Well…they will play guitars, drums, mellotrons, pedals & trickboxes, sing…that's all I'm sure off, they'll probably even play doublenecks, or triplenecks this time around! But…I noticed Tomas had added a glockenspiel to his kit during spring-tour, so if they are not too bored too dead with it themselves, they might as well stun me completely with some Vortex Surfin'!!! It will be great whatever songs they pick, I'm confident. Awaiting the hour, and counting the days! :arrow: :MPD:
Big Thank you to Rene & Menno for putting this downloadable diddely on Vimeo! Apart from the words Hans-Magnus speaks on behalf of the Vera, the concert fragments make a wonderful souvenir of a fantastic night, when Shiva, the Lizard & the Alchemyst all met in MP hyperspace! So looking forward to the fall tour, have tickets for the 3 Dutch shows, and friends and neighbors coming along expecting them to convert to the only band of our lifetime…And Jonathan, hope to see you one of these dates! :MPD:
Wow! Again another high level MP surprise, wish they would bring Lars along for the fall tour, what a fantastisk player :MPD:
Yes, great concert and nice to be able to watch it in full, but one thing here annoys me; the infamous lights-blinding-the-audience-routine, you'd think people of a venue like this would know how to light a stage…even as a video it's so distracting, so I stopped watching and just enjoyed the sound recording. And as for me, I'd seriously consider not going when I'd have to sit down for an MP concert, but I guess there's some that enjoy it quietly and some like me who just can't stop movin'and groovin'to da hardswinging wall of fuzz MP presents! So much documentation of this tour to enjoy! Thanks to everyone who contributed to making it available!
Highlights? More like a warm glowing sun in my life! the 2 gigs in the Netherlands were both great nights to remember, for so many reasons, and I guess I've already mentioned those in previous posts. This time around what made it special was that I enjoyed Tivoli side by side with my brother, who after years me feeding him MP cd's has now totally given in to acknowledging the genius of MP, especially when playing live, and shaking hands with some other addicts I'd up until now only knew from sight, and of course Vera for undergoing the sonic storms standing next to the Lizard of Punj, and having a chat afterwards. So I'd say these were social highlights this time for me.
Musically, the songs from The Crucible worked out sensationally I think, already classics within the vast MP songbook!
And yet, there's always that one magical (personal) moment of a specific MP gig that remains so dear above all (so far); for me that was Maastricht 08-2018. the beautiful summer evening of that festival night, and a concert crowned by the amazing performance of The Wheel (a first for me), the total trance, power, moodiness, unforgettable experience, which I can still relive through Bernies motorpsychedelic clip.
Now, back from Crete and after 2 weeks of abstinence, I'm so happy to find all the reports about the tour, and of course the fantastic Even More Bernie material. Have I already stated elsewhere that this band is still getting better all the time? (including Reine's contributions, which I've come to appreciate very much). :MPD:
Bernie, can't thank you enough! Great quality clips, again. Uberpilgrim best vid sofar i.m.o.,
that magical fools gold, so good to be able to relive that mesmerizing feeling they brought us there, and Dreamhome so jammy with Tomas earning another gold trophy! Thanks, man!
Junipher Greene ? I'll check that out. These references of Bent's provide us with nice links to undiscovered gems! As for the name dropping game during The Other Fool, I had come to believe each time a local legend was mentioned, like he did during the Netherland gigs. Anyway, I love this little twist.
And…great to have an upload, enjoying it right now!
heard on what they were going to "chill out" in The Other Fool ? I've heard something like "Chillout to (a) beautifull …. ".
@Blasshyrkh;
Could it have been Belgium band from the 90's the Beautiful Babies ?
Meanwhile, reading all the exploits with the 'tour box'thingy; with or without poster, coffee stains, coloured vinyl, etc. I can't help but laugh, what a way to go on your 30 birthday as a band. This affair also reminds of the Child of the Future and Fragments controversy : for some but not for all (alas!) This very professional band, still going about their special wannahave stuff like a punkband :lol:
Another night of Motor-psy-sonic delight, well worth driving 2x 230 km for. After the Tivoli gig,I was still so full of impressions, that tonight I sort of let go of expectations, of songs altogether in a way. Just swimming in that sea of sound was so wonderful, I feel now totally addicted to this sensory/acoustic sensation. Getting down to earth; I had a wonderful meet up with the one and only Punj Lizzard, and as I suspected we had good conversation and are the brothers in psychonautica we are. Greetings, friend. Some details of this gig: this time at the name dropping game during The Other Fool Bent mentioned another 70's Dutch (prog?!?)band: Earth & Fire. Check out their early stuff! If this goes on, I may even get to feel proud being Dutch
The silly band introduction at the end I didn't hear to well, apart from "Snah on bass guitar" (with Snah himself pointing "rockstar"-smiling into the audience, the man has a talent for mime!). Bedroom eyes was the only acoustic song played tonight. First time I ever witnessed a drumsolo during an MP gig; I believe during Walking on the water Tomas got the space to show us what he got, and we can only drop our jaws at that! Highlight for me was the Alchemist, I love that piece (especially on roadwork 4) and it's a different trip every time. Well….bedtime now, I guess….for those going, have a great time at Leuven tomorrow!You/we are a happy few!
Neverland; a master popsong, and why not, if someone like Corey Taylor can get away with singing Spongebob, the Netherlands win the %$#*îng Eurovision songcontest with that Duncan guy, why not enjoy and sing along with Neverland? I don't even believe it's tongue in cheek, it's just their happy poptune and I'll always love it, even in the 'barbershop' version they played this night! Same goes for Go to California, which I see as the twin brother/sister of this song. And in a show it brings a welcome contrast to all that heavy stuff, i.m.o.
sure, Punj, just look for the whitebearded guy with glasses & red Indian Shiva shirt trying to fix his earplugs somewhere 3rd row in front of the stage! See you there!
