TMBG has had some of the best live shows - now here's a band with over 10 albums, each of which has between 13-21 songs, and they're still able to put on a rad show. They play most of their big songs, stuff from the new album, and the concert staples, but every show I've seen (or heard) from them has three or four tracks that are relative obscurities. Plus they do some special shows where they only perform material they wrote in the 90's, or where they do one of their earlier albums cover to cover. Underworld could really benefit from something like this, I think - I'm not saying they shouldn't do KoS or Moaner (although to be honest I'm getting pretty tired of those songs being in every show - surely many bands have songs like this, but they're not 10 minutes long apiece!) but the shows should have one, two, three or so tracks that are more obscure..."Banstyle", "Spoonman", "Bigmouth", "Food a Ready", "Luetin", or whatever (I'm sure you guys can come up with lots more). I do agree that it's a little lame coming from a band who prided themselves on not using setlists to play the same shows over and over again.
I realize that it's free and all, but then again, I complained about the Radiohead album being only available in 160 kbps, so be it.
