Title: The best live track variations?
Post by: oHUTCHYo on Jul 15, 2015, 11:41
Just as Underworld do, I love how every years tour set brings something different, I say love, but also secretly hate as want the actual track variation so bad.

So what's your favourite live moment?

For me it is a hard choice of two;

2015 Glastonbury, the insane acid overlay on Under the Influence, amazing.  Click Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAj9QDQwFmw&list=FLovVxuwiruigP5DVeajGUXg)

The other, 1997 Glastonbury, again some great acid overlay on Three Birdies / Open Up

I remember hearing Temptation/Star Guitar (Live from Brixton Academy) for the first time on the American EP. Having been so in love with Star Guitar for such a long time, I never imagined it could get any better... Then those chords came in at 3:42 and it was like falling in love all over again.
Hearing those chords for the first time live brought actual tears of joy to my eyes. And now I sing them whenever I hear the original. They are perfect.

I really love the chopped up Music: Response stabs that they play before they properly start the track too.
Gling-gling... Gling-duh-gling-guhhhhhh.

The original setting sun live version (96/97) still blows my mind to this day then in (00) when they decided to emphasise a pulsating beat to it and strip it down more just for that in parts.

I had this on VHS recorded from a broadcast and recorded it to my minidisc player I loved it so much at the time. Theres probably a better quality version of it somewhere.

Saturate/Elektrobank/I'll See You There/Believe. Seriously this has to be my favorite part of the new liveshow. Saturate is as euphoric as ever, but it's marriage with Believe has been split. Instead,  we get the triumphant return of Elektrobank (which honestly i was so excited when i found out they brought it back), with Mark Monero getting strange again as he lip syncs to the psychedelic Keith Murray vocals, then transitioning into the pulsating synths and drumline of I'll See You There, which honestly as better layed out than the studio version, especially with it's freaked out, distorted, screeching synth ending (which i was hoping would be in the studio version) into Believe, which differs slightly from it's previous performances, especially with the middle buildup, but is still banging as hell, especially with the cameo of the Acid Father at the end! Again one of my favorite parts of the new show!  ;D

Temptation/Star Guitar is brilliant, Come With Us was a greate opening track in 2002, I also much prefer HBHG later on in the sets, don't always enjoy it as an opening track

Echoing your sentiments. This had been discussed not to long ago, and surprisingly a lot of people have mixed feelings on it. I think it's a huge hidden gem on the back end of the TPPR single.  A perfect taste of how they are masters at manipulating their own material.

Is it just me or did they re-sample the Elektrobank vocals? Heard them last night, was probably my highlight of the show but it sounded like Q-tip or something instead of the original distorted sample.

That visual though  :o

If you can track down the 2007 Concourse bootleg, the performance of Das Speigel during the encore is possibly the greatest version of Das Speigel ever.

I gotta go through all the live shows again and find those old favorites...

^ There's two encore performances from 2005 - one is very similar to Trafalgar but the other IIRC is a lot more tribal and dancey and really pounds.

Snow/STA is am all time fav of mine. gutted I never saw it live. on the same note I love the Further visuals, especially on that huge full width LED screen,  the square screen on this tour is just too small! :) I suppose the actual robots make up for it!

from the current set the elektrobank/ill see you there mix is great, along with the SIFSD/checmical beats mix, its epic.

I wish my memory of the shows from '97/'99 were better....

How great would it be for this to make a reappearance? Especially given how tripped out the new album is?

Ohhhh yeahh! Just listening to it and it's simply wonderful. They also improvised on the melody a little... It's also the only good quality recording of its live performance... One day, they need to put out all their live recordings which they hopefully stored somewhere. There are so many unique and versatile live moments, they cannot simply fall into oblivion never to be heard again.

The whole show is pretty amazing. It has Burst Generator, Surface To Air, We Are The Night and a whole fucking TWENTY MINUTES of Das Spiegel and The Sunshine Underground

Speaking of Live variations, I really love the outro (the last minute) of Surface To Air as it appears on the Live 05 EP

Pinkpop'96 had a great line up for dance enthousiast. The dance tent had EboMan, Orbital, Chemical Brothers and Underworld and closing act on the mainstage The Prodigy. It's a shame I wasn't there.
