Bodiam Castle - England (cancelled "Mystery Venue" concert)
[ "The concert
was organised by FINAL SOLUTION and coaches were due to
leave Speakers Corner, Marble Arch, London at 4.30pm. It was billed as
NEW ORDER & GUESTS. To this day I do not know where we were going
but the rumour was a castle in Wales and it was cancelled because the
grounds were flooded. I would be grateful if anyone could shed some
light on this". Courtesy of Christopher Wood.
Peter Munnery heard
rumours that the secret venue was actually a
castle in Kent. A moot point really, since the concert was cancelled,
but thanks go out to both of you for the info.
"The mystery venue was not in Wales. It was Bodiam Castle in Kent. The weather was
not good that day, very rainy, and by the time we got there the road crew had set up
the stage - imagine a square and the stage would have been across one corner, but
their opinion was that due to the general wetness and the rain driving into the
equipment it would not be safe to play. Accordingly, after much discussion, the
gig was cancelled, ticket holders were given a ticket for free entry into Heaven a
day or 2 later, and we made our way back to London and went our separate ways." ]

It was New Order's first US gig... after Ian Curtis' suicide had halted Joy
Division's scheduled US tour. Nonetheless, some bastard yelled "Where's
Ian?" as the drumulators and other synths kicked in. (Hooky replied with a
"F*** off!" that was met with cheers. "Confusion" was new to everyone at the
time. The volume seemed to double in the middle of "In a Lonely Place" and
the band had enough sound gear for a space twice as big as the cramped 688.
The X and the trip kicked in just in time. It was epic... and unforgettable.
I have a bootleg cassette of the gig... somewhere."
Mega-thanks to Mark Bedford for
recalling the famous 688 gig for us! Even if he
wasn't aware of New Order's 1980 and 1981 Stateside visits ]

towards the audience and reminded them of the Rotterdam gig some years

came on and the roadies were packing away the gear. Someone must have said
something out of line because one roadie jumps down from the stage chasing a
guy in the audience arms and fists all over the place quickly followed by another
roadie to make sure of it. Barney was blonde that night and the computers were
playing for about five minutes before the band came on. The stage was an

was totally sold-out. The atmosphere was electric and audience
expectation was palpable as they walked on stage. The start was
fantastic as Barney picked up his axe (err, melodica) and launched
into "Your Silent Face" backed by a tremendous wall-of-sequencer
sound. They then quickly moved into Sub-culture; with Hooky
unleashed the crowd went gaga and stayed that way for the rest
of the gig.
My indelible moment is just before The Drums start in Sunrise.
My brother is slightly ahead of me in the crowd and he has jumped
so far into the air in anticipation of this moment that the whole top
half of his body is visible above the rest of the crowd :-)
Barney quote before final encore (paraphrased) "Does anybody
know what today is? Come on, some one shout it out" (note: it
may or
may not be significant that it was past midnight at this point).
They played "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and the audience
goes even more gaga (if that were possible)."
