Hey all!

Flew in from Detroit last night. Very excited!!!

I will be wearing a red shirt with the Detroit Red Wings logo.. Big beardy guy.. Say hi :)

Have fun

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Enjoy the gig, everyone!

In 2007, I flew halfway across the US to see UW in Central park, NY. Alas, 8 years later, I couldn't swing a trip west ( I was holding out hope for a dubno gig at Red Rocks!)

Hope its an amazing show for you!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

holden STILL pissed after last time we flew to denver for red rocks and the venue got bumped :/

we've been waiting on an uber for 30min... looks like we missed the early meet up & pic. shame

You're not the only one!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Really disappointed that the Hollywood Bowl show couldn't have at least been streamed live for all the Underworld fans, esp. other US fans, that could not be there this eve. Now I'll probably never hear 'Tongue' or "M.E." ever performed live. :( Hope all you dirties have a fantastic eve. I'll just be home, reminiscing/scanning old party pics while listening to live from the Cocoon Club '06.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

so... dubno in full? unfortunately not... mmm... hollywood bowl i hate you. aside from the short show (lame curfew), there were no improvs nor encore and 1 major sound flaw, like someone accidentally hit the off switch towards the end of jumbo... the sound just cut out, but the band was unphased and just kept going. other than that the sound was excellent, could have been a tad bit louder, but that's just me... rick, karl and darren were in fantastic form. highlights for me were dirty epic, two months off, and born slippy of course. best moment was when karl told the crowd to dance with him towards the end of the born slippy. amazing!

here's the setlist:

1. mmm... skyscraper i love you
2. spoonman
3. rez
4. jumbo
5. pearls girl
6. dirty epic
7. cowgirl
8. scribble
9. two months off
10. spikee
11. born slippy nuxx

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Good setlist but we were all expecting Dubno in full. Not sure what made them change it all up, and we had Rick, Darren, and Karl on stage. Great show (two newbies were with us, but we were all ready for the album in full).

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Well, I enjoyed the show from my vantage point, high amongst the proletariat. Things sounded pretty good as well - it was great having Darren, Karl, and Rick on stage. Very fortunate.

However, I was kind of expecting the full album......

The show only underscored the need for Underworld to return to the U.S. and play long-neglected cities - Chicago? Detroit?

I board the dreary aluminum beast Tuesday night ...30,000 feet above the earth.....

Safe travels, everyone

Cheers

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

What song did they walk out to? I'm pretty sure it was one of the remixes from Dark&Long (215 Miles?), but does anyone know for sure?

Most 'Ospitable.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Every track was performed wonderfully, and some variations have been introduced to the dubno songs since the first show in London. The house and the band were in tremendously high spirits. I think only the longtime dirties migh have been disappointed by the start/stop nature of the performance, but it seemed many people were unhappy that dubno was not performed in full. This was really the only opportunity for Americans to experience it live. A pity, but as I said the songs that were played were pristine.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I see you guys are still up. :)

Amazing show. No, it wasn't Dubno as expected, but I'll happily take the unexpected from UW. I was afraid we might have revisited Chicago 2002 when the sound cut out during "Jumbo," but fortunately it was only a momentary glitch.

Really enjoyed Jungle as well - it's high praise indeed to make this comparison, but some of their material strongly reminded me of Chic.

gcoleman99 and dubnobasswithme, it was wonderful to see you again after all these years. Troy McClure, jetpig, Chris M and whatkilesaid, great to meet you!

We waited outside the artists' entrance for a chance to say thanks until we were told they would absolutely not be coming out. Not surprising, it's Father's Day and their families were with them. I did hear a comment from one of the crew that there are hopes for a more extensive tour next year - let us hope that turns out to be true!

Thanks to everyone for a magnificent evening. Now off to grab four hours of sleep before I head to the airport. :)

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Vibe was great, a wonderful first show, glitches and all! I had avoided any setlist expectations, thankfully, and was ready for anything; I missed the guitars on stage, but that's about it. PG was straight outta EE, Scribble was in the Maida Vale style, Skyscraper was lacking it's album ending section, and Spikee was abbreviated, though tastefully, and everything had some small flourishes. Good to meet everyone, travel safe, and here's to hoping next time isn't too long from now!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Since this is the 5th time I've seen them live since 99, I must say every concert has been different (also didn't help that this is the first non open floor venue I've seen them in, this is the first I watched the show far away from close to the stage)

a bit mildly disappointed too since it seemed like they would be playing dubno in its entirety at first, then the song stop song nature of the performance (spoiled by the previous shows where they would normally do 2-3 songs seamlessly to start their shows) but from the darker tone of Pearl's Girl followed by a slower brooding rendition of Dirty Epic to progressively more and more upbeat and anthemic songs all the way to the end...it may not have been the old long non-stop improvs, but the flow from Pearls Girl to the end was a very nicely paced tempo and performance (it felt like it kept building up even with the stops in between songs). I was expecting an encore of Dark Train or Moaned to top it off, but considering its an open air Sunday event its understandable how there was no encore.

speaking of Dirty Epic, I remembered when that was a song that rarely made the live set list...the wiltern 2002 was only the 2nd time it was played I think, complete with a blazing green laser light show, and the only time I've watched them perform it in its album form (now we get the Darren Price era dark groover version). So it was nice to see a slightly subtler dark version of most people's favorite track

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Yeah. I particularly enjoyed Karl's singing on "Dirty Epic"...very soulful. You could tell he was trying to revisit that mindset. It's bittersweet, but it made for an outstanding performance.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Fantastic show. Very unexpected but welcome setlist given the prior shows. The band and particularly Karl were in a great mood.

I noticed a few of the prime center front pool boxes cleared out early - had to beat traffic or get back to tend the wine cellar, I guess.

Tbh, not at all disappointed in the lack of front to back dubnobass - imo was the right call for that venue and that night and I'm very grateful to have been able to make the trip from NY ;). Thanyouuw

Wow, what a great time! Met so many people. Hi gcoleman99 and cdave2! Roscoes was great. Fun picnicking with the dirtyepic crew. Loved the Bowl. First time there and I'm dying to go back. I had such a blast dancing like a fool with everyone. :D

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Also, from now on the album should be known as nubdo in honor of Jason Bentley flubbing the name in the intro. :P

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I propose that as the title for the new one. :D

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

just a quick checkin here. i'm sitting on a generous sum of candid/soundcheck and live performance images. might be a week or two before getting sign-off from band management on what they'll allow me to share.

had fantastic conversations with band and met their families. karl even recognized my second toughest in the infants sleeve-tattoo. wish i could say something that hasn't been said about their kind-hearted nature, but here it as again. such sincere people! darren was a bit shy at first, but i managed to get him to share some insights on the updated tech.

have no arguments on the setlist. completely fit the occasion and it was a treat to hear the slight mods to each track, which had new and fun elements different from previous tours. i'll also add the lighting rig was exceptional. it's easy to go unnoticed with their fast configurations, but my stills managed to capture some really dynamic compositions.

solid meeting you dirts as well!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I swear I saw some glowsticks that we're defying gravity. It was this one section that would toss it in the air, and then they would float down, like it was a glowstick drone lol - seriously my buddy saw em too, never seen glowsticks float back to the ground, anyone?
Was my 5th show and one of my favs by far, my section was jumping in unison to the beats, so much fun, hope we get a new LP announcement soon, love these lads!

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

I was very pleased with how things all played out. Since they weren't mixing between songs, I really appreciated Karl talking about several of them before they started. In particular, I appreciated his comment on the lyrical content of Dirty Epic and how it represented an extremely dark time for him (the "dark stuff"). He then added that Rick took the lyrics and crafted something beautiful from it.

I was initially sad when I realized they weren't going to do dubnobass in full, but as soon as the concert was over, it all made sense. The majority of the people there couldn't care less about Tongue or River Of Bass. To include those songs would have brought down the whole vibe. UW correctly played it upbeat and kept people on their feet :)

On a more personal note, I did get the chance to see Skyscraper, Spoonman, and Dirty Epic (!!!) performed live. Only been waiting around 15 years for that to happen ;)

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

right on re the set.
i've seen the dubno shows and they work to a fan audience but not really to a casual crowd.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Really looking forward to viewing your work! I already saw the soundcheck and fan group pictures on Facebook. That group shot was fun to be a part of. Again, congrats on earning the gig. Jason

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl

Looks like the band have started tickling a handful of images - wish we could should share the whole lot already: https://www.facebook.com/underworldl...52990340312849

It seems that Steve Hall was at the Bowl and happened to be walking by as the group photo was being taken.

That magnetic mag article quickly devolved into a "y'damn kids" rant. Not that I disagree, per se, but at least spend more than half an article about a concert talking about the concert.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Thanks for sharing all the pics & links to reviews. Wish I could've been there; date was just not possible being Father's Day. Too bad as I have plenty of air miles - (can we try Red Rocks again please?). Hope the rumors are true about another bigger tour (& perhaps new material - Olympic games material seems eons ago). I'll admit I'd been a lil' bummed that it was not full "Dubno," but would have been happy no matter what - UW live can not be beat. I still would've caught two songs I've never heard live as of yet ('Spoonman' & 'Scribble.') Was the version of 'Spikee' the full version w/ vocals like the epic encore version from San Fran a few years back? How about 'Rez'? Long/short? Any tweeks w/ that one? One of my all time favs. I still love some of those early rare live recorded versions (esp. The Octagon '94) of 'Rez' & the version they played on the live radio broadcast years ago when Karl said, "I hear the sound of popping cans...in the dark..." :D

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Rez was a long version, nothing too out of the ordinary, but I don't think it was a straight rendition either. Spikee was abbreviated from it's full length, but was a pounding rendition and included vocals and the guitar riff (not live).

While there's always more tracks it'd be awesome to hear, the only glaring omission in my opinion was Dark and Long or Dark Train. It was a phenomenal show.

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

There's another thread with links for all the songs played at the Hollywood Bowl. Most are full or close to full length from various spots of the Bowl.
http://www.borndirty.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18181

Like 'jetpig' said, 'Rez' was a long version. But it had some different parts to it, a bit more drums in the middle to me. It was just Rick on stage... the screens on the sides showcased Rick well working the boards.
I hadn't heard 'Spoonman' in person either, and that was great too.

The show was remarkable. Karl's intro to 'Dirty Epic' was beautiful and touching. From my vantage point, Rick and Karl looked really pleased with lots of interaction on stage. Hope to do it again soon.

-Jason

Re: 2015-06-21 Dubno Live @ The Hollywood Bowl
 

Thanks for the link to the thread w/ all the tracks. 'Rez' still brings the tears of joy when I hear it. Awesome long version.
