That dirtyirish tee is fucking deadly! I'll keep a look out for you, but if I don't see you, happy birthday (lucky bastard - UW haven't played my birthday, yet)!

There's good words on uwlive.com today...

haha - cheers bday was actually the 10th but hey it was only 10 days ago. having said that i was at the somerset house gig in london a couple of years ago which was on the actual day of my bday so that was sweet yeah nice to see karl mentioning this island of ours in a positive light. may see ya 2mrw - if not, i'm sure there'll be a full autopsy and analysis on here after the gig.

Happy B'day Irishboy - nice t-shirt by the way..

Nice to hear Karl mention the Irish gig as a kind of homecoming - man I
remember when they played the Bridge Hotel (Waterford) in 95 (my very first
Underworld gig) - 10 years ago now - and they're still go'in strong.
Go'on ye good thing (As we say on this side of the water)

I can remember that Somerset House gig also,
damn that was hot, great setting for a gig.

pull your fingers out guys! just meet at the sound desk in the afternoon. its not that hard. anyway, have fun. i can say that having seen UW twice and heard a few bootlegs this summer they have truly evolved during the last 8 or 9 weeks on tour into an awesome jamming machine.

Hey did anyone else hear about the Bud Rising people in town today handing out free chemical brothers tickets? The gig had'nt sold out so loads of freebes were going.

I wonder if the same is lined up for tomorrow.

Jaysus, didn't think there was anyone else on the boards who was at the Bridge (Breen's ) in '96 - just showing our age I guess.
Anyway if you see me in my 'begging for it' t-shirt be sure and say HI!!

Will catch up and assess next week...

[Ninja Power]

That's right, 96 - actually I think that was my 2nd gig.
Yeah - we're really showing our age alright, but who cares.
Bet nobody thought our guys would still be on top of their
game almost 10 years on. Pure class..

I can't make it to the Dublin gig this time around,
man I'm kicking myself so much.

Have a good one.

Was deffo my 1st, but only been to 2 more since. So all set for this one - B Jaxx should throw a party too.

I'll say hello for you!

[catsaregathering]

aw man i got bootleg babies shaking my entire house in preparation for this! I cant wait to see how they're evolved since i saw them in serbia! this is gonna be sweet, Underworld playing about a mile from my house!

So, any info on last nights gig?

How did it go?

OK, this is a first approximation.

Great gig. Not the best I've seen of them, but the new stuff sounds excellent live. There's definitely a 'new' sound emerging - the likes of 'vision c'mon' - and I have to say I like the sound of it.

Tracklist, to the best of my recollection (*not* to be trusted!):
Dark Train
Born Slippy
Pearls Girl
New/Improv with Darren Singing!
<hazy memory here - a new(?) dubby melodic piece that I don't recognise. I think they lost the crowd here somewhat...>
"Vision C'mon"
Cowgirl
King Of Snake
Two Months Off
Jumbo

~1hr 40min show, with lots of smooth transitions between tracks.

No green laser, but mind you it was probably too bright anyway.

Anyone know what the craic was with the kids on stage? Were they the lads kids? There was a ~10yo red haired girl dancing like a good thing for the whole show just off to stage right... I got to meet Neil (irishboy) too, which was cool - so a fairly minor dirtymeet happened. Well, sort of.

Right, more info when I sober up a bit more and memory comes back.
