The shortest setlist in history
What's nervcatcher? The Nerve Tattoo / Ratcatcher? And how would these two totally different things get together?
What's "water"? Walking on the Water? Watersound?
The rest seems clear
Oh yes, I forgot the incident at the Garage, I'm quite sure there's a video on youtube about that, but don't ask me to find it
Not an encouraging episode, but I don't honestly think it can be the reason not to go back to UK. Supernaut has explained very well the real reasons.
Complaining about records distribution makes more sense actually.
1997: Bristol + London
1998: Nottingham + London
1999: Nottingham + London
2000: London + Nottingham
2002: London + Nottingham
Probably more, but here I've got my old version database, so I can only reach 2008…
It's not exact saying that they don't play in UK, though I admit that these are not exactly HUGE tours…
It's more exact saying that all the British dates were quite a failure.
I've played around Europe a bit, and there's no doubt: there are more receptive countries than others, so that after the third failing tour, we asked ourselves "what's the point?" and tour elsewhere…
A Sabbath cover from the band I used to play drums in:

…and some original stuff:
Just for the record.
Uh… I have it as "Dog Parade" actually… It opened Duesseldorf 17-10-2011 and was played between Leslie's Vest and Serpentine the night after in Osnabrueck… anyone with a recording of that?
Love's August is GREAT!!! I really hope it's that cover, so then we also have a Traffic and a Genesis cover
@otherdemon: yeah I also imagine Hell = Whiskey&RNR, as title would be appropriate…
@toter panda: how do you know? Sunday Trane was a great moment during that tour, would be interesting to have it in a less jazzy version.
Ok, where are Whisky & Rock & Roll and Leslie's Vest then? Are they under some other title? Is HELL a 20 minutes suite a la Gullible? Let's start speculating!
There is some obscure song called "Afterglow" in some obscure concert setlist of many years ago… lemme see…
Yep, Kulturmolla, Sandnes, 10-mar-1997. Opening song. Any clue?
Ehm yes, quite everybody know this yet, see the thread:
"i talked 2 god&he told me-to tell u the following news:new album&tour spring2013"
And, about this sound issue, I think I should open a discussion about Kenneth: something like "great drumming, great confusion?". Sometimes I think that his drumming (which gives me goosebumps everytime, as long as I'm a drummer!) is sometimes too "ethereal" for the Motorpsycho standards, where "ethereal" means too many accent changes, too few dynamic changes, and even if Bent has a lot of fun and plays the same game (my god how much has his technical level IMPROVED in the last years???), they seem to be on some technical-geeks planet in many situations… Am I the only one to see this?
"@BronYAUr: great username. Just pulled out my vinyl of LZIII this morning. If only the new album sounded even a bit like that one we'd be in for a real treat! "
Heh, "suond" is exactly my main problem with nowadays MP: too much stuff, too much confusion in many situations (see the unreadable instrumental part of KDH on Roadwork IV, or the maelstrom at the end of "Hollow Lands" guitar solo or again some passages from Mutiny), though the sound pretends to be very "clean", in the Pinkfloydian sense of the term!
I'd love much more a LZ3 sound of course… and about the nickname, it's actually the name of my former band, of course inspired by the LZ song (and by the fact that at the time two members of the band were back from a trip to Bron-Y-Aur, Wales!
@Be: of course the guys won't play the Unicorn, they'll probably shuffle in their setlists songs like Hollow Lands, Through the Veil and possibly Mutiny (Into the Gyre maybe). You've probably been shocked by the live transposition of side 3 of the album, I don't think there's any risk they'll play it again in their whole career.
I think the Unicorn is the best MP thing since Trust Us, but nonetheless I don't think I could stand another TDDU concert in its entirety. I've seen only one and I've been very lucky with the encores (Bloom, Mezzago). But TDDU is not The Wall…
"The leftover tracks that we've seen in setlists over the last couple of tours seem to confirm this, imo. "
I don't remember exactly, but I think that there are at least 2 or 3 10-minutes songs in the 2012 setlists (W&R&R, On a Plate and another one I found once on soundcloud…)
Nonetheless, a 1-disc album would grant interesting setlists…
