New York, Central Park reviews, pictures, movies, and more

That was a pretty solid show. You can never be disappointed with Underworld. I really liked the opening with Leutin, and Two Months Off, and a lot of the new stuff that I'm not familiar with. They played most of the standards, which they kind of have to do at this point in their career. It would have been nice to hear some rarer live tracks like Spikee or Jaunita.

The giant penis balloons were kind of annoying, except at the end when they all changed colors. But if you were standing off to the side, the stage entirely disappeared. You could tell they were struggling to set them up.

I thought it ended a little abruptly. They usually close with a more slamming track, and by eliminating Born Slippy, Dark Train, and Rez/Cowgirl, I was expecting to get Moaner. I think they just ran out of time. If you checked your watch, Jumbo ended exactly at 10:00, which I think is when the noise ordinances come in to effect.

Here's to the new album, and hopefully another tour with a Chicago date.
