re: the set list. yes, i agree with dubman in that i wish they'd shake it up, esp. at an event like the Oblivion Ball but at the same time, i understand Janie's position too. the band are obligated to do the songs the crowd want to hear. for bands who have been around as long as UW have, there are some standards that you've got to perform for the crowd. however, as shown by the recent Cure tours, a band can perform album tracks, b-sides and fan favorites and still sell out shows and leave the crowd extremely happy.
my resolution for this would be for UW to start doing megamix style medley's of their tunes. who really needs for TMO to come back in after that break in the middle? is there ever a need for both Push Up and King of Snake? if they used their flexibility with Abelton Live a bit more to do seques and megamixes of their biggest hits, that would leave more time for some of the lesser played Fan Favs to get aired.
all in all, i'm 100% grateful that Underworld treat their fans so nicely. no other band that i know of provides the same kind of interaction and suppport for their fans. we get loads of stuff for free and we've got 2 great people driving the good-ship Underworld. Rick and Karl have been fantastic to the fans and their energy and spirit come through in their performances and their generous supply of demos etc on Underworld Live.

Well said. I think it's pretty ridiculous to claim that uw are charging for everything as they're clearly still giving away lots of stuff for free on uwlive, not to mention the broadcasts which are free for all to tune into. So I'm not sure what Testudo is on about. The only liveshows you have to pay for are the ones offered by LiveHereNow, and they are professionally recorded and come with full packaging and artwork. I'm more than happy to pay for stuff like that, and also for new studio tracks/riverrun stuff on uwlive.
