[Dirty Saint]

I'm in - see you all there

[melontang]

I'm in standing- looking forward to my first Underworld show

[lemonjelly]

hesitated on getting a ticket and thus missed out on standing. got a decent seat though, and exceptionally excited.

[stimpee]

I will be there somehow. Meetup being discussed in the Discord chat room

[lemonjelly]

ticket arrived this week. hotel and train tickets booked a few weeks ago.

Getting excited. also wondering if we may get a few surprises? Noticed the other day Karls diary got no updates for a month. Might that be because they're working on something, or simply rehearsing?

[potatobroth]

i know they're planning on playing a few new tracks... so im getting excited here too!

[TheBang]

Getting excited. also wondering if we may get a few surprises?
Their tweet announcing the Bristol show said "Playing some new songs"

Noticed the other day Karls diary got no updates for a month.
He's been uploading them in batches in recent years. For example, almost the entire month of January this year was only uploaded on Jan. 31. He may just be behind in uploading February's entries.

[lemonjelly]

I saw the email re bristol after my post. now I am proper excited. Probs need to ensure I am able to acquire some merch too.

I didn't realise the diary entries were uploaded in batches. Hopefully he's behind with the feb updates owing to the intensity of prep for drift series 2? (wishful thinking obvs!)

[TheBang]

I didn't realise the diary entries were uploaded in batches.
They didn't used to be, but for the past couple years, that's how it's been going. You'll notice, he just uploaded the past month that was missing a couple days ago.

According to khouri on Discord, Rick is doing a DJ set for this, so you'll probably want to be early and not miss that Support slot.

I appear to have an extra spare standing ticket, if anyone wants to go?

I think we all want to get to the RAH for 7.30pm....

[The-Frank-Tavern]

Underworld Insta confirms Rick DJing from 6.30pm, Karl playing some jams.

UW start 8.50pm.

[TheBang]

Updated set times:

6:30pm Doors
7:30pm DJ Rick Smith
8:15pm Interval
8:40pm Underworld
10:45pm Approximate end

Edit: Even though those are the times posted, apparently Rick has been playing since the doors opened at 6:30.

[lemonjelly]

Yeah, Rick kinda did 2 warm up sets. First one was glorious. Amazing version of river of bass.
Main set list same as Bristol except push upstairs was swapped in for border country (which I'd have loved to have heard, as the version played at Wembley in 2019 blew me away).
All the new songs ROCK, especially denver luna. Gene pool awesome too.
Bit surprised nothing from 100 days/barking/Barbara/drift. 4 killer new tracks plus most of EE.
Will await corrections in case my memory is faulty.

Two Months Off from A Hundred Days Off.

Mmmm Skyscraper had the remix intro from the 12" B-side. :)

[Dirty Saint]

What a great night - great crowd, great venue

Loved the new stuff especially Gene Pool:)

Where does Karl gets his energy at his age??!! :eek:

[The-Frank-Tavern]

[potatobroth]

what happened to the "Special Guest"?
That's always code for the opening act. In this case, it was DJ Rick Smith.

ah totally. i was thinking Spoonman in my head, but yeah I think you're right with .NUXX

[dirty050505]

Some great new tracks played looking forward to their release! Did anyone get anything from the merchandise stall? Think I saw a signed song sheet and the 'Little man' thing available that Karl referred to before NUXX started,
