Drunken Viking
My oh my!
Approximatly 2 hours of pure pleasure...
First,a rather lame attempt to construct a set list:

*a new song - raw
*another new song - even more impressive
*yet another new song (I think) - wow,can hardly wait for their next
record.
*a looong,totally trancending version of K9suite - well..words are
really un-neccesary here....it was pure magic

*You Lied- I luved it,made me jump !
*Black to comm (the mc5-cover from the live album) - jumped even
more.. 
       
*Vortex Surfer - that song's just getting better and better

Well,I do not think this is right because sadly I can't remember
much.I was like floating in the air,shearing a joint with Hendrix and
Morrison.I just stood there,paralyzed,watching Bents monstorous      
bassriffs,Snahs rather beautiful fingerwork and guitarwanking and the
unstoppable drum-machine,the mighty Geb(don't he ever get tired?).I  
had only heard Motorpsychoon records (a lot!) before this,but to be  
there,and watch,hear and feel the magic onstage.......well....say no 
more......
          
Roskilde here I come !!!

I'm sitting at work trying to get through the day after very little sleep
this night. I live and work in Oslo, but know a lot of people in Bø, so I
went Bø to see the show at Kroa yesterday. I had to be back at work today
eight o'clock. I managed, but I'm tired as hell. 

Anyway.
       
Great show. Kroa is a good place to be. Nice people and good sound. It was
pretty crowded, but not sold out. I got kinda drunk before the show, as the
beer (33cl, that is) was only 15 kroner.  When Motorpsycho started playing,
however, I realized that they were about to kick some serious ass. The     
setlist was as follows:

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. Superstooge / The Wheel
5. K9
--   
6. You Lied
7. Black To Comm
--              
8. Vortex Surfer
                
I heard all of the new ones at Rockefeller, but I am unable to identify the
names of the songs. I didn't drink at Rockefeller, but I did yesterday...  
:-(  Hopefully someone has got the complete setlist.

A bit surprising maybe that they played so few songs, but the concert lasted
almost two hours. Superwheel and K9 was maybe half the show, in duration, I 
mean. But I've really not heard K9 better than yesterday. I got to stand in 
front too, and that really enhanced my experience of the concert. Vortex    
Surfer was also, as always, [fill in superlatives of choice here].          

I have to throw in my $0.02 regarding the talking/singing at concerts
dispute taking place these days. During the intro to K9, there where some
girls next to me, up in front, talking really loud to eachother (they where
more shouting than talking) about, guess what, how much they disliked examen
philosophicum, and what they were going to study the three-four next years. 
I told them to please shut up and they did. But I think it should be        
unnecessary. People should think more and talk less.                        

I think the post from Stickman Records generally sums this debate up pretty
good, but I have a comment:
> I've told people to      
> shut up before and it's always worked for me.  And I actually find it fun
> to watch people flip out and enjoy a concert and people singing/yelling  
> stupid things/etc can also add fun & humor to an evening.  And I'm sure  
> that Motorpsycho also enjoy it when a crowd sings along and take the     
> "unlucky" side of people being noisy at the quiet times in account.      

Yesterday, during Vortex Surfer, on the little guitar melody that Snah
plays, and Geb still plays bells, someone shouted something (don't remember
what) really loud, and I noticed Geb turning around with a really grim     
expression on his face, looking in the direction of the noise. He missed a 
couple of notes, too. Vortex Surfer is a serious song ("It would be too much
like death"), and personally I think Vortex Sorfer and rølp are             
incompatible. 
              
Trivia: Bent had skeleton pants and a Sanderfinger t-shirt (black with white
text). He also rocked quite a bit, maybe more than usual. He seemed happy.  

Sorry about the incomplete setlist, but you can't always have everything,
can you? :-)
