Is it just me or doesn't a setlist mean the gig wasn't as improvised as it was made out to be? �� Just saying!

This.

And the setlist looks pretty similar to the one from their 2016 tour too... I don't quite get the improv fuss around this gig although I'd be the first advocate for more improv and less pauses between tracks on stage.

I've not listened past the first two songs yet, but they can choose songs and improv those songs, no? The bits I've heard definitely FELT different than the last few years, more like 07-09. I guess we will see what they do going forward. Whatever the case, the reception for this set has been phenomenal amd whatever they did differently they should keep doing... differently.

Yeah well, I guess it wasn't improvised on the fly as far as which tracks they played and in what order. But at least it felt more improvised within the tracks, there was some mixing together from one track to the next (although mostly still just a fade in/fade out) and it wasn't just playing straight album versions of everything but actually some interesting re-interpretations (like Between Stars and Air Towel).

So is it back to the old glory days of full improv sets? Certainly not. And if I were Underworld I would mix and mash it up a lot more than they do still, but it sure did feel better and "more Underworld" than most of their sets from the past 10 years.

Any thoughts why it has the wrong date ? Propably final rehearsel a week prior, or...

[Badger]

Anyone know what the new track "GWCW" is or stands for or is it nothing yet?

[negative1]

Is this discussion moving to moments, now that the tracks and listing are out?

i was looking for information over there, and didn't see anything.
