I was hoping for a closing of the gaps in the European tour schedule, but still…
Probably one or two more gigs in the Benelux area – and hopefully one more in Germany on the way to Switzerland (Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Heidelberg – Wiesbaden would be great!!!)?
Obviously there's something Italian planned after Fribourg – geography suggests a round through several old haunts south of the alps before returning to Vienna.
@ naur: I was there too. Good concert – though I've seen better ones. Great setlist. Still the typical sound problems at Gloria – too loud for a good mix. As I recorded that gig then I was at least having the best possible sound available standing next to the mixing desk. But these days I need room to move!
@ Tomcat: As you will know, the pit at Gloria is an acoustic hell pit
Only good sound center around mixing desk. I know from experience.
But: I could bathe in bass vibratons directly from Bent's stage amp…
We'll see…
Fucking Gloria – I want to look up to Motorpsycho, not to look down on them! Let it be Stollwerck!!!
Funny – I just recently considered next May to be the best time for the next full motorpsychedelic trip out of Norway. Keep your fingers crossed!
@PunjLizard: November 23rd is my birthday and I like creating havoc projecting it to the most absurd places in the universe, for instance Motorpsycho tickets
At Rosendal the concept was music & dance – so not necessarily conceived for an ordinary "rock" audience, though probably everybody came just for that.
@ mikke:
– MP is at the border of what rock music can be, there should be no surprise to anyone this concept don't appeal to lots of people. – Yep, the concept is called "Ãœberwagner"
@ supernaut: Losing half the crowd? Not bad, but CAN alledgedly did it better in 1970 – at their first gig with Damo Suzuki in Munich they lost almost everybody – only 10-15 per cent remained – or was it 10-15 people?
Wow! Bernie, you've out-bernied yourself this time! Next you'll post the vids BEFORE the gig…
Thank you very, very much!
Monthy Python on acid? Does that imply extremely funny walks?
Mind: for a ballet lover or expert it might be the other way round – an avantgarde dance performance with very strange musical background, performed by an absurdely under-manned progressive rock orchestra with limited vocal abilities
I'm speechless. Nothing to add to all the praise Bernie rightfully reveives. Just brilliant.
As for the band – high time for the already mentioned future "Beards" DVD. Musically self-evident – but alsy beardwise. The full facial hair has gone full circle now and rests with the hard-working skinbanger. ZZ Top is dead – long live Motorpsycho!
Btw.: Snah reminds me a lot of Jan Akkerman on this one – facewise and also body language – as if I could remember Jan's stage presence from the only gig I saw him live on stage somewhere in the 90s, right after Leslie West had ruined the guitar amp Jan was to go on with…
@ Jero: the Motorpsycho part was rather easy – not a big surprise to spot these titles. But I admit I tried to have fun to find out the Colin Newman song. It seems it's an album / song title from 1988, but I'm not sure if this is the one you meant.
@ suntripper: you obviously go for the unexpectable with a tendency to alter between the spectacular and sometimes the boring
For me that formula describes exactly my No.1,2 or three (depends), the Grateful Dead…
@ Jero: Great link! Hortz für den Stehken west! (Whatever that means…)
I somehow remember that Herzberg sampler – probably was on it with Freak City Band myself and therefore receiving a copy. Can't find it any more though – and I'm not sure which Hogwash version was on it. Probably the 2011 version which you can find in the first part of the Motorpsycho Herzberg Set from 2011 on motorpsychodelicclips.
The 2008 gig was Motorpsycho's first at Herzberg. If I remember correctly they were on on Friday around 23.00 – 0.45, followed by Colour Haze who played until 2.30 in the morning.
A rather badly lit affair, but well-attended. High-energy playing, Motorpsycho making quite a few new converts. Although Herzberg is usually quite well-documented sound- and videowise, I don't think there are any videos covering the whole gig. Only in 2010 the Hippies United collective started filming very few selected shows, among them the full 2011 Motorpsycho gig at Herzberg.
– To close an old topic: Just found the CD on discogs:
must have been the 2008 Hoghwash version then…
Hell I-VII at Zakk, Düsseldorf 09.06.2014

Close Your Eyes – played as an encore at the Unicorn gig in Cologne, Stollwerck 17.04.2012. Starting very, very calm and building slowly up, yet very intensive – what a relief after the somewhat tiring Unicorn stuff (not the best sound, no stops between songs, 1h full-on Motorpsychedelic torture).
