      The new artwork is beautiful.

      I remember very well the whole Phanerothyme divisive reactions back in the day, the questioning artwork, how much “Go To California” was debated, or the many references to Nick Drake in the promo interviews.

      It is a good album that I go back to semi-frequently because of how easy and soft it is. Happy to hear some of those songs during this Comeback tour.

      An album that is simply a nice page in MP history.

          Just a thank you note to everyone who has contributed to the recording and uploading of the shows on the Internet Archive. Much easier for idiots like me who don’t understand the motortrade or dime thing.

          Quite impressed by the sound quality as well. Thank you all.

            Extra custom fee of 14€, which makes the grand total of 64€ to buy the 10″ record and ship it to Finland.

            At least it’s a decent cover.

              Some serious personal opinions in there, but agree on Lucifer being a total live banger. Great song and great album opener, but live, it really delivers, especially for a song that has no space out jams involved.

              I’m also surprised, pleasantly, about the crowd size, being bigger than expected on this tour, probably showing that the new album is quite well received.

              The sequencing of this specific setlist is quite confusing for sure. Still quite the long show. More than 2h is always a win.

                They usually start shortly after 8pm.
                I think the Leuven and Sint Niklaas shows started close to 8:30.
                Only the Hannover show started at 7pm (for which Bent said “Good afternoon” when entering the stage)

                  Bag inspection at the airport, they took out the “Shock Me” 7″ I bought in Leuven, to do a cocaïne swab test only on the record.

                    Security behaved like assholes in many ways outside of that. Plenty of annoying fucks in the crowd as well
                    Worst audience of the tour by far.

                    Show was good but partly ruined because of all this. I even left 15min before the end because I was fed up of the audience.

                      I’m surprised how often songs from Let Them Eat Cake are played live during this tour. Maybe there’s a 25th anniversary thing going on.

                        Surprisingly good transition.
                        The sound was, to me at least, much better than previous shows. It all sounded very clear.
                        Another great show.

                            What a sonic blast it was. Mountain got the crowd on fire.

                              Great show overall, but that electric jammy version of Lady May was definitely Roadworks material.

                                Another great night at the Depot, where the band always feels at home.

                                  I might join you for the trip between Leuven and Sint-Niklaas, although there are some celebrations happening in the city, so arriving by car might actually be a bit of a hussle.
