Set 2Rock n' roll jamfest! Or as Paulino said after the show: "This being the second show of the tour can only mean two things: Either they won't top it, or they'll tear down every venue they play from now on." In retrospect, although I was floored that night, Skien doesn't make my top 5 of this tour, but that says more about the tour than about Skien...
The setlist had ?berwagner and Nothing To Say as the first encores, but they were not played.
Highlights: The premier of Close Your Eyes. It starts out like something that could have been on Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, continues with vintage motor-droning, and ends with something that could come right off an lp of early Yes. The vibe is very early 70's, and pure progrock to these ears. This masterpiece would have fitted perfectly on Angels & Daemons or even Trust Us. It beats the shit out of any song on It's A Love Cult.
For Free is rearranged again, and this is how it sounded if released on Blissard instead of Phanerothyme, I guess. It kicks so much ass, I had no clue there was so much ass around to kick!
My Best Friend is another 17 minutes of Motorfloyd. Good intro, good singing, very powerful middle section, good jam, good drive, good Snah, great spaceout. You think you've heard it all before, but you haven't!
STG is as hardrocking and noisy as back in 97. It ends up in One More Daemon going through a blissard of feedback. Jawdropping.
Dora Peach has a cool drum intro.
The start of s' Numbness gets fucked up by Snah's wrongly tuned guitar. They take a 42 sec break to let Snah tune, and continue the song where they stopped with Bent screaming out "It doesn't really bother me!". Great moment.
Tristano is different every night. Here you get 13 minutes with so much power, it's absurd!

CommentHans Magnus "Snah" Ryan - Gibson hollowbody, Gibson Les Paul, vocals
Bent Sæther - Rickenbaker bass, vocals
Kenneth Kapstad - massive drum attacks
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, friends and explorers of the outer spaces of brain transition through sound, fellow psychonauts everywhere...
It's time again for some serious mindexpanding music...Finally back in Motorpsycholand with melting volcanoes, exploding suns and swirling supernovas!
And what a fine setlist they put up for this first show of the European Tour of 2016. The new album "Here be monsters" was played in it entirety, plus the bonus title track, which will
be available as 12" only at the shows. The remainer of the show was spiced with a lot of surprises which give the living proof that this fabulous band always "invented" themselves new,
even in their 27th year of existance. A quote from a review of the new album in a music magazine comes to my mind. It should read something like that...
"They are (almost) able to do everything and they are (almost) allowed to do everything." I can only agree...without the "almost", of course...
So, without any more silly talk, here's by far the best band in this galaxy and beyond. Join in the fun, fasten your seatbelts and lighten one up! SB.
