Hey, let's move the Trondheim I discussion to a new individual thread!
So was the "Unicorn" performed in order in its entirety, i.e. incl. all the interludes and stuff? Is it even possible to tell? And how long was the "Unicorn" part altogether?
How do we handle the setlist reporting for this tour? Do we just indicate that the "Unicorn"-suite was played or do we decipher the actual songs? Obviously one needs to be familiar with the album in great detail to tell…

Fifteen years ago on this day in 1997 Motorpsycho performed a concert at Rockefeller in Oslo (NOR). This concert which occurred halfway into the Norwegian leg of the "Angels and Daemons"-tour was broadcast on NRK, the Norwegian public radio. Very soon a recording of the radio broadcast became the most widely distributed and most widely spread unofficial live recording by the band. And rightly so because the performance that had been captured by NRK can be considered classic in every way. Beginning with a brilliant take on "S.T.G." feat. Deathprod on noise-gadgets (who also played a support set to open the evening) the concert also featured a spooky space rendition of "Un Chien d'Espace". Later in the set we find the combo "Nothing to Say -> Mountain" which was performed a lot during the 1996/97 tours but there is no recorded version that surpasses this one. The set is of course being topped off with an epic take of the "The Golden Core". If the band ever decided to dig into the archives and issue classic shows as "Roadworks"-series, "Rockefeller '97" would certainly be THE definite contender!

TDDU is record of the month in the monthly PDF zine "Guitars Galore" (German).
Now on YouTube:
Thanks for the article! I attended the gig which was just fantastic: Supersilent was, well, Supersilent and the light show was really exceptional, I am tempted to say even unsurpassed. I shot some crappy mobile phone videos:
Conne Island in Leipzig celebrates 20 years of existance this spring and a book is being published to commemorate the anniversary. Motorpsycho performances from Conne Island were featured on Roadwork I ("The other other fool") and Roadworks IV ("The bombproof roll and beyond"). The band will return to Conne Island on 19.04.2012!

Twenty years ago on this day in 1992 MOTORPSYCHO played their first concert of the year at Trudvang in Stjørdal in Norway. This concert — the band's 34th proper concert performance up to that point and the first of 22 total shows in 1992 — was captured on tape from the soundboard and leaked into fan circles at a very early stage so that it was well represented in collector's list already in the second half of the 1990s. This is the third-earliest "bootleg"-recording of the band live in concert and the only recording of a full 1992 show! In this show Motorpsycho played "Lighthouse girl" for the second to last time before it was performed for the last time two months later in Tromsø (the song was however resurrected for a one-off performance in Stavanger on 18.12.2010). Also featured was the common early number "Strange days", a predecessor of "Demon box".
