2010-10-06 Zepp Osaka
These next few nights will be very telling. Three nights in Osaka back to back to back. I'll be pretty bummed if they all read: "1. Downpipe, 2. ALAF, etc."

Re: Underworld Articles 2010
That's EXACTLY the same as the Kentish Town Forum show with Dirty Epic in place of Pearl's Girl.
I'll be avoiding these bootlegs until after the NYC show, that's for damn sure! |

Crap... same set list (albeit rearranged) as vegas
|
Re: Underworld Articles 2010
I feel sorry for any unsuspecting fan who's bought tickets for all 3 nights.

Re: Underworld Articles 2010
yep. starty/stoppy. exact same set list. methinks this will not go down as the golden age of live UW shows. ;)
makes me even happier that i caught them in Atlanta in 08. |
Re: 2010-10-06 Zepp Osaka
It's only one night in Osaka. Tonight and tomorrow night is Zepp Tokyo. The last one is Ageha which is a smaller, separate venue from Zepp. I am attending that one.
But yes, that set list is correct. Anyone going to the Ageha show??? :) |

yer....the band should try harder for the 4 members of the audience that might have done that. |

Re: 2010-10-06 Zepp Osaka
Found a site with the set lists for the shows here...looks like tonight's encore had Pearl's Girl instead of Dirty Epic. Both good songs though! :D
http://trafficjpn.com/underworld/news.html I thinks big fans of UW can enjoy the show even if the set list was 100% the same. I know I would but I was only able to get tickets to Sunday's show. |

I went to back to back shows in 2 different cities once, and 3 or 4 songs were repeated. Thats it. The rest were completely random. The LiveHereNow shows are all pretty unique without sacrificing heavy hitters or alienating new listeners. Fact is, this new tour of 13 songs contains 6 from the new album, is starty/stoppy, and in the exact same order. Will I enjoy the show? Probably. But I sure as shit won't be surprised nor will it rank up there with the best of them. End of an era? Blip in the road? And to be honest, I'm more concerned with the start/stop nature of the show as the improves and bridges used to be such awesome moments. The subtle clues about what was coming next will be missed. |

guys....there just aren't enough fans around these days that share your views imo (check out facebook and gig reviews for a positive view or for an alternative, the amount of us that get involved on here ! ) i get the feeling that this is an end of the road in someway though, maybe those seated theatre shows are the next development, a "dubnobass/2nd toughest" tour like the primals upcoming "screamadelica" tour or "an intimate evening with smith & hyde" with live painting,poetry and fizzy pop ????? in the meantime,why not stop checking out the setlists and then any show you see you'll still have the surprise you want? ;) |

I would LOVE to have UW bill the first show of a 2-night set as 'only ambient songs' or 'only bsides' or whatever. I'd be in heaven. Now, They Might Be Giants (weird comparisson but go with me) announce the format for each show they are going to do. Living near NYC, ive seen them live dozens of times and not a single show has been the same. Not remotely. They play small venues, play gigs in clusters (like last saturday of each week for the entire month), and do the following: Sat 1: Entire Album X, + some random songs Sat 2: No repeats at all between Sat 2 and Sat 3 Sat 3: No repeats at all between Sat 2 and Sat 3 Sat 4: Two part show, first half just the two founders and a beatbox, second part full band. The point being, they aim smaller, and offer a huge variety. They get multiple attendees because the show is always different. When there arent enough fans, aim smaller and more intimate. Give reasons to get the remaining fans to go more often. I loved that Underworld shows were always different. Its why i started collecting their bootlegs. |

It wouldn't pay the bills.

And I hope UW arent at the point of touring previous albums whole (yet). Its nice but they have so much more to give. I'm still hoping for a change in the setlist for the US/EU shows, even if the new tracks are played in the same order first, and then the boys mix it up for the second half. |

no harm in wishing. as you say its what you think would be a good idea but clearly its not what rick and karl wanna do. they like to travel in style,nice hotels,a full crew and a production and as bigger crowd as possible and why not? they're getting on age-wise,they work loads,they travel all the time,they have to be away from family and friends and have all the usual baggage of life that people in their middle age have.........give 'em a break ! ;) |
