A third show in the same venue has just been announced, on March 15!

I got tix for Tuesday :D

Re: 2017-03-13/14 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Got tickets for Monday and Tuesday. I may have a spare for one of the dates. lets see.

Havent bought for Wednesday... yet. But how can i not go when they are playing 200m from my house?

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

We've got tickets for Monday and Tuesday, not sure which we'll actually end up going to, might end up being both.
Someone-who-isn't-me bought the tickets and somehow managed to end up with four for Monday, so if anyone's looking...

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Ok, the dates are getting closer. Next week is the week. 3 Days of Underworld madness in the brand spanking new Tivoli Vredenburg concert venue, just a stones' throw away from my house (and even closer for Stimpee!).

Today it has been confirmed that these shows will follow the new setup as announced for the Alexandra Palace gig, with Rick doing some kind of warmup session which sounds mouth-wateringly interesting:

"Underworld take over TivoliVredenburg for 3 nights from Monday.
Rick Smith kicks things off at 7.15pm performing from the middle of the room, deconstructed and re-conceived tracks from a deep-dive into the Underworld catalogue, alongside new and improvised work written specifically for the show by Rick."

Tijdschema:
19:00 uur deuren open
19:15 uur Rick Smith
20:45 uur Underworld

So you better arrive early!

So which Dirts, apart from Stimpee and me, are going to be attending?
On monday and tuesday I am working from home so will have some time for pre-gig meetup and drinks (there's a pretty nice bar in the Tivoli building).

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Yes! This is good news!

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Confirmed where? Do not see any news on Facebook or underworldlive.com?

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Uhm, it's linked and even quoted in my post. It's from the venue's official facebook event page.

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Reporting for duty on Monday and Tuesday!

Still have one spare for Monday... if it wasn't for this thread getting bumped, I never would have remembered that we had spares!

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland

Really good show. Lot of Beaucoup Fish songs (smart because of their upcoming box set). More tweaking and improvised sounds and was it me or was it more Rick Smith in the spotlight this time?
He seemed to be enjoying it more than Karl??

The warm up from Rick was nice. Mellow stuff / remixes up to a long piano track I do not know before the live show. Loved it!

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Yeah it was pretty good! Rick started playing around 19:20 from the front-of-house booth. At first quite mellow and ambient but near the end of his hour some more upbeat tracks. This was all new/reinterpreted material (heard several bits of Riverrun project in there).
Rick and Karl both seemed to be having a great time during the main show. I guess I was still hoping for more improv/mixing in the liveset, but alas, all the songs were start-stop and mostly album versions (of course there were some variations, Cowgirl has some Rez at the end, and they played the Minneapolis/Ring Road mashup). Also, the screen was again only barely used. Just the tracktitles in white text, some very grainy footage from camera's on Rick and Karl and some basic graphics during King of Snake and Jumbo. A lot of the time the screen was dark.
But great to hear Skyscraper, Kittens and a full version of Cups :) Sound was great and banging (though during Cups the bass was so loud it seemed to drown out most of the other sound), Karl's singing was spot-on and crowd was into it.

As a little treat, here's the last track from Rick's set

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Sounds goood!
Thanks for sharing KoS :)

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

KoS: Do you have the rest of the set??

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

I do, but as per the rules I will not be posting it here (I'm already bending the rules by posting that track, but I think in this day and age with Youtube and everything it should be ok).
Anyway it will probably go up on RTSR soon.

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

ricks set? :) :) :) thanks for the preview lovely stuff

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

quite a few thanks. :)

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Nice to see it mixed up again a bit, but as a fan... that was just the exact album-version of Cups. :/

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Once upon a time the full version of cups was dream for the live set, but now it's a let down, heh.

Main show looks to be the same set list according to darktrain.jp Instagram posts, but Rick's set included a Chinese vocal mix of ALAF. I was also hoping the main set would get at least a lil bit of the improv treatment, but ah well, still look like massive shows.

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Quick report from yesterday's gig:
Rick's set was definitely different from the first night. Most notably he played Downpipe (not ALAF) (without Karl's vocal but with a vocal sample of someone counting in Chinese). Very cool!
The gig itself was largely the same set list as the first night, although instead of Dark Train we got a full Rez later on in the set. I felt there was overall a bit more little things that made it feel more live, some little "mistakes", some more drawn out sections. Karl was very energetic and enthusiastic this time, talking and singing nonsense in between the tracks and firing up the crowd. Rick was mouthing all the words when Karl was singing, throwing up his arms and generally jumping around behind his console, as well as of course singing backing vocals on tracks like I Exhale and If Ra.
I had a blast :)

And yes, Cups is basically the full album version (a bit shortened) but Rick mixes in a 4/4 kick during the 2nd part instead of just the breakbeats.

Was any merchandise etc. sold at the venue?

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Black shirts with a black abstract print, there were also 'surreal carnival' shirts in black with a white print or white with a black print. Here's the surreal carnival one: http://imgur.com/VedlVsG

Nice, thanks for the pic. Besides the shirts, were there any other promotional materials or banners or anything advertising the 3 nights at Tivoli as Surreal Carnival or Surreal Carnival Experiment?

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Nothing that I noticed...

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Another little treat: Downpipe as played by Rick on wednesday

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

King of Snake, any idea when Rick's set might pop up on RTSR? Dying to hear it.

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Thanks mate!

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Yeah not sure yet. I've been rather busy since the gigs, but I think I can do the basic editing on the remaining recordings this weekend. So if not this weekend, then some time within the next two weeks I'd say.

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

Thanks for this (and that), King of Snake!

Well, there was a time ten years, fifteen years back, that we'd get new live tracks via UWLive. In this era of fairly static setlists, anything different is appreciated.
Glad you got to experience these gigs.

Re: 2017-03-13/14/15 TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Holland
 

All three gigs will be on RTSR soon. Including the Rick warm up sets...
