And there are lots and lots of them out there, and they can take you virtually anywhere in the world. If you wanted, one could even take you to where Underworld is playing.

haha too true.
ive seen underworld 8 times, NYC accounting for only 3 of them. and while its a nice idea to pick up and go to EU for a show, its not been feasible for me to do being a new homeowner. i know you have flown to quite a few shows and i think that is awesome! but my comment wasnt about Underworld playing shows, it was about Underworld playing shows in the US. I seriously doubt that myself and 10 of my friends could all jump on a plane to go see a 3 hour show at the cost of $500+ a person. but myself and 10 of my friends would easily jump in a car(s) and drive 8+ hours to see a 3hr show at the cost of $70 a person (the latter of which i have done twice now.)
furthermore, my original comment wasn't an attempt to be sarcastic. it was an attempt to be honest. Underworld interviews revealed that they are putting touring on hold, that an album wont be out until early 2007 so im just assuming a tour would follow that. im now just realizing that i put 2008 in my original post though :P meant 2007. :[
also, the more i think of it, was 2002 really their last NY show? part of me thinks there was a more recent one than that, but i cant remember it.
best memory from all this: standing in the pouring rain at a failed festival and having underworld's vibe cause a positive chain reaction through all that braved the elements.
