The Most Serene Republic, Live in Berlin, Magnet Club, April 14th 2006 [bootleg]

That night, The Most Serene Republic were opening for Stars. It was 9 PM when I arrived and the venue was already near-capacity.

I could not make it to the stage as usual and realised that I had the unusual experience of being on the young side of the average age of the crowd. I liked that and I liked the show as well.


TMRS played for about 45 minutes. Singer Adrian Jewett pleased the crowd by saying "Ick bin Dein, Berlin! Ick bin Dein!" ("I am yours, Berlin! I'm yours!") and telling them that they were "the greatest crowd we've had in europe ever". If I would get a dollar everytime I hear this from a North American band, I'd be rich by now. Maybe it wasn't a lie that night (overcrowded venue, screaming audience, etc.) but it definitely was when Ben Gibbard said the exact same thing on an, at the most, average concert evening in Dresden, February 2006.

Anyways, this is the setlist (please help me out with the songs I couldn't name):

In Places, Empty Spaces
(Oh) God
You're Not An Astronaut
Phages
???
???
Proposition 61
