No problem - enjoy the show! I loved mine - I focused in on stuff that I was seeing live for the first time (TH, Kobaia) and just enjoyed myself without being too intense during stuff they played last year (MDK, Zombies).

Here's what they played in LA and also at the San Francisco GAMH show:


Got it from this website, though not many people are posting setlists:
(I really appreciate that whoever posted the setlist did it with Kobaian diacriticals!)

I'll be at the Toronto show on Saturday with some friends.  I'd love to know the setlist before going - could someone please post what it was at previous shows?

Thanks!

Bummer, but glad they are safe!

So should reviews of shows on this tour go here or each get its own thread in reviews? I'm still going through my admittedly crappy iPhone pics from the SF show. These days, you can find great pics right away on Instagram, etc., so maybe it's not as meaningful to others, though of course mine are to me. 

I was pretty excited about the show and it did not disappoint. I listened to three different live versions of Theusz Hamtaahk to get ready - here I am with one of them and my MAGMA necktie:

^ i wish i could drive up and see them again! Vander is an impressive playing machine for 68 years. didn't realize he has such accomplished vocal skills. i dragged a friend who had never even heard them before and he loved them. i would imagine the venue was filled with prog musicians.

also vander's long time friend laurent goldstein is making a documentary about the music of magma called TO LIFE, DEATH, AND BEYOND. so DO check out this website that tells all about it. my other friend who did know them and i were lucky enough to be interviewed telling about how we discovered the band and why we like them so much. way cool stuff!

Buddy of mine was not able to make his flight so I have an extra ticket for tonight in Seattle. Not sure if it is a sellout, but I will give special PA member discount ( $20)

Magma was magnificent (as always) in San Francisco last evening.

I wonder how many in attendance were professional musicians.  Hedersleben, and quite a few other Prog musicians we know from the Bay Area were there.

Los Angeles show at The Regent was outstanding!  Seats in the front row, with dear wife and old friends was like having them perform in our oversized front room.  A very appreciative audience brought satisfaction to the ensemble and an added encore to trio selection set.  A magickal evening and Three's A Charm performance for this cat who played them on the air in 1974.  Hope you caught or will catch these amazing performers.

Gah. I have recently moved to Florida, and I would absolutely go to Atlanta to see Magma, was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Sadly that's a bit soon and my $ is tight to make a trip like thatCry

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Thanks for the heads-up - listened to the version from this album to get ready:


Although I wouldn't recommend this period to someone unfamiliar with Magma, it was definitely an enjoyable listen. Very synth heavy, with several classic Magma members - Klaus Blasquiz & Bernard Paganotti being the standouts for me. Anyway, looking forward to hearing Philippe Bussonnet perform it!

You're welcome!

Would you be too kind to film the marching death metal section right before Stella's solo? I'm really really excited to see this new lineup doing that live.
