The whole Köln gig!

how to download??
Anyone else tried to download the concert clips with realplayer? The first part stops after about two thirds… any other programs to download this?
I have some booties with Jacco and they are brilliant. Sheeeeeeeeer Heart Attack! And there’s that open air video on the net with him and Oiyvind (ooops forgot his name) which is flawless, no?
Ah I cannot withstand it, so here I go:
It’s – said thousandfold – wonderful that MP is going on as strong as ever, thanks to Kenneth. Geb’s great legacy is his diversity. He played on Demon Box, on LTEC, on Fleshharrower and Manmower, on Watersound and Feedtime and Go To California and the Fishtank stuff and that huge amazing brontosaurus K9 suite. I hope that this diversity can be maintained with Kenneth, meaning the path has not been set at all by LLM and COTF. But that doors are slammed wide open. If you know what I mean. To me that’s more interesting to see in the future than who’s the more skillful drummer.
GBD, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like reading this too often here. That Ken is sooooo much better than Geb blabla. It might be true (and who I am to doubt Bent’s statement to this) but did anyone ever notice anything bad or lacking about Geb’s playing before 2004? We had a great time at the shows and with the records for 14 years and yes now it IS time to skate on.
Quote:Kenneth Kicks his ass in skill imoMy wish for 2010: Could we slowly start to drop this? I find it kinda embarrassing. Even if Geb’s work is being credited in the same second, which actually reads sometimes like a quick excuse or something.
Now it’s Kenneth, yay, great drummer, woohoo, but please… :wink:
If I was Geb and would care to read this board, I would feel slightly pissed. And rightly so.

I don’t care if Geb or Kenneth is “better”. I always admired Geb for his kinda light and “flying” grooves. He’s not the dumb downbeat one two one two drummer. This added a lot to my love for MP music. Having Kenneth now is first and foremost a miracle. He adds a different edge, but something’s lost just as well. Which is normal. No complaints. I was really worried when Geb left. Jacco of course did fine, but a bit too conventional. I don’t know what Bent’s learned in the last years, I just noticed that on this tour they got quite funky. That’s new, no?
