here is the setlist, realy nice concert. A 1997 concert as my friend Maro commented after the show.

Highlights:

Back to source: wild version with massive jam

Wishing well: maybe the best track of the show, amazing work by Kenneth

Manmower: with heavy explosions

the good old Kill some day: the most apreciated by the audience

waiting now for the Trezzo (Milan) show tonight!

Wow! Cool setlist! And the first time this tour they DIDN’T play Diana. The encores are a trip down memory lane :lol:

I hope they’ll play it tonight, maybe in stead of the “boring” Before the flood

Really strange they started TGC on the end notes of greener without a second encore.

Incredible Kenneth palying some sort of keybord while playing drums!! never seen a drummer playing 2 intruments in the same time.

Hello.

Great setlist, amazing show, the band at the top, very good audience, “Kill Some Day”, “The Golden Core” (at last at my 15th gig)!!

What more can i ask ? Nothing!

Fantastic setlist again! Great thing to start a show with Watersound, and there’s one song played for the first time this tour, Before the flood. Not one of my favourites at all, but it’s good to see they keep adding songs!

It’s like Bent said in Winterthur, they’ll keep adding songs, throwing Kenneth into cold water. What a drummer.

some other impressions

watersound: nice version, very sweet on the beginning, a really good way to open a concert

ozzylot: it seems to me the “normal” MP pop tune as Hyena,Serpentine ecc. It’n not bad but nothing special at all.

riding the tiger: not the best MP track but the long built up of the second part was a peasure to listen to. Snah was on another planet on this!

All is Loneliness: I love this tribal version, it’s less “exploding” than the previous one but Kenneth work deserves a listen

Cornucopia: long psych intro, thounght it was the alchemist in the first notes, nice developement with a special drum solo

Sunship: really beter version than the one listened last year in Milan, 2 climax parts with a really lot of noise, Bent’s sound on this IS really my coup of tea

Back to source: damn, this was one of the highlights!! the start is the same as BTC, really long and stoner built up in the middle, different and longer than on AADAP

Feel: pretty singalong by the audience, but less loud and intense than in the good old days, the fans are getting younger?

Manmower: another highlight! fantastic explosions, the intensity of the middle soft part was partially ruined by the typical idiot screaming stupit requests…Bent got pissed and asked silence for 2-3 times before getting into the last part, shame!

Whishing well: WOW! a great built up, more and more intense trought the end, the audience seemed not to know this one…it’s really getting younger …a really better version than the 2004 and the 2000 one! Kenneth work on this one was absolutely incredible.

Kill some day: probably the best melody ever written by MP! audience got mad and started pushing as on a punk show but nothing too wild or bad…

Before the flood: hemm, I like it on cd but live it’s really weak IMO,all the pushing was suddently killed

Sinful: i’m not equal to judge this song as it’s the first one I’ve ever listened by MP back in 1996…so. Nice version, not wild and fast as last year but not powerless as in 2002…

Like Always: niceeee, really apreciated as well

Greener: hemm? are we in 97 or 09?? the best version i’ve ever listened to.

The Golden Core: “fast” version as in the rest of this tour, last time I’ve got this one was in Bologna as well in 2000! probably the best way to end a concert.

audience…dunno, estragon wasn’t sold out, but it’s really big (1500?), i can try a 300-400? anyone have a better idea?

the sound was good, at least in the first row, but I’m not he best one to judge it, I’ve never complained about MP sound whit all the Db they put on your face, it’ more a body feeling than a sound thing to me.

I hope for “the alchemist” tonight.

Thanks for the in-depth report, Ricky!

“the sound was good, at least in the first row, but I’m not he best one to judge it, I’ve never complained about MP sound whit all the Db they put on your face, it’ more a body feeling than a sound thing to me”

NICE

Oh and your comments about the youngsters were really funny, back in the old days weren’t you one of the youngest on the road? :wink:

Have fun!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

it’s true! Back in the old days…I WAS young

now afer 26 MP concerts I feel OLD, at least in psychonaut terms :mrgreen:

as you can see my english is getting even worst!

Ricky

Enjoyed reading your comments, Ricky! Thanks! “Bts” sounds like a treat!
