North America Hearts UW

[lowbit]

I don't wanna whine, but...5 dates in Germany, 9 dates in the UK, and only.....3 in all of North America?

I love Underworld and (I think) am probably willing to travel 1,000 miles to see them, since it seems that's what will be needed. Several of my friends also know and like UW and several more (who don't know UW) would definitely enjoy their music, and I believe most of them would be willing to drive an hour or two for an UW show, but going 1,000 miles or more for a concert is not in their reality, no matter how much I'd like to share it with them.

I love seeing Underworld live. This is disappointing.


[COLOR="Gray"]Yes, I know that the official word is "more dates to be confirmed", but given the dates posted and the lead times needed when booking and ticketing larger venues, it seems likely we'll see maybe one or two more US dates, or perhaps none. Of course I could be (and certainly hope that I'm) wrong. Having to wait five years for a tour only to have the closest show be 1,000 miles away is a serious drag.[/COLOR]

you are whining. accept it, it's just another "why don't you play in my living room" thread.

I know I'm whining, but I wouldn't consider half of the US and all of Canada and Mexico "my living room".

"My continent" maybe, but that may just be the megalomania acting up again.

Meh dont worry, im travelling to see them for dody reasons but i understand your frustrations.

dude... I'm flying from freaking IOWA to see them in LA

...and I (foolishly) also bought tickets for NYC

fly to europe and quit whining

2 roundtrip tickets from toronto to amsterdam = $1200 CAN.
2 tickets for amsterdam and belgium gig = maybe 200 euro.
beer and hash consumed = $200-300 euro.
not waiting for UW announce a toronto gig, and seeing them back to back nights in different countries...
PRICELESS.

come on...lets make this tour the dirtiest of all dirty meets.

Awesome.

I guess I am the wrong person to ask too, seeing as in 2005 I flew from London to Brussels, hired a car, drove from Brussels to Tilburg, then the next day from Tilburg to Luxemburg (via Belgium for a pick-up on route) then the next day from Luxemburg back to Gent (thankfully not doing most of the driving that day).

So... er... yeah.

who are all you people with money.
give me some.

i'm perfectly willing to scrap my way 400 miles to LA somehow for the hollywood bowl, but that's my limit and i'd spend some months trying to trying to financially recover from that.

so i'm willing, i just really dont want to if i dont have to.
besides, they nearly always drop by SF.

but scott n co will be at the LA one giving out shit.
so many decisions.....

and three dates in the US *is* a jip. it's not "play in my living room" talk. theres 1500 miles stretches between these dates. we could fit several of that island called the UK in between new york and denver, so stuff it.
