Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

just got back, what an awesome weekend! i really need to get hold of that 'strumpet' track they played last night and at brixton academy the other week, stupid me for not buying the live cd...

(if you haven't heard that track you really must, it is amazing)

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

Anyone got a setlist and review?

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

I will have to metaphorically beat up a couple of Belgies when they are next online...:)

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

couldn't give you a setlist if i tried but the crowd roared like no underworld gig i've been to for years.it was hot and smokey (no smoking ban or at least enforcement) and i saw a couple of folks get carted out by the medic's (always a good sign ;)).one of them was the oldest guy i've ever seen collapse at a gig,he was at least 50 and was in a "refreshed state" by the look of him.he got propped up outside in the fresh air by the medic's, his girlfriend stroking his sweaty bonce and looking proper poorly.when the intro to "born slippy" started he dragged himself to his feet and they cuddled up at the side of the stage to watch,he even managed a little smile.

"don't let it spoil your evening love....it's your favorite":)

It was a great & exhausting gig in the Red Room. For crowd and band!
So hot and crowded :)
Met up with Pappie an hour before the gig started. We went into the Red room right away, to avoid being locked out!
We hardly got warmed up tho, by some German DJ who basicly switched his bass drum on and off.

This is the set list, which needs some research, primarily regarding Darren's tracks I think:

1. Beautiful Burnout
2. Everybody Jack
3. Lenne Penne
4. something new/improv
5. Pearls Girl, with an intro much like at Ancienne Belgique
6. Rez
7. Cowgirl
8. Moaner
9. Crocodile
10. bit with drums, like the intro to BS Nuxx at Ancienne Belgique
11. TMO
12. Poem by Karl
13. Spikee :D
14. another Darren track i think
15. another track I didn't recognize (:o this is getting embarassing, as I saw them 6 times this year)
16. Strumpet
17. Improv
18. Spoonman :D :D
19. the same as the intro to BS nuxx at the love parade
20. BS Nuxx
21. Encore: Jumbo :D :D

So, quite an intense gig, right? :D
They started a bit later then planned, but played way into the next DJ's time slot.
Not really a greatest hits set either, with spoon man & spikee instead of KoS or Dark train, altho we only got one new track.
I loved every second of it!

Near the end they threw these big white balloons into the audience. Some came dangerously close to Rick's desk, so Darren had to push one over Rick's head, away from the stage, without him really noticing that.
Some people bounced the balloons on the floor, so they'd explode, in order to get some very efficient instant airco effect.

This one guy "standing" next to me was sooo wasted. He told me this was the second time he saw UW.
The first time he was only 18, so now he was happy to experience it "more consciously" :D

I also got asked two times if I had drugs with me, Pappie 4 times, apparently ;)

Thanks, Joris.

You better put some steak on that black eye.... :p

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

heh! i'm older than 50 and i've never collapsed at a gig...........er yet!:D

too many stims for that:o

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

WTF, seriously? Or did you mean Spoonman?

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

Spoon man. Corrected. Sorry ;)
Damn, I quite felt like an Underworld connoisseur, until now...

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

It's okay, I have seen them five times this year and there were some I wasn't sure about either :)

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

I added this one to the Gigography (finally!)

http://uwlive.rowla.com/gigs/view/350

Is there a definative tracklist, i.e. did we find out the names for the 'Improv' bits?

Re: I love Techno, next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?
 

So, Darren posted this live Nicodemus on his Soundcloud:

https://soundcloud.com/dj-darren-pri...gium-jumbo-mix

I thought for sure that we had this specific one already, that it was from one of the Live Here Now albums or something. Turns out, it is, in fact, new.

I thought maybe it was mislabeled, but at the beginning of the song, Karl says "I Love Techno", so it is from "I Love Techno", and it has to be from 2008, because that was the only year that they did this particular Nicodemus/Jumbo mix.

That also means that the setlist in this thread must be wrong (sorry Joris!). You can hear the end of KOS at the beginning of this track (meaning it WAS played), and it transitions to Jumbo at the end, which means Jumbo couldn't have been in the encore at the end of the set.


Edit:

Setlist additions:
Untitled 2008-3 before NUXX.
Can You Feel This Bass before Bird 1
Tokyo < > London 1 for walk-on
Untitled 2008-2 before TMO

I must have inhaled something that night ;)

Re: 2008-11-15 I love Techno, Gent (next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?)
 

I really need to apologize to you, Joris. I started having doubts about that Nicodemus recording, after listening to it closely and realizing that it was played in the 2005-manner and not 2008-ish. I subsequently went on YouTube, and watched about 50 ILT 2008 videos, and confirmed everything in the setlist you wrote, except I couldn't find videos for Lenny Penne and Crocodile. But, importantly, it confirmed the order of NUXX and then Jumbo for the encore. And that KoS wasn't played, so that just confirmed that the Nicodemus recording was not from 2008.


The problem I'm having now is slotting it into the 2005 ILT performance. From the Nicodemus recording (above), it sounds like KoS ends, Nicodemus plays, and then segues into Jumbo. However, in the radio broadcast recording, it goes NUXX, Moaner, and then Jumbo encore. However, it sounds like Jumbo could be spliced in. According to lloyd's review, he says that after the end, they came back on stage, Karl plugged the Riverrun web release (which you can hear on the recording after Moaner), and then they left the stage without playing an encore. So, maybe Jumbo on the radio broadcast is from earlier in the set?

So, I guess the question is (and I realize this was a long time ago), does anyone remember whether Moaner was the last song and they left the stage after Karl plugged the Riverrun release? Does it sound right that they played KoS/Nicodemus/Jumbo earlier in the setlist?

Re: 2008-11-15 I love Techno, Gent (next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?)
 

Ooof. I was at the I Love Techno 2005 gig but I was a bit worse for wear and dont remember that much except dropping my camera and the battery falling out, and Jason Roth having a blast, and being with amazing Dirties.

Darren Price has released a clip that is actually from this gig:

https://soundcloud.com/dj-darren-pri...-i-love-techno

Yard Beat wasn't really played after 2006, that we know of, but this upload now confirms that he worked up a bit of a different version in 2008. I don't remember hearing it on any other recordings though, so it may not have been played much.

Unfortunately, it sounds like this recording has been edited by Darren. We have a recording of the same song portions from a radio broadcast that we can compare it to. At the 2:24 mark on Darren's file, it's supposed to be Karl coming in with Pearl's Girl lyrics, but instead, it cuts back to a section from the beginning of the file and duplicates that again. At 4:08, it leaves the repeated section and jumps to later in the song, but Karl's vocals are severely muted for the rest of the song. Like maybe his vocal track was omitted entirely, and we're only getting incidental sound of his vocals from, say, an audience mic.

I guess Darren did this to highlight his song, or something? It's a shame, because the recording quality is very nice.
