Underworld using Live?

I was reading the Ableton thing on Darren Price, and he talks about Underworld using Live. I've never seen Underworld live, but I have the Everything Everything DVD and they're using Logic (muting tracks and efx on mixerboard).

How are their Ableton Live sets now? Do they do more remixing or live arrangements? I also heard they use 2 powerbooks on stage? (w/ 2 backups)

I see Live on 2 laptops in those pics. And according to that article they've been using Logic for effects plugins. However these sources are a few years old so who knows what they've done with the stage setup for recent shows.

everytime I've toured with them it's been Logic on two laptops.

There are various links to info about the setup they use for their recent live shows on the forums at www.dirty.org
If memory serves, they haven't changed a whole lot from the way they used to do things, they've simply refined and added to it (like adding Live). The way they've done things for years was already very Live-like. That's one of the things that appealed to me about Live.
