it doesnt even need to be a chilled out set... it would just need to be an alternate set to the usual setlist. Hell, I've seen shows where Dirty Guitar was right smack in the middle of the climax of the show. Clearly they have plenty of material for a 'Day 2' scenario. BUT, are the ticket sales/demand there for that? Is that something they do from LemonWorld? Its is feasible to get 3000 people to pay for back to back shows knowing they will be different? Its it feasible to think that UW can pull off practicing/sequencing/playing 25+ tracks?

I just keep thinking back to Philly at the Electric Factory in 1998 (I think) where they opened with Air Towel and Born Slippy Original was the ridiculously hot climax of the show. I love those tracks live; album versions almost don't do them justice once you've seem them performed.

yeah, i was there for that to...good times, good times, fellow dancer...

well, the times they are a-changing....what can you do...
although apparently they were in peak form a few years ago..(2003)..

basically they are at the point they were during the post-beaucoup
fish years, and the post-adho point..they went through the same
thing then, as they are going through now...

you never know when they will surprise you though....keep listening.
i know i still am...

hell yea I'm still listening.

Well the Electraglide show of 2005 was amazing but I guess that falls in the 'sameness' in terms of setlists. But yea, things change and I'm just gonna change with em. I still have my BS Orig. memories. When I heard that live I almost lost it. It was the most energetic thing I had ever heard live.

They have too many good songs for their own good, damnit!

[m.g.]

I have to say that one of the most energetic thing I had ever heard live was... Kittens @ the Roundhouse, this 18th November... and I've seen them quite a fair amount of times (including Den Atelier, Cocoon & the "other" 3h+ gigs in Vilnius, Riga & Tallin...)

In a recent interview Karl mentioned a show that would focus on their more ambient stuff with Nina Nastasia.

Croc/Jack You Body/Small Conker And Twix/Scribble was amazingly good at London 1 and i constantly play that segment back for how quickly the vibe changed in ten minutes there.

Soon as Small Conker came in i knew it was gonna be fucking mental.

Amen to that. I'd love to see them at a rather limited show, playing in front a smaller crowd, where they would do tracks they wouldn't usually play at a live event.
In fact one of my wildest dreams is Underworld releasing an "unplugged" album that would feature acoustic versions of some of their "tender" tunes and than backing that release with a few shows.

i thought about the very same thing about a year ago...Underworld, Unplugged.
that woud be a treat.
i try not to be too bummed about Oct 19.
