Like everyone, I expect, I had a number of highlights.
Across the gigs I saw, I'd have to say Triggerman and A Pacific Sonata were the main highlghts. But out of the specific performances I'd say Year Zero, Triggerman, Master Builder and A Pacific Sonata in London, Hogwash in Groningen (as it was my first), and Lacuna/Sunrise and Fool's Gold in Leuven. Whether these were onjectively better than any other tracks or versions, I don't know, but these were the ones that really hit me emotionally and sonically, transporting me onto a higher plane.
Other highlights included the whole London acoustic show, meeting Jero in Groningen, and Tomcat, Thomas, Alli and Ingo in Leuven. And finally getting through a whole MP concert with earplugs in and it proving to be a very positive experience!
Disappointments, if I dare, were (1) 577 being played at a number of gigs either side of the ones I attended, but not when I was present
(2) not meeting Nicoot for my own foolish fault of just losing track and not making a fixed plan before the gig :roll: and (3) being not The Other Fool, but just another fool :oops: when I tried to speak to Bent and Snah, who were both extremely gracious and friendly.
Now that the spring tour is over, I figured we could do with an update on the current listings for the rest of the year. This is just copied from the previous page, but updated for the Spanish dates.

When ASFE was played in London 2017 as the opener it was brilliant! OK, that was my first Motorpsycho gig, and ASFE was therefore the first track I saw them perform, so it was a very exciting and a special moment for me – but I agree with supernaut that it was a brilliant opener and I'm glad to hear they've given it new life.
@BronYAur – My bad
I'll watch the link later.
@Tomcat – Truth.
@doomdragon – They did not play either of those songs on this tour. I think you'll find BronYAur was just having a bit of fun.
Quote:and there at the end of "Spin" we see 577 flying away
@Tomcat – That's painful to watch a second time, knowing now what that little confab was all about.
@ doomdragon – According to reports of attendees at Wiesbaden, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) was played during Hogwash.
