Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

you know... I REALLY doubt that we're going to get another dvd

at least - as a stand-alone dvd for this current tour. I mean, just b/c we've seen them record the shows, doesn't mean that there's something planned.

Come to think of it... at an UW show - when haven't you seen one or two people near/on stage video-taping?

I'd almost wage that you're more likely to see either an updated "Footwear Repairs..." or something that's a cross between "Footwear Repairs" and the Prodigy's "Their Law" dvd

but yea - I'm definitely going to get like... one or two shows for sure, then - depending on the tracklistings, get whatever I'm 'missing'

(edit)
oh and btw - there is a dvd i've seen on some random torrent sites of a sizeable portion of a show (if not a whole show, I forget) from that "Riverrun Tour" (or whatever you want to call it) - it was professionally shot for tv. So no cool features or bonuses, but at least you get a live concert. - before anyone PM's me... I'm sorry, but I really don't have the time right now to start burning dvd's

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

I have a show from that 05 Benicassim Festival in Spain. I think it's complete.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

just ordered the birmingham show :)

can't wait 'till it arrives!!

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

It has everything except the last track, Two Months Off. It was broadcast on TV.

There's also the webcast for the Cocoon show in 2006, which may be unofficially released on DVD someday . . .

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

or maybe they'll use the video, as
extra tracks on singles.. or for some other project..

maybe they'll put them online at the underworldlive.com
site like they did with several of the other concerts?

you never know where they'll use them or where they'll
show up..

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

that was the same price for the tokyo live 3cd set..so yeah,
you're getting less..

but that might be the standard price that the service charges..
something like $30 per set..no artwork, etc...

i doubt any bootlegs would sound as good...also, i'm sure
they'll be going for a lot more, once they hit ebay, etc..

better to get an official version..

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Hopefully so. Soundboards should have much better fidelity and balance than Joe Bootleg's recording, which usually suffers from (or in some cases benefits from) nearby banter and the everpresent "WOOOOO!" (my girlfriend was listening to the Central Park UW show recording, and commented on the amount of Wooooing going on. But as Karl says, "Celebrate!"). However, a downside to these encore-type shows is that sometimes the EQ isn't lovely (maybe the bass too high or low) and depending on your tastes, it can sound a little sterile without more crowd reaction.

All that said, i'm definitely looking forward to these, esp. the 3 london gigs, as they'll surely surprise each night with different tracks/order.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Oh yeah, I'm definitely ordering all of them right now.

The way I look at it, there's a limited press-run for these. Probably less than the 7000 made for Electraglide. And if you want to buy that one now, it'll cost you $200, if you can even find it.

Might as well spend the $200 now for all of them. If you ever, ever want one in the future, it'll probably cost you more than $30.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

I wish these college days were over already and I had a disposable income ... sigh. I'll carefully choose one and be pleased to pieces over it. (so glad they're doing this :))

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Just got back from the Norwich gig and no CD there.
Can't remember the playlist totally
Only downside was no Glambucket.
The upside.........Dirty Epic, Beautiful Bigmouth Burnout!?
YOU DO SCRIBBLE!!!! :D

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

The words "limited edition" are scaring me. I can't afford a CD right now after seeing them in NY and ordering OWB. But how limited are these limited CD's...and give me my paycheck ASAP.

It'll be tough to make a choice about what CD i should get.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

They played You Do Scribble, Dirty Epic, and something Bigmouth-like at Norwich?

Wow!

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

sounds like an amazing show!

gutted there's no official recording of that one :(

- dc

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

This is how i'm going to justify ignoring this crap.

Are these CDs in any way being released in co-op by Underworldlive.com.....no? then they aren't real albums, and a waste of my time and money.

just because Underworldlive.com is going to have tracklistings for the gigs up on the sited, doesn't mean they're doing it for the people that bought these CDs. their myspace has tracklistings for the US shows too.

and i don't get this - what are they doing? making the CDs of the show at the show? these things aren't CDRs are they. i hope the f*ck not. how do you buy a real pressed 2xCD pack of the show you were at right after it ends? there's a time frame issue problem here.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's very simple.
Personally I don't see what you're complaining about. Don't you want high quality underworld live recordings directly after the show? :confused:
I guess they're a bit pricey though...

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

How can you say they "aren't real albums"? It is a co-op between the band, their management and the company that specialises in doing this. Of course it's a "real" album. It's a soundboard recording of the gig.

I'm not sure I get your point here.
Check out their website here. (Not the one linked on the first post of the thread, btw.) It explains what they do and how they position themselves.

Justify your refusal to buy all you want, mate, but so far you haven't convinced me that your "justifications" are all that valid. :p

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

These are official Underworld releases. They have underworldlive.com catalog numbers. They have Underworld/Tomato artwork (click on the Buy or Pre-order link for each one to see the artwork).

http://www.underworldlive.com/liverecordings will be in support of these recordings. Tracklistings will be posted there after the fact because the tracklistings aren't known ahead of time in order to be printed to the packaging.

From the FAQ:

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

$30 US is a bit much, so i'll pick one or two of them with the more tantalizing setlists.

The BIG question is, how long will they be available for purchase on the website? Does anybody know?

I'd really like to see the setlists from some of the upcoming gigs before making my decision...

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Just so people know what to expect, here's what the Birmingham package looks like - proper Tomato artwork throughout - and a poster I nabbed from the gig too :-)

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

The packaging and discs look fantastic. Can you upload a higher res picture of it?

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Not with this crummy mobile phone I can't :-(

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Hi,

I was at the Birmingham gig, and at the merch stall they had a bunch of cases for the I Love Techno gig in Gent. They were similar in packaging to the Birmingham one and had a number UWRLIVECD-019 or 12. Can't quite remember.
But there looks like there might be quite a few of these.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

...

i dont know what to make of this.

are we seriously about to get an avalanche of live recordings released through underworld's own label?
because this would be the... best thing ever?

butcher - this is really fucking simple.
UWR means it's released ON UNDERWORLD'S OWN LABEL.
which means it's officially on their label. part of their discography
which is why i'm sweatin it because there's going to be so much to get and very little cash to supply it.

sooooooo... stuff it.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

woh, hey its cool. i sometimes forget how personally everyone takes this stuff.

usually when something like this comes along i avoid it altogether simply because there is too much being offered and i'm an all or nothing type of guy when it comes to this sort of thing.

i didn't know they were Underworldlive.com catalog numbers because they didn't seem like any of the other cat numbers, i.e. Live in Tokyo (UWR-00000something). if anything i'd really rather purchase a show that i was at.

i'm not too hot on the idea of CDRs at all even though that's the only way it could have been done at the time. i've spent a lot of money on a CDR release before and afterward didn't feel like it was worth it. guess i'd rather wait and get a factory CD set, had it been offered.

thanks for the info and putting up the pic of the album.

was the Live in Tokyo album a 3xCDR release as well?

LOL, all i heard is like Mike Myers in my head when you said that!

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

i had actually just got done watching wayne's world for the first time in.... years. it's amazing

also - are these CD-Rs?
strikes me as a repeat of the tokyo thing, with more artwork, and those weren't CD-Rs

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

no nottingham :(

did they really play you do scribble at norwich?! want!

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

They sure did. Even karl looked like he had lost the plot. When Mr Smith said to Mr Price i have just found the You Do Scribble button! :D

Only downside is i want a CD with the same track list as Norwich so i am banking on one of the London gigs!?

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

These new live double sets are CD-Rs, the triple Tokyo set was pressed, not CD-R.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

sigh.
really
that blows to some extent.
...
i'll still get a couple

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

I'll get the ones I'm going to... and maybe the others if the tracks or arrangements are different. Comparing the youtube clip from Boston to the Birmingham and Norwich gigs, I think Bamboo is 'getting worked out live on stage' as King of Snake was, so it might get better/more experimental as the tour goes on.

For reference, here's a list of tracks that UW have played on this tour so far that are NOT on the Birmingham CD:

Luetin
Dirty Epic
Spikee
Skyscraper
Juanita
Mo Move
New Train (not sure how this differs from Dark Train?)
Rowla
You Do Scribble
Moaner

If there's a Norwich CD, it would cover 4 of these (Dirty Epic, Rowla, Moaner, You Do scribble)

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

They're the same. My suspicion is that long ago UW originally were calling it New Train to distinguish it from early versions of Dark Train that they used to play live which were significantly different from the Dark Train as we know it on album releases.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

I'm impressed that they can do this - it must take some serious gear to record everything, then burn multitudes of discs to sell right there at the gig. That's badass.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Faithless did this at Wembley arena earlier this year. Wonder who came up with this though!?

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

Pearl Jam and Phish were doing this years ago.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

might have been the pixies, i think. i remeber p-fork losing their heads over it.
then big labels were like "wtf is this you cant do this unless we're seeing money from it and we're not interested in doing this anyway so we'll buy out whatever companies are doing this. bye."

ah yes.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

directly after gigs? i remember them doing this and selling them en masse in lil slipcases at stores, not right after gigs.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

It's not that hard. Someone can be monitoring, mastering, and tracking throughout the show. With just 2 or 3 High-speed, high-capacity CD-R duplicators like this:

http://www.stordigital.com/roboticdvdcdcopy1000.html

you can pump out 300-400 discs per hour. Those duplicators only cost about $2000-3000 each. The packaging and CD-R's can be pre-printed and pre-silkscreened.

According to their website, Live Here Now has been doing this since Dec. 2004. I think InstantLive was also doing it at least since 2004, because they did all the PWEI Reformation gigs in Jan. 2005, including a DVD release at one of the shows.

Re: UWRLIVECD-002
 

and Kittens as well.

yeah i was going to say that about Pearl Jam doing the mass diskings of live shows.

so i thought the Live in Tokyo 3x factory CD album was available right after that show as well, am i wrong? how was THAT done?
