A lot of interesting views and opinions in this thread. Thanks!
I recently saw the three shows in Stavanger, Haugesund and Bergen, having seen them regularly since 93. Of course there has been ups and downs along this journey, and right now we seem to be in a kind of a crossroad once again. The comparison with 2006 is quite a good one, except that I think from now on the band won’t have a permanent drummer anymore. My guess is that they will bring on whoever is available for different tours/shows, or maybe I read that somewhere?
The Norwegian shows this time have been quite “identical”, it seems, at least regarding setlists. Not that many changes as we might have seen in the past, but in a way it makes sense too, since Olaf has not had the chance to learn the whole catalogue…
The show in Stavanger (where I live) was very up and down, I think. All in all an ok show (with highlights in Babylon, 577, Lady May (!) and Taifun).
Haugesund on the other hand was so much better overall. Setlist still quite similar, but the playing and mood on stage was a lot better!
Bergen was somehow a mix of these two, up and down, but with a better overall feel to my ears than Stavanger, at least.Regarding style changes and directions of our boys, there are always never ending opinions or tastes, like it should be. My preference will forever be the 90s, but I also like later years albums, even if I don’t pick them out and play them very often, like the oldies.
To me it feels like MP is progging for the sake of progging. The song writing is just not at the sky high level it used to be back then. I like a lot of prog, but the endless noodling just because they can do it, doesn’t weigh up the fact that they wrote better songs before. Yes, I know that tastes differ, and a good example is NOX, which I don’t like very much, but others love. And don’t even mention the Unicorn….
The latest album Yay! is also quite forgettable. Nothing can make Dank State or Cold & Bored good. I will still forgive them for releasing it.Hopefully we will see many more good years in the future. I wonder what will be next!
Yay!” on the other hand, probably Motorpsycho’s strongest album since said “…Unicorn”.
Hmmm. Sounds scary to me. No more unicorn please!
@cloudhawker: If the book equals the album, I am not interested anymore…
@suntripper: No, I am not kidding, as I really don’t like the Unicorn album much. Still a book would be interesting, at least that is my hope
190 shows since 1993 (Tussler not included).
Most played song: Walking on the water, 62 times!
Most anticipated song: President Block (of course!)
Specials: too many to mention, probably all the fabulous people I have met around Europe!
Unique songs: 275
Total songs: 2960
Thanks everyone for a hell of a ride so far!
Any plans of adding Sandnes 18.01.2022 to the database?
Play time was around 1h25mins, they played ny lang, ny halvlang and NOX, if I'm not completely mixing things up…
Anders: This is just to save the system from a complete meltdown, with your massive list of gigs :twisted:
