Despite a great Jnanita start I thought it was pettty uninspired tbh, epecially following Hawtin's epic CLOSE set. I was tired though. And that Iggy voiceover really p*ssed me off

Re: 2018-07-14 Mad Cool Festival - Madrid, Spain
 

This is prob. my least favorite set in recent years. Juanita is a tough one for me since I absolutely love this track but don't really love it as a full-live track.

And the Iggy stuff, well... yeah... eh.

I don't think I like .NUXX as a closer either. I feel like Moaner or Rez/Cowgirl works better for that.

Jumbo should be the closer, tacked on to the existing set. It's criminal it's not being included.

Re: 2018-07-14 Mad Cool Festival - Madrid, Spain
 

yup, or Jumbo for sure. I even like Pearl's Girl as a closer.

What's a band to do when they have 20 songs that fit a live set amazingly, another 10 that do quite well, 1 they HAVE to play, a pool of 5 others they have to play 2 or 3 of, and only time for 8 or 9 songs?

It's not my favorite setlist, it's not a bad one, but it's a festival set that needs to appeal to a festival crowd while touching on recent material.

Re: 2018-07-14 Mad Cool Festival - Madrid, Spain
 

Agreed. A great closer. It's like a big hug!! :)

Re: 2018-07-14 Mad Cool Festival - Madrid, Spain
 

they play a song from the Olympics, that's what! :P

or play two nights in a row with no song overlap? how amazing would that be?

Re: 2018-07-14 Mad Cool Festival - Madrid, Spain
 

I feel it, but a fest would have to pay them more for two nights which may not be in the budget, and they'd have to prep another set, not to mention all the people who may not like underworld (blasphemy!) Who may not have attended the fest as a result.


Not that I dont absolutely want two nights of different songs, or off the cuff mixing, or any number of other cool things,thats just not where they've been for almost a decade now. As festival setlists go and given the material they are working with, it's not a bad set, but there's s always gonna be those things missed. I still have a hard time believing they didnt do dark and long OR dark train at the hollywood bowl on the 20th dubno tour, for that matter, but I have no idea what I would drop from the setlist for it.
