The worst is the inter-disc splits, when a song like TMO is coming in hard, but NO, you must stop and change discs first!

To be fair, I think the tracking is done on-the-fly or very close to real-time, because they have to be able to turn around and start the burning the discs as soon as the show finishes. Will Shapland, the LHN engineer, has been working with Underworld since
Everything, Everything, but I'm sure he's not a super-fan that knows exactly where everything begins and ends on the fly, and I don't think he gets any assistance from any UW staff. That said, I'm not sure why they don't go back and re-track for shows sold after the night of the gig.
