atlanta

[charleswise]

Long time lurker, infrequent poster, just wanted to share my story here. I was luck enough to meet Rick, Karl and Darren before the show and just wanted to say what nice guys they are. I was waiting around while they soundchecked and Rick and Darren came out first. I approached and asked if I could get my Live in Tokyo 2005 cd signed and they were happy to oblige. I then asked Rick if I could get a picture and he said sure but if I waited a couple of minutes I could get one with both Karl and himself. While waiting for Karl, I had about a five minute conversation with Rick about Atlanta, the South, their travel plans, and U2. Karl then came out and I got my picture (taken by Darren) and cd signed. As they were leaving I asked if there was any chance they could play Dirty Epic and Rick said maybe but he couldn't promise anything. Seeing as they did play it, I would like to thanks them for that as well. Here are some pics and me and the guys and my cd. Took a lot of other pics and I'll try to put online soon.

ahh, thanks. i couldn't remember what intro was played to rez/cow...wasn't there a short intro? it didn't sound terribly familiar, so i thought maybe bamboo. guess not. no worries. yeah, it's interesting to see their setlist and then how it changes on-the-fly during the show. thanks for keeping me straight!

i'm so retardedly jealous.

also if you're the reason they decided to throw dirty epic in there, you're a god among men.

also you should share rick's thoughts on atlanta. because i kept thinking, i hope they get to drive around a bit and see spring here. because my god the flowering trees are freaking amazing right now.

lucky man

Where did Karl's pupils go?

That's cool...

I wouldn't have minded saying 'hello' to the band but in all honesty I got such a kick out of seeing them on stage smiling and so obviously loving what they do that that more than sufficed.

Is it true that this is the first time they have played in Atlanta? (I've only been here 4 years but have seen them countless times in the UK)

GREAT show! What an emotional night. So many technical problems, and yet Underworld still managed to pull off the best show I could possibly hope for.

Watching the boys up there last night was like watching captains sailing a ship that had sprung several leaks. Mic doesn't work? Pump out an amazing long Darc groove session. Pitch changes without warning? Turn it into a menacing version of Born Slippy.

The crowd was GREAT, the sound system was GREAT, and Underworld was GREAT! And, oh yeah..

I GOT TO TOUCH A GIANT INFLATABLE GLOWSTICK! YE-UH! Yes, I was the one bouncing it

Oh, and I met a really cool guy there who traveled from Colombia and seemed to know all the lyrics. Would he happen to be a member of this forum..?

Edit: Second aside - Would anyone happen to have copies of Karl's last couple of diary entries? I've been without internet a couple days. Ok, last aside - I was up front (where pretty much the only thing you can hear is bass) so does anyone know what Karl said in his Atlanta poem? Thanks

Hey me too, I was the one who practically caught it/stopped it from smacking some peoples heads initially....then everyone started trying to pull it into the crowd and bounce it up, but that tech guy snatched it back REAL fast. FUN!!!!

Most of you there probably saw me - I was right up front on the left side of the stage with a shaved head, glasses, and a newly purchased black UW shirt - I was jumping up and down most of the night like a crazed maniac. I was also the one yelling "FUCK YEAAAAH!" really loud a few times during the night.


The energy was insane in there!



Once again, Thank You So Much Underworld!!!!! Come back soon!

Here's a 12 minute video of Juanita that night. I apologize for the sound, as soon as TheNetwerk releases the audio he got that night, I'll redo the video with his sound.


Edit: Video removed until the audio can be redone.
