Absolutely the 2014 tour! I always held that one show of this tour I saw in very high regards. Would love for RW to also contain acoustic tracks that were a standard part of the set on that tour. These versatile sets ranging from acoustic takes of "Trixeene", "Big Surprise" or "Coventry Boy" via the proggy "Hell 1-7" to very far out "K9s" and classics such as "Plan #1" were great! Complete gigs please

Btw, not one tune from the 1990s, "Up/Down" is by far the oldest song in this set, only two Kenneth tunes, the rest is post-2017 Tomas-era material. Pretty bold. Wonder if the Saturday-setlist will look like this
The sound generally sucked in the big hall, so other bands sounded shitty too (some folks could not bear to watch 1000 Mods like that).
I wouldn't overstate the fact that the hall emptied during the set, after all this was a fairly long set for a festival setting and it was quite late. A person who is somewhat interested in MP will use this festival occasion to check them out but he might not necessarily stay until the very end given the fact that this person has already seen many other bands earlier. So of course the MP-tourist will leave after about an hour. That's the way festivals work, you check out a band for a couple of songs and move on. In Antwerp, which was the bigger and more important event, they devoted the first hour of the set to material which was more appropriate for a festival so the casual festival tourist got his/her money's worth and a more streamlined impression of MP in 2021.
Fwiw, Electric Moon, who are a good draw for this crowd, also played an afterhours set starting late past midnight and overlapping with MP's set, so folks will have wandered over to the small stage as well. But of course MP being the headliner should be expected to manage to captivate the majority of the crowd. However, they are an aquired taste and their type of prog rock is probably too much to stomach for the average Stoner Rock fan, so yes, they managed to empty the hall
Does it matter to us? I don't think so…
First time seeing Motorpsycho after a gap of two years was intense! Opening with "NOX" reduced the following set to a mere afterthought, I felt. "NOX" itself climaxed in a claustrophobic, nightmarish, inescapable, almost unbearable vortex of noise, overwhelming all senses. Tomas was great in this last movement of "Nox". Later in the set they went deep another time during "Hallucifuge". While Vooruit is a magnicent venue and room, it was unfortunately ill fitted for this type of loud and heavy music, but it was alright directly in front of the stage where we stood. The band lost about half of the crowd over the course of the set (they started at 22:45 and played for 115 min). And what's with the moustaches, btw?
"I always hope to read new information about forthcoming Motorpsycho shows this year after seen a new post."
Same here, Jürgen! Every time I see a new post in this thread my heart makes a little jump
