Recent Underworld set lists
 

To the Dirts that have seen Underworld recently over the summer, what have their set lists been like, esp. with Darren Price on stage helping with the mixing? Any oldies pulled out of retirement or unexpected surprises? How much new material? Mucho improv? Does "Moaner" still close the night?

Born Slippy NUXX 2003 (+Dark Train lyrics)
New Song -Improv
Push Upstairs
Kenny Penne
You Do Scribble

Moaner does not always close the night, they dont always play Dark Train (tho it was played this summer, in Poland i know at least). There has been a lot of improv a lot of new songs and a lot of setlist juggling. I hope for the 4 Benelux gigs they really juggle the songs around and play different stuff every night!

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Wait a second! What did I miss? Kenny Penne and You Do Scribble? What are those from?

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

stimpee's new-found moderator status insider knowledge...

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Actually, we've known about those tracks for a while now.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

(ACtually, i was attempting depreciative humour at stimpee's expense :rolleyes: )

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

the best kind of humour!

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

is stimpee a mod, i'd never have guesssed that ;)

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

I dunno, you try to provide some useful information to people and you get torn apart. this deserves a roll eyes. :rolleyes:

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

no you keep doing what you do....it is useful :p ...just ignore ian and me ;)

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

im sorry, who are you again?

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Jumbo as the final song, not an ideal choice imho, especially not after Moaner. I'd prefer Jumbo as a point somewhere in the middle of the se, so that you can relax a bit and to prevent you from being numbed by so many pounding songs, so that you appreciate the awesomeness of songs later in the set more.
Don't get me wrong, i love Jumbo, but for me it would be an anticlimax if played at the end. Or maybe it just works like a charm in ways i cannot foresee :) .

Songs i hope to hear at the first 013 gig include;

Moaner, jumbo, dark train, born slippy.nuxx, KOS, Push Upstairs, Rowla, Cups (Cups/Rowla like in the Fuji set would be heaven!) and rez/cowgirl.
And Skym or perhaps Blueski would be very impressive aswell.

Pearl's Girl and Kittens, I could do without.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

You're not a fan! :(
Don't come stand with us at the front!

Nah, just kidding, everybody has they're own taste ofcourse. But PG has always impressive improvs and Kittens... wow.

Jumbo at the end of the HMH gig wasn't going to be the last song if the 'Vibe Police' had not stopped them playing. It was a cool down yes, felt like a build up to a smashing ending. Finally a gig not ending with moaner ;)
Remember Moaner the last time they played the 013? With the Tomato Visuals..

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

you should be careful. words like those will get you banned. those are my two favourite UW tunes. Kittens is on the top of my agenda. If UW play Kittens at any of the 4 Benelux gigs, i will probably have kittens.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Let me expand on my thoughts about PG and Kittens.

Kittens just does not really 'work' for me; I do not like the strings that much and the beats are too chaotic. The 2 combined make Kittens a song i almost always skip...

The situation with PG is less black and white though. The song is very nice, but compared with Cups/Rowla...

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Mmmmmmmhh ok
But this won't win you a '4 gigs in 4 days' Tshirt

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

theres a t-shirt??? :eek:
thats exactly what i love about the song!

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

how could i forget, the lighting was immense, although unfortunately it sent the girl in the seats in front of us into an epleptic fit and as her mates danced either side of her oblivious i had to first brush her cig off her stomach which it was starting to burn her and let her friends know............saw her at the end of the gig and she looked okay if a little pale

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

That would be a brave, rare gig, indeed!

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Really i hope that they play Air towel, Darn & Long, about Air towel they played it only 2 times (Sheffield 1994 - And Roskilde 1996 ), I think that it is a wonderfull track with beautifull lyrics, i never understand why they did't play it, hope they will do this in the future.

Also i think that Jumbo as a closer is not a good choice, tin there is a perfect track with hard beats and nice melody to put it in the end of the show will give something new.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Tin There

Spikee


please...?

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

they didn't play Air Towel at Roskilde in '96 -> they played it at the Quart Festival, Norway of that year though

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

there were 2 reasons behind jumbo being the last song at both amsterdam and budapest. in amsterdam they ran out of time and wanted to play moaner but couldnt. in budapest they came on early and had extra time so for a festival set where it would normally get cut out of the set, they had time for an encore and to play it after moaner.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

It was the last song they played on 12-8-2005 in Zurich

A nice last song would be Moaner, Rez/Cowgirl or Born Slippy (.Nuxx)

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

I never mind Jumbo as a final track. It's a beautiful track to send the crowd home on. For me, it's better than if they played some monster track, like Moaner or Cowgirl. Then I'd be all amped up when the lights came on. I rather like a chill down tune last.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Tin There. :D

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Has Tin There ever been played?

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

They never played tin there, i hope that one day, they will do it, also i think that they must play some old tracks, spikee, dogman, puppies, deep arch...etc are wondefull tracks, i' dont understand why they didn't play them on the last summer's gigs ?? :( , Kitten also

I wish this tracklisting :

1- Juanita or air towel to begin the show
2- dark & long
3- spoonman
4- Rez/cowgirl
5- two months off
6- luetin
7- dirty epic
8- dirty guitar improv
9- born slippy nuxx - 2003 edit
10- please help me improv - king of snake
11- pearls girl
12- tin there to close the show

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Ive seen them open the show with Air Towel. Just the synth cords for a few minutes before the lights even hit the stage. was awesome. (Philly '98 i believe)

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

They've played airtowl several times, memorably at the Quart Festival 1996 (one of their best gigs, IMO).

I always wanted to hear them play Born Slippy Telematic. It would go pretty well with Tin There, I should imagine.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

They never played Air Towel several times, only played it 2 times, for a wonderfull track as Air towel it's shame. :(

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

they only played it 2 times that WE KNOW of. if we had all the bootlegs in existance then maybe we could state for sure. To prepare a song for live playing and only every play it twice would be kinda strange IMO. so for that reason, it my belief they did play it more than twice.

Re: Recent Underworld set lists
 

Yes it's true, many gigs we don't have their tracklisting, for exemple Nimes- France, Inrockuctibles 1998- France
