Fifteen years ago, on this day in 1996, Motorpsycho performed at Rockefeller in Oslo for the third time in their career. The show was recorded and aired on Norwegian radio NRK P3 and eventually became — together with the concert at Rockefeller the following spring — one of the two most widely spread unofficial Motorpsycho live recording!

Also the much debated, or rather dissed, "PPP" would be interesting to hear. I must admit "Close your eyes" didn't really blow me away. Pretty doomy, yes, but not a towering psychedelic highlight — at least not on YouTube (cannot be compared to live anway).
Btw: Do people actually still record concerts on audio devices? Anyone around here who taped this show?

Thanks for the lenghty comments! If no other recording of this gig will show up the audio of your video might indeed be interesting to have.
"Starwheelhammer" on YouTube:
Excellent quality video of "Hallucifuge" (excerpt) YouTube. Deep space…
Given the brilliant London show — what Snah does there really blows me away — which was recorded just 3,5 months ago it's hard to believe these last two shows were painted by numbers by him, uninspired, soulless and cold. Can't hardly believe it. I would love to have a recording to hear for myself
So like this:
Close Your Eyes
Leslie's Vest (new song)
Whole Lotta Diana
Neanderthal (new song)
Sail On
Hallucifuge
Year Zero
Starhammer ->
The Wheel ->
Starhammer
Mountain ->
Nothing to Say
Kill Devil Hills
The Alchemyst
Gullible's Travails
WOLF PEOPLE from the UK have blown my mind the last months with their debut full lenght "Steeple" wich was released on Jagjaguwar last October! Fantastic psychedelic Folk- and Hard Rock! Of the many new psych bands out there probably my favourite!

Fifteen years ago on this day Motorpsycho played the first proper concert of 1996 at Studenten in Steinkjer (NOR). In this show they would debut "Heartattack Mac" and "Starmelt/lovelight". They also played one of only two versions of "Sister confusion" performed in 1996 (and the fourth last to date). Altogether the band played 61 shows in 1996, making it the fourth busiest year of their career. [url=http://]Compare the year 1996 in Dampsaba[/url]!
…and of course they could still continue to release highlights as RW on vinyl once a year or every two years.
Let's say they actually decide to release selected past shows and current concerts / tours officially. Do you really think it would be possible to issue all of those on vinyl?
Really, I would be fine with FLAC/MP3 downloads.
Or they could choose one or two concerts from each tour and bring them as exclusive merch on the following tour, as a tour-only-release. These could be CDs housed in a simple cardboard sleeve.
Or they could make each show they play available on CD-R or USB-stick immidiately after the show. It's possible, other bands do that too (incl. small and independent bands).
It's about getting this stuff out there and fancy vinyl releases are only obstacles in this regard, I guess.
