"Hello… hi we're Motorpsycho and we fucked up again…"

[Hans Boller]

"Sorry!"

"Excuse us…"

"What a great start, huh?"

"We haven't learned how to use our new both (?) guitar tuners… they're a bit… new… technology."

That little dialogue always cracks me up! I guess the band also found it quite funny and that's why they included it on the DB box set. My question is: from which concert is that snippet? I'm listening to the bootleg and its allegedly from Gent 1993, but I couldn't find a setlist for that show anywhere… Did they even play that show?

[ThorEgil]

It's at the end of track 1 of this one.

Thanks a lot! 70 minutes seems extremely short even for 1993. Were they just bugged by their equipment failing them or were there other reasons?

[kjellepelle]

Havent checked the set list for that tour as it was the year befor I joined. But Bent was really plagued by food poisening ref Star Club/Dresden and also the infamous accident when Geb stepped on a glass barefoot and they had to cancel some dates.

The tour of short concerts.

[Hans Boller]

Thank you both for your insight. I guess playing between 60 and 90 minutes back then was also already pretty taxing because of all the screaming. It's also noticable that in Gent there's hardly any jamming going on, which would be unthinkable nowadays. ThorEgil, would you maybe consider putting the Mezzago show up on Dime? I'm still missing that one.

[ThorEgil]

Grab it before it's gone.

[Hans Boller]

Thanks a lot kind sir!
