| Set 2 | Rock 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! |
