Underworld Live TONIGHT! (Roundhouse 28/2) - Page 3

I must say that I was NOT impressed by the organisation of the venue, especially for a dance gig.

The cloak room filling up long before the gig started, so we had to carry jackets, or stash them on the hall floor when dancing.

I also found that the bars not selling bottled water to be very stupid. Water and beer was only sold in open plastic glasses, resulting in people constantly having to go through a crowd of dancers balancing open drinks. Consequently the floor was soaked and slippy in places.

The building itself is great, the sound was clear, and Underworld played beautifully, but a little thought about how to run a live venue (for a dance gig, especially) would have made a the show more fun to be at.

wow, it only took me 4 months to (re-re-)register! it's nice to be back...
underworld last night were so good. and nice to get some feedback from karl today ("festival crowd").
the set was fantastic - spoonman, banstyle, spikee, cherry pie... god, it was fab! i'm slowly recovering from post-underworld euphoria...

Someone else can bloody do it tonight then, and I shall concentrate on having a good time. Stimpee has an iPhoney - should be easy for him.

OI! i gave you plenty of credit for the duration of the gig and for many hours after as i revised the setlist. i decided to take away all the extraneous commentary and just post the setlist. the only reason this thread will be useful is for people checking the setlist.

i'll re-edit to give proper credit.

Whoauw,
First time I saw Underworld outside the Netherlands(no 11). Was impressed by the building, the sound and the whole setlist. So pleased to hear Spoonman, Cherry Pie and Spikee. With the treasure of a live recording in my pocket I went back to the Netherlands next day. It has taken me days to recover from this magic moment. Thanx to Kirsty and Christian who invited me and showed me around London after the gig. Quiet an enjoyable adventure. Specially to see the fox in the streets.
Hopefully seeing you, Underworld, at one of the festivals (Lowlands!) this year.

Setlist has been updated in the first post to reflect what appears on the CD's.

wow ... I can't even picture KOS with Stagger lyrics...
was it the full set of lyrics? or just snippets (like how sometimes Karl will sing bits of "Spoonman" here and there)?

Mmm... thanks BLD for the setlist update... though, I'd love to know if this 1'42" before Banstyle has a name... not speaking about this amazing 2'20" improv before King Of Snake (or maybe it's "just" an intro, which could be the best intro for KoS I've ever heard...)

that first bit of Banstyle (45secs) was also used in Brussels between Cherry Pie and Spoonman.

edit: to be clear, the kick drums and bassline were not used in Brussels but the synth melody above it that starts just prior to the beats dropping out and the vocal sample coming in. that synthy melody was used between Cherry Pie and Spoonman at Brussels. i'm certain the 30-45secs of beats has been heard before but i can't place it.
