no - you can post negative stuff... but at least have some basis for your negative complaints

it's just like people who say that something's cool... but can't say why they actually like a track - it's annoying as F**K

and yes - I would be disappointed if they didn't play KOS in some way or form (and no - not b/c it was a 'chart track' or whatever). I've only seen them live three times, but each time they played it, it was significantly different. I like to have the anticipation of whether or not karl's gonna do a really long "fire in the hand between us" part or not... and b/c they turn it into a monster of a track when they play it live

and UW don't have the habit of playing the same tunes over and over again... and if there are similarities, they try and throw random stuff in...

like - when I saw them in Miami for the Ultra Fest... sure they pimped the well known tracks, but they extended the hell out of them, and added dub flourishes, and they played a unique version of Twist that I've never heard again. It was like UW doing a Leftfield version of a UW song... and the piano loop didn't kick in for a while through the track

Me too! And did someone mention "Spikee" and "Kittens" at the same show? Good lord!

yes that was Tilburg on thursday. made my night. Kittens = no.1 tune.

they also played Tiny Clicks, and at Luxembourg played Dark & Long, Mmm Skyscraper and Born Slippy (original). Great to hear them again after all these years.

Just my two penn'orth, but I cannot think of any other band I could go and see three nights in a row and see three completely different sets.

Sure, KoS, Moaner and BS Nuxx featured in all of them, but aside from that each set was different and unique in character, and even the "repeated" tracks themselves were different each time.

So, no, there is nothing I wish they would drop from the setlist - it is impossible to guess from one day to the next what the setlist is going to be. Name me another band like that! :D

i didn't go to all the recent shows but in the past i have seen a number of dates on the same tours often on consecutive nights.underworld rarely repeat themselve, always mess with the versions of the big tracks and they really are the only "major" electronic act to do this.they are unique lets not forget that. :D

I've never been a fan of 'Moaner' but having seen Underworld 6 times their sets are always different even if they play a lot of similar tracks at times. My personal highlight of seeing U/W was at the V2000 (or V99.....can't quite remember) when i was coming up like a train and they came on stage and started with Juanita which is my fave track........i could have died and gone to heaven at that gig:D That's the only time i've heard Juanita live and when I put the Everything Everything DVD on and it kicks off it makes my hair stand on end even now. I guess what i'm trying to say is that everyones experience of watching U/W live is different so personally i don't really care what the tracklist is, i just know i will enjoy it. Similar sort of thing with Orbital/Leftfield/Faithless/Chems...............................

ditto for me. Only I've seen UW 6 times this year and I was coming up like a train and Kittens came on at Tilburg last thursday which is my fave track... i thought i'd died and gone to heaven.

Beginning to annoy me now...

Moaner and NUXX will always be classics.
