Check underworldlive today. Karl addresses the exact thing you're talking about!

It's very hard for me to believe that some view the AHDO concerts as a low point for Underworld, when they were some of the best concerts I've ever attended.

As uwlive indicates, they're not stupid. They know that they want to get their shows back to the MKII era, it's just that no one wants to see the labor pains, everyone wants to only see the baby without respecting where that baby came from. Give them some time and patience, there's already a marked improvement from the AHDO leg of tours, and I'm sure that it will continue to get better and better.

P.S. - Hey Karl... I really hope that you don't feel like you have to defend yourself, your shit's locked tight, always has been, always will be.

Amsterdam 2005 was my first UW gig and it was awesome. Finally got to hear PG live with the new "fucking mental ending(TM)" and although I missed a few of my favourite tracks, all of the new stuff more than made up for it. Thanks to the guys for playing it all - I know they were nervous a few months back but the whole of HMH was bouncing up and down so I hope that encourages them

Slightly OT, it's a shame most of the dirts missed the meeting with Karl but we'll wait slightly longer next time, Mister bounce around geezer

I made this post before reading today's UWlive.com post so its kinda apt that it pops up now. The only thing I want to add is that I really really enjoyed the AHDO tour and that the final two Somerset House gigs were very special and i'll never forget them, but I do welcome a return back to the more improv-style gigs that I remember from Sheffield in 1994, Phoenix Festival in 1995 and the legendary Que Club in 1996 gigs where I witnessed not just some of the best UW gigs i've ever been to but some of the best gigs by any band i've ever seen. I guess this is why I'm still here years later typing these words.

now playing: Tin There

ok - somewhat related / somewhat not...

so that improv after PG in the Exit Fest broadcast, it has bits of two other tracks in it:
Barrel of a Gun (UW Hard Mix [easier to tell on the instrumental]) and the beats from "Bungalow with Stairs 001"

...and who thinks that the AHDO Tour was that bad????

Good ears, joethelion! i don't have the recording handy, so i'll just ask...is this before or during the "Vision, C'mon" part? i was really hoping that that was a new song...looks like it might just be an improv with snippets of former UW tunes.
