Today, listened to a few shows from 1995:

Oh, i love those 20 minute improved jams and extended tracks! The 1996 shows are amazing (see the famed "European Club Gig", to be revisted soon), but they have a much more standard set of tracks. in '95 you can get Oich Oich alongside Spikee and the UW remix of the Chemical Brothers' "Leave Home"!

Re: Operation: Underworld Live
 

for me, 1995 was them at their solid best live - do a set, have a dj break, come back and do some more - smashing :)

Re: Operation: Underworld Live
 

Ugh, that Leave Home remix breaks me with how incredible it is. Intense.

Get Lowlands '95 into you: it's a solid hour of hardcore jamming and improv, with gems like Born Slippy mixed up with Confusion the Waitress lyrics, Spikee/Leave Home, and a really stirring performance of Mmm Skyscraper.

Re: Operation: Underworld Live
 

Yup. listened to Lowlands 1995, and now am entering a stack of discs labeled 1996...from the first few relistens and from memory/checking the upcoming tracklists, this ithe year that Underworld built confidence - lesss improvs joining unknown tracks, more building and exploring a finite setlist:

You're getting me all goosebumpy, guys. Gotta get home to listen to all those lovely jams from the olden days. Ah well, at least I got Bootleg Babies and the Dark & Long single on my mp3 player for the train ride home...

@ holden: Thanks for the impetus and nostalgia that your project evoke.

Re: Operation: Underworld Live
 

Have to post on the blog still, but i'm listening to a thick stack of 1996 shows. More of a fixed setlist, but amazing, long jamming versions.
"Airtowel" at the Quartz festival is mmmmmm!

Posting/listening to more soon.

Rez @ Readin 96 is epic.

Re: Operation: Underworld Live
 

Is that the Rez/Cowgirl mashup on Bootleg Babies? Because that was fucking glorious.

Mmm, Air Towel... reminds me, I gotta find a bootleg somewhere with that on it!

Re: Operation: Underworld Live
 

Epic is the word. My all-time favourite track. That slooooooowwwwwww Rez beginning is sick. Turning up loud now for hammerin some music sense into the neighbours...

Each time I listen to this monster, I develop massive goosebumps and a fat grin when it kicks back in at around 12'. Pure bliss.
