Re: Oblivion Ball Tokyo Live Streaming
bravo Dubman. I wholeheartedly agree that as awesome and generous underworld & crew are in brining us all this live goodness, it shouldn't mean that they become excempt of criticism.
While I still immensely enjoy the liveshows, at the same time I find it disheartening to see that parts of it have become quite formulaic. You can pretty much predict 85% of the sets now with reasonable accuracy and with a few exceptions, they don't deviate much from proven concepts anymore (like 2nd half of the set is always gonna go roughly: BS Nuxx, King of Snake, Moaner, encore: Jumbo)

Let's not forget it is Underworld themselves who always keep telling us "we don't use setlists" and "we have no idea what we're gonna play when we go onstage" (come on, really?). They constantly tell us how everything is one big jam and we should expect the unexpected. So when they then proceed to play rather predictable sets I think it's totally valid to point that out.
