Neotzar (The Second Coming)Notes:
– approx 2h 50mFrancesco
Hamburg, what an energy! The band delivers an exhilarating show propelled by a energectic Saturday-night crowd who cheers after solos already in the third song, claps and is at the band’s feet. The setlist is much more to my liking and most who attended the previous night in Berlin and this show agreed that it compared like day and night. Tonight was more like it!!!
The sound is fat and crunchy, the rock numbers are dirty and ferocious, the psych numbers are jammy and far out, the setlist flow is magic. Highlights include a gnarly “Comeback”, a “Lucifer” that really gels, a white-hot version of “Balthazaar”, deep psych in “Manmower” and “Lacuna”, the driving and powerful “3FM” and the heavy motorpsychodelic onslaught of “Alchemyst”. Another epic reading of “Neotzar” closes a 2h50m gig that leaves everybody stunned.
This night proves that the old wisdoms still hold true: Once MP are on tour magic can and will happen, their form increases, setlists develop, new numbers are being added as the tour progresses which is typically the case when they venture further into the continent. I got the feeling that the tour started in earnest tonight and the door is now open to many more thrilling shows!
Thanks fillmore for your effort! Especially for these two immediate unfiltered reviews showing the spectrum of what can happen! Looking forward to Dresden either way, which unfortunately will be my only show on this tour. Meanwhile, after being a fan for so long and having witnessed some weaker gigs…whenever i try to get my MP enthusiasm explained to someone i tell them it’s like the unconditional love for your favourite football team. You just go here. They might not score on some days, but the magic and the wonder can always happen….and it does!
Great words to describe the energy @fillmore Just take the Jam in California for instance. Snah was fully on fire. All songs were highlights in sound and intensity. Pure bliss in the second half and the audience was e
uphoric from the beginning, which was also very nice. Olaf arrived fully in the band, starting to show his skills. Nice to see. And Reine was also very into it. Great energy, great band.Oh and not to forget 3 frightened Monkeys. What a song. It was well placed in the set towards the end, so the qualities came out really well
