Re: 6 Music Fest 2/13/2016
 

Should be. They've been streaming everything from Colston Hall so far.

UW take the stage in 3.5 hours.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Yes they are... you can listen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b070jm2y

Not sure if there is a live video broadcast but they have generally had video of the performances to watch afterwards... probably very edited with some tracks removed.


UW go on stage at 2145 GMT

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

The stream is live now:

I Exhale is the first track live.

Video will be posted here by tomorrow morning:

Polyrhythms, a la Glam Bucket

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

The new tunes are so different I'm half expecting any classics to be performed differently too.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Started with I Exhale and If Rah (The Luna Luna Luna song from the sampler/teaser youtube video they posted... I am basing this on a LastFM tweet from bbcradio6 music account saying it was that..)

Now onto Dark Train

1. I Exhale (Sounded great)
2. If Rah (Think the intro sounded great... Karl still settling into how to sing it live I think)
3. Dark Train
4. .....

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Sounds like a good bit more improv on the older songs... which is refreshing since they have been playing a stiff setlist of some form for a while now (since Barking)

Would love them to return to the loose 2007/08/09 vibe that they had for the OWB tour

...this is going off one version of Dark Train... and Pearl's Girl

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

For a sneak peak of If Rah a video: https://twitter.com/BBC6Music/status/698628777803276288

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

If Rah's the Luna Luna Luna song mixed (rather flawlessly I do say) with the "Yeah" and "Can You Hear Me" teasers on Youtube.

Dark Train and Pearl's Girl arrangements are very very tight and rehearsed sounding - this is not a complaint, they're very very good, like an unexpectedly well nailed performance ala their Everything, Everything picks vs their long improvized renditions. But with good new stuff thrown in here and there.

So far zero transitions.

TMO on next.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Yea no transitions at all... I guess though they are sort of playing a one off live radio session so I don't expect it to flow hugely.

They are on to Two Months Off now and like the other classics it sounds like they have been adding a few extra samples here and there. The sound is fantastic on the stream.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Yeah I can't believe how good this stream sounds. That Pearl's Girl bassline tore it up. I think they did something different to it.

I think they're going for (relatively) more of a songier "proper band" approach with the new record, hense the lack of transitions.

Aaaaand we lost them!!

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

:(

I guess this is to be expected. They have had a full set or two on the website for 24 hours after the show itself so I hope they will have at least 6/7 songs available on the website soon.

Gideon Coe will be returning for the end of the set "later on" .... i'm going to guess that is 45 mins from now.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

That's kind of how they've been playing for quite a few years now, and I wouldn't expect that to change.

I really like If Rah a lot.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

That is how they have been playing since Barking tour... it happened quite deliberately and I remember them commenting on how they were trying it out because they had never done it before..

Personally find it less interesting as I quite enjoy listening to all the variations in their many live shows where recordings exist... but for the Barking tour it was pointless listening to them all... nothing unique between the shows.

Hopefully they bring a little more improv back.. especially since the technology they are now using makes it so much easier to work on the fly with so many different samples... it is so easy now that just playing the same set over and over is a piece of piss..

I want to hear them try so hard they fuck it up... I want to hear them fuck it up and try harder.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

While I share the sentiment, I don't expect that to happen.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

They are back on now with Rez/Cowgirl

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

And back after (too much) Suede to Cowgirl. Sounds similar to the EE arrangement.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Yea real classic EE drop at the end of it... nice low frequencies though and this is a bit slower.

Now King of Snake

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

That "oh shit KOS is about to play" moment just happened.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Lol! Yea.

Sounds again like they are playing around with it a little bit in the intro... who knows though. Sounds solid. Realllllly overdue seeing them live again.

Looking forward to the Dublin gig in June :)

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Here's part 1 of the gig:

http://www.borndirty.org/wp-content/...02/6music1.m4a

It'll be done proper for RTSR later, but this is for those who want it now and like it raw.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Have yet to actually see them live thanks to age and geography. Now deeply considering going halfway across the continent for Fox Theater...

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Thanks dude

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Born Slippy in 5...4....3....2....1

Hopefully they do something cool with it ;)

But again... it sounds fucking awesome on this stream. I remember the first live streamed underworld gigs... loooooow bitrate.... no low frequencies ;)

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Mm. Nice fx on the vocals.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

"Would you have this dance with me? Oh yeah!"

:D

Sound quality is awesome, and loving the variation here.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Is AAC 128 kbps the only source we have to this set?

Sounds gorgeous though!

6 music festival
 

Ahh (soft gasp) that couldn't have gone any better :D they should have just played the two new tracks, that's all that was needed for me :D I love them forever and can now at last excuse Between Stars (still can't listen to it though!) Till March 18th.............

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

It's the only one you have right now.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

I don't hear any UW in those 2 clips.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

You probably didn't fast-forward to the right part then.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

The full 92 minute concert is now available on the BBC iPlayer (only viewable in the UK):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03hhyq4

Hopefully, it will be available in HD too shortly.

Re: 6 music festival
 

Heard a bit on the radio but they cut off at the breakdown of 2 months off to cross over to some gig, which was very annoying.

I think the gig highlights will be on the red button tonight.

Thx Yan :D

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Anyone else actually at the gig? Performance was great from what I could hear of it, but the sound quality in the hall was really, really bad. Any kick drum type bass was just totally distorted and drowned out anything else. Maybe for a festival stage they didn't have a proper soundcheck.

Highlights for me were If Rah, Pearl's Girl and Cowgirl. Sounded to me like the tempo of many numbers had been increased, possibly to fit in more material. Anyone confirm?

Looking forward to listening to the recording.

Re: 2016-02-13 6 Music Festival
 

Thanks for sharing, Yan! Can't wait for the full HD :)
