@GBD: Thanks a lot, our versions were really similar, I'm happy to see that my English is not totally rubbish!
@Rolf: great, your contributions are really brilliant! I've taken 90% of them, and kept 10% of my interpretations. You solved me some puzzles!
About Ghost, all "Behind the Sun" lyrics are in the album's page of the official site. Check it out! http://motorpsycho.no/discography/behind-the-sun/
Best song: Un Chien d'Espace – by far. Thirteen minutes and forty seconds of formal perfection.
Best solo: Flick and 577. Flick is dirtier, so I suppose I prefer that
Best Riff: Kill Some Day, the mellotron bridge.
I tend to agree with grindove, and the band does too: they only dedicate a few shows to entire albums.
But when they played Blissard AS AN ENCORE in a 3 hours show in Milan, well, I was quite happy!
All this speculation, does it mean that the guys have a new drummer? Did I miss anything?
I have wondered what exactly made yesterday concert so brilliant to be one of the two or three best I've seen.
The setlist is amazing, but Milano is used to great setlists (see the entire Blissard as encore in 2013, or the 9 (nine!) encores at the Unicorn tour (including Taifun, The Wheel, Mountain….!).
It's been a thick set, very doomish, psychedelic, with a great selection of oldies (the combo Junior-Feedtime KILLED ME and my throat!) and only a quarter hour dedicated to "easy" rnr (Forget It was quite a backstab after that hell of an intro). So, a less dispersive set than usual.
The fact of playing as a trio is a reason: sorry for Stale or Reine, but after a night like this you realize that additional people don't add anything to the essence. The trio is more free and focused.
But the most relevant change over the past tours is Kenneth's drumming: more dry, more focused, more heavy, less jazzy. He limited his often-confusing solipsistic technics showdown and really resulted the exact drummer MP needs. Listen to the Roadwork version of Kill Devil Hills to get what I mean: too many beats, too much flowering in a kind of music that should be as hard as possible. Apparently he made the grade (maybe helped by the Spidergawd experience), and this has represented the sixth star in the five-star level of the band! After all, when you destroy the world with your drumming speed-up on K9, what else do you have to demonstrate?
TV Eye was mainly during Black to Comm actually, along with Suicide's Rocket USA. The good ol' days…
Juergen, for what I can see, your link sends to the FB page, and I can't find any setlist scan there
Very weird and "improvised" setlist, if you consider that the original list included Hell 1-7 instead of Serpentine + Sail On, and also Come on In wasn't in the setlist.
A dive into 2000 with 3 songs from Trust Us and 3 from LTEC. My highlight was Psychonaut, first time for me since 1998, and I saw a LOT of concerts!
Serpentine is always MEH, they continuously rearrange it without success. The Other Fool was quite a "metal" version, but remains a mediocre pop song. But I was amused anyway to listen to it after so long. And the same I could say for the Other Daemon, Superstooge, Sail On. For a moment, I feared a Slow Phaseout, but luckily they didn't!
About the acoustic set, I'm not so enthusiastic of the acoustic KSD: the best part of the song is the mellotron solo, which is skipped here. Dunno, it doesn't seem so inspired… Come On In was great instead!
@otherdemon: not only the lyrics, that's the "bridge" theme of W&RnR, though it definitely is not the main theme.
@Ercarnar: though the guys have played a lot of times at Bloom, it's not their exclusive place for concerts in Milan area. They've played at Paltrussardi, Binario Zero, Alcatraz, Rolling Stone, maybe Rainbow? And of course Live Club, which, apart from Bloom, is the best place where they can play round here. (Alcatraz is good for sound, but it's managed by fascists, I mean Forza Nuova, so I hope they won't play there anymore).
Can it be that I'm the first to note some Whisky and Rock&Roll in this Hell pt. 7?
Also, quite normal timings for the songs, though I love this long tripedelich MP era, I think it was about time…
