Great article, I could not have described it better myself. Polak: "Why do I always return to this place, back to Motorpsycho? Because I feel here. Again and again."
Gurdjieff is new to me, but what you write, JERO, makes so much sense.
I for one have been in that special state of being ever since the last tour, it feels so good to feel again.
At the moment holding two tickets for upcoming MP concerts makes me feel I have everything I need in this world. Except for every Motorpsycho recording ever made, but that I am working on.
Can't wait to share The Experience and the special moments with you all again!
We cannot all fully agree on everything, that is what makes this so much fun!
I am rediscovering true happiness as I recently found my way back to some serious psychonauting, this forum being a huge inspiration. Going to more gigs again and meeting many of you out there is another huge part of it, and the third part of it was unpacking a couple of old boxes of recordings I stacked away 13 years ago. A big mistake it was! (Stacking them away, that is.)
I remember 1998 to be my favorite year, but I am rediscovering 1997 as we speak. First the Oslo '97 AADAP re-issue, then Deventer '97. Now I need to dig deeper!
STG: I still hold the Deventer '97 version over Reutlingen '98, but they are both fantastic in each their way.
Un Chien made a huge leap in development from '97 to '98, but the Deventer '97 version is still up there among the best / most interesting.
If you are collecting the essentials, you need both Deventer '97 and Reutlingen '98.
Great comments! Reutlingen was on 1998/05/22, btw.
This thread also inspired me, and I had just put Reutlingen on when I read this.
STG: I haven't reached that far into the concert yet, but I just listened to the 19 min version from Deventer 1997-05-30, and I imagine that one will be hard to top. I also know they did some great versions during the '98 spring tour. It will be exciting to see if I agree with you.

Cool! My pleasure.
Remember to always check out the knootify YouTube channel by our very own knoot.
A wealth of historic material in the shortest lineage possible.
To say it with Jimmy Carr:
"My girlfriend told me the best way to arouse a man is to nibble away on his earlobes for hours…
…I thought it was nuts!" 8O
This year was so good, that you might just want to download it all.
I didn't see one single show that year…
But the irony is on me.
Thanks for the thumbs up, trikser.
Reading the whole thread again… is there two film recordings in the works? One by Stabil und Grazil, from which these two tasters are from, and one by fans in the audience?
@Punj Lizard – the Motortrades tracker is the place to look. Juergen should be able to hook you up. Write him. I will also help seed more and more in there as I work my way through it.
Punj Lizard: I love that you started out a few months ago, you've already bought most of the vast back catalogue, you've seen a couple of gigs – even traveled for one – and now you're digging into the audience recordings. What a ride you must have!
I myself am on a huge MP re-(dis)covery trip for the time being, filling holes in both the back catalogue and the audience recording collection as well as seeing more concerts again.
I have only heard Wiesbaden from the 2016 tour, and it is mind-blowing. Your timing for this thread is perfect. Having completed the 2017 tour recordings, I was just about to dig into 2016.
Thanks for all the tips so far РI will continue with Oldenburg, and great to know, Tomcat, that K̦ln was a highlight during the first part of the tour.
I attended Hanover, Osnabrück and Berlin in 2016. Were any of them recorded?
Have a look and tell me if you can find 25 you'd rather have been at! :MPD:

A recording from Roncade has now surfaced!
Thanks to the taper (and the band, obviously) I had a great time "in" Roncade last night! Having been there in 2001, I can just close my eyes while listening, and I am back there for a new concert 16 years later. The mind on music is a powerful thing!
The recording might be slightly overpowered in places, but many of the best moments are of the more quiet kind, and they are all in very fine sound. Not much talk, amazingly quiet audience for Italy, and the taper probably also had a very good spot, as the sound is well balanced.
All in all a recording in good to very good sound, mostly for the diehards. Find out here if you are one of them!
Reasons to grab this recording (spoilers ahead!):
1) They open with a ferocious The Tower, an instant Roadwork contender!
2) Heartattack Mac is equally ferocious, with a very beautiful ending. Again a Roadwork contender.
3) PPP is beautiful, more than 9 minutes long. It's clear by now that the band is in huge jamming mood.
4) GtC and Bartok continue the adventurous playing, and conclude the first, great part of this set.
After a detour of three shorter, not jam-based, and rather uneventful songs, we get back on track with a super strong jamming finale:
5) A 12 min Superstooge develops into a spacetrip, omits the coda, and very quietly floats into The Wheel. While technically not a Superwheel, like we know it from RW1, it's still a seamless transition, and a magical moment! The Wheel itself is not the best, it sounds as if they could not really find each other and it also ends after "only" 18 minutes. Papenburg version is still superior.
6) Where they DO find each other though, is during the real highlight of the set: A 20 min Lacuna/Sunrise! Here is the missing link between the 16 min Papenburg version and the 26 min Leipzig version. I'd still prefer Leipzig for RW, but the Roncade version would not have to be split over two LP sides, and it too tells a great story of the development of their jamming style and abilities through the years, as well as the story of how Tomas and Kristoffer contribute and put their mark on the result, and how brilliantly this particular version of the band works out. Jazzy spacetrip and several orbits achieved.
The epic-ness continues with Ship of Fools and Plan #1 to round the main set off, and Golden Core for the encore. Which makes for a rather rare occasion these days: The Wheel and The Golden Core in the same set! The only other time it happened on this tour was in Tilburg.
Roncade is another adventurous jamming night with a lingering epic vibe hiding inside a surprisingly captivating set.
