A 15 minute excerpt from the gig:
Soundcheck snippet/interview here
Just got back from the gig. More or less the same as in Nidarosdomen; the only real differences were in the improvs. Opening improv was less melodic than the one in Trondheim. Kenneth's drumsolo was good, but still just a drumsolo. Ståle's improv was bordering Supersilent at times. But some of the sounds he pumped out of that organ, will never be played there again :lol: It became more melodic near the end, though.
The songs, however, were imho played a bit tighter than in Trondheim (judging from the Nidaros-bootleg). Same musical themes explored. Highlight of the gig was the second musical theme. I could listen to that B minor Snah guitar theme all day long!
Great gig!
Doesn't seem like anyone recorded it in full. But here's a couple of Youtube-snippets:
According to this page, the new album will be out January 2012.
Yeah, this performance was really something special. Also looking forward to Oslo…
Interesting to hear the new musical themes that'll be on the new album. Esspecially the theme that starts at approx 33:30 and lasts for about 10 mins. Holy shit, that stuff is just breathtakingly beautiful!
Edelman: If you make a little bit of editing, like removing the last 3 mins of applause + the first 30 secs which is basically silence, then it should just about fit a 80 minute CD.
The press release in its entirety:
Fra pressemeldingen: Mandag 28. november vil man kunne oppleve en av høstens mest unike konsertopplevelser, i selveste Oslo Domkirke. Da skal Motorpsycho spille et spesialskrevet verk for kirkeorgel. Verket som inneholder mye spesialskrevet musikk, men vil inneholde fragmenter og tema fra tidligere plater, men også musikk fra dere kommende nye album, som kommer i januar 2012.
Anledningen er at Motorpsycho tar storeslem på Morgenbladets Topp 100-liste, med hele 5 album inne på lista. Ingen andre artister oppnår tilsvarende. Lista er en liste over de 100 beste norske utgivelser, noensinne. Stemt frem av artist-Norge selv. Onsdag 2. november hadde verket “generalprøve†i Nidarosdomen, med helt ekstatiske kritikker fra konserten (http://www.adressa.no/kultur/article1720977.ece). Det vil være en delvis omarrangert konsert som Motorpsycho fremfører i Oslo Domkirke.
De 600 som er så heldige og klarer å skaffe seg billett til denne sjeldne seansen, vil med andre ord overvære en helt unik konsert, med ett av Norges største og viktigste band, noensinne.
I love how they call the Nidarosdomen concert a "generalprøve". It will also be partially re-arranged for Oslo.
Only 600 tickets available, one of them belongs to me
With the tracklist (Psychonaut/Go To California/Whole Lotta Diana/Come On In/Sheer Heart Attack), it's hardly likely that it sucks :lol:
I've only heard Sheer Heart Attack (from a bootleg), and that one falls under the category "lotsa fun". Esspecially if they included the funny spoken intro by Bent.
The remaining 4 tracks I haven't heard.
