There is still a little gap in the november tour plan between Erlangen 13th and Rolling Stone Park Rust on the 17th. Probably one or two more shows in southern Germany?
Heidelberg or Mannheim would be great. Freiburg also an option – MP never played there, although there should be an audience in Germany's "alternative capital".
Whatever the sound at the gig itself – Rune's Recording (and Spacebandit's editing for DIME) is just great. What a gig! One of the best of 2018 so far – great Sonata, great Mac To Source, Eagle's Son once again… Could go on forever.
Thanx a lot, mates!
Sometimes the "short" festival gigs can get better than the regular full 2 1/2-3h onslaught imho. Herzberg 2011 & 15 and especially Freak Valley 2014 rank among my favourite MP gigs.
Thanks a lot four your video posts!
Btw: find the video light show quite good – by far not as unsatisfying as Bent had it in his 2017 comments. Sometimes a little chaotic, but even then quite adequate and artistically satisfying.
@jms – Thanks for the infomation. Sadly Cologne 08 is the one of the three show mentioned I already have. Hopefully there's more in the next few weeks.
Urgent request:
Please upload shows on DIME first. Contrary to motortrades DIME is not exclusive – you can go on uploading them elsewhere (i.e. motortrades) next.
Several of us are not on mtrades and – at least for my part – are quite content with DIME.
So – please!!!
Roadwork V as a 3 LP volume is adequate, but the tracks should have been:
LP1 (2013)
A:
August
Ãœberwagner feat. the Pilgrim
B:
True Middle
The Ocean In Her Eye
Fool's Gold
LP2 (2014) A&B:
Düsseldorf Thunderhell
LP3 (2015)
A:
Year Zero
Through The Veil
B:
Starhammer
On A Plate
Into The Sun
Sadly MP missed the opportunity to record some of their best live output of the Kenneth era. The tours 2013 – 2015 were just brilliant. When they finally tried in 2016 it was already too late – probably appropriate that the attempted recordings didn't turn out satisfactory.
So this fictional RW V will probably enter MP history as the Great Lost Roadwork.
Oh yes – and it should of course be called "A Collection Of Great Motorpsychedelic Dance Songs"
RW V should thus actually be RW VI.
Anyway – it's much anticipated under any name.
They could use the plunderphonics method – remember the "Grayfolded" album with 2 cd-long mix versions consisting of every "Dark Star" ever recorded live by the Dead?

Hope they don't try it with "Neverland" though…
My guess:
A1: Un Chien de Cologne 1
A2: Un Chien de Cologne 2
B1: The Cuckoo
Heartattack Mac
B2: In Every Dream Home
Lacuna Sunrise (Leipzig)
C1: Lacuna Sunrise (Leipzig Pt. 2)
C2: Bartok (or preferably A.S.F.E.)
Taifun
Probably something completely different…
Yahoo! I'm in for RW III and V. Already wondered whether RW V would include one of these extragalactical space dogs – preferably the Cologne one. That would inevitably make it a triple album. Fantasies come true!
As for the other RW releases – I love 'em! RW I had been my favourite MP record for a while (when I only had two of them and had listened Trust Us to death…) – and RW II is just wonderful. Found RW IV a bit disappointing – they probably should have gone for the triple format back then already. Should have included Cornucopia in full at the least – and a little bit more of HMF. RW III also includes a fantastic version of 577 – reason enough to buy its vinyl twin.
I never really treasured Demon Box in the original CD version. Somehow too much noise and too little harmonic content for me. That having said – I always loved several songs on it, but as a whole it didn't do for me – until the 2LP re-release came out. And wow – suddenly all the pieces fell into shape: a great album indeed! With "Mountain" included and on 4 LP sides it's a different beast!
Listened to "It's A Love Cult" recently (also 2-LP version) and refreshed my original esteem for the album. As a whole definitely another MP highlight, whatever you might think. Had forgotten how good it sounded – great rockers, great "Mirror & the Lie", excellent production, clear % well sung vocals not submerged in the mix or weakened by too many yes-ish harmony backing as happened so often in the Kenneth era. (COTF !)
@ pfnuesel: You're almost right – setlist fm lists 194 Chiens and 177 Plans. And yet you cannot be sure to expect a K9 every second gig. And how could they play K9 to death? Lots of variations over the years…
@ supernaut: for comparison look at festival setlists from Herzberg Festival 2008, 11 and 15 or Freak Valley 2014 – always a good mix of some recent stuff with one or two oldies and lots of jamming, sometimes the odd cover mixed in, mostly Into The Sun.
