The Glorious Om Riff a.k.a. Master Builder! Welcome to the club, MP – after Invisible Opera Company of Tibet, Ozric Tentacles, Acid Mothers Temple and probably a lot more MP are part of the Om Riff Cover Conspiracy.
As a once diehard Gong fan I can only welcome this new facette to the ever growing MP covers and citations kaleidoscope.
I pesonally do not have issues with torrents as long as they are widely accessable and not too strictly regulated. Imho Motortrades is a far too close or specialized community to guarantee a regular flow of downloads for both downloaders and providers. I'm fine with Dime (note the rhyme
) – but a Motorpsycho collection on archive.org would be a wonderful thing – finally MP next to Grateful Dead in what they do (they already are, btw).
Thank you very much for all your efforts, Metallicanor and Bernie. Even a double "Hog Lied" available
Eagerly awaited and rashly consumed – still to be appropriately appreciated
I just found out what a brilliant gig this was – two weeks after the event
Spent an afternoon painting and listening to the complete gig – this combination has become one of my favourite activities…
Excellent recording on DIME – thans once more, Lars!
What a show! Lots of jamming, great great playing overall and a definite Crimson '69 feeling to the whole gig.
Could it be that we haven't seen such a massive MP tour schedule since 2002? A very good sign for all MP aficionados and all those eagerly awaiting a possible MP concert somewhere near their homes.
That is exactly the problem with this topic: Motorpsycho tend to cite, adopt or hint at tunes, song or album titles by several of their heroes. So it should be easy to find titles that could be seen as MP predecessors – while it is actually just the other way round.
So the madness starts anew. Picture some peaceful small furry animals gathered together sheltering beside the road and blocking their ears: "M… M… Motorpsycho are on tour again…"
Very interesting setlist – great for a rather short gig (in MP terms only…)
Can't wait to listen to the first live recordings of The Crucible after listening to the song almost every morning during breakfast. (The other days it's side one).
Finally overcame my MP abstinence period (last year) and ordered a ticket for Wiesbaden. Cologne is still too far away – couln't wait that long.
Obviously Bent is in Folk/songwriter mode at the moment – wonder if that will have any influence on the material they are about to record these days.
I can vividly imagine them doing Same old Rock at the start of a show or as a first encore, sitting on barstools with Bent singing and Snah doing that Jimmy Page thing on that great final riff, with Tomas playing tambourine, hand cymbals or some other kind of percussive weirdness
Motorhead`s Whorehouse Blues comes to my mind – just as a visual blueprint for the thing, musically I consider it a rather dull blues number…
If you know Roy's early Work ca. 1967-70 you will find that style and mood in many of the earlier Tull acoustic numbers.
Shame he's known to most people only through "Have a cigar". Check out the albums "Folkjokeopus" or "Stormcock" as well!
@ PL: Dates in the UK? Plural? They must be doing really well these days…
Or the British are finally coming to their senses – regarding Motorpsycho at least. No offense meant
'The Wheel, The Golden Core, S.T.G., Un Chien d'Espace, Vortex Surfer and…dammit…Ship of Fools'…
I could easily add 'The crucible' to this favourite list – I think this is a superb composition, never a lenght in 20 minutes…
As for 'Lux Aeterna': still think the track could do without the very last chorus and end on a silent note – but that would probably be like removing the spectral rainbow from Floyd's Dark Side Cover and leave the white ray alone. So be it with all transcendental pomp and glory – also a great piece.
Köln is of course 01.10.2019. And it's fuckin' Gloria! Nice venue, but from my experience not up to Motorpsycho's sonic tornado. Not the best of sound there in 2010 and 2013. I grew to like Stollwerck. And Gloria's 10 minutes longer to travel from my home – hope I'll make it…
On the other hand Mousonturm in Frankfurt sounds much better than 2017's venue. Our boys played there in 2008 I believe.
Wonder what's between these dates – 14 day tour break doesn't sound like Motorpsycho, unless they once again adopt the guerilla tactics of 2018.
