I have been listening to the Rijksmuseum concert over and over again in the last 3 months and have found that for example Pearls Girl feels much more improvised then usual.
Though, I wonder what they sound like now, since Price has / been left. Even more linear or more free again.
But hey, they are both over 60 and while I am only in my very late 30s, I can easily imagine that it would get really hard to control a good show at that age.
Was talking to a co-worker the other day, he used to be a house DJ "supporter". He was sitting in a side room with a sequencer and a 10 seconds advanced feed, fixing skipping beats as the DJ got more hit with drugs.
So, I have never really done much with Ablethon and I know its is an insanely powerful tool. Also, I am sure that Rick is still playing live, but doing much improv would probably require at least someone like Emerson to return and I worry if they could keep it together.
Underworld and playlists? Yeah, but at least its all live. And they still blast the house apart.

So while I am sad that I will never have a chance to hear them like they sounded in 1996 IRL, I am still glad there is a chance I am gonna see them at all and not in wheelchairs!
