All nice and well, but next time keep those half-naked, sweaty, rubbing, viking friends of yours at HMH Amsterdam in check.

Also, please do .

Pushing your way through the crowd, not giving fuck or respecting other people, is no atmosphere.

The whole place was dancing. Only the drugged three fucks in the front thought they were at a mosh pit. And as far as I could see, the vibe of rest of the place was not influenced by the atmosphere created by drugfucks in the front. A lot of angry faces from people who were trying to have a good time without being pushed around, yeah...

Most fun I ever had was when one of those nuts decided to crowdsurf, and I threw him face first down the front stage. Double win, since crowdsurfers were gladly escorted outside, without reentering.

Back to the gig: the playlist is boring if you have heard it multiple times, but Downpipe-ALAF-NuTrain-Scribble is a great opener. Bird 1 is the start of what I'd call "the break", with Diamond Jigsaw having the same vibe. And the place goes mental with Cowgirl-Rez, KoS and Nuxx. Dirty Epic is then a bit mellower to end with the Moaner bang.

But if you then listen their older live work... So much better, because it is much more fluent and not just "tracks from an album" but whatever Rick cooked up in his studio. I still miss nuxx at Glasto in 1998-1999ish, where the buildup was phenomenal and new for a track that has been played to death.

Getting some crowdsurfer's boots in my neck is not what I consider a great atmosphere at a concert.

But, alas, this was a long time ago, not at an Underworld gig, and not in Brixton. It was even after my pressure that we ended up seeing Underworld there after I had seen Orbital last year in Brixton and enjoyed it.

I'm ok when it comes to push and shove with my 6'1", but please think about the people who are not as tall and big. I'm also pretty sure that you're not one of the idiots who was ruining it for others in Brixton. Like I said: in the front you only had a few asses who were pushing and shoving because they wanted to be noticed by Karl. Normally these people leave after a song or two because they are tired, spilled their drinks or lost their biscuits, but for the rest of us it means we couldn't enjoy the song as much as mr. disco biscuit did.
