Some brief notes from the show in Grieghallen, Bergen, yesterday. For me, the sound quality ruined much of the show. Grieghallen is noted for its fine accustics, but whenever the band went full force, all the nuances and details drowned in the massive sound.
Setlist? They opened with The Lurker, and with the exception of the LLM Suite everything was from the Tomas era. I don't have a full setlist, but recall that they played N.O.X. (which probably was the highlight of the show, even if the sound was far from good), The Waning, Kingdom of Oblivion, United Debased. Like Chrome came as an encore. I'm sure others can add the missing songs.
Even if I was slightly disappointed after the show, it was great to be at a show again. As far as I could tell the band themselves also enjoyed it all. As usual, I've blogged a little bit about the show (in Norwegian only): https://kulturguffen.blogspot.com/2021/06/motorpsycho-grieghallen-bergen-1262021.html

June 13, 2021 at 11:46 #38928@fearsatan That was fast – thank you!
And excellent sound too it seems!
June 13, 2021 at 11:57 #38929I finally got to hear the live version of KoO's song on this recording, and it was fantastic. I'm wondering what the people who were negative about the album and attended the live show thought of it.
June 13, 2021 at 14:44 #38930Listening to fearsatan's recording – thank you very very very much! – for the first time I had the impression that the KoO songs don't work live – no comparison to the other older and newer material. Rather boring. Almost another band. Probably a wrong impression because lack of live atmosphere / not being there in person. And probably inferior on a very high level – due to comparison with the stellar material alongside – LLM, Nylang & Halflang, N.O.X. suite. The Lurker might stand out – but sadly the sound is rather distorted in the first place.
Still I feel rather strengthened in my sceptical impression of KoO. I'm very grateful MP are back on a Motorpsychedelic course with both ny songs – really live jewels!

June 14, 2021 at 07:26 #38932June 14, 2021 at 10:01 #38933I am so looking forward to hearing this! Thanks so much for recording and sharing this with us!
June 14, 2021 at 10:22 #38934Bernie :MPD:
Terje :MPD:
June 14, 2021 at 10:31 #38935Thank you so much Terje and Bernie.
June 14, 2021 at 13:19 #38936and Tomas :MPD: btw. Just watched it. I mean I've always loved Geb & Kenneth and still do. No comparison competition or whatsoever. But I'm just really happy he's here.
June 15, 2021 at 09:38 #38937Thanks a lot, Terje and Bernie! In a time without regular MP concerts this means even more to us Psychonauts!
June 15, 2021 at 11:28 #38938Thanks a lot for both the Dime recording + the MP clips videos!
I sorta agree with Johnny on the KoO songs not being optimal live. However, I think
that can be attributed to the lack of Reine. I can imagine the live Lurker being improved greatly
with Reine in the mix.
N.O.X is still surprisingly good in a trio version. And the new songs as always show promise, even if they're clearly in a unfinished/work-in-progress state.
June 16, 2021 at 07:25 #38939Deepest gratitude toward the guys who made it possible to enjoy these clips and I'm amazed all over again about MP, that as a trio they are able to pull this off. Nylang/Nyhalvlang and NOX show how they use their skills to really become an orchestra of just 3 members.Very impressive ! :STG:
June 16, 2021 at 15:10 #38940hey everyone…the rest of the gig is up…thanks again TERJE !!!!
