Another newcomer to the forum here.

Been following Underworld for a few years now, but somehow never saw them live before last Sunday, and now I kick myself for not making a bigger effort to see them at earlier occasions.

In any case, the show was fantastic, and they performed all my absolute favourites: Juanita, Rez/Cowgirl...

Next time they're even marginally in the vicinity I'll be there again!

Well, a bad review is one thing, somebody could not like it. But this review is just spilling paper/webspace.

Hello!

My account is finally activated so time for my reply!

Great Great show! Not as good as Rock Werchter, but that is because I don't know the new songs that well so you more or less stand still and try to get into them and I have to say that I quite liked the slower ones and especially the opening track! I thought they should have played another encore and I was realy hoping for MoMove or Luetin or something. Thankfully an up tempo version of Jumbo made everything allright and I was delighted by Juanita/Kiteless.

Just to watch Karl dance on stage is such a joy in itself as well. Makes me smile big time! Fuck them OOR reviewers cos they obviously don't know shit! It was very crowded and I couldn't swing my arms around me as much as I wanted to, and normally I hate that when I constantly feel people's elbows against me but it wasn't THAT packed! And if you are all in trance of the music it doesn't matter anyways.

The visuals weren't very interesting though, but I think they were just trying to experiment with this gig a bit and focus more on the music and not aiming to please sad reviewers by playing a greatest hits setlist which they already did at Rock Werchter, so I was personally glad for more experimental and newer stuff. I'm glad they played slower songs like Jumbo, and the one they played before Cowgirl (can't remember if that was the Vision song or not)
One day I hope to hear the full version of Cups or SolaSistim live, cos that would be godlike! I'm sure that when the new album is released, they will be performing more structured and more bombastic or ...<fill in a ''reviewer language'' adjective>... show.

Had a damned good time! Wonderful and friendly atmosphere created by the whole crowd! I am looking forward to the new album and another show!

Also: Stimpee, thanks for complimenting my ''I need sugar'' shirt. Your self-made ''Luetin'' shirt is cooler though!
Also respect for Jason for coming all the way from New York. Thanks for the short chat and nice to meet you both!

yeah, sorry that we didnt have time to talk longer but you did say you were on Dirty. Nice to meet you anyway! I didnt think those Somerset House t-shirts were available online as I got mine when i went to the gigs (yes, both of em

). My Luetin one was based on the t-shirts UW did for the Japanese dates at the end of 2003, only with www.dirty.org on the back instead of the dates in the same style as the Somerset House info. Many thanks to Yannick for the scans of this rare t-shirt!

I was quite surpirsed to find the shirt online as well. It was the only one available online at that time together with the blank shirt for which you have to iron all those words and letters on it yourself. when I ordered it, I didn't even noticed the Somerset House data on the back. Just thought I buy it ASAP for they might run out and so they did I think.

It was an awesome weekend

Met up with Raz and Janie Sunday-afternoon, had a drink in this Irish pub underneath our hotel, with King of Snake!

After that we went by Metro to Jinso!!
Great meeting it was, more and more people kept on joining our table

The gig was fantastic, I had a GREAT time.
The sound was fantastic, but the visuals were a bit lame.
I don't expect Chems-like things, but it could have been a bit better..

It was great to see you all!!!
