Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

The Fillmore is pretty bland. I'm sure it is cheaper so I can see some band manager looking at the sales figures and checking off the one that gets more $$, but Red Rocks is so much more interesting.

I'm pretty sure it was a numbers game that caused the venue change.

One bright side might be that I think Red Rocks has a more limited end time, so they might be able to play longer at the Fillmore. Still, if you're flying in for the event, it is probably time to look at trading in your ticket. Red Rocks can hold a candle to NYC and SF, but the Fillmore? no way.

I'm disappointed, I was really looking forward to the outdoors.

Red Rocks is usually a rain or shine...in fact, I haven't seen too many shows where it didn't at least sprinkle on you...it's just part of the experience...heh.

Summers in Denver usually include a late afternoon / early evening shower, but it's not too bad unless it's a true storm, then it can get nasty and windy.

I'm extremely disappointed that they moved this show to the Fillmore. I have nothing against the venue...it's not bad...in fact, Nine Inch Nails did a two night set there last year, but still, there's nothing to compare to Red Rocks, and experiencing nature, especially if you are enhancing your experience.

It's a LOT more intimate at the Fillmore, if that helps, but for me, I'd much rather see them at Red Rocks.

Damn...now I wish I had taken time off to go see the Hollywood Bowl concert or the Central Park one...grrr...wonder if I can still sneak out to either place and do it up right...

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

This is truly disappointing. :( We've been excited for months about Red Rocks. Let's hope the boys will give us an extra long set to make up for the change in venue. :D

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

Sorry to hear about the venue change. I saw how much some of you were looking forward to it. It's going to be a rad show either way though.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

Hey guys, will there be a dirts meetup before the show? I'll be there - I wanna be front row center for UW :)

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I think the email recall had something to do with missing ticket refund information in the first email. I think? I don't know. It still says the Fillmore on the Red Rocks site. Still. Fuck.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

The first email was recalled because it said Friday, September 11. They sent out another email confirming the venue change with the date corrected to say Tuesday, September 11.

I'm just trying to think of the bright side now... I think the sound of the Fillmore is better than Red Rocks, which can have some weird echoes. I can also take a bus to the Fillmore, so I can drown my sorrows after the show and not have to drive home. Hopefully that won't be necessary.

not happy about the venue change, but i guess we will have to deal with it. at least it's less than 2 mile away from where we are staying.

any decisions made on a dirty meet yet?

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I don't know about a dirty meet now. It sounds like some people are bailing out now, so I don't know who all is coming. I don't know what anyone looks like or where in the Fillmore would be a good meeting spot.

I guess you can all look for this schmuck inside. I'm planning on wearing my bright red t-shirt with Bruce Lee on the front. It's my "Underworld" shirt. :)

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

well me and my mates are gonna be there. one thing that's nice is its 8 blocks from where we are staying.

we are heading out tomorrow, hitting estes park and then coming back a couple hours before. i will call my denver res to see if there is any place close worthwhile.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I'm driving in Monday and leaving Wednesday. I'm staying in Aurora and plan to bum around Denver. I'm meeting up with a friend and his buddies at the show, and I plan on getting there at 6. I won't have internet access unless I find an internet cafe or library or something, so if nothing else, try to find me at the show.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I will be there! How do I get myself added to the picture list of dirts?

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I wanna meet some Dirts! I can't post a photo from my iPhone, but I'll be wearing an Anonymous Product shirt and a black corduroy Kangol cap.

After party anyone? :D

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

anybody want to meet up at Red Rocks? We could all play our favorite track on our iPod and dance like crazy. wouldn't that be fun?

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

so how was the show last night - I'm guessing a good time was had by all due to the lack of reports - fill us in dirts.

i had a buddy of mine send me a txt msg last Thursday asking about, "tomorrow!!" I had to break the bad news that we still had a week left. ;)

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

Who was the dirt heading out of Seattle this morning at 7:45? We shared a plane, I accidentally bumped into your foot with my suitcase when I showed up to the gate, and said sorry. Didn't notice the "OWB" shirt until you passed me on the plane.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

was simply amazing. they totally made up for changing venues ... told everyone at the show that bought a ticket they would get a free copy of the latest CD mailed to us on the date of release, and then played splendidly for 2.5hrs.

Amazing sound, amazing songs, amazing night. Even if it wasn't at Red Rocks .. I was 10 feet from them all night long. Simply amazing.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I would like to post two responses that I received from not only the promoters of the event, but the managers of Underworld in response to the open letter I posted, along with my reply.

I think it is important to see how much effort they put into satisfying the customer (and this excludes the free CD that Underworld themselves offered up!)

From P.L. @ LiveNation (Concert Producers)

Quote:

I have received your correspondence from Chaotica regarding the change in venue for the upcoming Underworld show in Denver. First and foremost, please accept my sincere and heartfelt apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused you. Our top priority is to always deliver a first-class concert experience to you, our patrons. As a company, we take very seriously our responsibility to give both the artists and the fans nothing less than the best.

Live Nation is privileged to book shows at this one-of-a-kind amphitheatre and truly understand what a magical and unique venue it is. At the same time, being both a huge fan of Underworld and having attended countless shows as both producer and patron, A tough decision had to be made in order to preserve the integrity of an event such as an Underworld show.

The decision to move the show away from Red Rocks was extremely difficult for all parties. After much deliberation all parties agreed that seeing Underworld in any venue without the energy, the crowd-noise and the excitement is simply not the Underworld experience. Moving the show to The Fillmore would allow the band to bring the most electrifying show possible with a full-house of fans going absolutely nuts. At the end of the day, fulfilling this promise is the ultimate goal of Underworld and of Live Nation.

As concert promoters as well as fans (I was involved in promoting the DEMF in Detroit the first 2 years and the Delta Heavy Tour with Sasha and Digweed and S_____ K____ the Denver Marketing VP worked at Asterlwerks for years), we are firmly committed to promoting unique and diverse events. I would truly appreciate the chance to speak further. It is my goal to keep you excited about the show and confident in Live Nation¹s ability to deliver a quality experience.

Again, on behalf of myself, S_____ K_____, and the Denver office our deepest apologies for this unfortunate situation. I booked this show as a promoter and a fan with every intention of it being a special event for everyone. I do hope to get the opportunity to be your gracious hosts on Tuesday at the Fillmore and would love to make your experience there memorable, if your inclined please ask for me when you arrive. Despite all the disappointment, one thing I know for sure is that Underworld will blow the roof off the place and I want you to be there.

My Sincere Apology,

P____ L_____-
President
Live Nation/Rocky Mountain Region

Dear Drew,

When you get to the venue tonight, please ask for P_____ L_______ at the box office, he will have VIP passes for you and will ensure you are well taken care of.

I hope that, despite your disappointment over the change of venue, you enjoy the show.

Best wishes,
C______ T_____

and finally my response:

[COLOR=navy][COLOR=navy]The effort that you all have showed towards making me a happy fan is truly amazing. I will spread the word that you all are doing everything possible to ensure the best experience for your customers. You have shown me the professionalism and customer service that is almost impossible to find in this day and age.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy][COLOR=navy]That being said, I just checked my e-mail and received the messages from both of you. Although I commend you on your wonderful response, I got it a little late. Nevertheless, I had one of the most amazing times of my life and was able to share it with my friend. We arrived 1.5 hrs early, stood in line, and got straight to the front, where we stayed all night. When Karl took the stage and announced the free cd of their latest release, that was the perfect start to the night. All night long I was no more than 8 ft. from the stage. It was one of the most remarkable concert experience I have had to date. [/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy][COLOR=navy]That being said, I wish to apologize for my hasty response, to the venue change. I know it was a difficult decision, but both of your companies going above and beyond for me has really made me have faith in you all. Thank you for everything, and thank you for making this show possible. It was well worth the trip. [/COLOR][/COLOR]

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

Wow, really cool show. Yeah Karl said we'd all be getting a free copy of OwB due to the fiasco of moving the show from Red Rocks.

Not exactly sure of the exact setlist, but basically this was it:

Dirty Epic
Crocodile
Dark Train
Beautiful Burnout
Rez/Cowgirl
New song? (Karl on guitar)
Can You Feel this Bass
Two Months Off
Spikee
Born slippy
King of Snake
Pearls Girl
Moaner

Encore: Jumbo

Somone else might be more accurate, I don't think I missed any though. It's late, I'm tired. But the show rocked, the crowd loved Rez/Cowgirl (as expected).

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

dude, that gig so ruled!!! overall i'm gonna have to say this experience was quite memorable over the warfield set. despite the venue change my mates and i made the most of our stay in denver... our host showed us around the area, got to check out red rocks (for kicks), the coors brewery, and the university of colorado to catch a little frisbee action. needless to say, seeing underworld properly punctuated the whole trip. our group added up to about 12 heads by the time we hit the fillmore... we were all glowing afterwards on the most natural of highs:) i was really digging on karl's guitar hero esque performance... would love to see more of that kind of shite down the road.

anyway...just got back into L.A. and am not looking forward to the 6hr. drive back to S.F. but, the memories from last night are still fresh and i'm looking foward to their company on the way home.

big hugs and much love to the boys for keeping it real and providing a clear map of inspiration for days to come.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

Anyone who didn't go to Underworld in Denver just because they weren't playing at Red Rocks anymore: fuck you. This show was amazing and even better because I was about 20 feet away from Rick, Karl, and Darren. They were on their A game and upped it a multiple of 10, and the Fillmore Auditorium was banging and rocking until it exploded. The set list as best as I can remember:

1. Dirty Epic
2. Crocodile
3. Dark Train
4. Beautiful Burnout (I think)
5. Rez/Cowgirl
6. Glam Bucket (I think)
7. Two Months Off
8. Spikee
9. Five Ft. Five
10. Born Slippy .NUXX (non-'03 version)
11. King of Snake
12. Pearls Girl
13. Moaner

Encore
Jumbo

Oh yeah, Karl had an announcement before the show. Anyone who bought a ticket for the Denver concert would be receiving in the mail a copy of their new album when it comes out! FUCK YEAH!!! Take that all you who pissed and moaned and dropped out of the show!

The show was made all the better because everyone there wanted to see Underworld so badly. My friend Jeff from work came down with three of his friends (he's crazy and it was awesome to have him there), and I mingled with people who flew from Iowa and Nebraska (I think) and a couple of guys who drove, not flew, from Georgia. Damn. That's dedication right there.

Yes, yes, you should've been there.

Hey, I think that's me on the left walking to the stairs! And I met those two dudes in the middle. They drove from Georgia to see this.

And that IS me in the red shirt!

Dude, we were practically next to each other! I think that's my head poking up on the left over the black hat, and I met that girl in the blue shirt there.

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I'm glad you all like the pics and even more glad that I could share them. I have some videos I will upload too :)

and if for some reason there is a bootleg of this show somewhere .. please for the love of god send it to me :)

Re: Underworld @ Red Rocks

I actually had brought a recorder down and planned on recording the show. The only trouble was when I walked by and noticed that they were giving a nice frisk to everyone. My recorder was a bit too large to just carry in my hand unnoticed, so I had to make the tough decision to leave it in the car.

Got my videos and photos uploading at the moment, now that I'm home safe. Got a gorgeous 3+ minute clip of Beautiful Burnout, and a closeup of Rick rocking out at the end of Glam Bucket.
