If it indeed comes from Bremen 08, then it segued from Kill Devil Hills, according to http://motorpsycho.fix.no/comeonin/oldforums/read.php?4,50390
Wow, seems like london was a jamming night!
loneliness>starhammer>wheel>hogwash>halleluwah>x3>oblivion!
Sounds massive!
Plus of course the new songs, and the beautiful and massive opener year zero, and Diana!
I sure hope someone taped!
Brussels always turns out special, and it was with sadness I left the tour after Heidelberg (the gig before Brussels). Now I finally got the recording, and it turns out the epic setlist of Brussels 2010 contains some of the most mindblowing moments of the tour! Especially the first hour (Un Chien->Timothy’s Monster, Sunship->Arne H) made me listen in awe. Far out, imaginative and adventurous jams. Amazing stuff going on.
After that the momentum drops a bit during PPP, although it is a nice breath of air after the breathtaking first hour of the show. Mountain picks it up again, but is also the last real treat with a very long keyboard part from Snah among other things. Starhammer is rather short compared to other nights, Plan#1 is messy, as is most of Gullible. Then, as Rune said: Vortex is Vortex. To have it played after Gullible is a huge bonus. Gullible usually ment the end of the show on this tour.
Over the years some legendary Motorpsycho cities/venues have established themselves in the way that the shows there always turn out special. And by special I mean spaced out or epic setlists or both. Brussels is such a city, as is Bielefeld, Vienna, Tilburg, Halden, Bremen and Darmstadt. The one thing these cities have in common is that the audiences there are quiet, concentrated, and respectful of the band and their music. Motorpsycho simply need this kind of audience more than most bands do because their receipt of suspense and release cannot work as well in a room filled with noise.
A big thank you to Vortex155 for recording and making it possible for me to enjoy Brussels so much once again, even if I was not there this time!
I simply cannot understand how some people can say that The Wheel is too long. Have you ever taken the time to actually listen to the song?
Journalists are not always supposed to expose their sources.
Hm, what a fantastic combination of bands! Althoug I am usually against support bands at MP shows, I can totally see this combi work. They should jam together in the encores!
Thanks Elisa! Are you the travelling Italian Elisa from 10 years back, or do you live in Aalborg? Any thought on the show? Good/bad? How did people receive MP in Aalborg? How many showed up? Did you talk to the band? Will they ever play Denmark again if what we heard is true (only 50-60 people)? It is really a shame that people do not go to see the band when they visit the cities outside of Copenhagen. I thought it was a brave thing to do, to do Aalborg instead of Copenhagen. I’ll have to ask their Danish agent why they ended up in Aalborg this time…. Band wish? Logistics? Impossible to find a gig in Copenhagen or Ã…rhus? I’ll let you know if I find out.
And there is one person on LastFM who says he attended the gig:

Maybe you can write him and ask, Alex? I’d do it, but I have to create a LastFM account first.
Sorry, no setlist, but at least a little article about the gig including some nice pictures:
Not that it justifies anything, but someone who spoils The Golden Core the way this guy did, is not a fan. I refuse to be put in the same category as him.
I understand, GBD, that this incident has chocked you and others in here, but can you lay your weapons of namecalling, swearing and exclamation marks to the ground now, and stop making this a crusade?
First of all: The jamming and solos in this concert was not noodling, it was rythmic, spontanious, spaced out, and experimental. I have never heard or seen the band experiment so much with their instruments, equipment and sound as in Leipzig June 7th 2010.
Second: There is by now way too much namecalling and swearing, and too many raised fingers in the discussion, and even by people who were not there. Behave yourself, or you will be no better than the man you condemn.
Third: How come being drunk has become an excuse for anything from drinking and driving and killing people to ruining concerts? Why is it that we have to accept that some people drink their brains out and spoil the fun/the quiet moments/the magic for everyone else? Some people used to call me the concert nazi because I asked people to be quiet around me and respect the music, the band and the man standing next to you, who might have travelled half the world and spent his last dime, just to see the show.
I have more or less stopped to tell people to shut up these days, except one incident in Heidelberg, a typical Saturday audience, a guy and a girl in the fifth row talking loudly, bending towards eachother obstructing my view AND sound by screaming into eachothers ears about anything BUT the music. They did this the whole concert. Why did they even bother to show up?
But they were obviously drunk and happy, so I am not allowed to complain. I am the concert nazi.
I notice that people tend to talk more at MP shows today than before. Although most audiences in general were wellbehaved and attentive this tour, we always had to tolerate a certain amount of talking, shouting, misplaced whistling and egotrip yealling a la “smart comment shouted out loud so that everyone can hear how cool I am, and maybe that sexy lady behind me will walk me home and fuck my brains out. Oh, look at her breasts. I think I’ll just add a “UUUUAAAHHAHAHAAAUI” to seal the deal, right here in the most quiet part of Gullible, so that she can hear me, and everyone else too – that is the hole point, don’t you get it? – and it might be my last chance.
Will I spoil the moment for everyone else? I haven’t even concidered it. I am drunk, horny and happy, so I am allowed to be selfish, egocentric and asocial”.
Fourth: Leipzig to me was the best show since Halden 1999. I have told a friend who could not see any shows this tour about my experiences, and I’ll leave it with his comment, as I could not have said it better myself:
“Sounds totally amazing.. It is very very rare that a band that has been around for
20 years, starts to make the coolest music they have ever done. The band is clearly
finding their SPACE now.. Awesome..”
They seem to be confirmed on the festival page:
A city up north in Sweden, not so far from Trondheim.
