2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Quite a gift this morning! I thought something was afoot when the link from UWlive went to City Lights bookshop.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

what are the dates in SF?

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Sep 7, 8. They're listed on underworldlive.com

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

This may adjust my plans slightly now. If only they would come up to the Northwest now but once again it seems like SF is the closest they will get.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Why is there two dates in san fran and only one in LA? :(

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

SF clearly pwns LA. i wouldn't want to see Underworld in LA if i got free airfare and free tix. i'd rather pay money to see them in SF.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Apparently because Karl loves City Lights bookstore. ;) Must be something about beat poetry.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Oh awesome. You wouldn't even want to see underworld if everything was free. Great attitude :p

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

quite possibly the stupidest thing ive ever seen anyone post here.
really.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

maybe he got mugged in LA once

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Not easy to satisfy, are ya? ;)

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

BLD has never been one to shy away from controversy to make a point. Just take it with a pinch of salt and read between the lines. He doesnt like LA thats all.

I knew there were SF gigs coming but I wasnt allowed to say :) Still, i'd love to make it over there but its not gonna happen. I dont arrive in NYC til the 7th!:rolleyes:

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

i can understand not liking LA, but I think the hollywood bowl is a magnificent venue for the boys. i'd rate it just a hair behind red rocks as the best spot on the US tour.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

I can buy the argument that Red Rocks would be a great venue just for the sheer surrounding nature...but Hollywood bowl?...with a capacity of 17,416?

The Warfield is small and intimate (capacity 2250)...less than half the size of Brixton.

I think the coolest venue on this tour is Central Park, anyway. It's outdoor, natural and urban, and perfectly suits the Underworld aesthetic.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

any word on when tickets go on sale?

this is looking to be much better than the la venue...

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

I dropped my LA plans as soon as these two dates were announced. The venue is wonderful!

Furthermore, I saw the boys there in October 02, almost five years ago and it was perhaps one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Not only did they open with Luetin(!), they played Little Speaker which as far as we've all been able to discern was the only time it was ever broken out live(!!), but I met Rick and Karl before the show getting my photo with them and was down in front right in front of the board(!!!).

Alright, I'm a bit too excited about everything, but it was just such a damn memorable and enjoyable experience that I can't help it!

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

i feel the same way about the wiltern venue in LA 5 years ago. best show ever. so this year i was dissapointed with the bowl. so ill definately be jumping on this bandwagon....now just hopefully i can get some floor seats....no idea when they go on sale tho...

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

haha, i was up there with you (though neither of us knew it). i didnt get to meet 'em, but i did go pretty wild. great night.

if i can, i WILL overdraw my bank to see them at least once if not twice.
i practially shouted "oh shit" in a room full of younger cousins when i saw this.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Thats true dubman, you were also four people in front of me in line waiting outside the Warfield for about three hours, though, once again, neither of us knew it. You were first in line, If I'm not mistaken.

Are you planning on getting there that early again?

Yeah, I'm not quite overdrawn on this trip, but it's dipping into my a vacation fund to go see a friend in France early next year. But two shows of underworld is worth it.

dirty meet?

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

haha, oh man. i got there pretty damn early but i dont think i was first in line. i was closer to the strip joint where they were playing pearl's girl at a weird speed. if i was first in line my legs would have killed me by then.
dirty meet is more than possible, i'm trying to bug my friends to go with (since i basically did the same for one of them to see silver jews), they should be okay with it...
i'm not great with money so i'm a bit short, but i *will* find a way.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Maybe my memory isn't as clear as it once was, I always thought you were first or second in line.

hehe...that strip joint, they were playing a bizarre mix of music, and standing in front of it for about three hours was less than ideal. Then there were the crazies roaming about.

By the end of that show and standing in line my legs hurt, but it was worth it. I don't know if my friend I'm potentially going to attend with is going to be too keen on getting to the show so early. She was at the show in 02 and was shocked to learn how early I had arrived at The Warfield.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

I too was at that show...Didn't they also play a nice version of twist? The highlight for me was the guys playing Dirty Epic!
I thought the show at the Fillmore (just before Coachella) the following year was great too.

Tix must be going on sale soon for this...

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

I can't seem to find the email that I had transcribed the setlist but it was a pretty great and solid show. Luetin, dirty epic, and dark train were the highlights for me. There was no Pearl's Girl or Dinosaur Adventure 3D, but Little Speaker made up for that.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

something did feel off though, especially at dirty epic (which was great because we were *screaming* for it and he just bows and it kicks in), he'd have a go at moving around a bit and then just stop.

made sense later when he updated uwlive and said he was feeling a little sick.

hopefully all will be well.

if it was me then, i was 6'4" with long hair. i've cut it since..

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

has this been scaled back to only one date? uwlive lists the 7th twice, and ticketmaster/livenation only lists the 7th as well?

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

http://www.livenation.com/event/getE...ventId/293878/

waiting for updates

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

yeh...just lists the one date.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

looks like i'll be joining you gents too... being that my flight for the redrocks gig leaves the day of the bowl show. feels like i'm betraying my home town, but the bowl has been a hit and miss too many times to even keep track. here's to s.f. woot!!!

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

UWlive fixed now to show 7th and 8th...still haven't found anything on when tix are on sale, but it looks like two nights are still on.

EDIT: Tix on sale Sunday morning for the show on the 7th.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

OK. I booked my flight and hotel for myself and 2 friends.

Does anyone know how large the GA section of the warfield is? Is it fairly large? Do you think itll be hard getting floor seats?

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

If you're quick on the draw Sunday morning, you'll be fine to get floor seats...far larger than the upstairs seating.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Went to underworldlive.com today and saw the SF show! Made my week.

However, I'm only seeing one SF show on the 7th, not one on the 8th like previously mentioned in this thread.

For those in SF, if you go to the Fillmore box office on (any) Sunday, you can get tickets without a service charge. I'll be there Sun morning!

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Hey All,

presale is on today.

http://www.livenation.com/event/getE...ventId/293878/

use the password INDIE in the ticketrush box for early access.
it seems as though theyre only selling the floor, which seems to be general admission.

all tix are 50 bucks, and the tix i got were...
section FLOOR, row G1, seat 15/16/17

so i THINK thats in the pit. can anyone clarify?

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Thanks for the code, Euro! Just bought mine as well.

Yeah, at the Warfield, if you have "floor" tix that gets you anywhere on the first level....the pit, the standing "tier" above the pit, or the bar "tier" above that.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

Thanks for the code Euro, I just bought my ticket.

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

nice one euro, its so on for the 7th:)

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

we were a bit too early to announce the 2nd show... it's still on
promoter thingy...

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

How do I access the ticketrush box so I can buy tickets?

Re: 2 San Francisco Shows Added
 

.

wait, so the second show is still on?
