Underworld @ NYC Central Park : Friday 14/9/07

[futureLo]

*** MEETUP DETAILS*** http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/showthread.php?t=6611

hello wonderful dirties!


i know all of us here in the states are so completely excited for underworld to be back on this side of the globe, first time since ultra 2003. i'm a long time underworld fan, long time lurker, and new poster... just thought i'd get something started for all of us that are heading to the NYC show.

where do you all think they'll be in central park? ticket prices? how're you getting to the City? where do you plan on staying? just some things to get a thread started.

september can't get here fast enough!

[Malt Refund]

Doesn't look like they know yet about the prices or venue.. probably Summerstage (http://www.summerstage.org/) since it's the most popular one inside the park, but really it could be anywhere. :)

I know there aren't many concerts listed in USA right now, hopefully that changes but if it doesn't, I'll be happy to provide free room/board for anyone who need to make the trek over here to get their UW fix. :)

[King of Snake]

I'll be there! \o/

[holden]

Definitely planning on it! Underworld in NYC on the 14th, then down to Philly for Genesis on the 19th! I've been waiting 5 and 15 years, respectively, for these shows!!!

[sloff]

I'll probably fly into JFK, since flying from Buffalo actually works out cheaper (and faster) than driving. Plan on staying with my old roomate who lives in White Plains, he always loves a good show.
I hope that more dates get added so I can make the usual Underworld
tour pilgrimage to Toronto too.

[Jason Roth]

I'll probably be at this.

[dirtyatl]

The rumors are that Underworld is playing the NY Ultra music fest, typically happens around the 2nd weekend in Sept. If so they will be playing Rumsey Playfied in Central Park. Other rumored bands on the line up are Chemical Brothers and Soulwax. There is also a college music fest taking place before ultra.NY this year that they could be part of.

Again just rumors from my google search.

[patrick]

definatley might have to hit up that room and board... although i can feed myself ;)

this sounds might fun... i need to visit NYC anyways

[testudo]

<<where do you all think they'll be in central park? ticket prices? how're you getting to the City? where do you plan on staying?>>

To answer your questions:

summerstage.

by the grace of darren; free.

roll out of bed, go to work, leave work, go to the park.

home.

[Jafs]

I really want to go in NYC. Does someone know when the tickets will be avaible ?

[switchbladesusie]

I cannot wait. The first year I'll be home on the east coast in the fall in four years (after four years in Chicago for school) and it couldn't have come at a better time!! NYC is about a 3-4 hour drive from my house, not including traffic, so it's a small trek for UW.

[King of Snake]

I'll probably be at this.

you'd better be :p

[Rog]

if me and the missus come over can you NY dirts sort us out for entertainment if we sort our own hotel and stuff? ......we want to do it:D
and if any other uk dirts want to then contact me and we could all go togehter......;)

[GforGroove]

I really want to go in NYC. Does someone know when the tickets will be avaible ?

mmm.. summerstage is usually free or like suggested donation.
I think is going pack as hell..is not a huge venue at all.. probably more fun.

Last summer to get into Lady Sovereign i got like 2 hrs before and not that i score a good place or anything like that!

this is going to be niiice!.

[ndrwrld]

me thinks im gonna have to hit this shit with strap ons...
now, can i find a driver ?

[smack416]

I'll drive if you supply the vehicle.

[ndrwrld]

my ' i need a driver ' thing was directed to my gf on here.
she has yet to clue in.
were almost definitly going to this.
if you need / want a ride, let me know.
an extra person helps out with the gas.

tho, more announced dates in North America would be nice.
coincedentally, Toronto is in North America.:cool:

hey smack, you share the same b day as my mother...cool beans.

[stimpee]

I'll probably be at this.I'll probably be on Jason's couch.

[Icke]

Underworld playing at a free festival in Central Park: awesome.

Being a poor college student thousands of miles away: not awesome.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Toronto would be, without a doubt, luscious. And the Canadians are far more civilised than the Yanks too :p (or most English for that matter)

Rick and Karl - take the hint, eh? :D

[patrick]

i thought i remember that Karl had some family in TO or somehting like that... maybe that will bring them back!

[ndrwrld]

yeah, either Karl or Rick.
either way, if UW dont hit Toronto, i'm going to have to ...
to...
never mind.

[ndrwrld]

And the Canadians are far more civilised than the Yanks too :p
you obviously havent spent muc time here.
dont under estimate us.
debauchery was born here.

[King of Snake]

btw if any of you wonderful NYC dirts have a couch where I can crash please let me know! :) (pm or email michielvanharenATgmail.com)

[futureLo]

FREE underworld? my god i would die.

[Malt Refund]

I seriously doubt it will be free. :)

ive decided to try to go to this gig rather than the holywood bowl one (as im not a fan of fixed seating for Underworld).

Hoooray!!! i've been waiting almost 5 years for a US show! The time has come for me to see UW. :)

[switchbladesusie]

Oh of course they have to go on sale TOMORROW when I have to work instead of all the other days off I have this week.

Looks like someone's going to be taking an early lunch ;)

[jasdotcom]

This will be remembered as one of the best summers of my life!! Picking up tix for NYC AND Red Rocks!!

Does anyone have info on when the first single off the new album is due for release? How about the album itself? I'm sure there's probably a different thread devoted to this answer but for some reason it's not popping up for me.

I hope this mini tour of the states will be just as enjoyable the boys as it will be for us yanks!!!

Oh BTW: I put together a promo mix a while back in which I used Biro The Leggy as the opening track. If you want to take a listen I've posted it on my MySpace page.

Aw man - wish I could justify the time (and the money) to do the US thing. I envy all of you (although I will get to see the guys at Knebworth at the end of June, but still....)

As far as I can tell there is no news on a release date for the album yet. No doubt the single(s) will pop up in time for the Ibiza season which usually starts in July.

Hope everyone in the US has as much fun and awesome memories as we in Europe have had over the past coupla years. :)

Edit: BTW - are you the same Jason that made it to Tilburg and ILT in November 2005?

Basically, according to their new Japanese label, a single is due in summer, with the album in the fall.

[Malt Refund]

Ya, I got tix. Damn expensive. I better see fireworks. :)

[desphrs]

Confession: I signed up for this board when there was a whiff of a whisper of a hint of a rumor that UW might be at Coachella '07. That never materialized, obviously. This did.

Dubnobasswithmyheadman and "Why Why Why" effectively changed my life upon hearing them. While this post effectively makes me a first-time dirt -- well, I have no idea how I'll pay my bills the rest of this month but I will be making the trek from Philadelphia to Central Park to celebrate my 15 years as a UW fan alongside you good people, at a show I never thought I would experience. Cheers!

(Coachella '07 was pretty flippin' awesome anyway, FWIW. And I'm also seeing The Police in July. If I were at the track, this would be my take on "hitting the trifecta.")

[Malt Refund]

Damn, every freaking Dirty is going to this thing. Look for my dirtyshirt, ya'll.

[selector]

Yeah, this a good time to say the least!
I can see the dirty banners now.... :)

Sorry, not me. I've been US bound for the last 5 years but I'm looking to change that all up this festival season!

Oh, and the name of the mix w/ Biro on it is called "@Meister". I should of said that in the previous message.

Thanks for the link! I'm anxious to hear what direction their sound is going now!!!! I suspect it's more minimal/tech house, and the James Holden opener strengthens my opinion.

[Jafs]

any links for low price hostels ? I think I wil lstay there for 4 days...

What the heck, it starts at 4:30 PM? What kind of party starts that early? BOOOOOO

a daytime outdoor party?

[rayray]

early night then, is it too much to wish for an after/party/show?
fingers crossed - says please - :D

[sunflowereye]

a daytime outdoor party?

Is that so bad? With gates at 4:30PM I'd guess that Holden goes on at 5PM. I would guess he'll play for 2 hours. Is Darren Price playing an opening dj session before the UW performance? I'd guess that it would be near or shortly after sunset when they go on. I'm thinking UW plays for 3 hours and it's over by 10PM. Central Park is a big place; however, people with big $$$ live all around it. I'd further speculate that a noise ordinance will have to kick in sometime by 10PM. Anyone been to an electronic performance in Central Park? A friend of mine saw Carl Craig there a few years back. Not sure when it ended though.

[filthpunkdammit]

old dirt coming out of hiding...

just found out about the show and im totally pissing myself! im so there! i dont care if i have to stand outside the venue, or go by myself. it'll be worth it!! :D:D:D

Got my ticket, yeah! Flying from one end of the country to the other. Woo!!

It's not bad at all. Actually, I quite prefer it.

Yes, there's lots of $$$ surrounding the park, but the stage is in the middle and the sound doesn't really make it to 5th or CPW. That being said, shows there usually end around 11.

[filthpunkdammit]

been to loads of shows at central park, at all the different venues. noise is not a problem at all. you can rarely ever hear anything till you get into the park. late shows usually end around 11ish. the park itself "closes" at midnight. security is totally fine too, especially after a big show. the venue itself is okay, not too big. expect not to be able to see much as it is standing room/general admission. often times there are bleacher seats available. but this show may not have them. also, expect to get dirty - you will literally be dancing in dirt. sometimes if it is really hot, they will try to hose down the crowd as much as they can. but don't rely on it. also, you probably wont be able to bring anything into the venue with you (bags, gear, food, etc.). security checks are tighter than they used to be; you could be frisked at entry. they will probably have some vendors w/ water, sometimes beer. if they get good sponsors, sometimes you might get food, t-shirts, etc. other times amenities can be real spotty. also, if you leave the arena, they may not let you back in.

not for nothing, but sometimes it is best to hang out outside the venue. that way you can stretch out, have all the dance space you want, and hear just as well. better than standing shoulder-to-shoulder, in dead sweaty heat, for seven hours. (but that's probably just my old lady ass talkin'.... ;))

random thought - theres a local - surprisingly cool - manhattan tv channel (ch. 25) that films almost all of the summer stage events and broadcasts them throughout the year. i wonder if this show will be broadcast??? :eek:

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

I've a running bet it will be. ;)

[holden]

As long as i can see and hear, it'll make my year! :)

[slinky]

groovy. i got my flight booked. i got my room booked. i got my ticket purchased. now all i need is a map to get around nyc. never been there before. any suggestions for nice record stores to visit in manhattan?

Samralh and I will be attending...staying in Brooklin all weekend too.
ps - this is the last year Coney Island will be in effect...hint hint nudge nudge.

[Malt Refund]

Yup, I just went to Coney Island a few weeks ago. Was pretty fun, Ima miss it. Luckly the Cyclone will still exist after the remodelling. That ride is scary as all hell.

[sloff]

I'm still planning on going. The debate now is to pay and get into the stage area or hang out outside and just enjoy the music. My girlfriend made the outraged face at me about the ticket price. So I'm debating which to do.

FYI if anyone is a fan of Haujobb they're supposed to be playing in NY the night before Underworld. No official venue or ticket sales yet though.

[potatobroth]

Luckly the Cyclone will still exist after the remodelling. That ride is scary as all hell.

Too scary. I've become quite a roller-coaster wimp as i've gotten older.

See post #1 for updates on who is going and who is thinking of going (and a blatant abuse of my mod powers. so sue me). If youre going, or have strong intentions then let it be known here! :)

haha. only 10! they are for me, 4 big underworld fans (not on these boards) + their significant others, and one friend who just stumbled onto them this past year. He is going head-first into a live performance... must be nice. :)

lets just all be thankful that the show isnt this week. holy hell its hot in the city today. its gotta be 90degrees already and its only 10am.

[holden]

So, this is gonna be a massive DirtyMeet in Central Park?! :D
It will be so great to finally associate faces with your legendary names!

We'll have to cook up a great banner or suitable dirty garb...

[sunflowereye]

Can't wait for this performance! Got an entire crew from GA & FL coming! Anybody got any useful links to other happenings that weekend, i.e. clubs, etc.? Should be something goin' on after the UW show ends esp. since it's a Fri in NYC.

[samralh]

Yup, I just went to Coney Island a few weeks ago. Was pretty fun, Ima miss it. Luckly the Cyclone will still exist after the remodelling. That ride is scary as all hell.

I did the cyclone last year. It really was friggin scary. I road it alone too.

[kissmywound]

I bought tickets the day they came out, and will be there with 6 other big fans (7 total). Can't wait, this is going to make my year.

Or, is there anywhere that should be steered clear of, to stay?

Thanks much! :)

[ndrwrld]

samralh and i are staying with a friend in Brooklin for the weekend, and will be taking the ' tube ' around.
so yeah, this is shaping up to be one hell of a dirty meet.
and the Coney Island thing sounds sweet.
i understand the Central Park gig will shut down at 11 pm ( noise restrictions )...
i do hope we'll be getting a 2 hourish set from the boys.

I'll be there, with bells on. (What does that mean, anyway?)

Ok, I bought my ticket and am going for sure, with others. Still need to convince the gf to go because she's not into 'that type' of music.

Squee! Got my tix for 2! Now just need to book the flight/hotel.

Long time DirtyGirl coming out of hiding as well; I remember being a 17-year old brat with a huge dirtymeet sign at the Santa Monica show for Beaucoup Fish back in '99; then seeing them at the Wiltern in LA for AHDO. The only reason I don't have the honor of seeing them at the Hollywood Bowl is because I don't live there.

Much thanks and appreciation to anyone who knows enough about the venue to give us the scoop on what to bring/not bring, as well as the duration of a typical Central Park show and whether we'll be dancing in dirt, etc. I'm actually working out at a gym 3x a week now just so I can get in shape to handle 7 hrs of dancing and sweating when the show comes.

[mkb]

Hey, I've decided to just go to the Boston show. Does anyone want my 2 tickets? I'll sell them for face value so you can avoid the silly service charge. PM me if you do.

[TheBang]

Finally got my plane tickets. Flying into Boston for a few days. Head on down to NYC for a few days and the show, then back to Boston for that show, and then head home. Whooo hoo!

[sunflowereye]

Found a 17th floor penthouse suite with terrace just three blocks from the park on W 73rd St for fairly reasonable rate for NYC. Can't wait!

PS -

For anyone that has an ounce of energy left after UW I also found out that Danny Tenaglia & Lee Burridge are playing the official afterparty!

[ndrwrld]

PS -

For anyone that has an ounce of energy left after UW I also found out that Danny Tenaglia & Lee Burridge are playing the official afterparty! ounce of energy + $70 per ticket.
yikes.
screw that...im seeing Boys Noise in Brooklyn friday night.
and lee Burridge is in Toronto in October.

[sunflowereye]

$70 per ticket.


That price is for both the UW show & the afterparty. I was able to purchase the afterparty tix for $24 apiece (with service fee). Tenaglia, Burridge & "Border Community" side room w/ Holden & Fairmont -live (Jake Fairley) sounds good to me.

[Lounger]

put me on the confirmed list. even though ive yet to buy the ticket i know it wont be sold out this sunday. i will be there with bells!!! please dirts, where do you plan to meet up?

[Lounger]

also i live in nyc and if anyone needs help getting around check out mta.info for the subway maps and isubwaymaps.com to download them onto your ipod or iphone and if you guys want to get to the venue in the quickest time possible, check out hopstop.com and if you are staying in nyc, check out timeout new york (http://www.timeout.com/newyork/) definitely helpful for those out-of-towners. anymore help? just ask or send me a PM. hope to see you guys there!

[stimpee]

I'll be in NYC from 7th Sept to 17th so if any NYC'ers want to meet up, I'll be up for a beer. King Of Snake will be around and possibly the Roth also. Just PM me and we can exchange numbers.

[selector]

Does anyone have real answers on what's being allowed in? i.e. cameras, etc...
or, anything else for that matter? I see people had umbrellas for the friday PVD show.
And what gives with the sectioned off areas?

I'm going to be making the drive down to NYC for sure. But with the cost of the ticket its still up in the air as far as real admission.

So I just wanted to ask those of you who've gone to ticketed events at summer stage is it possible to hang out outside without a hassle? Or.... should I just knock over a liquor store tonight?

[Jason Roth]

yes sloff, you can hang outside the venue and hear the music

[The359]

I will be attending this event, have had my ticket for several months now. This will be my first Underworld concert and my first real concert overall! What a way to kick it off.

[Malt Refund]

Damn dude there are going to be so many Dirts here it's insane. Look for my brown Dirtyshirt everyonez, come up and say hi.

[galama]

Hi there. I'm an absolute Underworld fan, massive consumer of dirty radio and a fiend for the gentlemen's live sets. 8 more days...slowly and steadily creating a state of mind. Can't wait.

[Lounger]

is anyone bringing any cds to trade? or any memorabilia?

[corryn]

Heya... longasstime fan, newly resurfaced forum lurker. I'm hoppin a plane from Minneapolis to NYC on Weds to catch this show with 5 friends. I'm seriously hyped up for a first visit to NYC and, more importantly, first Underworld gig. Hope everyone has a blast and I'll see ya on the dance floor (field?) :o)

[Arakias]

Anyways, I'm going to Underworld this Friday, its my 3rd time seeing them, last being at Giants Stadium (Field Day Fest) and I am very eagerly looking forward to it!

Also thought if might have been mentioned, as this show is outdoors, it will end by 11 I think as there are noise ordinances and such, so it would still be possible to get trains from Grand Central if you have to leave and go North of the city.

edit: ticketweb site lists times as 6-10 pm.

[loaded_tower]

First time poster...saw Underworld last in Seattle at the Showbox during the Beaucoup Fish tour. Looks like I won't be able to meet a friend of mine in NYC as planned so I'd welcome meeting up with some Dirties. Arriving on the 12th, departing on the 16th. If there is a Dirty meet, I'm down. Will be staying @ Times Square Hilton Garden Inn the entire duration of my trip. Definitely would meet up with some good people if they want to. I have a spare ticket to the afterparty as well should anyone need one but doesn't want to front the service charge. Can't wait!

[aNt]

i wont be there; i never get to go out :( - i bet its a good one! :) have fun all....

[lloyd]

aaah poor aNt

[TheBang]

So...where's the DirtyMeet? I'm Boston now, but heading down to NYC tomorrow.

[laerm]

Gates open at 4:30PM. James Holden starts at 6:00PM, and Underworld will come on at around 7:30PM and play until closing, which is 10:00PM.

So is there a meetup planned? Haven't done a dirtymeet in AGES!

[selector]

Seriously, how many dirts are coming to this show?

It's off the chains is all i know! :D

(well, mods?)

[sloff]

hey laerm I'm driving down from Buffalo. I thought I was the only WNY dirt left.

I've never done an "official" dirty meet. Just talked to some folks w/ a dirty sign at the 2002 Toronto gig. So I'd be willing, but since I don't live in the city I don't know enough to help plan.

edit: Who was it I met in Toronto anyway?

[irons]

Hello. I'm really new here, but I've been a fan of Underworld for a few years. The reason I'm posting in this thread is because I have a pair of tickets to see Underworld in NYC, but it turns out that I can't make it; I live in Boston and the timing won't work out (although I now have tickets to the Boston show!).

I'm willing to send the NYC tickets to anyone who wants them. I'd rather someone use them and enjoy it than they end up going to waste. Of course, time is tight, so I'll need a fast response. I'd prefer to send these to people who live somewhere in or near New England, since it will be assured that they will be delivered in time. Once I line up two recepients (or just one, if they want both), I'll send them tomorrow, overnight-style. Of course, I wouldn't mind some form of compensation (especially photos or whatever from the event), but as long as I pass these two tickets on to people who can make good use of them, I'll be happy, even if I get nothing in return.

If you're interested, send me an e-mail: jonirons@gmail.com, preferably with a subject like "Underworld NYC." From there, I'll contact you to get your address or P.O. box or whatever. It goes without saying that this is pretty much first-come/first-served :)

I hope to hear from you guys soon!

Very cool of you to do Jon:cool: I'm sure the person that takes the tickets will compensate you in some way!!

I haven't posted here in a Long! time but I'm making the trek from Rhode Island on Fri. Even meeting my ex-wife in NYC for the show!! Ahhh, the power of Underworld...

[irons]

I found someone who wants the tickets, but he hasn't responded to the e-mails I sent back to him. I am sort of afraid that my e-mail suddenly stopped working. If that's the case, and Mr. Miller hasn't received my replies, would he please contact me via PM here! Otherwise, check your e-mail! Time is growing even shorter.

Thanks!

Well, that's taken care of! The first person to show interest never sent word back to me, so I ended up giving the tickets to someone else who e-mailed. Sorry I was rather terse earlier, but I wanted to take care of "business" before I got too caught up in posting here. I was also sort of afraid I got a low response because no one believed me! I guess you hardcore fans have all had your tickets for months now, anyway.

I'm glad I'll get to see Underworld in Boston, at any rate :)

STIMPEE

WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU AT THE BAR?!?!?!? I met up with pretty much everyone, but then left at like 5:30 b/c I didn't want to miss James Holden.

aaaanyways... I'm just stopping off at the hotel at the moment (and trying to figure out if I should go to see Digweed or not)

the show was AWESOME

I can't remember the setlist very well... but I do know that they played

Leutin
Dark Train
Crocodile
Beautiful Burnout
Two Months Off
Pearl's Girl
Rez
Cowgirl
Glam Bucket
Rowla
Small Conker and a Twix + Nuxx
King of Snake
Jumbo

so... some definite similarities to the LA show, but with the addition of Dark Train, Rowla, and Pearls Girl - don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure there were some new improv's as well

...well this officially ends my absolutely insane week of traveling probably too far for two Underworld shows

actually - just traveling for shows in general... luckily, I've been able to see Daft Punk (finally) and UW (again)

oh - and my sister and I agree -> Karl looked EXACTLY like a muppet tonight. Like, when Kermit the Frog gets really excited, and flails his arms up
