I really enjoyed this as much as I always do when a gig is streamed. I know that some people say they were disappointed with the setlist, but the fact is we have been spoiled rotten by the band lately.
Also, for those of us who were lucky enough to see their 3 hour shows in 2005, there is clearly not as much room for them to play the more obscure or experimental stuff in just 2 hours. The vast majority of people who go to an UW gig are nowhere near as geeky as us lot. They don't know every tune, every b-side, every improve and every version like we do. They pay their money to see the Underworld they know and hear the tunes they know, and discover the new stuff from the album.
Plus the LiveHereNow CDs have meant that there has been no need to ferret around the internet trying to find a half-decent boot of the gig with minimal crowd noise and requiring vast amounts of processing before it is vaguely listenable.
So yeah. Great show guys. I loved it.
And y'all need to stop whining and appreciate it for what it is - a really nice gift from a great band to its fans.
