Underworld... live?

[philth]

I'm lucky enough to work at a lot of festivals and club shows so it's rare that I get a day off when there's a big gig in town. One of those rare days coincided with Underworld playing at Forbidden Fruit in Dublin a few weeks ago.

For all the criticism of the scripted show, I still had the time of my life with a handful of friends jumping around in a field to the music that's soundtracked my life played nice and loud on a sunny summer evening.

Sometimes you just need to let go of the past and live in the present.

I feel all of us who long for the 'good old days' of improv and transition are missing out on enjoying the present. I was that soldier too for a long time but that last gig really changed my mind. Yeah, I'd love a gig where the music was twisted and warped and transitioned and adlibed and all the rest, and yeah I'd *really* love the 5 screen Tomato art jam live visuals to come back, but maybe they will, maybe they won't. The past is gone, the future is coming.

I can't wait to see what they do next.
