- Original Post -
So, who's going?

I'll be there along with 4 friends. Two of which who have seen a few shows, two of which haven't ever seen UW perform live.

Should be great!

[jumbotron]

Going solo! Psyched.

[Champiness]

Though I have no idea if I'll be going or not, I certainly want to an awful lot.
Someone let me know when tickets go up!

[TheBang]

Um, tickets have been on sale for weeks

[Champiness]

...Oh.
Yeah.

[pahooji]

So I bought 2 tickets for this show but now I can't make it - (it's okay, I'll be at the D.C. show 2 days prior)
So if anyone wants a pair of tickets for less than ticketmaster (I paid $120), make me an offer! They're printable e-tickets, FYI.

[0ld_man_einstein]

been a huge underworld fan since they blew my mind in the mid 90s. remember them from the movie hackers too... and just a minute ago - i bought tickets to see them here in nyc on nov 27 @ roseland ballroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who else is going? i love this music but never really felt compelled to go see concert.... i can't wait for the show!!!!!!!

[Mr.Grumpy]

i'll be there! driving down from toronto for it!

[0ld_man_einstein]

i'll be there! driving down from toronto for it!


re: roseland ballroom - tons of bands have played there but i've never been to any shows there. a friend of mine went to a prodigy concert there this year (or was it last....?) and he said he had a blast. venue is a little small but that should make the experience better, IMO :D

it's right in the middle of times square so there are tons of places to head to to get tipsy before the show :D

[potatobroth]

Roseland Ballroom is my favorite small venue in NYC. Sound is fantastic, atmosphere is wonderful, location is picturesque, and it just feels right. Cannot wait to see them there.

[ndrwrld]

mrgrumpy...got any room for 1 dirt ? moved to Hamilton couple months ago, and really can't afford the flight to NYC.
you staying overnight ?

[0ld_man_einstein]

you guys will see me there for sure - i'll be wearing LEDs. :D

[Mr.Grumpy]

mrgrumpy...got any room for 1 dirt ? moved to Hamilton couple months ago, and really can't afford the flight to NYC.

i'll send you a pm.

[Caprice]

Roseland is historic in my book. Im kicking myself in the ass for choosing to go to the DC show over this one, but alas Moogfest calls my name.

Portishead did a one off show here, they made a DVD from it that is one of my favorites and worth buying even you remotely are interested in Portishead.

[negative1]

got my tickets to this and the DC show..
this should be great..
hope to meet some of you..

hey raj! welcome back!

[0ld_man_einstein]

deadmau5 is also playing at roseland that week - the friday the 29th i believe.

anyway, does anyone have any idea of what tracks they're going to play? they're on tournow so im assuming they're going by "mostly" similar tracklists...

[ndrwrld]

if anyone is driving from anywhere near Toronto, to this show, please email me at
ndrwrld at hotmail dot com.
thank you.
ps - trying for the Fallon show too !

;)

looks like 5 from the new album, and ~7 or 8 from the old albums.

[ndrwrld]

looks like sandra and i will be flying into NYC for this gig.
where's the pre dirt meetup ?
also, entered every possible way for Fallon tix...

[ndrwrld]

felix da housecat for opening dj ?
SO there !

[potatobroth]

ill be there Nder... but ill be working and hopping on a train to get into the city. Not sure if ill be able to meetup before or not. Roseland isnt a huge joint, so we'll meet you inside.

[ndrwrld]

sandra and i are staying at a hotel not far from the venue from tuesday till thursday.
doubt we'll get into Fallon.
don't know much about a cool place near the venue to meet up...anyone ?

[potatobroth]

well that venue is smack-dab in the middle of NYC -- where the touristy places are.

I'll ask around for potential meetup places. I'm trying furiously to get a half-day for that Wednesday so I can get in earlier.

[ndrwrld]

maybe hitting Booka Shade the night before, in no sleep till Brooklyn.

[potatobroth]

Want to meet here? Its right near by, and just a pub thats easy to get to. I've been cleared to leave a bit early and can prob. be in the city by 530 the latest.

[jumbotron]

There's also Lizard Lounge, or Iguana - whatever it's called now - 240 West 54th Street - I think a couple blocks closer.

[potatobroth]

im good for meeting wherever. i dont know too many spots near there, so just tell me where to be and ill be there. :D

cant wait!

[ndrwrld]

agreed.
as long as they serve food and beer, we're there.
just pick a place near the venue, and i'll call ahead to make sure they've got a table big enough.
oh yeah, a ' hells yeah ' confirmation here from anyone who WILL be attending the pre meet....include a guest(s) if bringing any.

[potatobroth]

ill have a few peeps with me. we'll all be there for the pre-meet. woots!

[ndrwrld]

mcgees looks really nice inside, and general pub fare.
$4 drafts and $4 well drinks all night !
that place gets my vote.
anyone ?

good food too. ive done many a happy-hour there when i worked in NYC.

[ndrwrld]

spoke to Rob @ Mcgees...
if we can get 30 people, he'll give us our own room, bartender, and 2 waiters.
cash bar ( same prices as mentioned before ). possible discount on food if enough people eat.
we can also pipe in our own music.:D
so let's start a count of peeps...
2 here.

[potatobroth]

3 for me. 30 seems doubtful. there's an upstairs bar at that place too. open to the public while most stay downstairs tho.

[ndrwrld]

upstairs is where we'd all be if we hit the goal.
i'll call the bar next monday to see where our #'s are.
total = 5.

[jumbotron]

I'll be there.

[0ld_man_einstein]

HELL YEAH - i am down for the pre-meet. kindly add me +1 . i'll be there for drinks, no food. :)

[orzechowskid]

got room for one more at the pre-meet? Lurked here (and dirty.org) for a long while, just now signed up. I don't know anyone in NYC and none of my friends could make it to this show. This looks like as good a place as any to ask around!

- d

[ndrwrld]

http://mcgeespub.com/index.html
it shall be.
we won't have the numbers for our private room...i'll let the bartender know where to send the Dirts.
see everyone wednesday...i think doors open at the Roseland at 7 pm...we're aiming to be at Mcgees for 5 ish.

[rayray]

Making a request - one for Karl and one for Rick
Hamburg Hotel
Between Stars

[negative1]

i'll try to make it out early to meet up also..
after all this time.. i really should meet some
people in person for once!

[testudo]

Seems as if I will forever be a lurker... one day... one day (2 of the men I know have a name day)

[rayray]

Work - Drive - Dance......
Can you feel it? Can you feeeel it!

: )

[0ld_man_einstein]

I'll see you dudes @ McGee's around 5ish. I'm going solo to the concert as well and hopefully can tag along with some of you guys. A friend of mine is coming to the concert and i'm meeting with her around 10ish.

See you lot there!

[potatobroth]

I got here early and walked by Roseland. Got a listen to the soundcheck from out on the street. Looking heavily forward to the KOS version I just heard.

[testudo]

Karl and/or Rick please mention:

Children, Animals & Computers.

[grady]

Anyone at the roseland yet?

[monochrome]

Same set as DC! But, a gloriously fun time!!!! I was close to the front, and it really felt like EVERYONE was having an incredible time.

I'm concerned about how many times my gaping, blissed-out maw will show up on youtube, though, as a bunch of people around me felt compelled to do the "oh shit lets slowly spin in a circle and keep the video camera-phone recording!!1" trick.

Crowd highlight for me was the guy who had some scrolling-text app on his iphone... punched in SURFS UP! during Diamond Jigsaw and held it high for all to read.

So good. Many many thanks Underworld! Come back again soon!

[testudo]

it was nice to meet some dirts (and for me to stop being a dirt lurker).

potato is a kind soul.

it was nice that Karl sent Dirty Epic out to the Dirts.

[jumbotron]

Nice mtg the crew - great show.

For me, some of the new stuff really worked & some didn't so much. The classics all pretty much killed imo.

Rick sang on a few songs - I thought he only sang on ALAF. Anyway... had a great time.

[negative1]

ok, got back from the show..

well, since i knew what to expect..
i was in more of a 'documentary' mode..

it's not the best footage, but i have about 1/2 the
show...or maybe a little bit more..mostly the begininng
and ending.. OF COURSE, DIRTY EPIC!!!

1st ) its just a simple canon powershot, so don't expect great
results.. i filmed half in 640x480 mode, and some in 720p (1280x720) mode..

2) of course i was bumped a lot, i'm not that tall, and a lot of the footage is hands,
heads, and other people filiming (of course)... but looking at it now.. .it's more of
my view (from near the soundboard area).. being up front wouldn't have helped..
more bumping etc... and yes a lot of crowd noise

3) that being said, the audio is actually pretty decent.. i was surprised at how good
it came out.... and the underworld sound guys did a great job of not making it too loud..

i'll post youtube links for those that aren't seeing them...

otherwise ***** SPOILERS ****************** since its the same show,
you'll know exactly what to expect...

just wanted to share what an awesome experience i had last night. it was my first techno/dance concert and it blew my mind! it was a blast meeting up with everyone here from the board - really great bunch of people. it was a blast to share the incredible experience with you guys!

my favorite tracks from last night --
tie for 1st place -- dark train AND always loved a film!!!!!!!!
2) bird 1
3) born slippy

i cant wait for them to come around on tour again :D

[ndrwrld]

finally back home on Canadian soil.
also met Rick, he signed my Adidas UW shoe, and took the other one back inside for Karl to sign...got a pic with Rick and Potatobroth...to be posted soon.
bliss.
thanks to everyone we met at Mcgees before and after the gig.
Dirty Epic !
thank you Rick.
thank you Karl.
thank you Darren.

[negative1]

ok,

this is my first video posting ....
couple of things to remember....

1) it's from an audience perspective .. so you'll see a lot of heads,
hands, cameras (etc).. it gets better in the latter videos...

2) this is part 1 of 6 .... lost 'king of snake', oh well, somehow my
memory card messed up, i got some video, but no audio... no problem..
i'm sure there will be plenty of other videos etc...

3) the original was shot in 720p, i downsized it to 640x360 for youtube,
i have a really slow upload rate, so it takes awhile even for smaller videos..

so here it is:
01 - underworld - downpipe (New York 2010 Roseland Ballroom) 7min:32sec

Feel free to share the links elsewhere, and of course comments are
appreciated....

the sound quality is pretty decent i thought.... and i tried to capture
the stage setting and other detials, and not just karl..

[potatobroth]

In all honesty, I skip Scribble when listening to the new album, but live, Scribble is off the fucking hook! I absolutely loved it, especially the drop after the spoken word part. The ah-ah ah-ah layering, while simple, really added something special.

That show. Wow.

They finally change the setlist, at a gig near me, and I wasn't there?
