The way I feel about TMO is that it can drag on if you listen to a recording. But when you're actually there it's a totally different story. I mean, I'm not even a huge fan of the album track, but I go mental for it when it's live.

TMO is ace live, they've been messing around with the break down in recent sets to.

Raj, any chance of listing the list of gigs that the stats are drawn on for each year, so we know which ones aren't included and where we need to look for more info or corrections, etc.?

[Vectorman0]

I find it interesting how Spoonman was not played once in 07, but it has been played 6 times so far in 08. I really hope they continue to play it.

Did any other songs get this, or the opposite treatment?

[TheBang]

Well, in late 2007 there were some complaints on this board about how the setlists and selection of songs were becoming rather predictable and were kind of a Greatest Hits type show. In response, Underworld dusted off the archives and rarities and performed them on the Underworld vs. The Misterons radio show (read that thread for more info).

That appears to have a proving ground for the 2008 live shows, as many of the songs performed there made their way into regular rotation, most notably Spoonman and Cherry Pie. To a lesser extent Born Slippy, Peach Tree, Oich Oich, and Little Speaker also began making appearances. They've also pulled out some other rarities too like Confusion the Waitress, Darc, Banstyle, etc.

As you can see from -1's stats, some of the mainstays from 2007 got kicked down to make room for the new songs. Jumbo got kicked out of encore spot for every show. Rez/Cowgirl is played less. Moaner is played less. This isn't reflected in the stats, but if you listen to the recordings, NUXX is being shortened up in 2008, having 3-4 minutes chopped off either the front or the end, to make more time for other songs.

All in all, I think it's been a good adjustment for the 2008 shows. Each show gets at least 2-3 rare songs for the die-hards, and the setlist orders are much less predictable. Casual fans still get to hear NUXX and other hits like Two Months Off.
