Re: Global Gathering- What Happened ?
I was there with you at GG ryanryan. What a shame it was. I had flown all the way from Australia, and extended my trip two weeks to fit in Global Gathering.

Apart from the 100 quid train ride I endured, the 6 quid burgers, and 3 quid bottles of water, horrible rules in regards to alchohol (oh and the 4quid beers inside the venu) and camping, long lines, drug searches etc.... I was still happy beacuse Underworld where playing.

I go to a lot of live music, and I love underworld. SO naturally I was listening to the sound and I just ended up getting distracted by how bad it was! I'd seen Underworld in Amsterdam the prevoius week (and that was awesome), so I knew what to expext, I was looking forward to UW a second time... But like you described... 10 rows from the front the sound was absolutly shit.

During King of Snake, I moved back a fair bit, and at that distance it sounded better but still horrible, the bass wasn't as loud back there so you could near that there where mid frequencies somewhere.

I can tell you now... that will be the last Godskitchen show I ever go to... God knows how much money it endedup costing me.

(Tiesto sounded much much better the 2nd night.... and I love him too, but honestly it just made me more annoyed about UWs music.)
