Recorded by dear MIRO. The first four songs were recorded at stage edge center until the taper gave up after being constantly "beershowered" by few very drunken girls,
before moving back about 5 meters, which did not far better, as the whole crowd was in a total frenzy, so he finally decided to stop taping. A real pity considering the fact,
that the show was over two hours long...and no other taper (as far as I know) had been there. But I can understand our dear taper. At some point the fun stops. I'll vote
for capital punishment for spreading other people with beer at a show!

Well..you read the lines before...sigh...one of my top five bands since quite a long time, and very nice guys, too. I can't remember a single second on which I did not enjoy them
at the shows I've been pleased to enjoy. Their "brand" of heavy psychedelic stoner rock is just amazing. Even more as the songs get into full life and bloom onstage.
And not to forget those mindblowing marvellous maelstrom jams at Psychedelic Network Festivals over the years, jamming with DAMO SUZUKI or SEVEN THAT SPELLS...Unique!
So, you see just a mere 45 minutes of the last THE MACHINE show in a while. Not because they are splitting or forcing other musicial interests, just for private reasons.
In the meantime until their next appeareance, there's just the 5th track of this show to released as a studio version on a future tribute album (but that alone is worth the purchase!),
and maybe a full force live album sometime in the future. I'll keep my fingers crossed, thums up or anything else for that.
Because here you get the REAL DEAL of PsychStonerRock at it's very best...all thanks to THE MACHINE for being so taperfriendly...SB.
