      A fine concert, with several glorious moments, but still: I’m not gonna go all “Tomas forever, Ringo never!”, but there was something missing last night. Looking at the setlist, they played nothing from the Kapstad era and only two songs from the Järmyr years. It may be a coincidence, but I felt that they picked songs that were more suited to the drummer at hand. No long songs, no long and far out jams, and hardly any song that didn’t follow a 4/4-beat.

      Still, plenty of highlights. The accoustic set was very fine; I especially enjoyed “Mad Sun”. Also, before the final accoustic song, somebody shouted “She Used To Be A Twin”. Bent looked almost surprised, and answered “Good call! We’ve forgotten that one. Maybe next time”. Hopefully it will re-surface.

      Also, it is always nice to hear old favourites from the 90s. The two encores from Demon Box brings back memories for an oldtimer like myself.

      They opened with “Cold and Bored”. I had thin hopes that they would make this the first Motorpsycho-concert where the opening and closing songs rhymed. Unfortunately, no “Golden Gore” appeared.

        It seems as if Motorpsycho played an accoustic set in Trondheim yesterday, at the Eat The Rich-festival. Just Snah and Bent. Several short films on Instagram (and possibly elsewhere). Anybody there?

            Bergens Tidende gives the show 4/6. The review opens with the statement “There’s no point trying to understand this show”.

              Yeah, a nice show, but it’s not the same without a drummer. The dancer was fun. They ended with Sister Ray; the only song with vocals.

                    Norwegian only, I presume.

                      Setlists.fm also lists The Waning between The Cuckoo and Rock Bottom.

                        @paolinogrande: “What a band!” – I used the exact same phrase when texting a friend after the concert. One of the most enjoyable MP-shows I’ve been to in a couple of years. The sound was good, the mood was good, and their choice of songs was excellent. I tend to enjoy it when they offer something from the early 90s, and to get both Mountain and PLan#1 was a treat.

                        I was standing by the mixing board, behind someone who listed all the songs played on his phone. Was this you, GBD, seeing that you posted the setlist so soon after the show finished?

                        There is a slightly longer review on my blog, in case anybody feels like practicing their Norwegian: https://kulturguffen.blogspot.com/2022/10/motorpsycho-union-scene-drammen-14102022.html

                          That’s OK – ticket gone.

                            I still have a spare for the Drammen show, October 14th. 410 kroner. Get in touch at jymbre¤gmail.com if you’te interested.

                            Still no takers. Will it help if I reduce the price somewhat? 300 kroner? 250?

                                  I (and all the other very old punk rockers here) am very happy to see that Motorpsycho has finally decided to name an album (or rather, two box sets) after a Minor Threat EP.
