Yesterday (23.05.2022) in Dresden Motorpsycho performed a total Rock show, like a discharge of energy, resulting in an ultra heavy concert. Dresden's Beatpol soon turned into a sweaty Sauna but that wouldn't stop the band from forging ahead blasting one nasty rocker after another at us, just relentless and so heavy. This show had a total different charakter compared to the two previous nights. There were also veritable rarities such as "Frances" and "Rattlesnake", both tour debuts (with only two shows left of the tour). Even the more contemplative "A Pacific Sonata", while providing a much needed breather with the first part, was executed in the second part with force the way I have never heard it before, a total stand out version. After a main set and a short encore the show was basically over after 2h10min but the crowd forced the band back for a second encore which Bent intros with "You asked for it…" and off they go into an extreme, over the top, super heavy 21 min version of "The Wheel", everyone's favourite, their most primal riff taken to incredible heights, higher and higher until the whole place is just one screaming mess. What a blast!
Bavarian Guitar String Summit: Motorpsycho delivers psychedelic scorcher at Backstage in München 22.05.2022! A dream setlist is the launchpad for a distinct Sunday show charaterized by long solos, dueling guitars and improvisational explorations within a psych 'n' prog realm, leaving the heavy riffing almost entirely aside until the encore. It's hard to single out highlights as the show was one long cohesive trip but of course I will have to mention the beautiful beginning with "Taifun" and "Manmower", the latter breaking entirely new ground for five minutes in its jam. I will also have to mention a brilliant 15 minute "Dreamhome", a personal favourite of mine, an insane "STG" and the 17 minute "Mountain" during which Reine took the first solo, the major one, and he just killed it. And we got NOXed again. Smiling band, decently filled venue, crowd into it, 2h45min show. München and Motorpsycho truely delivered. Thank you! On to Dresden…

Updated. I like that a September tour seems to be shaping up (unless these will be one-offs)

Starhammer! Is this the first Starhamster of the tour? And how was it? On the last (EU)-tour (2019) it was a nightly highlight, each version totally crushing the previous version, every night a best ever version. Also, I gotta love an acoustic set.
Great pictures on Facebook.
It blows my mind they are now an arena rock band selling out 20.000 capacity venues in an instant while commanding ticket prices of around 200€. Geez, what has happened there?
200 people in Malmö with Anecdoten playing the same night?! That is a very good result for MP in 2022! Good job by the promoter indeed.

I think we should definitely stay here as long as it technically possible or, respectively, as long as it isn't too much hassle for Vegard to maintain.
Just read this on IQ:
Quote:The Netherlands follows in the footsteps of England, France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria and Switzerland in lifting all remaining measures on live music events.In Germany, most Covid curbs will be axed from Freedom Day – 20 March – although “low-threshold basic protective measures,†such as mask-wearing, will still apply. Italy’s live music sector is still waiting for the green light to restart.
Italian dates are most likely confirmed just waiting to be be announced and to go on sale! I hope they won't keep us in suspense much longer and that the gap in the tour can thus be filled. Will the tour be viable at all without Italy? I hope so!
