Amazing setlist but not IMHO a great performance and affected greatly by it being way too loud.
EDIT: Based on others' comments I have to conclude that my initial assessment of the performance was probably unfair and that it was simply the volume that affected my appreciation of it.
Sitting in the lobby at the hotel right now, right next door to the venue. We popped in a while ago and heard Tomas doing a sound check, but no sightings of the band yet.
@ Spacebandit – Ha ha. I guess the only reason I'm "ungedulig" is because it would be the first time I see MP play a song that isn't released yet! But to be honest, I'm just happy to be there. Every one of my five MP shows has been special in some way, so I know that no matter what they play, it's going to be another fantastic and special show. Without even realising, I waited decades to find out about and see MP. I think I can wait another few months to hear new material
I'm a little disappointed not to see any new material in the set as I had hoped that with the inclusion of Horntveth they might play one or two. But I'm keeping fingers crossed for one or both of Lacuna/Sunrise and STG on Saturday as they're two tracks I love but have yet to see performed. I'd also be happy to see Cuckoo and Bartok replaced. Go To California with Lars's flute would be sweet.
Bob Le Bad, on the latest and upcoming gigs:
"[W]e have played quite a few festivals and gigs over the summer and have generally kept busy. It’s been a great summer for us, and we thank you all for coming out when we did – it really matters to us!
These last few days we’ve spent rehearsing with Lars Horntveth and getting both him and the boys into shape for the gigs around Norway this week. Lars is an old friend that found time to help out when Reine and Kristoffer were busy, and he will hopefully bring something different and cool to the proceedings! We’ve never had this floating pool system of 4th guys before, but it is really neat for us and each of them brings something of their own to the songs, something that keeps them fresh and fun to play. We could never keep a steady 4th member anyway, so this is probably a better sollution all in all!"
From Bob Le Bad, on the new album:
"We are currently in the process of mixing the next album,due early next year. Andrew Scheps is working his magic on the material we recorded with him and Deathprod in Wales in August, and we are absolutly positive it’s going to be a great addition to the cannon! We’ll give you the down and dirty as soon as we’ve settled a few things, so hang in there!"
@tkm – Thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully some new material will be played. Can't wait for Drammen.
@cjacob – Yes I still have the ticket. We can meet before the gig. Email me at jyotipunj (at) hotmail dot com
@Tomcat – Nice little interview. Thanks for posting. A new album already on the way, another tour, maybe two – I've never felt so spoiled by a band.
