2008-11-15 I love Techno, Gent (next Sat. 15/11 - Who's going?)

[Geo]

It was a great & exhausting gig in the Red Room. For crowd and band!
So hot and crowded
Met up with Pappie an hour before the gig started. We went into the Red room right away, to avoid being locked out!
We hardly got warmed up tho, by some German DJ who basicly switched his bass drum on and off.

This is the set list, which needs some research, primarily regarding Darren's tracks I think:

1. Beautiful Burnout
2. Everybody Jack
3. Lenne Penne
4. something new/improv
5. Pearls Girl, with an intro much like at Ancienne Belgique
6. Rez
7. Cowgirl
8. Moaner
9. Crocodile
10. bit with drums, like the intro to BS Nuxx at Ancienne Belgique
11. TMO
12. Poem by Karl
13. Spikee
14. another Darren track i think
15. another track I didn't recognize ( this is getting embarassing, as I saw them 6 times this year)
16. Strumpet
17. Improv
18. Spoonman
19. the same as the intro to BS nuxx at the love parade
20. BS Nuxx
21. Encore: Jumbo

So, quite an intense gig, right?
They started a bit later then planned, but played way into the next DJ's time slot.
Not really a greatest hits set either, with spoon man & spikee instead of KoS or Dark train, altho we only got one new track.
I loved every second of it!

Near the end they threw these big white balloons into the audience. Some came dangerously close to Rick's desk, so Darren had to push one over Rick's head, away from the stage, without him really noticing that.
Some people bounced the balloons on the floor, so they'd explode, in order to get some very efficient instant airco effect.

This one guy "standing" next to me was sooo wasted. He told me this was the second time he saw UW.
The first time he was only 18, so now he was happy to experience it "more consciously"

I also got asked two times if I had drugs with me, Pappie 4 times, apparently
