they ABSOLUTELY played "Skyscraper" in New York at the Hammerstein Ballroom in 2002
I remember b/c I was there too, and I used to have photo's from that night as well (they're somewhere in a box in storage at my parents' house in Iowa) - one of the photographs is when that text came up, projected against that weird "bubble wall" (what looked like gigantic translucent inflatable mattresses)
They opened with it and I remember Rick and Karl even hugging at the beginning of the track
(it was also the first time I saw Underworld)
it might not be listed in the gigography b/c the only recording (at least as far as I know) of that night is incomplete, and it starts part way through Rez/Cowgirl
If memory serves me... they transitioned from Skyscraper to Rez...
that show was also cool b/c they blew out the speakers (or wrecked the soundboard - I forget which) during "Moaner". After the track Karl came back on stage and asked people to be quiet, then yelled (b/c the microphones didn't work) something to the effect "hey sorry, we were going to play a bit longer, but it's physically impossible now"
if you do a LOT of tweaking (b/c the audience recording from that night wasn't so great) - you can make out his speech at the end of the show...
you could've heard "Confusion" in NYC - but it definitely wasn't at either the '02 or '07 shows...
...I feel like I should make my own list as well...
also - you are SOOO lucky that you've heard both "Bruce Lee" and "Banstyle" - I wish I could've seen those!
