@ Mark: you saw Motorpsycho on May 8th 1999, see here:
https://mpdb.no/gig/1999/05/08/brussels-botanique/
There are even some links of video clips of the show available.
But now back to topic. This is – at the moment – a “safe” tour with countries/dates Motorpsycho can be sure to attract a remarkable crowd. No Eastern Europe, no UK, even no Spain or south eastern Europe (Greece, Croatia, Servia, Slovenia). Even a date in Finland and Denmark is missing at the moment.
Yesterday was a “hard rocking” show, not much space/psych parts. Unfortunately no Kobaia/The Otherness/The Hornet which were played in Aschaffenburg…
About the new line-up: All four members are placed in one line, even the drum kit is in front of the stage and not in the back. Snah and Reine switched places. Snah and Bent are on the same side. Stian has eye contact with Snah and Bent all the time and he enjoys playing with Bent/Snah/Reine very much. He was constantly smiling for 2,5 hours. He identifies with the music!
Reine is responsible for guitar solos and Snah played (mostly) rhythm guitar. As far as I remember this is new, too. Of course, Snah is playing a solo when Reine plays keyboards.
Conne Island is always a great venue for Motorpsycho! There were 500 tickets sold in advance but tickets were still available on the door. The venue was full but not overcrowded, a nice atmosphere after a hiatus of seven years in this venue (the last show on October 16th 2019).
An audio recording was uploaded on dime. For those who are not subscribed on dime: write me an email

It is okay to upload on archive.org but I have too many things to do – so please someone else has to do it!
The longer version which you can find the link in Martn’s posting does not have a download button/function but it has already been ripped – for those who want it:

I don’t think that the gig will contain a regular set. It is scheduled for the afternoon (3pm to 5:30pm). Maybe it will be a part of an exhibition or festival (not necessarily a music festival).
There will be another single show in Aalborg February 2026, so why not?
Aalborg Norhern Winter Festival February 5th 2026
And the first festival date for summer 2026:
Åndalnes “Trollkauk”-Festival July 9th 2026
Great to get another previously uncirculated recording.
But: This is not from May 11th 1999 (Motorpsycho played on that date at that venue, too!) but from June 5th 1998. The 1998 setlist matches exactly:
S.T.G.
Hey, Jane
Heartattack Mac
Feel
Un Chien D’Espace
Superstooge/The Wheel
The Other Other Fool
You Lied
Black To Comm
——-
Hogwash
Vortex SurferThe show from May 11th 1999 had a different setlist:
Un Chien D’Espace
The Other Other Fool
Heartbreaker
Step Inside
Hey, Jane
S.T.G.
Young Man Blues
All Is Loneliness
Superstooge
The Wheel
California Dreamin’
High Time
You Lied
Hogwash
Black To Comm
Summertime Blues
Vortex SurferThank you Francesco! It is really great to get first hand information of a dedicated fan like you.
Stalemate was played in 1994 twice (acoustic versions) and about 7 times in 2001. The performance yesterday was the first one since Bielefeld 2001-10-12.
There is no recording known. Rumours say that the show was officially filmed. I can’t remember a confirmation or a denial of this rumour.
