Robert Fripp has the metaphor of the Crimson King being with the band at very special moments/shows … I have the feeling the "Psycho King" was present all night at Forum last night. Pure bliss.
Grazie Francesco for clearing that up, could be that this was a Soft Machine-piece before NOX (Hugh Hopper was the bass player in the late 60's – or it was a very fuzzed bass-phase
. One of my favourite setlists of this tour! Top 5 so far chronological:
Copenhagen
Cologne
Amsterdam
Vienna
München
Hoping for Bielefeld or Arlon to sneak in
And still new additions – good to see Manmower back, Pilgrim with 2022-Reine must be pure pleasure!
And DIANA is indeed THE surprise of the tour I guess… that drummer … that BAND!!
The show was well attendet and started on time and lasted nearly 2 hours. The audience mostly stayed until the end, at least more than at the Desertfests. Great choice of songs, Magpie is indeed surprisingly strong; glad I also got Dreamhome, Cornucopia and The Wheel. The Sound was very good from the balcony and as well downstairs. If I was in the band I'd take out the acoustic guitars tonight at Vera … have fun everybody, those hesitating: they are on top level with Reine fully present and he is important for the whole performance as never before. Any gig is worth going (of course;)
Bremen was so much about "homecoming" and meeting all those psychonauts again after quite some time, summerish weather giving the right frame to walk, sit and travel.
Even more important though is indeed the great sound and view at Schlachthof. What a wonderful place to enjoy a concert! What a luxury to decide spontanously whom to watch playing/soloing and being able to see and hear the whole thing full frame.
I enjoyed both Reine and Tomas very much last night from my spot on the lower stairs. Drumming and interplay on "Whole Lotta Diana" f.e. was INSANE.
And what to say about those encores … holy!
Very happy about the guitar-heaven in Hannover and lots of HBM + "Lady May"; glad to have witnessed "Empires End" last night plus a heartwrenching encore – looking forward to more new tracks in Cologne tonight. Two "lovetowns" after another :STG:
*Update* One complaint: it was really unpleasant to be thrown out more or less directly after the concert, not being able to have one last drink (also non-alcoholic) and the bar upstairs being under-staffed. And some member of the crew is not taper friendly
But what problems are these to have!
