (apparently another member, Klaus Schulze, lived on the same street at the time).

Tangerine Dream - Signale aus der Schwäbischen Straße (1976)
Peel can be seen at 14:13 of the video and be heard dubbed in German between 19:24 and 19:43 of the video.
Peel makes an appearance in the programme, where he is dubbed in German, involving debating in a panel about Rock ‘n’ Roll music.
According to wiki user Eddie Berlin, who translated the German language dub of Peel speaking in the programme, Peel is shown objecting to the thesis that Rock'n'Roll is a primitive music (19:24 - 19:43)
"No, no, no, Rock'n'Roll is not primitive at all, but elemental, let's say it is originally. And the thing that bothers me most about your reasoning is that you bring Rock'n'Roll back to a level that comes suspiciously close to the scope of an 'art discussion', 'art' capitalised."
The panel included Tony Palmer (a music critic), Miles (a rock journalist), Edgar Froese (member of Tangerine Dream) and other people.
