And now I'm looking forward to the "Angels and Daemons at Play" deluxe edition… What will be it like?
I expect 2 CDs for the complete edition of the album (including Spacesuit, Back to Source and the non-hidden Ohm's Concerto). Then, Starmelt EP. Then, what? I dunno how much unreleased material is available from there, but if there isn't enough material, I wouldn't dislike some Roadwork V stuff from the nineties…
When the Timothy's Monster Deluxe Edition came, I made up my 3LP (and not 2 and 1/2 LP!) version of the Monster. It included the 3 tracks scrapped from the "unreleased" first edition. It would have looked like this:
A
Feel
Trapdoor
Leave It Like That
A Shrug & a Fistful
Very 90's, Very Aware
(17:48)
B
On the Toad Again
Beautiful Sister
Wearing yr Smell
Now It's Time to skate
(16:40)
C
On My Pillow
Kill Some Day
Watersound
(19:27)
D
Innersfree
Giftland
(17:15)
E
The Wheel
Sungravy
(21:34)
F
Grindstone (Extended Version)
The Golden Core
(21:24)
I've tried something similar with the Blissard Deluxe: I hate the 2LP format for a 53 minutes album, I have longer albums in single LPs back from the 70s (i.e.: Atom Heart Mother, Selling England by the Pound etc.). So I'd try to make a proper double Blissard LP using some tracks from "When the World Sleeps". I skipped the tracks from "The Matter with Her" (The Matter with Her, Stalemate, Like Always) for various reasons, first of all, well, I DON'T like them! I also skipped the first Stalemate (lucky us, the best version is on AADAP), When the World Sleeps (a mix of In the Family and Nathan Daniel's Tune from Hawaii, I preferred to keep the original Deathprod's track) and 7th Dream (too much acoustic stuff along with Fools Gold). I also used the Starmelt version of Flick of the Wrist, simply because it's waaay better than this one, but we gotta consider that those track are hardly mixed…
So, that's what I came up with:
A
Sinful, Wind-Borne
Drug Thing
Greener
's Numbness
(20:08)
B
Flick of the Wrist (Starmelt version actually)
Black W'abbit
(22:16)
C
Mad Sun
The Nerve Tattoo (Single edition without the stupid gong!)
True Middle
Sonic Teenage Guinevere
(22:31)
D
Manmower
The Ballad of Patrick and Putrick
Fools Gold
Nathan Daniel's Tune from Hawaii
(21:21)
Uh yes, I remember this story.
This means that I READ it on this forum! So, Supernaut, I'm quite sure that there should be a topic about the concert, or I wouldn't know about this…
A list of encores:
Starhammer – 8
Burn – 7
Gullible's Travail – 5
Go to Cornucopia – 5
Taifun – 5
Hogwash – 4
Mountain – 4
Loneliness – 3
Feel – 3
Nothing to Say – 3
Close yr Eyes – 2
Greener – 1
The Wheel – 1
BombProof – 1
Coalmine Pony – 1
Sign for:
Side A:
Go to Cornucopia
Taifun
Side B:
Starhammer
Burn
Great!
But we old fans all remember Teo's glorious Motorpsychodelic car… Anyone has a picture of that one?
Some very good videos from Bloom and Ravenna have been uploaded by somebody… check them out on youtube! I think there are all the encores from Ravenna, and from Mezzago Taifun, the Wheel, Greener, Into the Gyre, Mutiny…
Side notes: after all the bad words I had for live vocals, the guys have improved a lot! Snah's vocals on Cornucopia were unlistenable before he decided to sing it one octave lower…
About TDDU: five stars exhibition, even though the guys seemed a lot more relaxed during the encores. But they played a great Unicorn. Even Sharks and Mutiny, which I don't like on LP, where majestic. In their shape, the guys would do a great job even playing Hannah Montana.
At Bloom there's nothing like a curfew (I've played there three or four times late after midnight). And as Nibi pointed out, MP have a day off today, which could have influenced the decision to play until 1 a.m. (I think it's the MP "later" show I've ever seen).
Additions: Bloom is celebrating 25th anniversary, thing that Bent mentioned. Other addition: yesterday it was the Italian Liberation Day, other thing that Bent mentioned somehow during the encores. Maybe they wanted to celebrate as well
During all the show (but especially during the encore) Bent was always smiling, in a great mood. More than usual anyway.
Wow, there are faster people than me.
The usual velvet-glove treatment for us italians:
TDDU – 87 minutes
10 minutes break
ENCORES – 50 minutes.
The Wheel was only the first part, so it's a sort of coitus interruptus.
Go to California was just a singing insert on the Cornucopia groove, a sort of joke.
Taifun was HUGE!
I wouldn't say the best concert I've attended (I've attended 28 anyway!), but surely a surprising night, reading the previous setlists!
A side note: around me (I was in 2nd row) I saw more people singing Starhammer than Taifun… am I getting THAT old???
I suppose the guys love the Bloom, where they played a lot of times (at least 5) in the beginning of their career. They haven't played since 1998, when there was some big issues about tickets booking (lots of people couldn't get in, even with the ticket in hand).
Gotta go to sleep now.
Still, I think that going to a MP concert knowing the whole setlist is 55% fun gone. I envoy the Spanish people who will see a REAL MP concert: surprises, impros, blood, sweat.
I lost the last italian tour because I was in tour myself in England and France, so I count 3 years without MP live, since the CotF tour. I'd badly prefer a regular concert than this theatrical thing. This album is NOT Tommy! It's a good album and I'd be happy to hear some songs. The entire whole album is a bad idea for my taste. Am I less fanatic than other people around? Uh… I'm the one who made the poll, and who has a file with ALL the setlists since 1990 so, NO, I'm not. Just, I'm not excited by the idea of MP without surprises…
