Year Zero – Düsseldorf (not my video)
@Devotional Thanks. It's been a pretty blessed journey so far, but what blows my mind is the band have been doing this for so many years already and now I've been lucky enough that I got nudged into their sphere.
I was fortunate enough to hear both The Wheel and Plan #1 in London last year, my first MP gig. I had only heard each of them maybe only a couple of times before the gig. Seeing them play The Wheel again yesterday was mind-blowing. And something one of my UK friends said was really true, it's good to see them where the appreciation is so strong. It's very lacklustre in the UK. At both Köln and Düsseldorf I could clearly see the band getting off on the energy. My plan #1 is to get back to see them in Germany hopefully next year. But before that… Drammen!
Yeah. It was mind-blowing. My friend's from the UK who first got me into MP both said it was their best MP gig. My first time seeing them play Year Zero nearly had me in tears. A pair of lovers in front of me (You know who you are) were obviously also connecting big time through that song Рyou two touched my heart. Highlights for me were Y0, Starhammer, Sonata, a massive Wheel, and Fools Gold. For me last night was all about heart. I wanted to hug everyone in the room and got the chance to hug a few lovely psychonauts who I'd met last year in K̦ln or at Alkmaar this year as well as some new ones last night. Big shout out to boomer, wulf, nika, tomcat, the other anders, (just in time) ingo, and alli. Hope to see you all down the road. :STG: <3 <3
Yeah it's really fucking hot in Düsseldorf.
Another vote for A Pacific Sonata here. I saw them play it in Alkmaar and it was my favourite of the night. But my friends from UK who are with me have not seen them play it and I know one of them loves it. Fingers crossed.
I've been listening to a bit of Love Machine. The music's a bit dated but it's got a great US West Coast pysch vibe à la Jefferson Airplane et al. I'm looking forward to seeing how they sound on stage. Having said that I'd rather have three hours of MP
@boomer – I'll see you there. I should be with two other blokes. At least one of us will be wearing a Motorpsycho T-shirt (I would guess)
I'm about 1.85m, wear thick-rim glasses and have a light beard. Hopefully you should be able to spot us!
@ Tomcat – thanks for the timings and meeting place suggestions. Das Uerige am Markt looks good to me. I'll check with my travel companions, but I'd be happy to meet up there with whoever makes it.
Does anybody have any suggestions for somewhere to meet up before the gig? I'll be landing in Düsseldorf about 10.30am. A couple of friends from the UK will be arriving about 15.00.
