I found another live recording and corrected some parts – riffs [00m32s], [01m24s], 01m45s] and the end of [02m21s] – I overwrote the first post, so the corrections are there
Thanks supernaut! There's more riffs in there within the first 7 minutes than in other bands' whole albums

Actually,N.O.X IV….
The title track to me represents the pinnacle of Motorpsycho. This song is so incredibly amazing. All the complex and beautiful melodies, the unity of lyrics and music, the perfect transitions between parts (especially the transitions at 2:21 and how it comes back to the verse at around 17:12 give me shivers all the time), that wonderful, diverse and ever-changing intro, the incredible drums, the vocal melodies, the riffs, the solos, the build up, the heavy and dark middle part representing the horrors of war, how it all comes back together in the end – this song simply has everything that makes MP so incredible.
Motorpsycho albums nowadays are a lot like Beethoven symphonies – at first complex and demanding for the listener, difficult to fully get into it; but after a couple of spins it suddenly makes click and you're sucked in deep into the music, and the beauty of it unfolds and sends you shivers down your spine each and every time you listen to it.
Amazing.
Great show in terms of sound quality and playing, but the singing was horrible
Too bad that many live recordings of recent years have the same issue.
I'll recommend my favourite MP bootleg – the Rockefeller Gig in Oslo, October 19, 2001, feat. Jaga Jazzist. Incredible bootleg with great variety, great sound and great performance. Setlist-wise quite a lot of Phanerothyme, LTEC and Trust Us, paired with some classics and a remarkable Taifun as gig ender. All in all a very uplifting concert with only few of the darker songs. Incredible version of She Used To Be A Twin and a brilliant Jazz Jam. 23 Songs in total, 2h24min of bliss.
That is a really great concert, I love this performance.
I've actually been to this Bizarre Festival; however, I was not aware of Motorpsycho back then, so I didn't see them, but saw some other band at another stage. After the festival, I videotaped everything that German TV station WDR broadcast of that festival weekend. This was when I first heard Motorpsycho – it is this recording that got me hooked, so this gig holds a special place in my heart!
I'd recommend starting a new thread for a tab of another song..as regards Ocean in her eye: According to the original lyrics on motorpsycho.fix.no, the tuning for this song is dacf#ad..
I'd say that depends heavily on the taste of the person you want to inaugurate. Whenever I try to get people into MP, I'll always evaluate their taste and recommend an album that I deem appropriate for them. So the entry into the MP catalogue is always somewhere else.
For example, I once made a compilation for someone on 4 CDs, roughly categorizing into 4 parts – Mellow, Pop/Jazzy, Rock and Psychedelic. For that person, the order was perfect, starting with the more mellow stuff and slowly progressing into the far out psychedelic realms.
However, generally I like to introduce them with LLM. I think the Supersonic Scientists should be a good overview as well.
As BronYAur pointed out, Whip That Ghost is a reference to The Allman Brothers – more specifically, the original song is called "Whipping Post"
I also love how the classic Maiden fill from Where Eagles Dare is used twice in Kvaestor (where Greyhounds dare). Genious.
Interesting discussion. Very interesting to see how people feel so differently about some songs.
As for me, I'm one of those who love every single MP album in its own right. I find Unicorn to be one of the greatest musical achievements of this decade; I adore IALC for its beauty and for being different (Circles and The Mirror and the lie stand out here, also Carousel. And Neverland is such an uplifting tune – yes it's cheesy, but it's damn good cheese there).
I'm in awe for the greatness of Folk Flest (however, I must admit that I only listen to the 4 main songs; I have my difficulties getting a grasp of Storlokken's musical language. But the 4 mainsongs get regular airplay.
I love BHBC for its compact rock songs; I totally dig the Tussler albums (especially the second one – esp. Cassie! What a track; how I'd love to hear that live). I thoroughly enjoy the Motorpnarkotic Manuscripts.
Trust Us, Timothys Monster, Blissard – Masterpieces. So are LLM, HMF or Eggplant.
I find joy in almost everything they have released, there's just so much musicality, diversity and creativity in their whole back catalogue.
Although I must admit that Roadwork 2 is a bit cumbersome
