I agree it's a privilege, but I find several more examples in Dampsaba in both 94, especially 95, and also 96.
Haha! We will have to count one day…
Two nice videos from Loppen up on YouTube. Luckily not Hey Jane.

Upstairs-Downstairs, with audible horn
But I am probably not among "a lot of people" in this regard. I am not there to clap along to familiar stuff. My dream concert would be a combination of classic space-outs done in surprising new ways, surprising space-outs done inside classics, new songs, and unreleased songs. The more it deviates from the records, the better. The more obscure, the better. I wanna be challenged and amazed! Which I am by this tour, even if I only follow it through audience recordings.
I only saw Copenhagen, where we got Plan #1 as encore. I would have preferred HBM. Or Un Chien. I was longing for one last really far out space-out, even after Ship of Fools and Alchemyst concluding the main set. Plan #1, however classic and beautiful in its own right, left me on a bit of a flat note. While I agree that a Starhammer>Mountain kind of thing, or a Kill Devil Hills with a space-out inside could have done the trick, I don't think the availability on record is important, at least not in the way you describe it. I'd rather hear a rare song than something I have heard many times before, unless it is Un Chien. Fool's Gold was cool when they reintroduced it years ago. While also a beautiful song, and even performed as an epic, I think that one too leaves me a bit on a flat note these days, as opposed to for instance HBM.
You beat me to it, Rune. Great that you were there. Of course you were. How did she like it? And did you record?

The Golden Core was the last song on the setlist, but Plan #1 was played instead.
Info taken from setlist picture and comment in the Facebook group "Motorpsycho".
Thanks to Fokke van der Veen for posting.
A very positive review, in Danish:
"The nicest Motorpsychopats"
"One strongly doubt if it is possible for the band to play a bad concert"
"You sense that Motorpsycho live is never a finite or finished result. It is a process, which you as audience only can praise yourself happy to witness"
"Järmyr is more leaned back [than Kapstad], not better or worse, but it alters the fundation"
"Kristoffer Lo's mix of keys, trompet and guitar wrapped the concert in the loveliest freaky frame"
"The concert really should get 5 stars (out of 5), but gets 4 because the concert in 2014 (last time they played in Copenhagen) was a notch better. There I remember especially the quieter passages made a bigger impression than at Loppen. I already look forward to seeing them again. Motorpsycho is highly addictive."
…so back to the kind of setlist we saw in Hamburg/Papenburg… Glad that you guys got two hours and were blown away. Thanks for the reports and pictures!
@Punj Lizard: Let's hope you get Un Chien in Köln!
@pj: I would have loved to tag along. I am going back on the road as soon as possible. Mending my spacesuit, will travel again! Thanks for your comments. Hopefully I'll see you and the rest of the travelling family next tour already!
Yes, it's they way it usually works in London, unless you have draw enough to fill the venue all by yourself. Let's hope you're lucky and only get one support band!
@Punj Lizard: Enjoy your first concert! Looking forward to the setlist.
Will they go back to the "standard" setlist of the tour which we saw smaller variations of until Bremen, or have they already left this first phase and entered the famous (true) middle part of the tour where they usually peak in energy and creativity?
@Be: Yeah, I know. Nothing wrong with Golden Core, I just prefer The Wheel. I was playing around with a playlist of epics just the other day. Seeing tonight's setlist, my dream setlist doesn't seem that unlikely after all. Exchange HBM for Big Black Dog, Golden Core for The Wheel, throw in Sun Ship and Arnie H, and we're pretty close! :idea:
