@Ercarnar I agree, Magnolia was great, surely in my top 5, along with Fillmore 2000, Velvet 2002 and some else.
Note the cute imbecille at 6:16
The last one should be Hey Jane and not Hyena, a trustfully friend of mine said.
From my point of view, the setlist is very weak, but 15 minutes of a solo Gebhardt would have been worth the worst of the MP concerts!
Highlights of the show:
Mountain double solo (kris ad Snah), and also the very final part, which was usually skipped live.
Heartattack Mac (also because it was my first one in thirtythree concerts!)
Superstooge central jam, very "Roadworkish"
The Tower – wow, powerful live beast!
The Golden Core
Weakest moments:
A.S.F.E. – very weak version compared to the other "Tower" songs
Pathetic Sonata – a good sleep
In Our Tree – are you serious!
Setlist correct, but then they came out again for Golden Core. Which was apparently out of setlist. Well, great gift then!
Just wanted to add that all my 33 shows where in Italy except one at Rotefabrik in Zurich (we went there because the guys wouldn't have toured Italy that time, they went to Spain for the first time instead)!
14 shows where in my city, Milan and provence. BLOOM near Milan, has always been a place which guaranteed great shows. Saw them 4 times there.
The last time, they played Blissard as an encore.
The time before, the played one hour of encores after the Death Defying Unicorn. The longest encore of all the tour: 9 songs, including Taifun and the Wheel…
But my favourite place for Italian MP concerts was VELVET in Rimini. Saw them there 6 times, it's the venue where I saw them more often, even though the place is 3 hours from my hometown. The first time was where I first met the band, along the fishing lake behind the venue at the end of august 2000. It was Baard's birthday and the band made him an afghan gift, and, ehm, we joined the present… That's where Geb and I started having long chats before and after the concerts. And where Bent and I watched a Italy Cup match (it was Atalanta-AC Milan), with Bent telling ME the names of Atalanta players…
Also wanna say that Velvet doesn't exist anymore, and I sort of miss it, even if now they play their "emilian" concert a bit closer to my home…
MP concerts were a lot of fun, and they were much funnier when the Geb was on the road.
And when I was younger, I suppose!
"It's great reading the responses above (34, 35, 100+)"
Great? Nah, that simply means that we're OLD!
Next friday and sunday will be nr. 34 and 35.
21 with Gebhardt (16 of which with Baard).
2 with Jakko and the other one
9 with Kenneth (1 with Stale, 2 with Reine)
1 with Tomas.
"The Blissard tour was a highlight, I still remember the very magic night of Yule show in Trondheim when they played Blissard 1 -> 6 for a really surprised audience."
In Milan, the encore was the ENTIRE Blissard album…
"It is my subjective impression though that MP's setlist variation has decreased the last two tours, with the last tour's repertoire having it's fairly fixed sequence and this tour having two new members on board. I don't have numbers to back that up though (i.e. # of individual songs performed per tour). "
I DO have the numbers and I can confirm that
They have a more massive "body" of fixed songs played every night than in the past.
I think that the best tours from the point of view of the night-to-night variety of the setlist have been the tours with Baard (2000-2003). But also the Still Life/Blissard tour was awesome. Probably the best tour of the Kenneth-era
I see… Gaenger = walker should have enlightened me… but I spent all the time thinking that Wolk = people…
