Underworld count....
how many times have you gusy sen the boys live?? (and rte the form best to worst)....

1. Coachella 1999: nest show of my life (Bruce lee into moaner)

2. Le Bateclan, Paris 2002: one of the few 2002 shows where they mixed songs ogather and improvised like the good ol days

3. Electraglide Tokyo 2005: One of the first shows with Darren Price....sick 3 hour set

4. Coachella 2003: I was in the very front row os a 15,000 person tent!

5. Bizarre festival, Germany 2000: One of their first shows back immediatly after Darren Emerson had just left the band....Karl played the bass guitar for Dirty Epic!!!

6. Chicago 2002: the show was really nothing special...the technical difficulties were honestly the most creative thy were for the entire show....although they did play the originl dark and long so they got points or that....

was anyone else at any of these shows?? gree? disagree???

discuss!

Re: Underworld count....
2 times... Hamburg and Berlin 2008. Both shows were awesome, especially since the setlists were so different.
Berlin was very special though, we got brilliant versions of Juanita, Darc, Banstyle and Confusion the Waitress. I'm very sad that there are no recordings of those two gigs.

Re: Underworld count....
Im sure this got asked years ago and it was one of the first times when we got direct answers to thinks from R&K as a message on UWlive said "I've seen Underworld the most times".

My other favourite UW gig would be the year before on the Friday night of the Phoenix festival in the dance tent - something like a 3 hr set and it was fantastic. They also then played the main stage on the Sunday afternoon in the drizzle and that was the only time we left the dance tent during the whole festival...

Re: Underworld count....
3x Hammerstein, NYC
1x Central Park, NYC
1x Field Day Festival, NJ
1x All Points West Festival, NJ
1x Electric Factory, Philly
2x Boston
1x Washington DC
1x Atlanta
0x Roundhouse, London

Of that, my two faves are Atlanta 2008 and Philly 1998(?). Least favorite was probably at All Points West simply because it was still bright and sunny when UW went on. Not exactly the best environment to watch them play.

Re: Underworld count....
Creamfields uk 2002
Brixton Academy Nov 2002
Global Gathering uk 2005
Knebworth 2007
London Roundhouse Oct 2007 (x2)
London Roundhouse Feb 2008 (x2)
Brixton Academy Nov 2008

Brixton 2002 was a generously long set, with an excellent "Twist" - Karl freestyling on the guitar; creamfields obviously special cos first time - I recall mouthing the lyrics to Born Slippy to the random guy next to me, who was doing the same (the first time I connected with a fellow u/w fan!); Knebworth - a bit muddy but a gr8 night and the first time I met up with you very fine fellow dirts; Roundhouse in Feb stands out - the fabulous warm-up music by a North/West African musician(?) (does anyone know who?), Yoav the support, who simply blew me away, and finally u/w who hyped the crowd on the 2nd night during Born Slippy to such a degree that I felt as if I was a vampire on a million drugs!!

shit, you were at Phoenix as well! that was an awesome gig though I did drop some pretty serious acid for the sunday afternoon set and totally lost myself in the music. I think they were the main support ahead of The Orb in the dance tent. I still get confused over whether it was 94 or 95...

Re: Underworld count....
Seen them only twice myself...

2007 in Tri-pod in Dublin - The place used to be called the Red Box because it was made out of red brick and heated up like and absolute furnace, and it still does. Amazing sound now that they have done it up.. came out of that gig as if i had just come out of a shower....absolutely lost my mind when they finished the main set with moaner and needed the encore of Jumbo just to bring things to a new euphoric level..never forget it. My first time seeing to them after years of listening...now i cant stop!

2008 at Electric Picnic - Now i know what everyone will say about festival sets, and granted it was a little shorter than i would have liked but i cannot express the absolute, unrestricted and pure love that was created in that tent. Right at the height of the festival on the Saturday night - they were perfect beyond belief and the crowd lost their minds in the music from the second it started... the whole festival seemed to mirror the performance and vice versa...ive been to three Electric Picnics and the buzz keeps getting better, hope they are there next year!

My vid of the end of EP performance... quite good quality

I had a ticket to the Belfast show of 2007 but they cancelled it...i hope they return soon!

Edit: Perhaps as an extra question maybe we could describe our first UW gigs and how it was to seeing them now?
