Bergens Tidende gives the show 4/6. The review opens with the statement “There’s no point trying to understand this show”.

Yeah, a nice show, but it’s not the same without a drummer. The dancer was fun. They ended with Sister Ray; the only song with vocals.

Norwegian only, I presume.

Setlists.fm also lists The Waning between The Cuckoo and Rock Bottom.

@paolinogrande: “What a band!” – I used the exact same phrase when texting a friend after the concert. One of the most enjoyable MP-shows I’ve been to in a couple of years. The sound was good, the mood was good, and their choice of songs was excellent. I tend to enjoy it when they offer something from the early 90s, and to get both Mountain and PLan#1 was a treat.

I was standing by the mixing board, behind someone who listed all the songs played on his phone. Was this you, GBD, seeing that you posted the setlist so soon after the show finished?

There is a slightly longer review on my blog, in case anybody feels like practicing their Norwegian: https://kulturguffen.blogspot.com/2022/10/motorpsycho-union-scene-drammen-14102022.html

That’s OK – ticket gone.

I still have a spare for the Drammen show, October 14th. 410 kroner. Get in touch at jymbre¤gmail.com if you’te interested.

Still no takers. Will it help if I reduce the price somewhat? 300 kroner? 250?

I have a spare ticket for the show in Drammen, October 14th. E-mail me at jymbre¤gmail.com if you’re interested. I paid 410 kroner for it, it’s yours for the same amount.

I (and all the other very old punk rockers here) am very happy to see that Motorpsycho has finally decided to name an album (or rather, two box sets) after a Minor Threat EP.

[kjesso]

Concerts visited: 46 (1992-2022), plus a couple of Tusslers and a performance of Begynnelser.

Locations: Bergen (nine different venues), Oslo (three venues), Tønsberg, Molde, Voss (twice), Trondheim (three times), Ås. All of these are in Norway, but I hope to add some foreign cities during a forthcoming tour.

Different songs played: 213

Song played most often: STG (17)

Song anticipated most: Too many to mention, but K9 is always a treasure. As is Feedtime. And The Core.

Specials:

* The first show, at Hulen – a sparsely attended show, where half of those present drifted over to the dance floor before the show was over.

* Timothy's at Øya; Demon Box at Slottsfjell; The Unicorn at the Opera

* K9 at Landmark, Bergen, in September 2017.

* The most special thing is to have been able to follow the band for so many years, to see them grow, and to hop along for such an amazing musical ride. I didn't see a proper MP show between 2002 and 2009 (due to geography and me becoming a father), but I have a hunch that I will keep going to MP shows until they or I call it a day.

@blashyrkh: I have also tried to register, but haven't been allowed in yet. Username: kjesso

@Ozzak: I agree – for an oldie*) like me Plan #1 was a higlight, on a very fine night. Another highlight was when somebody in the audience shouted "DEMON BOX", and Bent laughed and said "Ja, særlig!" ("Yeah, right").

*) I first saw them at Hulen, Bergen, in March 1992.
