2016-04-20 Terminal 5 - New York, NY

[cdave2]

About the spare ticket I'd mentioned earlier: My friend said she would sell it for "$35 or best offer," so if you know of any potential UW converts, this might be a good way to get them started. It is an e-ticket so it will be easy to transfer. Please PM me if interested. Thanks!

Ok cool! Unfortunately my custom made Underworld tee took a major beating at the last Ultra Music Fest that they played and it's not up to par for wearing out anymore lol. So I'll be in regular gear. But my wife and brother will be with me, so a party of 3 is pretty easy to spot.

I think there'll be 5 of us together at the start. all in our late 30s early 40s should be there ~5:30-6.

Sounds good, wife and I are in our thirties. My brother is the young gun of our group, he's mid twenties.

I'll be easy to spot tonight, found the ultimate Underworld shirt in NYC today - a replica of Karl's white/black striped shirt! Lol

i'll be riding solo (due to a date mix-up) but super excited, 4 more hours!

Hi all –

Any thoughts on what time they go on tonight? Based on the west coast shows, I'm guessing 9 (doors at 7).

So - that was awesome.

Similar setlist to California, but without Dark Train - I think the rest was intact... the band were, as always, excellent.

Terminal 5 - less so. Had never been - a little cavernous and echo-ey... but still, for me anyway, a great night.

Overall it was great to see the boys on stage doing their thing. I'm well into the teens for times I've seen them live and they really looked like they were having fun.

Terminal 5, with it's newly revamped sound system was decent. It wasn't great. The sound for the opening act sounded crisper than UW.

Almost all album tracks were played as they are on the album with the exception of KoS and Ring Road.

High Points:
1) KoS - This was massive! The crowd was PUMPED for this one. Just awesome from start to finish.
2) Rowla - brilliant as always, but missed that screechy bliss from past shows.
3) Rez/Cowgirl - Rick was in his element yet again.
4) Nuxx - This is what should have followed KoS. Really. KoS took us to a new height and then dumped us into the biggest flat dud of the night, Faxed Invitation.

Low Points:
1) Faxed Invitation. Seriously, this had the crowd as uninterested as possible especially coming after KoS which brought the crowd WAY up. What a killjoy it turned out to be. Should be noted that I love FI on OwB.
2) Dirty Club. Yup, I said it - it fell really flat for me. It wasnt the bliss of Dirty Epic nor the fun of Dirty Guitar. It was in-between.
3) Kiteless - this was pretty much exactly as the album, but live it went on forever.
4) Moaner - it should have been the closer, but instead wasn't even in the set.


Biggest Surprise for me:
1) Nylon Strung really worked well for me live. Great vibe from it.

Anyone else notice that all the new shows have completely cut out anything from Barking

edit: oh yeah I forgot my review of the show:

I was really excited to hear the new mixes/version of Ring Road and Dirty Club. I completely agree with PotatoBroth on the high points... not so much on the low. I mean they recently talked about in interviews, specifically Karl and his body not wanting to go that crazy anymore. I liked the chill moments... what I found annoying during Faxed Invitation was the crowd not caring and talking loud.

Yes I really wish the boys would introduce REAL improvisation back into the live show.
