Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

Taking a cue from the Red Rocks thread, cuz it's never to early to start planning (and stop lurking).

Who's going? What's the plan for a Dirty Meet? What's the liklihood of trading my crap bench seats (plus cash) for a proper seat up front?:D

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I'm about to buy tickets and was gonna start sending the PM dispatches to respective dirts and see where everyone was situated.

So where is everyone situated and where is everyone meeting pre and post gig?

Mr. Warner?

Rick and Karl and Pricey going to meet any dirts too?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

my girlfriend and i will be there. we'll be driving to la from sacramento that day and will hopefully be able to participate in some sort of dirty meet before hand :)

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

There's a park right next to the bowl where people often hang out before the shows. I know my friends and I will be meeting up there before the show.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

well - I am absolutely going

...and my father & step-mom may be tagging along as well. If you remember, I took them with me to the Ultra gig a few years back. When he heard that I was going to go to Cali for an UW show, he flipped out... not that I was spending the $$$ - but that he wanted to go too!:D

he actually even bought tickets from a broker... I guess the seats are down in the garden boxes (or something like that - my originals were the cheapies)


but yea - I'm definitely up for a dirty meet

I'll probably need the extra people, as I'm also going to California to see my ex... and I could really see it going either way - seriously

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

i will be there. i may have one box seat available (4th row, center).. i'll keep you dirts posted.

would definitely love a meetup, though!

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

thinking about it, but i have no way of getting there and no plans for where to say after the gig... if i could afford it it'd be barely... so... =\

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I'll be there. I succombed to buying a KCRW series ticket so I could get one early through Ticketbastard. I have a seat in the "superseats", or seating directly behind the terrace boxes. I'd LOVE to get one closer, so if anyone is looking to loosen their tight grasp on an extra ticket closer up, let me know please!

It turns out that the Bowl is the most convenient venue for me to get to since there is a shuttle that runs before and after that is right near my place.

Looking forward to meeting some of the people on the boards!

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

My friend got us 4 box seats for $250. I'm still holding on to my other tickets just in case though. I'm just excited to be moving closer to the stage! woot woot!

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

My ticket is for section G2, which is kinda far back from the looks of it.:(

I'm sorry I haven't been paying attention, is there any one major meeting taking place anywhere?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I might have two garden/box sets available...

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

So yeah, any official meeting place yet? Are we just wearing dirty shirts and looking for each other in the park?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

i'm down for whatever.

wasn't scott talking about organizing something involving underworld schwag or something like that?

regardless where we end up meeting, i am really excited for this one :D

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I know I'll be in the park next door (not the one across the street). My friends and I usually sit in the elevated area that has a couple of park benches. But a lot of that depends on how early we get there to take over the area.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

i really don't know the area but really would like to meet up with all of you! is there some sort of central meeting point we could agree on for this show?

we'll be leaving from sacramento at 11am and will be aming to get to the bowl sometime around 5:30pm or so...

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

yea - is there a meeting place?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

the problem with the bowl is that it's choked full of people at the entrance and then once you get in everyone is separated into their seats.
the only decent landmarks i can think of to meet at in the venue is either at the merch table (where i assume most of us will be stopping anyway) or at the little virgin megastore hut they have set up.

merch table at 6:30(ish)? i'll be the guy with a beard in a white baseball tee with red sleaves.
or if someone has any convenient ideas for pre-show food/drinks i'm totally down.

also, joethelion your PM inbox is full so i'll call you today. i still want those tix!

/woot:D

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

oh hey - I just deleted some of my messages...

merch table sounds good...

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

havn't been able to visit the forum in ages! talk about timing...
Hope everyone has a ticket and a plan.
As soon as I lock the doors to the video game vault (5:30), I'm hoofing it up Highland to the Bowl.
Looking forward to seeing the best fans in the world.:D

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

hello underfans.

i'm actually going to the show with my girl after picking up some section F1 tickets last night last-minute style.

i don't think we'll make it to the 630 merch table meetup, but is anything else planned? i had thought there'd be big celebratory things lined up but it doesn't seem like there's that much love in LA...

rock'n.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I've never tried bringing a camera into the Bowl, but has anyone had any experience with trouble for bringing in non-point and shoot cameras (slr)? Or has anyone at least attempted taking one in?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I'll be wearing a black Boards of Canada shirt. See you there!

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

HE Y GUYS I HEARD THEY CANCELLED THE SHOW AND MOVED IT TO BAKERSFIELD

see you there!

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I'd still go :p

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

they are VERY lax on security at the Bowl...and if you've got a place to stash it nearby if you get turned away, i say go for it.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

mini-dirtymeet with joethelion (thank you SO much again for the tix!) and viddy. sorry if anyone else showed up at the merch table after we'd left.

struggled through paul jokenfold (who at one point played a loud noise what felt like i was being drilled in the ear). after all the warnings from the sf crowd i brought my ds to keep me occupied. best part was my friend jason asking "is she the DJ" when he took the stage:)

funniest thing seen: a sign at one of the cafes that said "Underworld inspired flatbread pizzas". how bbq chicken is underworld inspired i'm not quite sure.

the boys took the stage and i was a little worried because everyone in the garden boxes where we were was sitting down. also this section was filled with mostly older folks who looked as if they'd never heard uw before...after awhile it didn't matter. by the time the inflatables went up at the start of tmo nearly everyone was standing...the boys got the stuck up rich folks to get up and dance, too!


setlist:
leutin
improv(?)
crocodile
improv(?)
(the best f*cking version of) juatnita (i've ever heard)
beautiful burnout (AMAZING!)
new track/improv/might be glam bucket??? (whatever it was there was lots of guitar and was also allcaps AMAZING)
improv(?)
cowgirl
rez
improv(?)
two months off
improv(?really fast clicky thing)
mo move (with a wicked wicked drum breakdown in the middle)
small conker and a twix (i think)
nuxx
king of snake
encore: jumbo

if anyone has corrections for the above, please chime in!

after hearing about the lackluster ticket sales for red rocks, i was a bit worried we'd have a similar situation at the bowl...fortunately it was PACKED and made for a nice moment, turning around and seeing the entire place going apeshit for nuxx.

karl was more hyped than i've ever seen him and was even dancing and running when no music was playing. it looked like he would have kept going for hours if not for the strict end time at the bowl.

i was a bit bummed by the lack of more tomato visuals, but they incorporated the built-in lighting at the bowl very nicely...and of course the inflatables were very fun.

this was my 4th show and if it's not the best, it's definitely a solid number 2 (after chicago 98).
THANK YOU UNDERWORLD!!!

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

AMAZING!

I took my camera in, and security allowed it, but when I took a couple of pictures before underworld came on some publicist came up to me and asked who I was shooting for. I said that I was shooting for myself as a fan, and the she said I couldn't do that. I said that I would put it away and headed back to my seat. She chased me up the stairs and said I couldn't even have it with me. I laughed at her, and she said I had to talk to some other guy. This guy told me I had to check my camera, and I said no. He said I wasn't allowed to keep it, and I told him that security checked my bag and let it through. Then he said the funniest thing to me, "well they don't really know the rules here." Security doesn't know the rules. That's good stuff.

Ok on to the real stuff. The show was utterly amazing, but I can see why people haven't been enjoying Oakenfold. He has no energy in his show. He kinda just stands there, turns away from the table and sits back. He occasionally points to the crowd, and then looks at his records again. Carmen Rizzo was awesome though. But I think the real reason there is such a difference in the shows is that Underworld adds energy as a band, but they do it by becoming part of the crowd as well. They are playful (as we've all seen before), and they never take a moment to breathe. I swear I've never smiled so much from watching a show, and I've seen hundreds of bands. Truly a magnificent show.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

no moaner? :P

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I kept waiting for it :(

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

Anyone else wish there was a pit to get crazy in?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

You mean you didn't like the guy standing in front with glowsticks trying to put on his own show?

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

and there was that whole pile of glowstick-spinning folks on the right about 1/4 of the way back.
i wanted to find and hurt those twits with the laser pointers, though. just rude.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I laughed at the spinning glowsticks to the right because it's like someone passed them out to one section and that's it.

And yeah the laser pointers were lame. I thought people got over playing with those in the mid-90's.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

thats how i felt about darktrain in san fran

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

i never said i'd...oh:p

seriously though, hearing the bit of small conker i got REALLY amped up for you do scribble (my current fav track), only to have nuxx come on instead. not that i minded much.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

I had a great time. The new stuff was a lot of fun and I don't think I've ever seen Karl have so much fun onstage. Still the best entertainer in the biz ;)

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

Funny - A post from Cured in Aliso Viejo. I just moved to AV and just returned from the show at the H Bowl as well.

I was so relieved when they kept playing after Born Slippy - King of Snake was as good as it gets. I wish they would have hit about 5 more songs, but oh what a night!

Lesson learned: We craiglisted tix at the back of the bowl but danced and wandered all the way down to row F boxes. I assume a lot of us did;) Those aisles between every level were a party. Dance, smile and breathe Underworld and the H bowl can be your oyster. I can not believe they were as solid as they've ever been.

I was lucky to see Darren's last show at Coachella in 99 and this ranked right up there. The sound was perfect, the crowd was above stellar. I was worried that people weren't dancing for Oakie, but now that we lives in LA, I guess the urgency wasn't there?:) But the scene, sound and utter beauty of Undrworld was unbelievable. Imagining following these guys to Colorado and Central Park. Central freaking PARK. That's going to be classic as well...

Please link videos and pix to this site, If you have them.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

They played everything, everything in the middle of that well prepared set list. Cloising the night with Slippey, king of snakes and jumbo. It doesn't get any better than that:):);)

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

Err, "Everything, Everything" was the name of their live CD/DVD. You're thinking of Cowgirl.

Re: Underworld @ Hollywood Bowl
 

amazing show - best of the three so far, in my opinion.

setlist wise - this had the best flow.. built up beautifully until cowgirl/rez - and then it was on from then on out..

energy wise - i've never seen RICK with so much energy! did you see him completely lose it towards the end of glam bucket? i love it!

i've got a ton of video and pics.. should be up by morning.. now i seriously need some rest!

bring on denvah!
