Underworld!
Went to the Hollywood Bowl last night to see Underworld. Paul Oakenfold with Carmen Rizzo opened for them, which should give you an idea of how big and respectable Underworld was in the '90s.
A most excellent show. A little light on the visuals, I thought, since they're well known for Tomato graphics playing across huge screens, and the Bowl is not an ideal place to have an electronic group (there's no room to dance with all those benches), but exhilarating. They played mostly stuff from their upcoming album and from A Hundred Days Off, which I know a number of Underworld fans aren't so hot about since it was after D. Emerson left, but they included enough older floorfillers to make it worthwhile. Remember "Cowgirl" from the Hackers soundtrack?
I actually saw Underworld live before I died. We actually danced between the benches to "King of Snake." Wonderful, wonderful.
