Operation: Underworld Live

[holden]

Today, listened to a few shows from 1995:

Oh, i love those 20 minute improved jams and extended tracks! The 1996 shows are amazing (see the famed "European Club Gig", to be revisted soon), but they have a much more standard set of tracks. in '95 you can get Oich Oich alongside Spikee and the UW remix of the Chemical Brothers' "Leave Home"!

Ugh, that Leave Home remix breaks me with how incredible it is. Intense.

Get Lowlands '95 into you: it's a solid hour of hardcore jamming and improv, with gems like Born Slippy mixed up with Confusion the Waitress lyrics, Spikee/Leave Home, and a really stirring performance of Mmm Skyscraper.

Yup. listened to Lowlands 1995, and now am entering a stack of discs labeled 1996...from the first few relistens and from memory/checking the upcoming tracklists, this ithe year that Underworld built confidence - lesss improvs joining unknown tracks, more building and exploring a finite setlist:

for me, 1995 was them at their solid best live - do a set, have a dj break, come back and do some more - smashing

Inspired by this thread I gave the three-CD Tokyo gig on 25th November, 05 a spin and I have a new goal in life: party with Japanese techno-heads. Never heard a crowd as noisy, joyous and into-it as them! That bit where they're all cheering out in time with Spikee had me grinning like an idiot. A really cool mix of tracks played there, too - everything from Pricey's work (Aquafunk and Yard Beat are great), Riverrun tracks (Peggy Sussed and Lenne Penne) to old-school B-sides like Spikee and Rez to the classics like Juanita, Jumbo, Mmm Skyscraper... and the flawless transitions between King of Snake/Pearl's Girl/Push Upstairs were genius. Bliss.

Also, sorry to doublepost, and not strictly relevant, but:

I blogged about 'Big Meat Show' on the dubnobasswithmyheadman demo-tape, thought it'd be of interest to some?

[holden]

For whatever interest it's worth - i've arrived at the legendary European Club Gig of 1996. Oh, ithat gig's amazing...my two cents here:

speaking of UW live shows...

I put Roskilde Festival 1996 on my iPod for a jog, and surprisingly noticed that after "Rowla", Karl actually sings a line or two from "Big Meat Show"

Is that show (or, indeed, Roskilde 2000) available for download anywhere? I'd love to hear both of them, but can't find them on RTSR or anywhere!

Damn - this makes me want to get some live sets from my burnt CDs and go into a nostalgia overload.

"Confusion the Waitress" from the European Club Gig is epic! Oh my lord.

Yesterday night I listened to "Globe" (aka Holding the Moth) from the Cocoon set in 2006. Cannot believe I still remember Karl's spoken word about car stats in the intro. Only 15,000 made~. And "All These Things (In Me)" was amazinggg in the 2nd half of the UW set after Sven Vath's.

Good times~
