yeah i was there too, that GIG was off the chart, that was my fav live version of any UW track...

also New ORDER! with Bez

I'm very jealous although I was at the Temptation 1 gig in Manchester a couple of nights before the Ali Pali gig and that was pretty awesome too! I remember New Order messing up their opening track a couple of times! I wish there was an as good quality recording of the Manchester night as the Ali Pali one!

One thing I can't work out though is that both these gigs were before any of the Beaucoup Fish releases but I seem to remember having already heard King Of Snake and I think Push Upstairs and Bruce Lee somehow (I remember being disappointed as I didn't like BL). I think they might have played previews on the evening session on Radio 1 in late 1998, can anyone else remember this? or am I making it up? Maybe I just thought I'd not heard those ones before so they must be new?

They played those tracks throughout 1998 and 1999 live shows before the release of the album.

Underworld released Kittens pre-album as an MP3 if I remember correctly.

I remember hearing Jumbo live in NYC before BF was released. I called my friend and said "I don't know what its called, but 'sugar water' was on the big screens a lot."

Ramajama is now on Spotify. Like this track! Part of the instrumentals have been heard live many times, but the song is new?

I remember the 1998 Mayan show being promoted as a promo tour for the album upcoming, and that Jed The Fish (KROQ LA DJ) played a promo version of either Jumbo or KoS (can't remember which one it was, as that was almost 20 years ago now). I happened to be listening to the radio at the time, riding my bike for work on the 405, heard the song and that they were playing the Mayan either that evening or the next and quickly made tracks to the nearest Ticketmaster to get tickets. It was an amazing show.
