Well, "jedem seinen Geschmack", in Cologne there were many parts when I wasn't touched by the music (as it also happens to be with the album). But then it appeared that by seing a second show the whole thing makes much more "sense". The comfortable Schlachthof situation combined with herbs in advance and perfect spot had their influence as well I assume. Plus a band being on fire of course. Coming in too late always sucks. And if you hate the Unicorn even a proper presentation like yesterdays will not make you a believer I guess…
@space: see cologne thread
Hi Spacebandit! Too sad you could not make it to Bremen
At least you had one show, and they don't vary their sets that much actually this tour anyway I was looking for a guy in a Grateful Dead Shirt ->Dimeadozen< to say hello. Great that you taped Cologne – you delivered the cream with your recordings last autumn! (Pssst: I can say that we'll have at least one full and quite listenable documentation of last nights show as well, bass heavy for sure What a band!
Schlachthof Bremen always gives us the best mp shows – splendid sound and view from any position plus a friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere – the concert yesterday was a perfect presentation of the unicorn from the first to the last note. It might not become better, only different for this tour. Another dimension compared to cologne. The encores were majestic. I am smiling from ear to ear of motorhappiness since 8 pm last night
Cologne
TDDU
Starhammer (great fourpiece version!)
Close Your Eyes (deep, heavy & majestic)
…third encore was in the air but hopefully spared for Bremen
Just curious: was it the first time you left before the end of a mp show, or the first time you stood til the end?
A few hundred people in London is great I think since mp do not have a label or tour support in the UK.
Otherwise society should have talkers and brutes be thrown out or at least officially complimented to the back. I prefer people being high than drunk – alcohol makes people chatty and rude!
"Kleine Zaal" sounds interesting, seems max 400ppl incl. balcony do fit in there – never been in there… Pre excitement is starting here
It's a project. It's not motorpsycho as we know it. It's a nut to crack. It's strange to have an album where quite a few episodes do not work for oneself. It's strange and less exciting to think of the upcoming live shows since the sets are 96% known in advance.
And: It's going to be the album before another "more common" motorpsycho album and tour
My highlights of the unicorn are Hollow Lands/Veil, La Lethe and Into the Mystic (!) btw.
Hope you'll be postively surprised in April Rune.
Great find! mp cut down to straight TV-format, hehe
But is the audience really not allowed to move their heads at NRK?!
Two shows on one day will be a lot to assimilate, but flying in to Oslo for the opera it would be a sacrilege not to go in the afternoon as well. Since there are so many artists involved it might simply be an logistical reason that they do two shows on Sunday – everyone is available.
I have the feeling we should not expect too many encores, at least there are only 3 hours between both shows and you have to empty the place inbetween as well (though I am sure more than 80% will be double-visitors.) One great extra tune would do, the available instruments could bring up some mp-nuggets :MPD:
Received two separate tickets (500 nok each) btw., just like with the first order.
