CommentThis the first time (second & last time 03/30/00) the second verse of "K9" is omitted (here: due to a broken guitar).
Longest "Liz Reed" in circulation.

originally performed by:
# Allman Brothers
* Sun Ra
~ Miles Davis
% Stooges

Incredible jamfest! Just fantastic.

There are two recordings. Although they do not differ enough in sound quality to get different ratings, they do differ: My recording is crystal clear, but lacks bass. Audience recording #2 has more bass, but isn't as clear as mine. What you end up with is a matter of taste. I prefer the clarity of my recording:-)

K9 is the total pling-plong psychedelia version with Sun Ra's We Travel The Spaceways thrown in like the most natural thing in the world. Jawdropping. During the last crescendo Bent breaks a string and has to skip the last verse. (The whole 12 string guitar goes out of tune if one string breaks.) So he quickly changes guitar, signaling to Snah to do the same. Snah reaches for the acoustic one, and on the fly they slip smoothly into Upstairs/Downstairs. Amazing.

Bent's setlist also included Plan #1 after Go To California, but it was erased, and also not played. Heartbreaker was on the setlist after Nerve Tattoo, and Pills, Powders & Passionplays and Vortex Surfer were both apparently possible last encores, but none of them were played.

Bent plays the riff of Deep Purple's Burn during the hilarious intro to Song For A Bro'.

Highlights: The Allman Brothers Band cover Liz Reed is the longest MP-version we have on record.

Go To California has a great guitarsolo.

K9 with the Sun Ra cover is probably a once in a lifetime experience, mindblowing.

Walkin' With J. again has the "Karius & Baktus"-intro (it's a song they learned from the famous norwegian childbook and childsong writer Thorbj?rn Egner), and a great jam around the Miles Davis song "So What".

Black To Comm is very powerful.

A vigorous Song For A Bro' closes the circle with the longest version to that date.

Set 2Comments: For the first half of the show (up to Never Let You Out) I stood in first row just in front of Snah. Although the high end overpowers a bit, this part of the recording is very detailed and should be a dream for any Snah-fan. During Never Let You Out some idiot threw two beers at me, soaking both me and my mic. The moshing and the throwing of beers made me change position, so the following couple of songs have varying sound. For Glow I finally found a nice position again which I kept for the rest of the show.

Highlights: The amazing Go To California (the longest known version), the very good and heavy Superstooge, and everything from Glow and out. This is another amazing Halden show, and one of the best shows of the 2001 Phanerothyme tour.

Alex says:: it is amazing how good this year's recordings turned out. no matter if the CSB mics were involved or not, the quality is amazing. this is a good example. the sound is just great & it even seems to have more bass (check out the beginning of "glow"!) than anders' recordings usually have.

the performance is already more continental than the other norwegian shows (both trondheims didn't do that much for me!). the opening with "watersound" is a dream & the next 40 min are pure rock-jamming. the first "drug thing" since 1998 is perfect & the jazzy encore ("pppp" > "trane" > "best friend" = 30 min) is an improvisation highlight! halden seems to be a really cool place to see MP! :)
