@Vortex155, any progress with the sharing of the recording?
Hope you don't mind me asking…
Let us know if you encounter any difficulties, or have no time.
Others here will gladly help.
@mikke: Lucky you and everyone who got to see the first and the last concert of the tour, so to say. But Un Chien concluded the first set at Konserthuset in Oslo, it didn't open it.
The three concerts they opened with Un Chien on this tour were Bremen, Brussels and Cologne.
One taper was thrown out for taping.
Anyone else with better luck?
If not, I seriously suggest that the band releases this concert officially and complete, provided that they themselves recorded it. Why else throw a taper out?
I am also aware that the band probably didn't have anything to do with it, it's probably just an over-eager security person.
Someone who was there who can elaborate?
Anyway, it's time for some serious Roadworkness, right about now!!
Juergen: No I flew back to Oslo after Amsterdam, and caught the 2x Oslo + 2x Trondheim tour final.
fillmore: Yes! More Belgium! More everything, please!
No, I have not yet seen them in Sweden, your list seems to be accurate, mefisto.
Akane is active on FB, but I haven't seen her here in a long time. When was the last time we saw her in Europe?
It's a long time since we saw some of the old travelers, like Lighthouse Girl and Nils, too. They surely must have impressive lists as well.
Spectacular! Among the finest recordings of this tour. 170 min, 14 songs.
Unique for its 26 seriously jammed out and trippy minutes of Lacuna/Sunrise. Outer orbit achieved. Roadwork material yet again in Leipzig.
Other jamming highlights include Intrepid Explorer, a beautiful Sonata, a majestic 15 min Mountain, a very far out Superstooge, all too deserving of RW release.
Taifun in it's new arrangement is kind of twice as big as before. An amazing version of an already long overdue RW song.
The Tower is the last great jam of the set. I still believe they did Bartok better in Berlin.
Looking forward to that one!
Leipzig, another jammed out night!
@Flippern: Got anything but memory to back that up? You mentioned you got a setlist in the original thread… Current audience recording and concert reports do not include In The Family.
Great, great stuff, Jürgen and BronYaur!
A few correction off the top of my head:
Heaven & Hell, Bielefeld soundcheck was on 12.10.2001.
Home of the Brave was played as an encore on the third Rockheim Demon Box concert 19.10.2015.
Leslie’s Vest was the early version of On A Plate.
So What was played as a snippet inside Walking With J. on the 2000 tour.
The Trane is most probably Dora Peach, it was named The Sunday Trane for a Sunday show on 2001, and had a new name each night.
We Travel The Spaceways was also played as a snippet inside Un Chien in Halden 28.03.2000.
Great! For the non-German speaking, it's comedian and writer Oliver Polak, who has been a fan of the band since 93. He talks about Motorpsycho and how you need to see them live. Good promotion on Berlin's biggest local radio channel Radio Eins from a dedicated guy many of us know from the road.
At least three recordings have surfaced so far. Thanks to all the tapers, it's very appreciated!
I am listening to the matrix off dime as I type.
I would say much more than the first half is interesting.
Every song from August to Ship of Fools is heavy on jamming and far out stuff, except A.S.F.E., but it grooves along and works very well. Dream Home, Internet Explorer, Cornucopia, Pacific Sonata, even Cuckoo, and especially IMS, as well as Ship all reach new or different highs. Mountain is a bit shaky, but great that they play it in its full again, and that the original piano sound on the "The Entertainer/Pink Panther theme" references is back, curtesy of Kristoffer, I suppose.
In Our Tree makes for a shift of mood. From here on the rest of the main set effectively works as the first batch of encores.
In Our Tree is delivered very close to the album version, even the sound of the record is recreated on stage. I think they do this to a greater extent on this tour compared to many previous tours. Go To California back to record version. Upstairs-downstairs now finally with that one horn only – and it sounds better than ever before. The Wheel is restored to old glory, as is The Golden Core. Mountain sounds like Mountain again, while reports of a fully restored Taifun are ticking in. The catalysts here are of course Tomas and Kristoffer. The former opens up the landscape, and the latter fills it in together with the other two. It takes me back to the different records and periods of time again. I'd wish they broke out a restored 'Let Them Eat Cake' encore one day soon, opening with The Other Fool played on acoustic, amplified guitars like back in 2000.
You Lied is short, again as on record, while Spin Spin Spin stretches out in a 9 min jam that substitutes Lacuna/Sunrise, only upbeat.
Again an amazing, majestic The Tower with another beautiful, wild and far out middle part – one last round in orbit – before Feel takes us down and we have almost landed one more time…
Solid concert!
