Ah how I envy you. I still remember that night at the Mayan Theatre, Los Angeles, 1998 like it was yesterday. From that night on, I was hooked.

Be seeing you all in San Diego and then for the Romper Room event the night after at HARD.

That Mayan show was my first UWlive experience as well. I still regret not going out to the organic festival back in '96, stupid college deadline.

The san diego show will be my 7th time seeing them. Also going to HHM the day after and currently working on persuading my buddy to get tickets to the dj shadow show in anaheim monday night. Damn, I'll be covering a lot of ground in SoCal halloween weekend...so worth it though, taking a day off work tuesday to recoup my energy.

wish i had been UW savvy back in 98 for that mayan gig. hearing the energy from that recorded set is absurdly unreal... in fact karl acknowledges the magic in the air towards the end of the set and even reminisced about it during a phone interview we had last year -
"L.A. turned around for this band in the early ’90s when we came back and played the Mayan Theater. That was an extraordinary night for us, which was a very long time ago." - http://thescenestar.typepad.com/ss/2...orld.html#more

on a side note my wife and i are expecting our first child the day of the san diego gig. i'm really hoping for a day or two early delivery or a day late for that matter... but hey, bringing a new little life into the world ain't such a bad gig either

Ah the Mayan gig. My first too. I got there ridiculously early, we're talking daylight, and was lucky enough to be sitting outside (with one other bloke, as I recall), when Darren, Rick and K jumped out of a van midstreet and tried the front doors to get in for soundcheck. They were locked, so they looked bewildered a bit before Darren suggested they head around back and they passed us and Karl gave this wide smile and a quick "Allo!" before they bounded off around the side. Wasn't exactly a meet-and-greet... but for a boy from the suburbs, I will forever love downtown L.A. for moments like that.

I was there too! (Mayan). I remember being blown away, and at one point looking to my right & seeing Perry Farrell a couple ppl away with a shit eating grin on his face in awe like everyone else.

not at all. congrats! when my daughter was born the first song i played for her was Born Slippy. NUXX of course!

[Chris M]

ha, nice! we've actually been playing the "breaking and entering" soundtrack for the last several months... it's the most consistently chill UW material (the wife says it reminds her of mizaki) i found suitable our unborn daughter. though, NUXX could epic when she decides to pop out.

Hey Chris, I know the feeling. My son was due the night UW played at Hollywood Bowl in Sept. '97. Our friends were all over my house painting the baby's room on the afternoon of the show. My wife didn't feel like it was going to happen so she gave me one look and I was on the road from San Diego to the Hollywood Bowl with my buddy. Walked in the doors as Oakenfold was finishing the opening set. By far the best concert of my life. My son was born 24 hours later. Best day of my life. UW is burned into me now. :-)
