My memory suggests June 4, 1999, Freilichtbühne Heppenheim. They opened with a snippet of The Boys Are Back In Town and Jon wore a black trench coat (it rained a little). But the published set lists make no mention of Don’t Make Me Happy nor does this review here
so maybe I‘m imagining things? Sorry to be confusing! 
No problem. My best (and assured, based on hundreds of bootlegs owned) knowledge though has no evidence / instance of playing that track ever by DP, I don’t own a single recording from any year that has it. WABC was dropped after the Purpendicular Tour and wasn’t back really until the Concerto Tour, nothing seemed to substitute it either. I don’t want to say you’re entirely wrong, but I know of no item that backs up theory of DMH ever being in the set.
I remembered I saw a clip with Oscar and Keith Emerson once. While Keith was good he was no match for the master.
For many years, I have been fascinated by Japanese rock music (J-rock), and I generally think their musicians are really good.

2021 I discovered by chance Mastodon. It was an article in “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, which was praising “Hushed and Grim” and directly led to the purchase, followed quickly by most of their records. Every time I’m asked for bands besides DP I like, I recommend them. IMHO you can’t go wrong in buying one of their albums. For first impression have a listen to this guitar solo https://youtu.be/jWFWazj7Ud8?list=RDjWFWazj7Ud8&t=162 and tell me that is not good. I had also much fun watching their “Making of” videos (they are taking themselves not to serious), like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rgi5C0JbRs
Enjoy, I hope, they find some new listeners here
Sounds interesting, thanks! Albeit, the video looks rather, ahem, distracting 
. But it’s another band to dig into.
Since we’re talking metal, I’ll take your Mastodon and raise you Avenged Sevenfold. That’s another band I’ve discovered for myself recently. Stumbled across this video on YT and got hooked instantly:
Their early stuff is a lot more thrashy, though.
Jorn Lande for Karin:
I understand this is not a very popular concept globally, but I might still need to point out the ever so subtle difference between Finnish and Estonian. When you want a divine intervention, in Estonian you say aidaku Jumal and in Finnish jumalauta. 
Anyway here’s another one:
Earlier this year I took my kid to see Alien Weaponry - a New Zealand thrash metal trio who sing in Māori. I was pretty impressed. Less so with the opening act Sex Club Satan… literally three very scantily-clad young women in corpse make-up wailing on stage. It failed as both a piece of music and as a piece of performance art. I’ve never seen a Glaswegian audience so confused 
Yeah, sorry about that. I don’t speak either, just picked up a few words in Finnish here and there, so made a guess based solely on phonetics. Then started googling up the band and discovered that they’re actually Estonian.
As my ex-boss used to say, close enough!
I’ll see your Maori thrash and raise you Mongolian folk. The HU:
Well, obviously
Not seen them yet, but working on it!
I certainly haven’t discovered them now, but I wanted to share this wonder here:
maybe that’s why I love the beat of Doing It Tonight
Hm, interesting. Doing it Tonight is my favourite track on Bananas, but I don’t hear it here. If anything, the melody reminds me of Village in the Sand/God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.
I really like the music of these two cute little donut bumpers here:
Dea Matrona - Live At The Royal Albert Hall (Red Button)
Dea Matrona - Hate That I Care (Official Video)
Dea Matrona - My Own Party (Official Video)
Dea Matrona - John Doe (Lyric Video) - YouTube
Dea Matrona - Stuck on You (Official Video) - YouTube
They are an exquisite mix of contemporary pop, trad rock, alt rock and folk - and the bassist, Ms Orláith Forsythe, is real hot (in more ways than one even though I’m sadly outside the focused clientele).

My mother always told me I should have been born a girl - well, we all see how that turned out! The curly-haired one who plays more guitar is Mollie McGinn, Orláith’s significant other.
A-ma-zzzing, so Uwe does like Rainbow
music after all!
It is really not to be expected. But I will argue that Oort stand out of the “folk metal” crowd from either country because of the keyboard work.
sure it’s not similar, but Doing It Tonight always reminds me of South America!
Ever since Guilt Trippin’ came out as a single, that hauntingly melancholic piano intro somehow makes me think of the music of early 20th century French composer Eric Satie, particularly as arranged and performed by Jacques Loussier Trio. For example:
