Hi g-35-ppl
The concert was brilliant. it was....the best. dont know what<
to say actually. Im not a good "concert-reviewer". Anyway, since
im getting up at 04.30 every day (going to work) i was v e r y
tired friday night. Too tired. ..think the only band who could
keep me awake that night was MP. I remember STG, Un Chien, Like
Always as....epic moments. Young mans blues was a big surprise for
me cause i was a bit "tired" of that tune. It was great. And...
they didnt even play a single tune (i guess) from Demon/Tim, how
about that! Now.. i just wish i could see them abroad. Damn, that
next album has to be a good one:)
Martin Furan:
To me the concert was easily the best mp consert I've been to. The
dissapointment because of no Demon Box songs (in my opinion their best
album) was forgotten when I heard the new songs. Simply great. I loved the
song that started off slow and clean with Bent singing a couple of verses
(something about a girl ...) and after a while it exploded without warning.
Does anybody know what it's called. I think they played it somewhere in the
middle of the set.
Mats Johansen:
During the "Young Man Blues" jam, Snah suddenly ventured into a
previously unknown territory with some new guitar sounds. Bent
reacted spontaneously and started to smile and nod his head. And
before you knew, they had started to emulate each other: Snah playing
his guitar with Bent copying the guitar lick with his voice. Those of
you who have heard Deep Purple's live album "Made in Japan" know what
i talk about: Blackmore and Gillan's fondling with "Strange Kind of
Woman". What a joy for Deep Purple fans in the audience. Confirms
that Snah is a Blackmore fan (Does he nod his head sometimes the
way Blackmore did in the 70's, or is it just me?).
The show itself were truly amazing with the band in top form. Although i missed some songs, i feel that this show were one of the absolutely best ever. They have an amazing collection of songs now, and showing of the new songs which were previewed at the gig, it seens that the new album wil be a truly classic!!!
We're really lucky to have these guys... : )

Motorpsycho at Rockefeller Music Hall, Oslo, 24.10.97
Support: Butt Mart (Matt Burt and Kim Hiorthøy)
Audience: crowded
Setlist: not available
In lack of any better words, I will have to express my response to this concert in Norwegian: jævla bra!!!!!! In my opinion this must be one of the best concerts I've ever attended. The sound was loud, but controlled. The band was fit for fight and played it tight. They played quite a few new songs and they also sounded perfect. Songs like S.T.G. and Un Chien d'Espace (never before could a dog have been further out in space than this night!) were purely extatic. I dare to say: let any other band play Motorpsycho and it will sound accidental. With Motorpsycho it sounds devine, like a masterplan beeing unfold.
But: words are poor; the concert was rich. Therefore I will speak no more (well, maybe once or twice)!
In deepest gratitude and respect, Frode Leirvik
PS! Thanks to Lolly for letting me in!
