Quote:YET ANOTHER HMFruit thing instead of some Blissard or K9,
Maybe they're already done with K9 and some Blissard songs on this tour and want to play stuff they haven't yet. My taste doesn't mind Hi-time and You lied. I love the solo part in the former supported by that bassline. In Bern we didn't get K9 and STG. Best to go see a MP show with no wishlist. :mrgreen: I wonder which song I've seen them play most. I think it's Hogwash, I have the impression they played that one everytime… but since they usually space out on it I'm happy about it. That big part when (nerd alert!) they go from D to C and back to C# ("Hogwash! I hate you!") and then into the fast loopy lick is always AMAZING!
ah that poster, I completely forgot to look for one to tear off somewhere and take home but bought the merch one with the eggplant zeppelin.
that's not a setlist to complain about. taifun played here and two days before but not yesterday and guess which show i was attending. grrrrr….
I've seen them close to 20 times since 1996 and I feel very sorry for those (and i know a few) who stopped going to see them more than ten years ago because of "ah nowadays is just bla bla and demon box and timmy were blabla…". I did watch the 2002 show from the Haircuts DVD today though and yes, that one surely isn't less impressive than todays shows. But the experience today is just as great as it ever was. And there's all the new music that is really just as grand as anything they've ever done, which is the most impressive fact of all.
Overall a very energetic, rocking set. Watersound, Bedroom Eyes and Upstairs/Downstairs were the soft moments. It wasn't all too spacey this time with the exception of Arne. Ãœberwagner/Pilgrim was amazing. I don't know neither Wishbone Ash nor that song. I would have guessed it's a lost King Crimson thingy. The interplay of bass, drums and guitars is just jawdropping. When they rocked out, say in August, Ratcatcher or Cornucopia (that riff! that riff!), it was sheer bliss. Tight but wild, out there but in total control. I love how they are not afraid of letting it rip. No rules of "cool" here. No dos no don'ts. No fear no mercy no compromise. Fool's Gold was HUGE, from a little ditty on Blissard into this big emotional number with boomy Moog notes and nice lighting choreograpy with those living room lamps. Not quite The Golden Vortex but as close as it got this evening and quite a highlight. Sinful & Drug Thing were a blast. Took me right back in time. And how energetic those were. These guys rock better than ever. Halleluwah was played in Hogwash, but only snippety. Bassline and the guitar melody, no singing. Venue music already started when the boys decided to do that one as another encore. Nice. The new songs are so much more intense than on record. Barleycorn, which I liked a lot already, got much bigger.
No chien, no STG, though. I thought these were guaranteed this time.
i might. give me a holler to wiper(at)gmx.ch
we rent a car (sharing the cost, ca 40sfr) and it's possible that there's one free seat. but the last train from Bern back leaves at 1am, so….
I wonder if the boys add a Slayer song in Jeff Hanneman's honour to their current set, as they did with Dio/Rainbow's A Light In The Black a couple of years ago…
