new york, new york!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well, what can you say, it's been awhile, almost ...(checking
http://www.rowla.com/uwlive/ ) 8 years for me since i last
saw them here..
although, they have been to new york in 2002, and 2003 (didn't see
them then though...life kid).
it's kind of a restart for me...i haven't really been paying much
attention to their recent works (besides riverrun), or been
active posting....i'm not sure when i found out about the show,
but i bought 2 tickets way in advance, and have been eagerly
waiting for them to arrive ..
it was perfect weather, not to hot/cold outside, and it
was a nice small outdoor venue that suited them very well..
it was nice hearing some new songs in the works, and
also the old classics (although i would have preferred
a little more improvs though, oh well)....i thought having
darren price there would have eased up some of the
work for them..maybe not..
yeah, i'm 40 now..and maybe i'm a grumpy old man..
but just for the record, whats up with the standard
songs for US audience? i think its just that have such
limited time for their show, they really can't fit anything
else in there....but i really could have done without the
opening dj, that just put me too sleep..bring back
some variety in the setlist, otherwise its just underworld-101
for beginners!
also, whats up with the stage show? do we really need
all the lights / fog / lasers? the visuals were pretty cool
when they were up, but keep them going the whole time.
i don't need gimmicky stage props (as fun as the looked),
or fog clouding up the stage ....what is this a rock show?
and tell those darned kids to turn down the sound next time
(just kidding)...
anyways, i enjoyed seeing them back, and just as i am starting
yet another stage of my life, its interesting to see underworld
there doing another step for them..(underworld mk4)...
i'm looking forward to the new album and material for them..
and seeing what they have in reserve for the future..
later
