@JERO – The Pilgrim is a song by Wishbone Ash.
Well, I don't have an almost-named-after-a-Motorpsycho-song-before-the-song-was-recorded album title (an exceptionally short list, I would imagine
), but Joni Mitchell did actually recorded a song titled For Free in 1970, 31 years before Motorpsycho did their For Free.
@Juergen – I've updated the list and explanation. Could you check it for me, please, and let me know if any further revisions are required.
@Juergen. I had hoped you might have some input. I'm good with the idea of including the UFFA gig and will add those tracks to the list. I had called this 'Spring 2019' in order to treat it as separate to the autumn tour and to separate it from the one-offs or 'odds and ends', so to speak. This might be more useful if, as rumoured, an album is released in August or Septemper, but also if the two 'and friends' gigs have sets designed specifically for those gigs.
I think for now I'll follow your lead and treat is as a 2019 list and then revisit in the summer and autumn.
I was in two minds about Hell 7 as I wasn't sure if it was a substantial extract or just a minor quote within the instrumental section of The Tower. Again, though, I will follow your suggestion and include it.
My intention is to update the list every several shows.
Thanks again for suggestions.
@The Other Anders – like Devotional said: great post. Your knowledge and ability to pry open and reveal various aspects of the MP live history is remarkable.
@mefisto and metallican – I'll edit my post such that it's clear, the setlist was not played as per the photo.
A photo of the set list was posted on Facebook but it appears the band played it in a slightly different order than written:

David Fricke in Rolling Stone
Here are three of the best albums of 2019 so far. Two of them are surprising and heartening resurrections by American bands who deserved better in their first lifetimes but haven’t given up. The third is bold prog-rock violence from Norway by a band with nearly three decades of mayhem in their discography but is still too much of a secret in this country. May the silence end here.
Motorpsycho, The Crucible (Rune Grammofon)
A single disc of only three tracks, one of which swallows the equivalent of an entire album side, the latest album by this long-mutating Norwegian band answers the question no one else has been brave enough to ask so far: What if Metallica, the 1972 Genesis and Crosby, Stills & Nash united to make their combined answer to Yes’ Close to the Edge? Originally forged in Nineties hardcore metal, Motorpsycho have pursued a more exciting and luminous line in heavy progressive rock — streaked with psychedelia, lined with Arctic-California harmonizing — for more than a decade. On The Crucible, Hans Magnus Ryan (voice, keys, guitar), Bent Saether (voice, bass, keys, lyrics) and their latest drummer Tomas Järmyr bind the double-album reach of 2017’s The Tower into a tighter sequence of hymns and blowouts, a focused composition and hard-turn theater of guitar-mountain themes, acid-choir interludes and Mellotron glaze that makes even the 21-minute title track feel an epic in your pocket — taut, full and to the point.
@otherdemon: Cheers. Watching now.
@otherdemon: I had thought that recording session was happening this month – not that it makes any difference. Like you say, it's exciting news. It seems hardly any time at all goes by here without some exciting news.
@cheezpleez – good choice
