Into The SunNotes:
– same line-up as yesterday in Erfurt
– approx 1h35mFrancesco
The whole evening was pure magic. The venue is one of the most beautiful i have ever seen, lots of kind people and excellent beers. But, more important: the gig was amazing! Everything worked, every single song was a highlight for me. The singing was spot on the entire gig and the band seemed to have a lot of fun.
The audience really seemed to like it too. I had the impression there was an interestion mix of die hard fans and curious people who live nearby or in Valkenburg. I spoke to a guy who never heard of the band but was totally blown away and really happy with the Grand Funk cover.
A few random notes:
– more jamming than i expcected beforehand. Totally far out versions of Psychonaut, Manmower and Mountain.
– Bent introduced the Visitant as a song they never played live before, which isn’t true. Really really awesome version. Much better than the studio version.
– The new songs worked perfectly. Very very nice and groovy Psycholab.
– I could be me but i don’t think i have been this moved by a Motorpsycho gig in years. Mad Sun, Hey Jane, Manmower, Paterns, wow.
– It was a sitting gig. Afer a few songs when it started to rain lots of people got to the front of the stage. Awesome. Lot of people totally in the zone.
– Bent was quite talkative and funny.
– They where supposed to play untill 22:00. At 21:58 Bent said they where allowed to play one more song after which we got a blistering rendition of Into The Sun. I guess it is about right the gig lasted 1h35m but it could be a little more.Well, fuck.
No seriously, happy to read it was a great moment in time and space. I’m more into the space prog epic MP, but was quite curious about this approach and set as well (especially in this setting). Love these concise shorter songs, which -live- weren’t so concise or short apparently.
I managed to relativize my absence, seen ’em so many times since 2013 and from Tromso to Milan, and will probably see them again in 2025 and all the following years, right? :)
If they can play the Valkenburg OLT, they must at some point play in the Antwerp Rivierenhof OLT. A magical setting as well (look it up!), with a great annual Summer line-up (over 2,5 months) consisting of (among many others) Emma Ruth Rundle, Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar, Explosions In The Sky, Peter Hook & The Light, Marcus Miller,…
MP would definitely fit in, as a doube bill or so, like yesterday…
And the videos are starting to appear on Vimeo.
Thank you Bernie for capturing this and preserving it for eternity! 
@THOREGIL : you are such a cheater
I noticed you liking them immediately while they were uploading to VIMEO But its only official when they appear on the CLIPSSITE sound is not great but hey…it was open air and rainig very hard
SO ahem…again…everyone…some videos are appearing on the CLIPSSITE…feel free to check em out…more to come x
Sounds pretty good to these ears, Bernie! Looks good too! So great to have these impressions of what looks like a special night. Thank you!.
Btw. Bent said before The Visitant that they’re playing sth. they’ve not played before- but they did (though not yet with Ingvald). I remember once in Bremen and I recall not being too enthusiastic about it … on Saturday in Valkenburg it 🔥 was 🔥 burning 🔥
I totally agree Tomcat, awesome version.
Thanks a lot for the great videos Bernie! You apperently had a lot of cameras installed. Very well done! The sound is quite good too.
I am perhaps the most happy with the vid of Mountain. Not only because its an awesome rendition of an amazing song but also because of what happened in the audience. Like I said, magical night.
@Krist: Mountain was indeed a Highlight, looking forward to Manmower and P’naut / Quick Fix / X3 coming up :)
