Operation: Underworld Live

[holden]

Today, listened to a few shows from 1995:

Oh, i love those 20 minute improved jams and extended tracks! The 1996 shows are amazing (see the famed "European Club Gig", to be revisted soon), but they have a much more standard set of tracks. in '95 you can get Oich Oich alongside Spikee and the UW remix of the Chemical Brothers' "Leave Home"!

for me, 1995 was them at their solid best live - do a set, have a dj break, come back and do some more - smashing

Ugh, that Leave Home remix breaks me with how incredible it is. Intense.

Get Lowlands '95 into you: it's a solid hour of hardcore jamming and improv, with gems like Born Slippy mixed up with Confusion the Waitress lyrics, Spikee/Leave Home, and a really stirring performance of Mmm Skyscraper.

Yup. listened to Lowlands 1995, and now am entering a stack of discs labeled 1996...from the first few relistens and from memory/checking the upcoming tracklists, this ithe year that Underworld built confidence - lesss improvs joining unknown tracks, more building and exploring a finite setlist:

You're getting me all goosebumpy, guys. Gotta get home to listen to all those lovely jams from the olden days. Ah well, at least I got Bootleg Babies and the Dark & Long single on my mp3 player for the train ride home...

@ holden: Thanks for the impetus and nostalgia that your project evoke.

Have to post on the blog still, but i'm listening to a thick stack of 1996 shows. More of a fixed setlist, but amazing, long jamming versions.
"Airtowel" at the Quartz festival is mmmmmm!

Posting/listening to more soon.

Rez @ Readin 96 is epic.

Is that the Rez/Cowgirl mashup on Bootleg Babies? Because that was fucking glorious.

Mmm, Air Towel... reminds me, I gotta find a bootleg somewhere with that on it!

Each time I listen to this monster, I develop massive goosebumps and a fat grin when it kicks back in at around 12'. Pure bliss.
