I've seen Underworld SO many times live now that I find it quite easy to listen to a live recording and imagine what that sounds like in a club/theater. But to answer your question a little more closely, I'd say that I like the Nov. 1 show quite a bit more. When I play them at home (loud), tracks like KoS and PG really come across as quite epic. Typically these songs don't 'wow' me anymore since I've heard them so often but during this set they did. I think the flow of Nov1 was better as well.
I really like the Oct31 show too, but it just seems a little more keyed down.
I'm getting quite good at discerning how the mood of a show is going to be from a few key tracks: Cowgirl being a
big factor.
