which used to be one of the main reasons to go see them due to the constantly changing setlists.
if they don't want to push (upstairs) themselves back to being creative, that's fine.
but it's been sad to see them go down this (ring) road.

I had a long response, but it got deleted due to time out from the forum. In essence, if Underworld kept making Dubno records, would you have stayed with them? Change is inevitable. Embrace the fact that two 50-something guys are still touring new material, and not just wallowing in nostalgia. one can argue that things can be different, but that's only better in our minds, not for those that make the decision. I'll say it again: tours are to sell records, not appease fans. That's why the current live show has 5 (of 7!) cuts off the new record, but it still has a bunch of older singles for casual and long-term fans. Listen, if I programmed an UW gig, chances are that few would come twice. I see your point about variation, even a bit of it, but again, it's not 2003 or 1996 or 1993.R and K have got this covered. I've seen them once, but can revisit dozens of gigs when they improved and changed the setlist, and that's fine for me in 2016.
