Really sweet set. Brussels delivers, as always. Thomas reported that "All is Loneliness" segued straight into "Arne H"! Really glad to welcome "My Best Friend" back
Wow, looks excellent! "Ghost", "Tof", "Triggerman" and of course "Un chien" make this special. Too bad they didn't play the second encore. Could have been one of those rare 3h shows

What I wrote to a friend earlier today, copied and pasted here:
Exquisite, mindblowing, perfect, best-in-years Motorpsycho show at Postbanhhof yesterday! As good as they always were, they have actually gotten better. Concise, tight, not losing themself in long jams while still delivering the goods (and there were good songs AND really insane jams). Not one wasted note in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Almost rehearsed space-sections because they were JUST PERFECT. Very varied, tension-and-release concept perfected, build-ups more extreme then ever. A better sound than before, better seperation between Reine and the others. A modernized, more AWARE, highly alert, better and NEW LEVEL Motorpsycho.
Postbahnhof was not sold out, people were very quiet and attentive (Berlin the new Bremen?!). Bent communicated with the crowd more then ever before. The acoustic set was heavenly, perfect singing and wonderful instrumentation. Even "Big Surprise" was a highlight. Could have gone on forever. But it didn't. When they switched to electric guitars and unleashed the noise it makes for such an overwhelming effect, like a bomb "Hell Pt. 1" hit us. I was floored. After the acoustic set they choose to give us "Hell 1-7", all 30 minutes of it. Ridiculous and sick!!! Lots of keyboards all throughout the show. Tasty and juicy and spacy! 21st century King Crimson! So many special moments! The new songs were great and they were played all in a row, which was very cool too.
We got the first "K9" of the tour and oh my, what a version it was!!! A very elaborate and delicate space based on jamming with the keys, all quiet and Krimson-ish before they entered the most extreme "The faster we go" I have ever heard. In the end of was sheer teechnical brilliance, almost tech metal, with a freewheeling Kenneth who was let off the leash. It was so nasty, loud, extreme, I thought I could not stand it any second longer. Just EXTREME!!! 25 minutes. The setlist left nothing to desire, the encore brought only more "jams": "Up/down" / "Superstooge" / "Kvaestor" / "Starhammer" —> BANG!!!!!
I really got my money's worth. Some of the singing later in the show got out of tune but all in all this was a technically improved Motorpsycho and what they did made sense all around. A raised consciousness about what they do and how they present their show. Like they have stepped up. I am grateful for this one show, would not like to have missed. A highlight from first to last second. Amazing. NEW LEVEL!
Btw, this is a good place to hang out / meet / spend time before the show at Postbahnhof tomorrow in Berlin. There is an open air Biergarten, good beers, barbeque, good prices, friendly and alternativ. It's 1.2 km from the venue which is an easy 15 min walk. Who is up for a pre-show beer?

Edit: Sold.
In defence of Kadavar: Krach am Bach was probably one of the worst shows they ever played, it was certainly the worst one I personally have seen them play (out of 21 concerts I attended). It really sucked indeed. It just wasn't their day. They can do so much better than that
I think folks in Heidelberg will have their mind blown…
Support by Kadavar in Bielefeld 22.05. canceled because Kadavar will play Mexico City on 22.05. (supporting Wolfmother). Too bad, I wanted to see this combination and pondered going to Bielefeld. But then again, more play time for MP, yay!
Re Berlin ticket company "Hekticket": It's a trusted and realiable box office, very notorious down here. I have no experience with e-sales through their website though. You can also try Koka36.de for a good local box office (they process international orders). You will probably also find the tickets on Eventim, Tickets.de or Ticketmaster.
