Finally got some statistics tallied up..a quick reply;
30 gigs attended over the years 1997-2022. A whopping 174 different songs played! Song most often played is Walking on the Water (13), S.T.G. (12) and Hey Jane (11).
My five favourite gigs in chronological order;
Bergen 1998/10/14; first show as a fan, remember being slightly disappointed mostly because there were sooo many songs I wanted to hear. In retrospect, hearing the recording, there were moments of magic and they were just white hot in 1998.
Bergen 1999/10/23; one of those magical nights, I remember the soundguy nearly wept after the gig because it was so good
Tønsberg 2015/07/18; Demon Box gig, special atmosphere with a lot of pre-gig tension and near cancellation due to strong winds, but amazingly good gig especially for a retro type gig
Blitz 2021/11/24-25; shouldn’t have to say much, the Blitz run was astoundingly good, atmosphere and sound were off the chart, already the stuff of legend,
Song most anticipates: Radiance Freq. For the love of God, bring it back at least once!
Gigs attended: 45 since 2006
Location: mostly south east Norway, with some exceptions
Different songs played: a lot!
Most played song: KDH, Walking on the Water, No Evil, Sail On and STG (guessing from TraktorBass' post, looks like we attended many of the same gigs :lol: )
Most anticipated songs: always Un chien and Hogwash, lately also Sunship and Through the Veil
Specials (hard to narrow down!):
– Roskilde 2008, out of this world gig in the middle of the night
– Øya 2010, Timothy's Monster gig
– Larvik gitarfestival 2014, amazing Hell jams with Reine
– Teknisk Museum 2014, early HBM
– Dansens Hus 2021, a spectacular experience
– Sentrum Scene 2022, that Starhammer…
Shows: 9 since 2006 (pretty sure I'm missing one or two here)
Locations: Oslo (Øyafestivalen) 2006, Roskilde 2008, Bergen 2009, Nordfjordeid (Malakoff) 2009, Oslo (Øyafesitvalen) 2010, Oslo 2011, Bergen 2012, Bergen 2014, Fjaler 2021
Number of songs: 84
Most played: KDH and Alchemist
Most anticipated song: Drug Thing, Flick of the Wrist and Wearing Yr Smell
Special:
– Øya 2006. My first show, and they played Hey Jane, which was huge for 17 year old me.
– Roskilde 2008. Best MP show I've seen, despite not my kind of setlist. I grabbed Bent's lyric sheet for Inside Looking Out, and it was written on the back of his plane ticket.
– Øya 2010. Timothy's Monster live, fireworks and all. I remember I met a handful of you guys there, but most names escape me.
– Bergen 2014. Monumental Hogwash and a very welcome Hyena.
– Fjaler 2021. Special show in the middle of a forest. The material was a bit too new for my taste, but the whole thing was quite an experience.
