[Chris M]

a small breath of hope - a close source recently mentioned that contracts are being negotiated with an additional event/promoter for the same weekend. keep those fingers crossed!

NEW DATE ADDED FOR SAN DIEGO -

[darktrain]

Hot shit! If this is confirmed, then HARD can suck it.

THANK XENU!

Hot shit! If this is confirmed, then HARD can suck it.



hahahaha :)

[Chris M]

yep, i'm definitely holding my breath that this date sticks. it's not uncommon for ticketmaster to prematurely post dates, but as i mentioned before a pretty reliable PR source close to my music webzine told us this past weekend.

[SappysCurry]

Ticketmaster has it up now. Tickets not on sale yet. Great news since I didn't really feel like trekking it up to SF or Vegas again.

[cured]

Yeah, I'm gonna be there, too. Tix on sale next Friday.

[pianopisser]

going to this + the LA show the following day! thanks UW for coming back to cali!

[Champiness]

Shouldn't this be moved to the "moments" thread?

[ultradave]

:D Excellent! :D

[cured]

There was a presale for it already so I imagine it is sticking.

[stimpee]

Shouldn't this be moved to the "moments" thread?Once its confirmed, then it'll get merged or renamed to the usual moments forum title (YYYY-MM-DD Venue, City, Country). I see its already been moved.

[jumbotron]

Fantastic - thx for the tip! See you guys there.

[bas_I_am]

looks like they delisted the gig from ticketmaster

[TheBang]

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

[klingklang]

I hope it gets put back. I was so happy to see another Cali date because I can't go to the Hard show. And SD is even further for me, but I was willing to go the additional 120+ miles. I hope it's just a case of Ticketmaster jumping the gun again and putting dates up before the band allowed it.

Yeah, I think the same thing happened last year. . was that the Oakland show?

[Vancouver]

Hope it comes back up too. Would be nice for a little west coast tour. Up to San Fran, Seattle, Vancouver. I can dream, right?

[Chris M]

thanks as always, ticketmaster for the cock tease:)
you bring frustration in!

[Professor]

well, seeing as how I got airline tix for this one while prices were good.... I'm hoping they play. Thank goodness for refundable tickets.

You can't just tell us that (especially in such large, bold letters) and not offer up some kind of explanation if you are privy to such information.

[klingklang]

No, don't torment us! I was actually getting less depressed about missing the Hard show because of this.

[ndrwrld]

i'm guessing Ticketbastard just jumped the gun, as they did for the last Toronto show.
i'll bet official tickets will go back on sale.

[jose m]

i bet they will.

Well...

Ticketmaster has an official announcement...

"This event has been cancelled"

[ultradave]

Well...

Ticketmaster has an official announcement...

"This event has been cancelled"

Yeah. Saw that. Sucks!

[Chris M]

it appears the original concert promoter wanting to bring UW to 4th & B was not able to follow through on the contract for whatever reason. there was also a los angeles radio station interested in having UW headline their halloween event, but that possibility seems silent at the moment. on a side note goldenvoice is usually the promoter that handles the 4th & B traffic so there is always hope that something could surface from their end.

[klingklang]

Poo. I am bummed.

[klingklang]

there was also a los angeles radio station interested in having UW headline their halloween event, but that possibility seems silent at the moment.
Is it a San Francisco station you mean? Because I saw where they're listed for Live 105's Halloween thingy at the Cow Palace.

[Chris M]

the live 105 SF event just sprung up last week. the LA station had been negotiating right about the time HARD made their announcement.

seems like UW are purposely choosing festival type events for this round of touring - maybe shorter sets are the call at the moment in order to prep for solo headlining gigs next year?

[Professor]

are they playing or not? that is the question.... would go to SF and SD shows.... get me someone who knows something. :)

[klingklang]

Ah, so there was a Los Angeles station trying to get them? Do you know which one?

I was disappointed to see that the Bay Area show is also a festival, but I guess it's cheaper for them to come over here when a larger entity can pay for it. It's too bad Underworld can't hop on the Massive Attack/Thievery Corporation US tour. That could be like a mini-festival.

[pianopisser]

Still Hoping for addition California dates... Meanwhile, ticketmaster.com has listed a NY show:

Already booked a hotel 2 blocks from the venue. I know a bunch of people who will be going to this. Bring it!

[darktrain]

Already booked a hotel 2 blocks from the venue.
Will be doing the same, probably staying Fri/Sat night.
I've only been to SD for Comic Con a few years ago, so not too familiar with the area. Anyone have tips on where to stay/eat/avoid?

[cured]

There is a Halloween parade going through the gaslamp district that night so if you're thinking of going, now would be the time to start looking at hotels as they are getting snapped up as we speak.

[pianopisser]

Thanks for the tip! I got to start planning this out since I'm not doing the SF/LA thing anymore. Anyone else doing SD --> LA?

[klingklang]

I am so happy...unbelievably happy that this show is happening. I honestly thought they were going to take Saturday off.

And the gaslamp district is pretty safe to walk around post-show, right? I haven't been to that area in 2 years, but I seem to recall it was rather lively even during the week.

And thanks for the info on the parade, cured.

[ultradave]

Argh!!! I just got Interpol tickets for Vegas the weekend prior!!!

oh... what to do... what to do... :rolleyes:

[darktrain]

Thanks for the tip! I got to start planning this out since I'm not doing the SF/LA thing anymore. Anyone else doing SD --> LA?

I am doing SD so that I don't have to do LA, even though I live there.
Hotel booked. Could just drive down, but gonna make a weekend of it.
Psyched!

[Chris M]

if your budget allows for it, i'd try to score a room near the marina ( marriot, hilton, or hyatt) which basically is below market street and puts you within close proximity of the downtown points of interest. the walk to 4th and B would be a little under 15min. there are also cheaper hotels near there like the double tree or motel 6, but there is not much to see or do in those areas.

wow, sounds like we're gonna have a enough dirts to justify a proper meet! maybe just maybe we might get yan too?

i'll be photographing the gig, but am totally down to shoot the shit at some point:)

[ultradave]

If you're planning on spending the weekend out there, might I suggest going over to Coronado Island.

[klingklang]

I just went looking for hotels and is there anything within walking distance of this venue that is under $100 besides the Motel 6 and the hostels? I went ahead and got the Motel 6 just so I wouldn't be homeless, but I was hoping there'd be something a little closer. I know downtown SD has always been expensive, but I have to Amtrak it, so I'm on a limited budget.

[darktrain]

If you're planning on spending the weekend out there, might I suggest going over to Coronado Island.

Yeah, stayed over there before. Wonderful, but the budget doesn't allow it this time.
I got the Courtyard Marriot a few miles away, as they were just over $100 per night.

[dAb]

Howdy. Just wondering if anybody knows the AEG ticket presale password for Thursday morning?

Also, SO happy that they added these dates. I was dreading going to HARD Fest.

Thanks!

[SappysCurry]

Hotel booked...with late check-out to boot!

[Troy McClure]

I'm still searching for the AEG presale password, and will gladly post here when I find it.

Jason

[jumbotron]

Password? Thx if anyone has it

[cured]

AEGLIVE

you are welcome

[jumbotron]

Thx - you rock! Where did you find that?

[cured]

A friend of mine on another board. I just scooped up 2 GA tix, have a hotel already booked, so I'm set. See you guys there :D

[jumbotron]

Cool - thx again.

Just curious, what hotel(s) do you recommend?

[cured]

I don't have any real recommendations...I'm not all that familiar with downtown San Diego. I got a place at the Westgate two blocks away for $250 for the night. A friend of mine got a place at the Westin Gaslamp for a few bucks less and that's about 4 blocks away or so.

[jumbotron]

OK - cool - thx.

[ultradave]

i''m taking the wife so i had to opt for the box seats. i'll be in Box 1 Row 1 Seat 1. :D

[darktrain]

AEGLIVE

you are welcome

Thanks, cured!
See y'all there.

[pianopisser]

Thank you Cured for the PW! I scored a box seat as well (box 1 row 1 seats 5,6) so I'll guess I'll be near Ultradave. The thing I'm not clear on is why the invoice has 'GEN ADM BOX SEAT' stated, never been to 4th and b so I hope it isn't all GA up top as well?

[ultradave]

Yeah, I'm unsure about this as well. I was looking all over for info on it, but never could find anything... guess I'll just have to wait and see. Regardless, I am excited about this show. :D

[pianopisser]

When I get the chance, I'll contact them to see what the deal is with the GA situation...

VERY stoked about this gig as well!!

[cured]

I don't think people with box seats will have to worry much. I don't think 4th and B is such a massive venue or that the clientele will represent much of a problem. Most of us will probably get there early for drinks beforehand anyway.

[ultradave]

Most of us will probably get there early for drinks beforehand anyway.

you may want to throw down a few prior to entrance... i've read from several sources that the drinks are pricey... :mad:

[cured]

Oh, don't worry about that. I'm gonna go through a bottle of something at the hotel before I leave. I'll be stumbling all the way to the venue.

[pianopisser]

So I emailed 4th and B and their response was:
From what I understand AEG has set this up with the box seats as a separate ticket but the price is the same as a standing ticket on the floor. If you purchased a box ticket It gives you a seat in the box there are 8 total seats per box but the seats are first come first serve. I hope this makes sence I know it is confusing.

Here is this best image I found for the venue that gives some perspective on how big this place is (or shall i say TINY!!!). Gonna be a great show, hope we gets some rare treats from the boys...

Thanks for the info. Hoping for Dirty Epic or Banstyle... I'm really excited about the size of this place! :D

[klingklang]

Thanks to cured for the password and thanks to pianopisser for the info and pic (I spent forever on Google trying to find a pic of that venue's interior and that's the only one I found as well...it looks like it's taken from the other elevated area inside--the one that isn't VIP box).

Outside of the Eurythmics Revival tour, has Underworld ever played SD before?

[quincabal]

I was told that it was AEG's call to make tickets in the box seat the same price as GA floor. Supposedly you can sit anywhere in the box your seats are in and you can go downstairs as you please.

Got a box seats figuring that we should be able to get at least a couple rounds of those spendy drinks delivered instead of pushing up to the bar.

It'll be my first time seeing Underworld live so I'm pretty happy just to go. Really looking forward to it.

[etchradio]

So stoked that they are coming here. 20 minutes from my house! Saw them in Vegas. Crazy. Every time I see them I bring someone new. Once again, I have another newbee victim jumping in with me for this show. Thanks CURED for setting us up! See you guys out there!

[Troy McClure]

Thanks for the password this morning 'cured'...The venue posted the password on their Facebook page this morning. I bought 2 tickets. I'll coming over from Phoenix and my brother is flying down from Portland, OR. The venue looks looks like it's not a whole lot bigger than when I saw Underworld in Las Vegas in 1999.

this is going to be a great experience being that the venue is small. i will be there to enjoy the occasion!

[pianopisser]

Just checked ticketmaster and all the Box seats are sold out now. GA floor is still available...

[saintrik]

Decided to splurge and head to San Diego for the 4th and B show... Small club, real fans, and an absence of raver kids made the decision pretty easy.

[Jon Paul]

Hotwire has a handful of motel options at the $40 level (Mission Valley), which is insane. Considering all I'll need is a bed after the show, it's worth the distance from the venue. Going by myself...like most UW shows. Drinkes wise, may have to flask it, since I'm staunchly against paying venue prices. Then again, why can't we all just go sober?

...Kidding. Totally kidding. :cool:

[lament]

So excited this show's back on. Just got my tickets. First Underworld show (been a fan since 1996 tho)..

[SappysCurry]

Ah how I envy you. I still remember that night at the Mayan Theatre, Los Angeles, 1998 like it was yesterday. From that night on, I was hooked.

Be seeing you all in San Diego and then for the Romper Room event the night after at HARD.

[pianopisser]

I still remember that night at the Mayan Theatre, Los Angeles, 1998 like it was yesterday. From that night on, I was hooked.

That Mayan show was my first UWlive experience as well. I still regret not going out to the organic festival back in '96, stupid college deadline.

The san diego show will be my 7th time seeing them. Also going to HHM the day after and currently working on persuading my buddy to get tickets to the dj shadow show in anaheim monday night. Damn, I'll be covering a lot of ground in SoCal halloween weekend...so worth it though, taking a day off work tuesday to recoup my energy.

[Chris M]

wish i had been UW savvy back in 98 for that mayan gig. hearing the energy from that recorded set is absurdly unreal... in fact karl acknowledges the magic in the air towards the end of the set and even reminisced about it during a phone interview we had last year -
"L.A. turned around for this band in the early ’90s when we came back and played the Mayan Theater (http://www.clubmayan.com/). That was an extraordinary night for us, which was a very long time ago." - http://thescenestar.typepad.com/ss/2009/08/interview-karl-hyde-of-underworld.html#more

on a side note my wife and i are expecting our first child the day of the san diego gig. i'm really hoping for a day or two early delivery or a day late for that matter... but hey, bringing a new little life into the world ain't such a bad gig either;)

[Jon Paul]

Ah the Mayan gig. My first too. I got there ridiculously early, we're talking daylight, and was lucky enough to be sitting outside (with one other bloke, as I recall), when Darren, Rick and K jumped out of a van midstreet and tried the front doors to get in for soundcheck. They were locked, so they looked bewildered a bit before Darren suggested they head around back and they passed us and Karl gave this wide smile and a quick "Allo!" before they bounded off around the side. Wasn't exactly a meet-and-greet... but for a boy from the suburbs, I will forever love downtown L.A. for moments like that.

[jumbotron]

I was there too! (Mayan). I remember being blown away, and at one point looking to my right & seeing Perry Farrell a couple ppl away with a shit eating grin on his face in awe like everyone else. ;)

[ultradave]

...bringing a new little life into the world ain't such a bad gig either;)

not at all. congrats! when my daughter was born the first song i played for her was Born Slippy. NUXX of course! :D

[Chris M]

ha, nice! we've actually been playing the "breaking and entering" soundtrack for the last several months... it's the most consistently chill UW material (the wife says it reminds her of mizaki) i found suitable our unborn daughter. though, NUXX could epic when she decides to pop out.

[klingklang]

Conrats to you Chris and your lady for the upcoming arrival (hope she'll grow up to be a UW fan).

I too saw the Mayan show (weird how there's so many of us on this thread with that shared experience!). That was sort of my first show too...I saw them once before that, but it was the Mk1 era. I miss the Mayan. They don't seem to have as many shows anymore, but I guess they're doing better as a latino nightclub.

[Troy McClure]

My tickets for the San Diego show arrived in the mail today. See you all in exactly 5 weeks.

The 4th and B site is now listing the gig as "SCREAMS & DREAMS HALLOWEEN BALL FEAT. UNDERWORLD" :rolleyes:

I'm thinking either of these for a pre-gig meetup?

http://downtownjohnnybrowns.com/
or
http://www.stoutsd.com/

Both are walking distance from the venue and seem decent enough.

Thoughts?

[Jon Paul]

What are we doing...where will my Dirts be at? Might I recommend Hamilton's Tavern? Great beers...good people... we'll go well before the show. Who's down?

Hey Chris, I know the feeling. My son was due the night UW played at Hollywood Bowl in Sept. '97. Our friends were all over my house painting the baby's room on the afternoon of the show. My wife didn't feel like it was going to happen so she gave me one look and I was on the road from San Diego to the Hollywood Bowl with my buddy. Walked in the doors as Oakenfold was finishing the opening set. By far the best concert of my life. My son was born 24 hours later. Best day of my life. UW is burned into me now. :-)

[etchradio]

BTW, is this a costume party? It's called the Halloween Ball. And a friend of mine said they heard that the event is going on until 4am. Are there DJ's going on after the UW set? Just sounds a bit strange. Not sure I want to dance my face off with a costume on.

[Troy McClure]

The 4th and B website is down for updating, but their Facebook and Twitter postings state that a group called 'Blaqk Audio' is opening for them.

This is a 21+ show right? I thought I read that when I purchased my tix. The last thing I need is a bunch of fools galavanting around in costumes while I'm trying to get into the show... :mad:

Since this wasn't themed prior, I opted to get tix for the San Diego show instead of the Los Angeles show...

Regardless, uw will play an awesome set, so I'm looking forward to it. :cool:

[pianopisser]

The last thing I need is a bunch of fools galavanting around in costumes while I'm trying to get into the show... :mad:

Well I'm sharing box 1 with you so rest assure that my GF and myself will be in normal attire for the show...

Bummed to hear the news about Blaqk Audio opening up the show, I hope they don't bring too much of the AFI crowd into this setting...

I can't believe this gig is only a week and half away from happening!?! I've got four shows lined up ahead of this one, CAN'T WAIT !!

[Jon Paul]

Hamilton's has a great selection, but yes, it's not a walk.

Johnny Brown's and Stout Public are very close, and both seem like fun. I have next to no knowledge of downtown/Gaslamp, so wherever the locals decree is a good meet-up, I'm down.

I'm going to need to do some extra cardio for some extra dancing.

8 days people.

I'm confused now. So what was to be an Underworld concert in a small venue and has now been "upgraded" to a costume party+rave?

(3 hours would make up for that of course)

"Those craving a more hospitable experience, Bottle Service is available, call 599-MY-RESET to book."

[darktrain]

OK I just talked to Bryan from Reset Events. The venue hasn't changed, but the exact set times are still being worked out. The website should be updated fully by Monday.
There are VIP sky boxes available w/bottle service & food at $450 if you already have a ticket. Would be cool to have a dirty box, but that's too $ for me:o

Time to find a costume I guess...

[pianopisser]

Thanks Darktrain for the leg work on this. I just emailed a rep from 4th and B as to what is happening because someone from another forum is stating that L.E.D. & AEG are still the promoters for the UW show and that Reset is only promoting the 'afterhour party" at fourth and B. The set times (according to this person) is:

8:00-9:30pm Bareback DJs
9:30-10:30pm Deth Hertz
10:30pm-11:45pm Underworld

I can't believe all this drama that has happen before this show has even taken place. I guess I'm just glad to be checking out UW at all this year, though a 3 hr set would be pretty EPIC!

[darktrain]

Ugh, now their set is too f'n short?!
Emotional rollercoaster!

[SappysCurry]

So now it's 75 mins? What was supposed to be a club gig set in a small venue has now turned into a festival gig set?? I hope this isn't the case.

[klingklang]

Thanks to everyone for sharing all this information. This whole thing is turning weird. It seems like a lot of us opted for this show because UW originally were listed as the only band.

[pianopisser]

still waiting for a response from the rep @ 4th and B...

this FB event page is the one that is throwing me off as to who the real promoter for the show (vs. www.screamsanddreams.com):
www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=165059870187915&index=1

In either case, I made the decision last night to keep my Hard Haunted Mansion ticket to catch UW twice this time around (hopefully HARD doesn't fuck things up like last year)...

[SappysCurry]

Thanks to everyone for sharing all this information. This whole thing is turning weird. It seems like a lot of us opted for this show because UW originally were listed as the only band.

I always figured there would be an opening act and then the boys. But this is getting out of hand. A bunch of nobody DJ's squeezed into an evening that many of us had expected to be a proper night of music without the HARD bullshit.

On the other hand, are UW so beholden to their pre-determined setlist that they're going to do the same show at every event, no matter how big or small and this rave-lineup nonsense is just a by-product of that approach to this tour?

I'm going to be one pretty un-happy bollock if the SD show turns out to be just like HARD LA. I mean, I'm not the biggest Felix da Housecat fan, but THAT show sounds like the best of the US tour dates.

[darktrain]

The guy I talked to said (and I'm paraphrasing here) that AEG did the booking but ticket sales were sluggish, so Reset was hired to aid in promotion, beef up the lighting/soundsystem and make it more like a Halloween party.
Reset wanted Underworld to go on later but AEG doesn't like their artists ending after midnight, so the times he mentioned as possibilities were 8-11, 9-12, and 10-1.

With the whole event going from 7-4, I suspect that the AEG-booked acts have a 4-hour window to fill, with the Reset-booked acts filling out the night.

Why would Underworld would be crammed into such a short time slot, though? Perhaps they're contractually bound to be done by a certain time? 10-11:45 would be a bit more reasonable, IMHO.

I too opted for SD after last year's HARD debacle, and while the 21+ certainly helps, I'm still a bit bummed at how this is seemingly turning out...though if they go on at all it'll be better than last time.
(trying to get all my complaining out of my system now and enjoy myself on the night:))

Make it 10-12. We get two hours and they're off by midnight. Done.

And what's with AEG having an issue about whether their artists play after midnight?

[klingklang]

Exactly. Yeah, I thought there'd be at least one opener. I just kind of meant that UW were the headliner in the sense that they're a real headliner (as opposed to headlining HARD/Live 105's festivals). I'd read some odd things about the 4th & B regarding their booking of multiple opening acts in order to get people to drink more to fill the time, but having never been there, I wouldn't know.

Make it 10-12. We get two hours and they're off by midnight. Done.

And what's with AEG having an issue about whether their artists play after midnight?
10-12 would make me so happy. A 75 minute set is almost not worth the effort (well, to me...the 18 hour roundtrip to SD is not appealing to me right now).

Maybe AEG has contracts with the unions or something (like in Los Angeles).

[pianopisser]

so the rep (Judy) from 4th and B got back to me, here's what I'd asked and her response,

me:
Hi again Judy,

I have some new questions about the Underworld show @ 4th and B. There are conflicting info on the internet as to the set times for the show. The other day, a website (promoted by Reset and AEG), www.screamsanddreams.com, shows that they are promoting the event and claims that Underworld is confirmed to play at 10pm thru 1am (3 hours). I thought that L.E.D. + AEG was the promoter for the event?, see this link: www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=165059870187915&index=1

Someone on a music forum claims that the true set-times are (and that Reset is only promoting the after hour event at 4th and B):
ACTUAL SET TIMES:
8:00-9:30pm Bareback DJs
9:30-10:30pm Deth Hertz
10:30pm-11:45pm Underworld

And then from 12am-4am is Reset's "event" aka afterhours.

I'm trying to clarify because many people are now under the assumption that Underworld will be playing a 3 hour set which would be very AWESOME but doesn't sound likely.

Please clarify and I will post on different forums what the facts are

Judy:
I believe that underworld will go on 10:00 to 10:30 and I believe their set will end around 1:00am I am going to try to confirm this and will get back to you as soon as I find out. We have also had a change in the Vip seating arrangement. We have that entire section reserved for bottle service. Luckily you got your tickets before this went into effect. Just wanted to let you know for any one else that you might run into. I will get back to you on the other stuff

The VIP seating was mentioned because my previous questions to her were about the Box seating at 4th and B which I scored tickets to the day this event went on-sale. This is starting to sound very promising again, I'll take a 10:30-12:30 UW time slot... Perhaps everything gets finalized tomorrow?

[klingklang]

Thank you very much for sharing that correspondence, pianopisser. It does indeed sound very promising (I would love it if we could at least get a 2 hour show).

[Troy McClure]

Thanks very much for the quality and precise follow up for all of us. Safe travels for everyone going. I'm making a vacation out of it, so I'll be driving there Wednesday.


Jason

[jumbotron]

The 10/10:30 to 1a slot must stand!!! We have it in writing...

Well, at least this is better news - thx for the info.

[Chris M]

the wife and i are on our way out to the hospital for the delivery of our daughter. can someone please add me to the dirty meet list? a few close mates from LA will also be joining my group.

looking forward to seeing you all this saturday!

Thx for this. I too landed the VIP seats the day of the sale. This is some positive news amidst all this other insanity. I will be in utter bliss if they play a 2hr slot. :):(:mad::o:D:rolleyes::cool::eek:

[Rabbitwork]

just wanted to post that dani (psychic friend) over on the coachella forum posted the following earlier today, she's a GV employee so just factor that in (as to the accuracy of this info):

These are what i got from the promoter

doors 8pm
Blaqk Audio 9:00-9:35
Underworld 10:15 - 11:45 so.....who knows whats going on. but 90 minutes for UW seems 99% likely; 35 mins for blaqk audio is odd though unless it was a typo.

i'm another HARD summer '09 refugee and despite being a fan of the boys since the late 90s, this will be my first time to see them. i really hope they (and me) aren't swallowed by a silly 1-day festival setting. whole reason i didn't buy my tix to HARD haunted mansion right away.

[ProfAmaretto]

Wow, that sounds absolutely lame. It'd be nice if the two promoters were on the same page.

[Rise Pig Rise]

(Forgive my little introduction here that I wanted to make in case R&K should be reading at some point…)

I am so extraordinarily grateful that UW has opted for this gig in my hometown and current city of residence. Thank you so very much, Richard Smith and Karl Hyde. God bless ya both. I’ve seen you two play live perhaps five times, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of you coming to San Diego. Thank you so much, again.

Hello all. I’m having a bit of a weird evening, but that’s not a tangent I want to take, this being my first post in many years. Don’t know if there’s still anyone around who was here back in 2002, but that was the last time I posted with any regularity. I think my forum name might have been “Lifedownstairs” back then, but I’m not sure. I most often chatted with King Of Snake, Yannick, and other cool people I can’t remember.

Anyway! I live in San Diego and I’m going to the show Saturday night (of course), and I’m *also* a refugee from the aborted Forum show last year. (Oh how I wish I would have simply paid for the plane ticket to Oakland to see UW at the Fox!)

I’d like to know exactly what the hell’s going on at 4th&B, more specifically I’d like to see UW guaranteed *at least* ninety minutes, and thankfully it does seem that’s the case. Of course, what I’d really like to see is two hours, and perhaps they will indeed end up getting that. On that note, I certainly wouldn’t object to an all-nighter, Ã* la Fuji Rock or Blue Mountain. (Didn’t they play some miles-long gig at one of those shows?) But yeah that won’t be happening at 4th&B.

But, we can all be “stoked” (you out-of-towners might hear that round here – it’s Surfer for “ecstatic”) that UW seems to be getting an ok time slot. (Did they get more than ninety minutes at the Fox last year?) I say, however, let us all pray for that extra half hour to round this gig out to two hours. (I personally will be stomping the shite out of that floor when it comes time for an encore.)

Sorry for the long-windedness, but I really just want to say that, as a native San Diegan, I’m here to help with directions, touring/vacation info, etc. And I’d most certainly be interested in any meetup taking place.

Please forgive me for not looking further into the thread, but has a meetup been confirmed as happening?

I know this post is bloody long, and I apologize for that (and expect to take some heat for it), but I guess by making this remark, I’m only making it longer.

A couple of final points – what is this VIP seating (I have standard general admission) and is anyone going to Hard Haunted Mansion the following night?

I love you, my peers, my fellow hardcore Underworld fans.

Rest easy,
Aaron

[Rabbitwork]

i didn't go (because i opted for HARD, still stings) to the fox theater show but i have the bootleg of that performance and iirc UW played for about 2 hours, even though they were scheduled 90 minutes.

[ultradave]

...Oh how I wish I would have simply paid for the plane ticket to Oakland to see UW at the Fox!

That makes two of us! I'm glad it was set up for video stream though! I connected my iPhone and enjoyed the show from my big screen TV. That was cool! But it was certainly a let down that the Forum gig was shut down...

...we can all be “stoked� (you out-of-towners might hear that round here – it’s Surfer for “ecstatic�)

I haven't heard that term in ages! I'd say it's up there with Rad and Bitchin'!!! :D

what is this VIP seating (I have standard general admission)

The VIP seating was offered during the pre-sale. There are some box seats behind the floor and this is the area. It's close to the bar. I believe these sold out pretty quick as the section is rather small.

[Rise Pig Rise]

Very good info! I had no idea how long they were scheduled for, and it's great that they went over half an hour. The only thing that scares me that the same thing might not happen here is that the Bay Area may be a little more wonderfully liberal when it comes to music, particularly toward the legendary Underworld. (I did watch the Fox show via the stream that night, which was particularly well executed.)

[ultradave]

UW played for about 2 hours, even though they were scheduled 90 minutes.

The boys are coming out here all the way from the UK, that venue better let them play for 2 hours! Take no less R & K!!! :D

2 more days! 2 more days!!!
"in the dark with the lights off. concealed. i'm thinking of you still..." :cool:

[Rise Pig Rise]

That makes two of us! I'm glad it was set up for video stream though! I connected my iPhone and enjoyed the show from my big screen TV. That was cool! But it was certainly a let down that the Forum gig was shut down...
Ugh! I can't even tell you, man. Most of the crowd there was so very not, well, I don't want to sound elitist, but may I say "evolved"? (And I mean that strictly in a spiritual/mental way, obviously.) I would have loved to see Beetroots too, and they didn't get to go on either, if memory serves. (And I barely missed my beloved Crystal Castles, as I think they were playing as I waited in those obscene lines to get in.)

The crowd seemed so cool at the Fox. I watched the stream, too, and I thought the cast was brilliantly done! "Beautiful Burnout", in particular, annihilated my face.

I really, truly love OWB. Best UW album title ever, too. Musically, it's not my very fave, however, as there's no way I could ever choose between ST, BF & DN. While on the topic, though, would anyone besides myself have preferred that the original title for BF stuck ("Tonight, Matthew, I'm Going To Be Underworld")?

I haven't heard that term in ages! I'd say it's up there with Rad and Bitchin'!!! :D
Hah! Yes, I'm afraid many Surfer terms aren't terribly imaginative, but I suppose they do the job. Cross the pond, my fave UK slang so far has to be "cocker spaniel", as it can mean "one's lifetime", right?


The VIP seating was offered during the pre-sale. There are some box seats behind the floor and this is the area. It's close to the bar. I believe these sold out pretty quick as the section is rather small.
Right, thank you for that. All I care about is being in the front, up against the railing. I'm not sure how early I'll have to get there for that, but I'm thinking it could be early as 4p..


But what about this meetup? I'm especially interested in meeting anyone from outside the States. Ran into a really lovely guy from Wales, I think, at the Forum "show". (He even looked like Rick, so the whole night I was just kind of fascinated by the resemblance.)

Oh, and does anyone know if Yannick and/or King of Snake are still around? I think Yannick is Canadian, and KoS Dutch, perhaps? And particularly Scott Warner, obviously. Didn't he say he was going to the San Diego show? I've never actually met Scott..

[darktrain]

But what about this meetup?

Ideas have been kicked around but no one's made the executive decision, as it were. There's conflicting times for doors open and for underworld (screamsanddreams.com STILL isn't updated).

So, unless anyone is damned opposed, let's officially say Johnny Brown's (http://downtownjohnnybrowns.com/) at 6:00pm. That'll give us at least an hour (if doors are at 7) or more (if doors are at 8 and/or if we don't care to hear the openers).

http://downtownjohnnybrowns.com/

I'll have on a bright red adidas jacket/beard/glasses, so pretty easy to spot. I'll try to be at the bar, but may wind up at a table if it's too packed.

This sounds really good to me, but I have a bit of an embarrassing admission to make. I am, indeed, a fanatical UW fan, as their music has been an *integral* part of my life for the last decade. I just have to see them from the rails (I won't scream like a girl or anything, but my eyes will be *very* big), so I wonder if this does indeed mean I should get in line in the late afternoon.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

If no one does, I'm going to assume that I should go ahead and get there *that* early, so I'll obviously miss the meetup. I really don't want to miss seeing you guys, though, so what if I propose an aftershow meetup at a Denny's (chain diner)? I'll drive whoever doesn't have a car (or as many as will fit in my Civic), and I'll take whoever back to their hotels/cars after..

How does this sound?

Only thing is that I might be waiting around a bit after the gig to see if I can possibly share a hug with R/K/D.

[darktrain]

Even if doors are at 7 as originally listed, I think 4 would be WAY too early, imho. At most non-festival shows I've been to (and not just underworld, mind you) you can get right up front during/just after the opening act with a lot of polite excuse-me's and persistence.

Besides, we're bound to be more fun than standing in line;)

[ultradave]

i probably won't get to SD till close to 7pm, so we'll be going straight to the venue... we're leaving LA at about 4pm - so it all depends on traffic... we could get down there in less than 2hrs if the asphalt isn't full of rubber once we hit the pedal...

i'll be in box 1 of the VIP section with my buddy O.P. my wife decided to stay home so I can go crazy at the show. we'll be the tall guy / short guy combo - kind of like R & K :D

[Rabbitwork]

this sounds exactly like me; except not screaming like a girl, i might even do that.

like its already been said i don't think you'll need to get there too early to hit the rails. i don't see much cross-over between blaqk audio and underworld fans, and i doubt you'll have a gigantic rush once the doors open.

i think meeting at 6 and then maybe heading over shortly thereafter (depending on doors) would be fine. has anyone actually called 4th and B to see if they even know when doors open?

[Rise Pig Rise]

This is a good point, and I know it to be true, as well. It's just that I always feel like a bit of an ass with the persistence and all that because I'm a particularly tall guy.

Besides, we're bound to be more fun than standing in line;)
Undoubtedly true, and I'm certainly keeping in mind that there are plenty of very hardcore fans on here who are just as fanatical as myself. I mean, that's bloody well why we're here, innit? :)

So, I think I will meet up with you guys at 6. Still, I gotta tell you, it does make me a little nervous.. (ya know, cuz I'm tall, and I don't like feeling like an ass.)

The drive I'm *easily* most familiar with on this Earth is the one on the 101/405/5 between S.D. and L.A. I say, with it being a Saturday (and not, for example, a Friday), you should very well be alright leaving (no later than) 4p.

Of course, you probably already knew that.. :o

[pianopisser]

I was emailed today an update from facebook that the name of the event has change to "AEG LIVE presents Underworld feat. Blaqk Audio" ( link (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=158697924146386) )

I also talked to Judy @ 4th and b about the VIP situation today over the phone. She mentioned that only two boxes were offered during the ticket on-sale and that the remaining boxes are for the VIP w/ "bottle service". So those of us that have box seats up stairs will not have the bottle service. Just thought to clear that up

She also mentioned that the set-times have not been finalized. I sure what Rabbitwork posted in the last page will be true cause I'm also part of the coachella boards and what Dani says typical stands true.

Not sure if I can make the dirty meet up but I'm in box 1 during the show. I'm a big tall guy with a pony tail with a shorter Asian gf. I just got done checking the Gorillaz last night (Brilliant show!) and it's been an AMAZING month of live gigs happening in LA this month (went to nine already). But this Saturday night has always been the one I've been waiting for since the the ticket on-sale. Hope everyone has the time of their life this weekend, I'll be at be at the LA gig the next day as well !! :D

[Rise Pig Rise]

this sounds exactly like me; except not screaming like a girl, i might even do that.
Hah! I'll probably be right there with you, after all..

like its already been said i don't think you'll need to get there too early to hit the rails. i don't see much cross-over between blaqk audio and underworld fans, and i doubt you'll have a gigantic rush once the doors open.
Good points, again, though you never can tell what other music a UW fan is into. We seem to be the most eclectic lot of nearly all music fans.

i think meeting at 6 and then maybe heading over shortly thereafter (depending on doors) would be fine. has anyone actually called 4th and B to see if they even know when doors open?
Didn't you post before that Dani from the Coachella boards said she got 8p from the promoter? Of course, yeah, this could always be wrong... so I think I'll take it upon myself to call up the venue tomorrow eve and try to find out.. or even this eve..

[Rise Pig Rise]

+1. Good info, solid post, man.

[kagenaki koe]

i'll be loitering about in the downtown area saturday. i'll be wearing a black cap, gray jacket with an ornate skull image in the back, glasses and ponytail:)

[Rise Pig Rise]

I'm pretty mental with anticipation right now. It strangely feels like nothing between now and tomorrow night even really matters.

Seriously considering going to Hard, too. Does anyone know if we might hear a couple of different tunes on Sunday, whatever they may be?

[BrotherLovesDub]

Odds are very low for diff. tunes between SD & SF. SF is a festival set with at least 1, maybe up to 3 songs dropped from the club sets. You won't hear Dirty Epic at either, i'd guess, and you most likely won't hear Pearls Girl at either. I'd have to check to see the running time of a show that has DE, PG and Moaner but i'd guess it's closer to 1:45 than 1:15 set time allotted for the SF show.

No, I mean SD & LA..

[BrotherLovesDub]

well, if they're both 'festival sets' you're not going to see any variation. With the exception of Pearls Girl, Dirty Epic and Moaner to end the sets, they've been identical. If the set time is 1:15, you won't hear any changes. If the set time is longer at one than the other, then you'll get either PG, Dirty Epic or maybe Skyscraper and Moaner to finish.

Right, ok, good info. I do particularly hope that we hear PG tomorrow night, but I'm not terribly desperate for that one, as my preferred live versions of the tune predate the year 2000. I really like how much they used to f*ck with it when Emerson was still around. Leading off with that PG improv back from the Mayan Theatre was in-bloody-sane. Talk about getting my arse handed to me, and then some.

And to think I was only able to experience that via live recording. I'm so very grateful for whoever made that. That, and the Sheffield Octogon (which I can't seem to find anymore for some reason), particularly -- though any live UW is never anything but stellar, of course.

P. S. I know this doesn't really belong in this thread, so please forgive the off-topicness, as I don't intend to stray too long -- but did anyone see "Let Me In" with "Doot Doot" playing in the "seclusion scene"? Was that not breathtaking?

i had previously refused to see "let me in" because the original is so amazing, but now i'll have to just for that scene. really like its usage in "vanilla sky".

for tomorrow all i'm really hoping for is always loved a film (which is probably a guarantee; definitely my fav track on barking right now), king of snake, and if for some reason the star align properly juanita/kiteless.

does anyone know the last time they've played something from MK1 era?

[Chris M]

Something to note: USC/Oregon game starts at 5pm, and every bar with a TV will be packed for it. Just occurred to me. Still, I think we could get a table.


good point. i'd like to throw this joint out as another possible option - http://www.syrahwineparlor.com/

very memorable little wine bar without the overlap from the gaslap meat-heads. i've had many a good time bringing guests here.

thoughts?

[Jon Paul]

Vin sounds like a nice joint. I'm up for Johnny's, Vin, or hopping around the neighborhood. I'll be down in SD super early (leaving Ventura County at dawn...hate traffic).

Also, I just booked a room in Mission Valley because I don't want to risk the ride home amongst the holiday partiers. If any Dirts don't feel like the drive back to LaLaLand (and aren't inherently psychotic...aside from being manic fans, which is a given), you're welcome to message me or hit me at the meetup if you need a place to crash.

No clue what I'm wearing...that's a game time decision. I'll definitely be wearing red high top converse, sunglasses, and will be roaming the Gaslamp from 4:00 on. Can't wait for the show. Best coast indeed.

[Chris M]

for what it's worth here are the set times from my sources:

Doors: 8pm
DJ #1: 9:00pm - 9:45pm
Blaqk Audio: 10:00pm - 10:35pm
Underworld: 11:15pm - 1:00am
DJ #3: 1:00am - 4:00am

[ProfAmaretto]

Do these sources prefer not to be identified?

Lolz at generic DJ #1 + 3 (where's 2 or is that Blaqk Audio?)

[darktrain]

good point. i'd like to throw this joint out as another possible option - http://www.syrahwineparlor.com/

very memorable little wine bar without the overlap from the gaslap meat-heads. i've had many a good time bringing guests here.

thoughts?


Sounds perfect! I will instead be here at 6 and hope to see the rest of you, too!

dani (goldenvoice employee) on the boards has echoed this information as well. 1:45? not bad.

i will try to show at the wine bar but may not make it. i'll be wearing a grey button up shirt w/ undershirt, glasses, beard and walking with a short brunette with curly hair.

[Chris M]

just a heads up the wine bar "syrah" is located on the north east corner of 5th & E and is located down a small flight of stairs beneath street level. there should be a bouncer at the top of stairs to point the way.

[Troy McClure]

For what it's worth, I called the box office schedule line tonight...
the message said doors at 8:00 with show starting at 9:00 (first act whoever it is). Then it said Reset after show event.

Jason

[saintrik]

So... Has the Dirty meet-up location been decided yet? I'm reading different things through the thread...

Flight boarding in 10 minutes... Operating on 2.5 hours sleep after last night's show.

Should be an interesting day.

[khouri]

Sadly, I can't make it to the Dirtymeet but I will be at the show direct from a Halloween party. I'll be the fellow dressed as a version of Clark Kent if anybody wants to say hello. Have a great night, everyone.

[sockman]

The wife and I will probably be at the meet up. Maybe grabbing dinner afterwards. I'll be in blue button up and jeans, she'll be in black leather jacket. I just called 4th and B and their start time has been moved to 11:45. Would anyone with gen admin (or even VIP) be interested in splitting bottle service - $275 for 4 people - we're both light drinkers, but don't want to be stuck in general admin. We're looking forward to this show!

[jumbotron]

Latest set times -

Called the venue & the setlist as of 4:20 has UW 11:50 to 1:50a.
Full show goes until 4a.

Recommended to get there 11 or sooner as set times have apparently changed 3x today - maybe UW or their gear is hitting traffic. ;)

Anyway - that's the info I got. See you guys there!

[khouri]

Oh, and count me among those of you for whom the 1998 Mayan show was their first Underworld show. Cool to see that so many of us have remained fans and communicating on this board. Like you, it was one of the best nights of my life and pretty much changed everything for me in terms of the way I thought about music and performance.

My girlfriend and I have general admin, so if the bottle service comes with seats and is actually that cheap (I thought it was at least $450), I would be down for this. Let's talk at the meetup :cool:

[TheBang]

I have it direct from the source that the show tonight is 2 hours.

[kagenaki koe]

I am watching them right now. Door is open during their rehearsal!

[klingklang]

Awesomeness. Thanks for the info on the time change and the confirm that it'll be a 2 hour show. I am giddy. I am soooooo tired, but I am still giddy.

Anyone know if we can bring point & shoot cameras? I went over there and asked but the person I asked didn't know. The ticket says no cameras, but sometimes that doesn't mean what it says.

[sockman]

Darktrain, we're getting ready and will see you soon, probably give us an hour or so.

[darktrain]

It'll actually be closer to 7 by the time we get to Vin de Syrah now, so if someone else gets there first, let us know where you are.

[TheBang]

Point and shoot cameras should be fine

[Troy McClure]

Sweet 2 hours...thanks for the updates....my brother and I just got back from an awesome neighborhood restaurant on Ocean Beach. Now back at our hotel at Pacific Beach. Will be there dressed up as 'the rational consumer' in jeans, white shirt and Oblivion with Bells purple shirt underneath.

Can you feeeeel it!


Jason

[klingklang]

Point and shoot cameras should be fine
Thank you very much for the reply and info, TheBang.

[ultradave]

I AM SUPER EXCITED!!! R & K probably think I'm crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy... I was out here enjoying a slice of Pizza around the corner from the venue. I look up and who do I see walking by, yes, I saw our dynamic duo. I ran out and tapped Karl and said Hi and I totally went blank because of the excitement... At any rate, I just said Hi, shook hands and said it was a pleasure. There's only a short line out front, and I can't wait for the show! UNDERWORLD!!!

[Troy McClure]

That's a great story dave...from today's UWlive post, it seems that Karl is battling some nasty bug and he was not allowed to talk during the day today. Hope Karl will feel better for the show.

Glad it was a nice sunny day in San Diego after the morning rain.

See you all soon.

[ultradave]

He didn't say much. Hopefully he's saving it up. He looked well enough to me. He's much taller in person than I anticipated. It's after 8 and they're still not letting anyone in. I asked the girl at front and she said between 8-8:30... btw, I'm the short guy in the black sweater with the unground logo T.

[darktrain]

Awesome Dave. I met Pricey on the street outside the meetup venue. And we're still here so come on over!

[ultradave]

Already inside. This place is smaller than I was hoping for. It's going to be an amazing show. Good view from the VIP section too! The DJ is kicking the bass so I know the sound is going vibrate for UW. If you come in now theres still plenty of room up front. The stage is rather high though, probably 4 1/2 feet above the floor.

[TheBang]

Because of the size of the venue, there are no projections or video tonight.

[Banstylin']

If theres no video then we better get a full set w/ encore. Im here now... Place has good acoustics. Wearing a beige jacket down in front.

[ultradave]

Projections won't be necessary. This place is small. I Love This! Anyone else here and to those still to arrive, enjoy the show. I have a feeling it's going to be grand!

[klingklang]

Hey, this place has free wifi!

This place is tiny. It seems smaller than the Mayan.

Anyone know the name of the DJ on right now?

[Troy McClure]

I've seen them 2 other times with no projections....won't be any problems once the music starts. Karl seems to work extra harder since he'll be an even bigger focal point on stage.

on the way.

[saintrik]

Wow! Crazy small venue. The soundsystem kicks as well!

This is going to be one hell of a show!

Can. Not. Wait.

[ultradave]

Free Wi-Fi!!!!! Lol!!! Yeah, who is this DJ? He's mediocre at best. Played some good tunes, but had a few really bad crossfades.... and the tempo from track to track could be better matched! Sometimes it sucks to be so into the details! But uw are going to be stellar! This place is perfect!!! Are there no shirts etc... for sale???

[darktrain]

What are you wearing Dave. Jon Paul and I are coming around 11 and we'll try to find you and RisePig and sockman.

[saintrik]

I did not see any merch... None last night at Cow Palace either... Mild disappointment, but this show is shaping up to be a stormer.

If any of you see me rocking the grey unibomber hoodie with YMCA staff written on it, please say hello!

[rvr300]

Two words for opening guy: VOLUME CONTROL.

[ultradave]

ultradave is up in VIP box 1 wearing a black hoodie with a London underground logo t-shirt. There's a lad here in an orange Adidas shirt at my left.

[saintrik]

Hmmm... I'm sure Blaqk Audio is someone's cup of tea...unfortunately not mine.

:-|

[khouri]

Todd are you here? If so I'm dressed as Clark Kent, say hi if you see me!

[khouri]

Also that guy sucked.

[ultradave]

Anyone into 80's Retro Freestyle mixed with 90's Deep House will like Blaq Audio. I'm on the fence. I grew up with that sound so I didn't mind them. Bring on underworld!!! How long will they play? It's already 11:20!!!!

[klingklang]

Some people weren't kidding when they said all those AFI fans would split.

I saw no merch either. Someone at the DC show said the same, so I figured they wouldn't have any here (2nd US tour in a row with no merch).

Have fun everyone!

[khouri]

Taxi got us home superfast! Great show, amazing versions of some of the old faves. The Dirty Epic-Moaner transition was a thing of genius, I wish I could listen to it again and again.

[klingklang]

That was brilliant, indeed. Low key (because of Karl's illness) but still interesting. And despite the repetitive setlist people have mentioned, I think it's made for smoother seques. I'm just so happy that we got a 2 hour show. Beautiful.

By the way, downtown SD sure is noisy. And I don't think I've heard so many sirens in my life.

[Troy McClure]

Great great show...back safe at the hotel. Met some nice people where my brother and I wound up in the center of the floor. Hopefully some of them were 'dirties'. Karl's singing was great, but he must be extremely fatigued from being sick and all. Incredible mixes of the older stuff particularly Dark Train and Rez/ Cowgirl. I clocked Rez/Cowgirl at around 14 min. and King of Snake about 13 min.

Plus Dirty Epic!

The new stuff sounds great live. Some inventive costumes buy some of the attendees. All around a perfect night.

Safe travels everyone...and get well soon Karl.

Jason

[rvr300]

Not sure if the gents of Underworld ever look at this but you guys never cease to impress! Could tell Karl was a bit under the weather and not his normal energetic show but it was still awesome! 3rd show for me to see UW live and I'll be back again. Thanks for the great tunes guys and another great night of tunage!

[TheBang]

Rick and Darren fucking killed it tonight. As mentioned, Nu Train and Rez/Cowgirl were off the hook, and there were lots of other great moments. They made up for Karl being under the weather.

And I met a fellow Hawaii dirt. How crazy is that? Sorry, I forgot your handle already.

[ultradave]

Just got home... 5am. Tired. Worth it. Between Stars was amazing. Did anyone else notice that it was slowed down a bit? The show was epic and it ended on a high note. Although tired, I'm still amped from the show. Good night all... or shall I say Good morning...

[lament]

By the way, downtown SD sure is noisy. And I don't think I've heard so many sirens in my life.
lol it's Halloween weekend. ;)

First show for me and it was amazing. My friend (who has seen them several times) commented about Karl's lack of energy - now I know why. Hope he's feeling better.

Who has the setlist?

edit: nm.. saw the front page with the setlist. :)

[klingklang]

lol it's Halloween weekend. ;)
Ha! Fair point. That's cool this show was your 1st. Hopefully you can see them again, but it was pretty amazing to see them at that venue ( the only thing that disturbed me about that place was the physical patdown--it seemed a little too personal at one moment).

[sockman]

Nu train was amazing, best I've heard live. And Dirtyepic was done so very well. Karl seems to get his second wind about 1/2 way through - and picked up a little. Great show and nice to meet fellow dirts! Thanks all for the killer time. The opening act Black Audio (misspelled I'm sure) killed me a little on the inside...

[Chris M]

can't complain about the 2hr. set, though between the absence of the projections and karl's regular stamina, i found myself feeling a bit misplaced at times. this was a first Underworld gig for several of my mates and i'm not quite sure they got a complete experience.

on a side note, there was an oversight with pacing the photographers on the first 3 songs. we typically get the first 15 minutes or 3 songs (to shoot in the pit) of the set however, we ended up getting the second 15 minutes of the show which landed on Nu-Train, an almost 10 minutes of pitch black with no karl in sight.

good news is, i still manged to pull off a nice sum of photos throughout the whole set. stay tuned for those:)

[BrotherLovesDub]

Rick and Darren fucking killed it tonight.

how can that be? according to long time, hard core fans all they do is press play.

this is sarcasm.

[khouri]

I have to say, ALAF sounds far, far better live than on the record. Really, the whole Downpipe/ALAF/Dark Train opening works incredibly well. It might not be improvised but the guys definitely knew what they were doing when the designed the opening sequence to this tour.

As others have said, this version of Dark Train was singularly rocking. Tremendous groove, banging beat. Rez also had an almost Kitten-esque quality that night. And Moaner -- holy shit, it was awesome. A startlingly new intro/segue out of Dirty Epic. This is a song that's rarely remixed on stage so I was really glad to hear this version. Hopefully it'll emerge on a recording so everyone can hear just what a few changes can do to this ancient track.

It was obvious to me that Karl wasn't at the top of his game but I think he adapted his vocals well tot he situation. In some cases, like Cowgirl, he sounded more like the original album version, which is not something you hear live much given the song's evolution over the years. I also didn't miss him dancing around during the more instrumental tracks, it was fun to just dance to Rick & Darren's work to the sights of their silhouettes and not be distracted by Karl's madness. Nothing against Karl's madness, mind, but it was kind of a cool change of scenery.

The setlist was of course as expected, with Dirty Epic being the only deep cut. It was a beautiful version, though, one of the best live performances I've heard. It sounded to me like they've finally begin filter-fiddling around with Scribble, and the Diamond Jigsaw performance was really high energy and groovy. The only thing that really didn't work for me was Bird 1. Just not a good live track, at least not in the middle of the show.

[cured]

Had a great time. The bartender wearing the Heineken costume was serving up incredibly loaded drinks. I ended up kissing the toilet back at the hotel but loved every second before that. Now I'm rallying up energy to head over to the Shrine. Pity I didn't get to meet any of you but I did have about 3 different groups of friends there.

Definitely a great night.

[Rabbitwork]

Rez also had an almost Kitten-esque quality that night.
glad to know i'm not the only one who heard something "kitten-esque" going on there. i was ready to lose my mind (i did anyway, but kitten would've been a real treat).

this was my first UW show (fan for 13 years and counting) and i could tell even from hearing/watching live recordings that karl was not his usual self at the start. once i saw a smile from him during i think it was two months off it was like a sign things were going to be alright. i do have to say that this is the first time i've ever been at a live gig (for any band) where i completely forgot i was watching a band perform music. an unusual sense of calm and belonging settled in about halfway through the performance and now that the show is over it feels like i went to an amazing place that hopefully someday i can return to, and not just a simple show with some boys of essex twiddling knobs and strumming guitars.

the born slippy performance nuxx was out of this world. met some awesome fans in line (not sure if any of you were dirts) and the crowd was great. amazing show all around.

[SappysCurry]

I totally thought Rez was Kittens at first.

What a great night. The boys did indeed wreck the joint. Kind of nice without all the visual hoopla and just having a good night of music.

I had no idea Karl was under the weather, though he did seem less jumpy. The whole gig had a quality about it that reminded me of seeing them in the late 90's. Maybe it was just the stripped down nature of the show. It felt like the House of Blues gig in Vegas many, many years ago.

Even the costumes didn't get in the way of our enjoyment. Now for the negative, Black Audio was awful. We got there halfway through their set and it still felt like it went on for hours....and man, is 4th and B a dump.

A great night, a great setlist...and now on to the Shrine for the last stand.

[Rabbitwork]

i didn't think blaqk audio was too bad. i'm not a huge fan but i'm familiar with a handful of their tracks and its not bad. they were kind of shoved off to the side there and clearly someone forgot to turn half the lights on for the first 2.5 songs. i thought davey (singer) was pretty entertaining to watch. the sound quality was terrible though, i could barely make his singing other than mostly noise.

on the other hand, fernando or dj fernando or "some guy who bought a macbook" whatever his name was, the dj before blaqk and in-between was an absolute zero. apparently to dj you don't have a) stick with a genre or semi-related genres b) know how to pick an appropriate order of songs or c) even know how to beatmatch, just fade one track out or stop playing it altogether. absolute garbage.

I was at the Vegas gig in '99, too. That was the ultimate in a stripped down Underworld show. If memory serves me correctly, that place was smaller than 4th and B.

Made it back to Phoenix in one piece. I don't know how it will take me to be able to listen to the CD versions of last night's setlist without the glorious performances of last night rooted in my brain.

I will run through a brick wall for a boot of this show.

Jason

[klingklang]

I totally forgot to ask, but did anyone get a download code last night? I didn't see anyone passing anything out. Is there any way we can prove with our stubs or receipt that we saw a non-festival show and get the download because I really, really, really would have loved to have gotten that (they should have given them out when we entered the venue).

I will run through a brick wall for a boot of this show.
Hopefully you won't have to. I got it, but I moved up after Blaqk Audio's fans left and therefore lost most of the sound coming off the stacks. So hopefully another person was able to capture a better recording. I'm burnt out after an exhausting Amtrak trip home (delayed thanks to Vandenberg deciding to launch a Delta II, which they then decided not to launch...ugh), but I'll see how bad my recording turning out after I get that elusive thing called sleep.

[saintrik]

No one was handing the download cards out after the show, but the cards were sitting in a large bucket right by door. I grabbed a few, and will be glad to pass these onto the folks that I know were at the show...

http://alaundre.com/mixes/FxCam_uw1.jpg

i got to the venue early so i managed to get parking at the venue, took pic of the gear when i paid for parking
http://alaundre.com/mixes/gear.jpg


i wasn't planning on doing any recording so i only had my cell with me, i was fairly sure my shooting was crap, but i thought i'd share these vids anyway (i didn't convert these or anything, they are all in 3gp format):

1) after i parked, i went to the front of the venue (the doors were open since they were either moving some stuff in or out) and music started playing so i snuck in to see who it was:D. I was there for about 2 or 3 minutes before i went outside (posted it in this thread:D), then went back and decided to record the rehearsal (sorry, i was trying to be discreet, i held the camera by my stomach so it's not aimed or focused on anything). I didn't know Karl was sick that day, but his voice was definitely clearer during the run thru. When I stopped recording, I turned around and there were about 5-7 people further behind me (i guess a few other dirties were there?). It would be another 4 or 5 minutes before one of the 4th&B guys kicked us out.

(right click and save these to download)
http://alaundre.com/mixes/uw1.3gp

2) the first 24 minutes of the show (audio/video quailty isn't that good, i've never really used the video feature on the phone). It's split up into 4 files cuz I couldn't make up my mind whether I should just watch the show or keep recording so there's about a few seconds up to a minute gap between the files (the 3rd link is 800 MBs)
http://alaundre.com/mixes/uw2.3gp
http://alaundre.com/mixes/uw3.3gp
http://alaundre.com/mixes/uw4.3gp
http://alaundre.com/mixes/uw5.3gp

I'll leave the links up just for a week, you guys are free to do what you want with them.

Reading back on this thread, I guess Rabbitwork was the guy I was chatting with at the front of the line and at the very front of the show. As i was leaving the parking lot, i spotted Nate & Jillian from Omaha (don't know if they're dirties, but they were with us at the front of the line) and I offered them a ride back to their hotel.

Also, they were handing out the video cards sometime after they opened the doors (got mine when i was hanging out at the front of the stage...but there were only a handful of people inside the venue at that point.)

[darktrain]

Finally home after a crazy weekend. Back to back Underworld Saturday and DJ Shadow Sunday has me aching but happy.

Thanks Chris M for suggesting the meetup location! Vin de Syrah is a really excellent spot, though I wish more dirties would have shown. I did meet Pricey on the street just before heading in, though:D
Great to meet sockman & his girl, RisePigRise, and especially Jon Paul...dude can party;)
I wanted to head up to the boxes to find ultradave, but couldn't get up there with the genadmin ticket, and kept an eye out for a Clark Kent Andy, but never found one.

The show itself was great! I think Karl was as bummed as us that he wasn't feeling great, but his vocal certainly didn't seem affected at all. As mentioned before, it was both strange to see him exit the stage for NuTrain, Rez, etc. but also a nice change of pace that let Rick and Darren really shine.

Dirty Epic into Moaner...stunning!

btw, I've got two extra download cards. Anyone who was at a show that didn't get one, PM me.

(also, longest show thread ever?)

[saintrik]

while making my image selections and seeing the sincere expression of karl's under the weather smirk, it suddenly occurred that i am in fact a hyper critical jerk for my earlier remarks. these guys did so well given the nature of the circumstances... class act as always.

Thanks Chris M for suggesting the meetup location! Vin de Syrah is a really excellent spot, though I wish more dirties would have shown.

glad you made it out! sorry about flaking, trying to lead a heard of people will certainly derail your plans as i have now learned. did you get confused with opening the door to the bar by chance? their little side gag never ceases to amuse.

Really? When we left, I didn't see a single person handing them out. No one in our group of 6 or 7 that left together got one or even knew about them.

Thank you for sharing the great pics, Chris M!

thank you, guys for the feedback! it means a lot coming form the UW community. overall the pictures probably appeared more minimal in contrast with the other gigs, this was the case with the absence of the projections and full light curtain.


anyone willing to share those cards, it would be much appreciated. NYC's Roseland Ballroom had neither a guy handing cards out, nor a bucket.

i've have an extra one if you'd like or do you just want the card info (it's the same on all of them)?

[stimpee]

Can someone just scan them and post the pics on flickr? thnx.

[Butcher of Bakersfield]

Oh for F sake, there where hundreds of these cards on the tables when you walked into 4th & B. it says:

" www.underworldlive.com

click: log-in _ sign up
log-in or register and log-in

click: i was at the gig

name: SENDSPACE
password: IWASTHERE2010 "

now go get it.

[Butcher of Bakersfield]

Oh yeah, but the site says you have to take the "2010" off of the password because somebody messed up on the cards.

Also I'm looking for Aaron or Erin. He might be RisePigRise, but not sure. met him at the wine bar in SD. I'm the guy w/ the hat.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't post that on here (not sure if it was appropriate). I shared it on RTSR first, but the dime one has pics and a longer text file (where I just blab away more).

As for quality, I put samples on dime. For those not on there, I just made an mp3 of 2 Months Off at Megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=62WKEP6I (and I'll post that on RTSR).

Personally, I'm not happy with it because of the audience noise that got picked up, but I like listening to it as a memento.
