2000-03-31 Bremen, Schlachthof G

okay and here I try to report the waiting (?) audience (?) on Bremen.
First of all, if they say concert starts nine o clock, it starts nine o
clock.
five after they were playing.
(Parental Advisory: Explicit critics contained from here)
Nice Volume. Thats what I thought first.
They started with Heartbreaker to go on to high time to Goto Cal  and I
thought whats this ?
Some kind of Evening with the Happy Singers.
okay. They played Hogwash (didnīt mention it on the setlist)
( and EVEN that in some happy feeling)
same With Now its Time to Skate ( Original slightly Melancholic, now
Happy)
They enjoyed playing the new songs much, you could see that.
And yes, Snah has this *grin* every time he gets a new guitar like:
Imagine heīs in a shop and says "Oh,thats a nice one, Iīll try out that if
you donīt mind"
Black to Comm rocked, sometimes rocked not.Vortex Surfer was okay played,
but Bent had not much Energy (left ?)  so it was kind of "okay we gotta do
this"
Other than on last years tour Bent encouraged everyone to clap their hands
(several times in the show, not only on BtC) and stopped singing, grinning,
because on Now its time the crowd was singing the last verse. God, I *love*
Stadion Shows ;-/
Sound : Brutal.
What was good for them at the beginning seemed not so good in the show.
Okay, Bremen was built like an Amphitheater and that accords for some
problems, but the first two songs were okay, then guitar TOO loud ,
keyboard, Bass ( So loud it gave the speakers hearable problems to hold
their membranes in Place) ( and that for about two long session, feeling
like sitting in a (whatīs that called) Nebelhorn ( Fog-Horn?) Yeah right.
And than Guitar much too loud again.
They did a new Part on Un Chien, the second part was more quiet, more
psychedelic.
I agree with Andrea (Who came into the concert NOW. In the middle of the
first encore. They told him concert is 10 thirty. (with Tsool correct i
think) Well.)
on the matter that this part was a very beautiful minutes, in psychedelic
hights I havenīt heard from them. Sounded like DEathprod. Was still with
the
Band live.....
Andrea says they didnīt play that part in Norway. So itīs new. ( Sounded
like something that originally  fitted into Demon Box)
Yeah. Thats my confused report.
Afterword:
I agree with my Ex on the point that if they hadnīt switched over to BtC
and
UcdE,
doing Psycho Sessions, this would be our last tour. (only listening to the
studio albums then)
I once said if they play in 1000+ Halls only Iīd be quitting going to the
concerts, because I personally have a fear of people masses and only can
have so many people around me.
I once was to a stadion concert. Yeah. I saw them from the Fotographers
point opposite to the stage on 200m distance (metallica was that)
I like small clubs. But someone closes them all. (Sniff Sniff)

Hi
A few minutes ago we returned from our odyssee. After beeing about 15 hours
and 700km on the road for seeing Motorpsycho in Bremen we regret nothing.
Like always;-)
The gig was simply great! They played 17 songs and they had really fun. It
was the same with us: standing in the first row and smiling all the time.
And now the songs like the are written on the setlist:
1.  HEARTBRÆKER
2.  HAI TAIM
3.  ZE ODDER FUL
4.  NEVALETYAOUT
5.  GO TO CAL.
6.  UP/DOWN
7.  SKÆIT
8.  BIG SURPRISE
9.  ZE ONE WHO...
10. HEI JANNE
11. NERVE TATTOO
12. W.W.J.
13. HOGWASH
14. U LIED
15. B > C
-----------
16. UN CHIEN DīESPACE (about 20min)
-----------
17. VORTEX SURFER

I think you all know what songs are meant;)
The mood was unbelievable. The guys had some problems in a few songs, but
you felt that they enjoyed playing. And they really rocked.
The "Schlachthof" was quit cool because of itīs huge architecture: an old
factory hall with all that typical stuff.
The strangest thing were the terasses. Most of the people sat and danced
there and it was great.
Now itīs about 8:30a.m. and I have to go to bed - need some sleep.

Space is the place
