So, it was done on-stage in front of, what, a small crowd or something? I mean, what made it a "dress rehearsal" rather than a regular show? Or was it like a warm-up gig for the Beaucoup Fish tour? And why doesn't anyone know the exact date that it happened? (Sorry for all the questions. I'm curious. )

In theatrical terms it would be what's referred to as a "dry run".

Your right about it being done around the time of "Push Upstairs"

Came across this:
http://dancemusic.about.com/cs/inter...derworld_4.htm

" “Push Upstairs,” that was made by Graham Wood, you know, one of our long-time collaborators at Tomato, who has done most of the videos that Underworld’s put out. And at that point we’d become kind of bankable and programmable by music television, so he had pressure on him to make something that was television-friendly, you know, that had a look, and yet retained some integrity. So we spoke about it and what we wanted to do is we wanted to be filmed playing live in the landscape, you know, so we thought let’s go to Scotland and do it up in the mountains, and we’d take cameras up there and we’d take a mobile recording studio and we’d build a stage up there and we’d do a gig, and that would be part of the show and then we’d use the recordings for something else.And everyone said that’s ridiculous, in Scotland it’s going to be raining, it’s going to be wet, everyone’s going to be sodden, you know, and then this possibility to do the Big Day Out Tour in Australia came up and so we said fantastic, OK, let’s go down there a bit early, we’ll film it in Australia, no problem, the weather’s going to be fantastic, scenery for miles.

Graham Wood went down there, found this spot up in the Blue Mountains, where on the edge on the edge of this cliff, we’d build the stage on the edge of this cliff and we’d play to hundreds of miles of beautiful landscape. Well, we woke up in the morning and it was pouring down with rain, and it was a cloudy day and you couldn’t see more than a few feet in front of your face, and basically it was Scotland with Gum trees. And I have these DV films of Graham Wood in this poncho, stood on the end of this cliff looking out into the abyss, and you know, you can see, do I jump or do I try and pull this one out the bag? And I think he did a fantastic job, needless to say if it had been a sunny day, we would have been fried to a crisp."

The Big Day Out they are talking about was in January 1999, so Blue Monutain is from around that time.

thanks for that quote - I didn't want to say anything was definite, b/c there's always a chance I could've remembered it somewhat incorrectly

but yea - that's where the Blue Mountain gig is from

the "recordings for something else" = Blue Mountain gig, which originally was only available as individual streaming-audio files - so you had to check back after a day or two to see if anything new came up [this was the early UW live page, so when the 365 couches first started]

Speaking of the Blue Mountain gig...

Is track 5 entitled "Cappe Pfuno"? It bears a lot of resemblance to "Please Help Me," from the Push Upstairs EP, but the ending at Blue Mountain is completely different. Should it be called "Please Help Me/Cappe Pfuno"?

I'm confused.
