        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! :cheers:

              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 :D

                  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!

                          Thanks for that setlist, ffbernie. Was that you filming in the front?

                          By the way, the namedropping game in The Other Fool continued: tonight we got to chill out with…….Supersister! ( Dutch group from the seventies)

                            thanks @Johnny_Heartfield for these links of weirdness, it almost got me to get out my Amon duul and Henry Cow records, but although these freakfolkies had undeniable creativity, their music nowadays also gives me a bit of a nauseous feeling, I think there's something errr…hysterical about it. Still, that dracula song rules! Got to think of it, I still have the recorder-flute of my prime-school days somewhere, next time me and my bro have a session I should bring it along, so you brought something inspiring to these threads! I used to worship the early work of The Residents for years until I suddenly had had enough, they used to be weird-folky on their early stuff sometimes (but; talking about 'hysterical', it's their middle name!)… 8O :lol:

                              About 100 people at the 'electric'gig and 30 at the acoustic one…MP must be feeling a bit like in their first year this way…? I can't understand, how come there's not yet the dedicated lovecult following we see in other parts of Europe, as the Brits surely have a feel for great and original bands, I mean half of the history of rock came from the UK. so….? Anyway, it must indeed be special and something to envy if you're the informed one Who Knows about MP and enjoy them in an intimate setting like this!Oh well, today 30, next year maybe 300, but although I think it would be great if MP got the recognition they deserve, egoistically I'm still so happy they haven't (yet?) become a stadium band, so if we like we can still stand in the 3rd row from the stage with our heroes a few feet away, still just these guys, human, like us but unlike most of us extraterrestrially talented ofcourse, haha! Thanks to everyone for their concert reports so far, I'll be getting my dose tomorrow (Utrecht) and later some more at a very special MP-venue (Vera Groningen), what bliss! :MPD:

                                @Punj Lizard Ah I see, didn't know this Wishbone Ash album, another one added to my want-list.

                                They play it pretty exact to the original, and I still feel it's very "recent MP" style, but MP is a time travelling telephone boot anyway, … thanks.

                                  Enjoying the latest clips! Can someone tell me where in the song UeberPelgrim the Pelgrim part is from? Is it by MP or what? Sounds like matching the Crucible-songs a lot…

                                  Have been laughing my head off seeing the Bergen Psycho's in the front of the audience totally going far out, the one guy drumming on his friends bald head et all, these 2 are the funniest MP cheerleaders I've yet seen, whoever you are, thanks for your extravagant contribution to these clips :lol:
