CUE sheets for Live Here Now CD's

[TheBang]

I've finished all the CUE's for the second batch of LHN discs now.

Awesome work, TheBang! I've just received a few of the Liveherenow discs, and yeah, the splits are just silly. I mean, why split out the outtro of Moaner (the Amsterdam gig), when for years it's expected that there will be a dropped beat before it all kicks in again with the cowbell and phased bassline? The worst is the inter-disc splits, when a song like TMO is coming in hard, but NO, you must stop and change discs first!

But, to their credit, Liveherenow have given us some A+ quality recordings of the current tour! Nice to compare from night-to-night what the boys are up to. For example, "Jumbo" is quite different from gig to gig...sometimes the "I'm brilliant" vocoded clip is prominent at first, sometimes Karl plays a lot of guitar, sometimes the Moroder-esque bassline is withheld till late, sometimes it comes up early to big cheers.
Nomatter...each night has its surprises. Lovely to hear Spoonman resurrected, new live versions of Little Speaker and Peach Tree, and the shuffling...NUXX and PG early in the sets, etc.

To be fair, I think the tracking is done on-the-fly or very close to real-time, because they have to be able to turn around and start the burning the discs as soon as the show finishes. Will Shapland, the LHN engineer, has been working with Underworld since Everything, Everything, but I'm sure he's not a super-fan that knows exactly where everything begins and ends on the fly, and I don't think he gets any assistance from any UW staff. That said, I'm not sure why they don't go back and re-track for shows sold after the night of the gig.

Yeah, the Koln recording is like that for me. Splitting up You Do Scribble just as it's getting going just kills me, especially when it could've fit easily in its entirety on disc 2.
