8 Ball
Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on here for some time now & I have a question that I hope some of you may be able to answer. Has '8 ball' ever been played live & if not is there a reason?

Any help form what appears to be the friendliest forum going would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: 8 Ball
I don't think it has been (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The reason? Dunno. Some songs just don't work out very well when you try to translate them to a live environment. 8 Ball may be one of those.

In the 2005-02-10 Dirtyradio Session, Underworld had the following to say:

Quote:
Question (oxide10101): I wanna hear 8 Ball live.
Answer (Rick): We've thought about that as well. Mmm, could well be.

Re: 8 Ball
sadly no
Although I guess it would not really fit into the energy of a live show. And Karl would have trouble playing those guitar parts live. (although I guess they could just play parts from the computer)

Re: 8 Ball
It wouldn't work. Some songs are just better suited for your cd/mp3 player.

Re: 8 Ball
I think it could work in an abbreviated form -- maybe opening a show or being the first of two encore tracks.

Re: 8 Ball
i dunno, a song like Jumbo is pretty lush, and it works great live!

Also, when 8-Ball kicks in right after KoS on ther Anthology, it's like a beautiful comedown...feel like it could work as an encore or similarly placed in concert.

Re: 8 Ball
I think it could work. They play downtempo stuff as openers and such all the time. Look at darc. There's not much "pep" in a song like that, and it really kind of makes you melt in your seat, but they've played that. I'd love to hear a live version of 8-Ball.

Re: 8 Ball
I think it be easy to sneak in a few lyrics over another song or a bit of the instrumental part inbetween songs.

Re: 8 Ball
