I tried to find him in the set (but didn't listen to the whole thing), but could not. Set ended with scribble and her saying "we are told they will have a very big surprise for us during their live set"

Wonder if it's a new surprise or if it's the same one as wednesday :P

[robotusch]

Right, here we go.

[joethelion]

Juanita!!!!!

[TheBang]

Sounds good!!

[robotusch]

And into TMO - unless we hear the chime kick in...

[jetpig]

Top vibe!

[hypeless]

what is this?

[jetpig]

"I used to love to smoke on the airplane..." WHEW NEW SOUNDS!

[TheBang]

How is it possible that this is the first time they've played Belfast? I checked the Gigography and it seems to be true. I seem to recall there was a cancelled Belfast date on the 2007 tour, I think.

[graysquire]

Nice!

[hypeless]

"sunlight on my wings"

[jetpig]

Surprised by the overt drug references in these lyrics, but my goodness this track is fantastic!

[Yannick]

I left for a bit... is it still them ?

First time in Northern Ireland too, if this interview is anything to go by: https://www.irishnews.com/arts/2018/05/25/news/underworld-s-karl-hyde-on-their-belated-belfast-debut-at-biggest-weekend-1337177/

I take it the cancelled gig was this: https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/30712

[maedi]

Wow, what was that tune before? Sounded cool.
Ah. KOS. Finally something we know :-)

[robotusch]

And back to familiar territory with King of Snake

[robotusch]

And I Will Kiss

[joethelion]

...please tell me someone is recording this

It's frustrating that I can't turn up the volume on my laptop, and I'm at work!

and it seems like all of the songs so far are getting slight tweaks here and there (like did I hear a bit of 'telematic' at the end of Juanita? Or the bits of Rez played during 'And I will Kiss'

[maedi]

Still has the energy for an entire stadium. Like it.

I'm doing a crap recording [Mac -> Aux -> Tascam].

[TheBang]

New email about Iggy Pop. I haven't read it yet.

[TheBang]

This will be available on-demand in a few hours, and directly rippable, so don't worry about recording now.

[stargurl]

Bells & Circles (the new one) is Underworld & Iggy Pop, mail has a link to the video.

[TheBang]

You know, of all the tracks to survive into the post-album tour rotation, Low Burn probably would have been one of my last guesses.

[hypeless]

Rez

Overt drug references make sense now.

That explains the drug references then :p

[holden]

This new collaboration is awesome!
Not yet sold on the spoken word story from Mr. Pop, but the music is harder than we've heard from UW in quite some time.

[hypeless]

Karl on the stream!

[joethelion]

Overt drug references make sense now.

I thought the vocal sounded familiar!

[hypeless]

Slightly OT - anyone recognize the Water from a Vine Leaf remix they played while waiting for Karl after the set?

[Dirty Saint]

Watching with God proving an extra light show outside here in Southampton

Absolutely:D amazing

[Dirty Saint]

I f***** love Underworld

Such another great gig - audience seemed really up for it aswell!

I don't get why Malcolm likes to look like a homeless person.

Nice rip, thanks for the quick turnaround!

Out of curiosity (well okay, sheer nosiness!), how did you manage to capture it? I've tried Audacity a few times for various radio shows but never seem to get it right - I'm sure I'm missing something glaringly obvious, so any pointers would be welcome!

Sorry, I didn't rip it personally. I just shared it.

The easiest way to do it for the BBC is to use get_iplayer: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer

[gadzooks]

Ohh, brilliant, thank you - will definitely check that out!

[Yannick]

im uploading the 3gb file to mega... will send the link when its done, then someone can put it on the tracker

Watching the video, you can see Rick saving And I Will Kiss from crashing and burning before Karl starts the vocals. I like those parts of Underworld Live the most.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sadly the videos are blocked in the US.

You wouldn't happen to have Orbital's performance? I'd love to see that.

[kontakt1968]

For the Orbital check out http://www.loopzorbital.com/blog/

[Billy Goat]

Did this ever make it to the tracker? It isn't on there at the moment and the mega link no longer works.

I watched the gig live on TV when I was on holiday so wasn't able to record it. I've been listening to And I Will Kiss a bit recently and want to hear the live version, and the rest of the gig obviously!
Can anyone help me out please?

[TheBang]

Sorry, it hasn't made it there yet. I have all the files though. Everything needs to be edited though. Someday!
