Underworld @ iTunes festival July 17th

[whatmakesustick]

Its a Saturday as well :)

So another gig at the roundhouse...just hope I manage to win a couple of tickets. Interesting choice to debut new material to what will be a mixed audience instead of a hardcore Underworld audience.

Tickets are free.

You can enter to win one of 25 pairs of tickets here; drawing will happen 7 days before the show:

http://www.itunesfestival.co.uk/lineup.php

Hundreds of tickets will be given away on Facebook and through an iTunes app:

http://www.facebook.com/iTunesUK
http://www.itunes.com/FestivalApp

For those of us poor souls not in the UK, "Recordings from each gig will be available to download on the iTunes Store."

Also, "The gig will be broadcast live online via the iTunes Festival app (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/itunes-festival-london-2010/id371999990?mt=8) and on ITV.com"

[razorpilot]

I am going to do whatever it takes to get to that gig!!!

For those in America, is there a way we can see it 'live' through the iTunes interface? Has anyone tried this before?

Yes, I'm wondering that myself. The first concerts of the festival start on July 1, so we'll have plenty of time to test it out and see.

[potatobroth]

ah The Roundhouse. The venue where my dream of seeing UW live in England was postponed for hopefully a later date ;P Certainly acceptable considering the circumstances of course!

Wishing a great time to whomever wins!

[the-star-samurai]

Oh my godddd, cannot wait to see the broadcast~ D:

Haha cracking, I assume it's a pair of tickets? Taking my friend as its her birthday the day before. We'll show these London people how to rock it! Hope someone records it seeing its being broadcast.

[TheBang]

Haha, well done. You guys seem to be amusing them.

[//\/\/]

bang - just hoping the tickets arrive! it's certainly been a better competition than the itunes facebook lottery. that's the most confusing thing on the internet...

dortyfellowwhickhamer - they talk about tickets in the plural, so i think you're ok for 2. otherwise she can wait in the pub!

Yer, isn't it worded in the way of 25 pairs of tickets to win from the main site? Kind of asks the question where there all being given away from.

Ha, I think she'd kill me if I did that. Sodding trains coming in at £60, but it should be worth it!

[TheBang]

25 pairs being given on itunesfestival.co.uk

Thousands being given on Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/itunesfestival/), the iTunes Festival app (http://www.itunes.com/FestivalApp), and apparently through other promotional channels like Cooking Vinyl.

[//\/\/]

the facebook thing is nonsense in that (unless i've done it wrong*) you never know if you've actually managed to enter...


*not impossible

Here's another ticket drawing:

yes - tickets that money can't buy. unless you know somebody who wins who doesn't like them...

[TheBang]

Yup, per the website, itunesfestival.co.uk, all tickets for all shows are free through giveaways. You can't buy them (through official channels, anyway).

[//\/\/]

(through official channels, anyway).

and how, one wonders, would one go about finding out what are unofficial purchase channels?

(i ain't asked this, roit? :cool:)

[super-saint]

So when are draws for these tickets ?

[TheBang]

Looks like most of these drawings are picking and notifying winners about 5-7 days before the show.

[razorpilot]

Some people have been notified already as there are listings on ebay of tickets for sale.
May be the only way to go... even if the sellers are making 100% profit!!

[TheBang]

Someone might want to make best friends with this guy:

http://twitter.com/uraeus/statuses/17886931401

[Dirty0900]

Whilst it's a shitter always having to go to touts, the eBay prices of £10 or £20 for the two tickets are still fairly cheap compared to paying £80 for a sold out gig that you do have to pay for.

Guess it depends how much you want to go.

[TheBang]

100 pairs of tickets being given away here (link doesn't work yet, but should soon, I'd imagine):

http://www.metro.co.uk/music/iTunesFestival/

If you haven't won any yet, you probably have a good chance at this one.

[whatmakesustick]

I am wondering just how busy this gig will be. With so many tickets being given away at the last minute, and I suspect, many tickets won by people who are not bothered about going to the gig (i.e. some people just select all the gigs when entering the itunes/facebook competition). My brother was photographing at the Ozzy gig last weekend and he said it was nowhere-near full. Really interested to see how a mostly (I suspect) 'non-underworld fanbase' crowd will react.

[razorpilot]

I think it will be pretty full, but I agree, I think it will be mostly attended by 'non-underworld fanbase'. The reactions on faceboook to the other itunes gigs have been far from complimentary on the crowd atmosphere, people stood motionless, talking through sets etc. There will be people there just for .NUXX, but I'm not going to let anyone spoil this gig for me!! Plus it may open some new eyes to UW music!

[Dirty0900]

Anyone want to be my buddy for this? My amigo has dropped out.

EDIT:

Ticket now gone.

In case you have somehow STILL not gotten tickets, simply retweet this before midnight:

i have to say - i'm STUPIDLY excited about this gig :D

[Spooky Shoes]

Looks like ITV2 are showing highlights from the festival on various nights, Monday night's program looks to be the best bet for a smidgen of UW.

I think they've mostly been streamed off of some itunesfestival myspace website.

[richardacre]

Won a pair of tickets and my brother is too pussywhipped to escape from dinner-at-the-inlaws to come along, so i have a "plus one" slot to fill...

I shall start the bidding at one compliment on my incredible good looks. Any offers to raise?

(Edit: This offer may be withdrawn if said brother fights for his right to party)

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/itunes-live-london-festival/id381173500

Okay, so they are offering to Sell the show via itunes, but it's not possible to buy it in the states?!

[TheBang]

The other iTunes Festival acts' shows have been showing up in the US iTunes store, once they're actually released (just no pre-order link). It looks like this year the EP's have been releasing within about a week of the show.

[darktrain]

Mentioned on the Facebook, you'll be able to watch live via MySpace at:
http://www.myspace.com/iTunesFestival

(I assume someone can/will record this)

[Champiness]

I'll try, anyway! They said they'd be releasing an EP, though...
EDIT: What time would this be on for somebody residing in the EST timezone (i.e. me)?

[the-star-samurai]

Hello? It was mentioned on the first page of this thread that it'll be streamed on ITV's website: http://www.itv.com/channels/itv2/itv2shows/itunesfestival2010/
Goodness gracious...

Champiness → According to ITV, it'll be on at 8 PM - which is 3 PM EST. That's my time zone too, lol.

[Champiness]

So... thanks for that, but another question:
How do you watch it from the MySpace Page? I'm from America so I believe this may be the only way for me to watch.

[the-star-samurai]

I have just learned that ITV streams can only be seen by UK residents. This includes on the ITV site and the MySpace stream (since ITV is providing that).

...no wonder it hasn't been working for me.

This is absolutely disappointing.

[jumbotron]

Anyone figured this out? Country restricted internet streams = sucks.

Show the rest of the world some love!

[potatobroth]

absolutely. lame.

[darktrain]

Isn't the entire point of the internet to be able to connect and share information (and pr0n) without borders?

[potatobroth]

Was hoping for some good news: Yan had posted that its a 'worldwide feed' but everything I'm seeing is stating otherwise. Hopin' Yan is right but its not looking good.

Kinda disappointed as I shuffled my entire day around watching this.

[jumbotron]

If you live in UK, you can come down to the gig for free. Too busy? Watch from home for free. Anyone else, go stuff it...

I know it's not UW's fault, but between BBC player & the other UK only crap we have to deal with, we should cut UK off from everything else on the net, including p0rn.

[potatobroth]

since Im home now, I'll stick around and try about the time UW is sposeta go on. clinging to the hope that itll work for their set.

[ThingInABook]

to all the people going to the gig tonight - HAVE FUN! :D

to all of us staying home - anyone figured out how to actually watch or hear the gig? can't see the streaming via itunes from here (lame)

[GoatSucker]

Fuck - came up against the non-UK error here in Spain, but just got my mate's VPN to work in time for ALAF...

Fuck this is cool...hope someone is recording...

[the-star-samurai]

So using one method I will not mention, I managed to catch the ending of ALAF and some of "Dark Train" - but then it stopped working.

At least...I watched and enjoyed some of it.

Is it over yet? Out of curiosity. Weird that a thread like this isn't that active right now.

[Dunwho]

YOU SAW ...NOTHING!!!!!

[jumbotron]

Any luck with this? thx

[Dunwho]

Any luck with this? thx

YOU SAW....NOTHING!! KEEP WALKING!!!

[the-star-samurai]

Thankssssssssssssss. Wish I'd find this EARLIER but, still grateful. :D

[the-star-samurai]

Yay for "Diamond Jigsaw" - it sounds lovely. ♥♥

[jumbotron]

Cool - thx for link

[Dunwho]

WHISTLE WHISTLE WHISTLE DO DO DO

[BeautifulBurnout]

"This is for all the DJ's who've ever supported us in the world! This is for you!!!"

Wikkid. :D

[the-star-samurai]

It's over~
From what I listened to, it was a nice set. :D

[GoatSucker]

Amazing set... new material sounds stunning and the classics were given a nice treatment.
VPN from Spain to UK managed to mostly hold up, which was a complete surprise.

Managed to tune in during ALAF, and convinced my mac to record the stream for the last 55 mins...

I'd recommend waiting until a complete set recording is out there, but for the impatient Mod note: I'd hold off on posting any recordings until the official EP comes out, and then don't post stuff that overlaps with it

[BrotherLovesDub]

thanks! will download anyway.

[GoatSucker]

This was via itv.com, not the DR stream.

It's complete from Scribble onwards, except for a few seconds dropped from Scribble just before the breakdown and a few seconds from the start of Diamond Jigsaw.

Unfortunately, missed ALAF & Dark Train, and whatever came before them...

[ThingInABook]

can't download :(

anyway, i'll wait for the partygoers :D

[vacant]

It was ace. Can't give a full setlist off the top of my head, but Dark Train, Rez/Cowgirl, KoS, Nuxx, Between Stars and Scribble all featured.

Scribble in particular made the crowd go wild.

Lots of kids left after that one though.

[GoatSucker]

can't download :(

anyway, i'll wait for the partygoers :D

Alternative link - this one is a bit louder as well - the original was a little bit low...

[TheBang]

Guys, come on, there's going to be an official EP release in a few days. Let's hold off on posting recordings of the show.

[holden]

thanks!

It's been a good UW day - ALAF from Tong, now this!

[Champiness]

Very, very disappointed about this "UK Only" stuff - it doesn't help anybody and I can't see any real conflict of licensing that would occur from a band that owns all their own music.

[BrotherLovesDub]

yeah, seriously doubt a buffering stream rip will take away many sales from iTunes. Plus, nearly everyone here is going to spend $70 dollars on the new album.

For every $10 sold in iTunes, the artist gets less than $1. Appx .94¢

Why aren't these tracks being sold through UWLive.com? The tracks offered on iTunes are strictly promotional for Underworld. There will be no substantial financial gain from them.

[super-saint]

Lots of kids left after that one though.

& what a relief that was :)

[vacant]

So who was the tall chap in the LCD Soundsystem T-Shirt? Seemed to know all the new stuff, so assume it's someone from here. I was the short guy with glasses in the green Tee standing nearby.

Granted it was annoying that half the kids were only there 1) for NUXX and 2) 'cause it was free, but if it encourages a few of them to check out the back catalogue then it can only be a good thing. I'm too old to be going right to the front anyway (though I did for Orbital at Glastonbury this year)

I've got a few pics and some vids on my camera, no full tracks, and I think the mic in my camera is shite anyway, so sound quality will be poor.

Incidentally, what did people make of the sound quality tonight- I'd heard from friends that the Roundhouse's sound isn't great, but I didn't notice any real problems in there. Apart from Kele sounding flat of course...

[khouri]

Why aren't these tracks being sold through UWLive.com? The tracks offered on iTunes are strictly promotional for Underworld. There will be no substantial financial gain from them.

Because UnderworldLive.com is SHIT. I love this band more than any other but their website is the most hopeless, unhelpful mess I've ever seen, and the store functionality is depressing. I don't presume to know anything inside about the UW organization but from the looks of things over the last few years, I'd guess it's a largely DIY operation. Admirable -- if it works, but it doesn't. This is one reason why UW were better off with a proper label, because there it's someone's only job to make sure the music gets to where people can easily pay money for it. It's a massive improvement that UW are availing themselves of iTunes, which is, remember, the biggest music seller in the US (world?).

[BrotherLovesDub]

I appreciate their idea but I agree with you that it needs more attention. I think UWLive.com has been great for some things and frustrating for others. I am keeping the faith that they'll either enlist some help in getting the shop running properly or get someone at UWHQ to get off their ass and make it work.

[Mac Haggis]

great gig! 11 times now. well happy!!

[hypeless]

I'm a little disappointed the download links were stripped from this thread. Who among us isn't going to buy the iTunes release when it comes? And who among us is going to share the links outside the hardcore-est spotters, us dirts?

Cause if we really wanted to, we could go set up shop somewhere outside the watchful eyes, and interfering hands. If we really wanted to.

Call me American (actually, don't. I'm Canadian and loyal to the Queen :-D) but what about free speech?

[razorpilot]

According to the presenters on last night's show and the published TV guides, there will be more UW on tonight's ITV show.

[richardacre]

I too was hoping for an, er, enterprising individual with a copy of MPlayer to have hooked it up to itv.com and run it with -dumpstream... I couldn't as I was there.

In the linked Always Loved a Film video at about 28 secs in theres a crowd shot and at the front is a white guy in a hat and a black guy in a black t shirt. I'm somewhere behind one of those two. You can't see me because I'm Invisible...

[super-saint]

What a shocking channel ITV is :mad:

60 minute program... 15 mins of adverts, 30 mins talking to non-entities...15 mins of music

& just one track from UW...predictabilly Born Slippy & that was faded out half way through :mad:

[GoatSucker]

The video for this show is now on Video On Demand in the iTunes Live app for iPhones & iPads... Works outside the UK as well :)

The tracklisting is the same as the iTunes EP, but the video is nice..

I've managed to grab a HD stream rip without too much hassle. I can upload it to RTSR, but since the audio part is available for sale, I don't want to tread on any toes...

[lectoid]

I'd venture a guess that most, if not all, the people with an RTSR login are the same people who bought the iTunes EP the minute they were able to.

I've bought the EP, but my desire for visual stimulation is high.

[potatobroth]

for as underwhelmed as I was by the Scribble released version, after hearing it on the iTunes live mp3s I have to admit, it has a shockingly awesome live presence. I'm aware the live verz is practically exact to the released one, but for some reason hearing it live moved me a heckuva lot more than the single.

[TheBang]

That's odd. The live version had the opposite effect for me.

[richardacre]

So there's a (deliberately, and it has to be said, honourably) edited rip on RTSR now, with slightly out of sync mono audio that "compliments" the iTunes tracks. Jumped around a bit to it tonight but all that this means is that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has an unedited pure video stream dump of the gig. Who exactly do I have to meet in a dark alley to exchange copies of this thing!?
