Quote:That means 10 new songs yesterday for me! Which band can compete with that?
Loads of bands can do it and are doing it, including my other favourite band Phish, a rock band from Vermont (US), founded in / active since 1983. I saw three consecutive shows in Chicago this summer and they performed 57 songs (9 hours of music) without repeating one song. Later in the summer they performed a run of of 13 consecutive shows in NYC without repeating a single track during the course of the run (237 individual songs performed).
In a European context however, Motorpsycho are certainly an excpetional phenomenon.
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).
A very good show! Not flawless but very impressive anyway. Lots of new material, much to absorb. A magic beginning set the tone for a concert that found band and audience wired into one another. Highlights: "Stained Glass" with tuba solo, "In Every Dream Home", "H Mac", "Lacuna Sunrise". 20 minutes of the "The Wheel" were a very nice surprise and quite a blast even if the vocals fell a bit flat. Ultimately the audience forced the band back on stage for a true encore, this one was really an extra. There's great potential for the band to grow and go places together during the the course of the tour.
How does the number of songs played compare to earlier tours? Is there a statistic tool/measure to evaluate the setlist variation?
This surely came as a surpise. Very sad! Impossible to imagine they can find a better drummer than Kenneth. However, despite relentless creative output the last years, I do feel that MP are trapped in an artistic dead end street somehow. They became more redundant in their ideas than in the 90s/00s. So maybe this situation could open up for new artistic paths. And I like the idea of a Geb and Snah acoustic album/tour
About time they mix it up like that! Finally getting serious with them setlists. Leuven and Wiesbaden are my favourites of the tour so far.
The official FB claims this was a 4 hours set. Looks more like 2,5h unless they gave "Arne H", "Stooge" and "Hell" some extreme treatments.
A rare non-CPH Danish show announced for 14.05.!
