Legitimate question! I?ve been surprised to find pockets of gen-z music nerds in Minneapolis, at least, rediscovering CDs like my millennial peers rediscovered tapes in the 2010?s. Knew of at least two labels in Minneapolis releasing only on tapes back then! So who knows?

But yeah, very valid point. I was probably doing just fine by pointing them to the YouTube postings. 😂

...wait... how has no one else mentioned the new ending to "Push Upstairs"??? It was incredible to hear "Tin There" and "STAR" was also a surprise highlight for me.

The venue was awesome - it reminded me of my old "clubbing days" back in the early '00s, and it was pretty easy to navigate. For most of the show, we ended up being a little bit in front of the soundboard - but then moved to the back for the second half

I posted to my insta a few videos -> https://www.instagram.com/stories/hi...1022853799551/

We weren't able to make it to the meet up, as our flight didn't land until 4, so we didn't get to the hotel for another hour. Also... WOW - the city was FULL of Beyonce fans. I haven't seen that many people dressed up as 'cowboys' ever in my life. My wife & I took the train into town, and we ended up being in a car filled with people in tassels & glitter.

Also, the new song was awesome, and the intro kind of reminded me of that 'pling plong' intro to Rez/Cowgirl (from Reading '96).

I'd love to hear a live recording from this tour, if one ever pops up.

Gavin (orbaddict) recorded this show, and it should be available at some point.

Think that may well have been one of my favorite UW shows! Great venue, staff, crowd. Still buzzing.

[fivesixzero]

I can't stop searching for more crowd photos and videos, the gifts that just keep on giving...

So far, this one has to be my favorite, even if its the most chaotic and poorly filmed of the lot. But, wow... It really captured the frenetic energy of NUXX at the end of the show. They were only a few feet behind where I was too, so it was pretty nice seeing familiar faces from the crowd, along with the back of my head while I was losing my mind.



The kicker is at the very end of the video, when the very shirtless guy filming it is wandering out of the crowd, and says "I'm still wearing pants, don't worry about it!". Utterly priceless.

Made a 'playlist' of the stuff I found on Youtube, in case anyone wants to check it all out without having to do the actual searching.

Ha, nice to see myself and my son in there.

You all have said it better than I ever could. That was the best Underworld show I’ve experienced since 1999! I do miss the improvs, but the show was so masterful and well-paced that it shone in an entirely different way. Full-on, nonstop.

Fivesixzero, many thanks to *you* for being my concert buddy - it took me back to my first time seeing UW. Dubnobasswithme, it was great to see you and your wife! Sorry I wasn’t able to meet up with more of you. Next time - and hopefully they won’t wait so long to return, because that was one of the most enthusiastic crowds I’ve seen in a long while.
