Tidbit from Roger Lyons from Lionrock, who is responsible for the live programming on New Order's current tour:
...even as I am writing this I am importing a New Order Gig (Liverpool 2001) from 40 track ADATs and I would like to do a surround mix of this in Nuendo.
From Ceremony@monkey.edu:
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 09:43:06 +0100
From: "Dave Stephenson"
Subject: (Fac33) Erm, some sort of NewOrder gig
Ow.
I'm in pain cos I've just been crushed at the front of the best NewOrder gig I have seen. OK, so the only ones I've seen are Reading 98 and Ally Pally before this one but OH MY GOD!
Opened with Atmosphere as a tribute to Rob Gretton and Hooky's Mum, then went on through a bevy of new and old tracks including Every Little Counts, Love Vigilantes, Crystal, Blauer Montag (of course), 60MPH and more which I can't be arsed to write out but I'm sure the set list will i appear somewhere soon.
Corgan didn't piss me off. He didn't say a thing all night and was only really audible on Turn My Way, Ruined in a Day and Blauer Montag - and even then his vocals were only apparent on Turn My Way, his guitar on Ruined in a Day and Blauer Montag.
Hooky was fucking loving it as usual, walking head down into Corgan, winding Barney up and stomping around the stage. Barney even looked as if he was enjoying himself too.
The new album sounds VERY good live. Not sure about Turn My Way or Slow Jam but Crystal and 60MPH just rock. It's gonna be a good one.
People of note spotted at the front include Andy Robinson and that roadie who looks like Arthur Baker and appears in The Perfect Kiss video.
The Olympia was a fantastic venue too - nice and small. But we won't even mention the, erm, After Show Party. Oh dear.
I think Barney summed it all up best when he said - "Woooo!"
@ Happy Jack
Transcription(s):
From 192mbps mp3 of DAT apparently recorded backstage...which was
missing the Alan Wise intro, which I have on another version of this
show (very likely the same source, confusingly
enough).
Intro
AW: "Now I know the band's been away, they've been a way a long time, and I don't know [this Allannah?]. Let's face it, they've been surpassed by better talents like the Spice Girls. Yes, so I took a look around, and then I thought, 'Why don't we get rid of all the blokes in the band and have an all-girl band. That's a bit better, innit? By the way, hello to Mrs. Smith, lemme see... John Smith, Dave Smith, and the wankers from Hollywood or something. Right, I want you to welcome now then, the new all-girl band from Manchester, the ladies of the JOY DIVISION."
Loud cheers and cries for New Order. The MP3 recording starts after Bernard greets the audience.
Atmosphere
BS: "Hello. Feels like we've never been away. Please welcome...Billy Corgan...and Phil Cunningham, our new guitarist for tonight. Hope you're gonna enjoy what we're gonna do...cuz we certainly are. Let's have a great time! [hooky chuckles] Here we go."
PH: "Just a sober moment, this is for all the people that can't be here, this for Becky, Rob Gretton, and my mother, God bless them all!"
Barney whoops a few times during this song. He stopped doing this after the backlash against his overexuberance at what is supposed to be a dirgeful ballad.
BS: "Thank you. Thanks a lot!"
Slow_Jam
BS: "Okay, this is a song off our new album, which is called Get Ready, and the song's called Slow Jam, hope you like it!"
Audience member yells out something "sure we will..."
BS: "So listen carefully..."
This version is faster and more guitar-based, and missing the synth squiggle. Mix has Barney's vocals move from right to center and back again...don't know if the taper was moving during the first verse.
Some wah-wah guitar near the end. And Hooky can clearly be heard doing the ending chorus.
BS: "Thank you, you're very patient..."
Crystal
BS: "Okay, this is another new one. but you have to be patient cuz we're gonna play a lot of songs for you tonight. We're gonna play for a whole hour and a...hour and a half, which by our standards is a very long time. [guitar chord]. And by the end of the set, by your standards it'll be a very long time as well."
Piano into for Crystal starts.
BS: "This is Crystal, our new single. You've not heard it yet?"
Somebody yells "Hooooookkkkky!" at least twice.
Drum backing seems to be a bit different, vocals are low in the mix and a bit off. Plenty of whoops, though. "You shock me to the core, ooh, yeah!"
BS: "'ak you." [guitar/bass strum] "Oh, it wasn't bad, wasn't it, was it all right?. All right, now we're playing...after we bored you with those new songs, we're gonna play something you know now. "That's how we know it as well."
Regret
BS: "Jeremy, make sure I hear the click, please."
Volume levels go up and sound is clearer...
BS: "Woo! Thank you!"
Audience starts chanting "New Order, New Order, New Order!"
Love_Vigilantes
PH: "This one is for your dad. Prin(?) God bless..."
punter: "Go on 'ooky lad, go on 'ooky!"
Somebody actually calls out for Transmission...
Barney can be heard quietly testing out his melodica playing!
BS: "Excuse my rather large embarrassing melodica.. I have got a small one, but it's not the size that counts, is it? Okay, this is Love Vigiantes."
Song plays. Good version.
BS: "Woo!
Isolation
BS: "It's a bit hot, innit it? [heavy guitar riffing and feedback]
Audience member calls out "Hooky!"
PH: "Yes...was there something?"
BS: "Okay, we're gonna reach back into the annals of history now. This
is sung by Joy Division, it's called Isolation."
BS: "'ak You"...song closes out.
Your_Silent_Face
PH: "No...do I wanna know how big and how fucking ugly you are? NO."
BS: "This is another one that features my instrumental prowess on the
melodica. I learned it at school. Very interessting fact. Ok."
Song starts.
BS: "We're playing all our old favorites tonight. Jump up and dance
to 'em."
Hooky, et al. help with the "Why don't you PISS OFF!".
(at the end)
BS: "Thank you. I've always liked that song..."
[note: some versions have KW1 and Turn My Way transposed]
Turn_My_Way
BS: "Okay, I'm afraid we're got time to inflict you with some of our
new songs. This is called 'Turn My Way'." Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hang
on...boys, hang on...featuring Billy on vocals, well done..."
(audience members cry out "Billy Corgan on vocals!", which is to whom
Barney address "well done to", as well as a "c'mon Barney, lad")
PH: "He's very shy."
BC: "All right guys..."
A portion of the performance of Turn My Way made it into the 511 DVD,
very cool. Sounds like a tape edit at the end, odd considering this
is the 21st century and this was supposedly a DAT recording..
BS: "Thank you."
Close_Range
Edit in the tape. Nice drum intro.
The mp3 version cuts off at 4:07.
BS: "Thank you, that reminds me of when I used to be a punk."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Oh my, it's hot. Especially down here. Touched By The Hand Of
God."
Hooky sings one of the "It belongs to you" refrains. Also some wah-wah
guitar in the earlier part.
BS: "'ak you."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
PH: "This one is for your hopeless romantics..."
BS: (at the same time as Hooky) "Do you know how...do you know how
fucking hot it is up here?"
Audience member cries out "How hot?" (presumably the guy that's been
heckling throughout)
BS: "I tell you, it's hotter up here than it is down there. [mumble]
You'll find out cuz you're gonna be on this fucking stage at the
end of the show. Okay, here we go."
(after)
BS: "Thank you. Woo!"
True_Faith
More "New Order!" chants.
BS: "Thank you. Having a good time? Not supposed to happen at our gigs,
yer out of order!"
The opening bass sounds absolutely massive.
BS: "'k you! Wonder where that came from? I see you all getting into it
a little bit now..."
Temptation
BC: "Um..."
PH: "You'll have to scream a little louder."
BS: "Whoo. Oh yeah, this is Temptation."
You know the audience is singing along...and this is a "last fucking
time" version too.
BS: "Whoo...thank you...wicked, man. Ok, Hooky, you were standing on the
the bloody half of the stage as well..."
Tape fades...then the last sentence above is repeated.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "Hey, he gets all [hot] that I'm enjoying meself. Still a miserable
twat, isn't he? (think he's talking about Bernard, not Corgan!)
"Come over here."
BS: "How about we all get started tonight...Billy."
Hooky yells out "C'mon!!" during the second chorus.
BS: "Thank you.
Bass feedback at the end.
Encore
Ruined_In_A_Day
BS: "Sorry but Hooky had to put some Savlon on his ass. Only joking!
We've enjoyed this so much we'd play the whole set again for you..."
PH: "...But you've gotta pay again, so c'mon."
BS: "One two one two..."
Audience member (sounds like Alex!) calls out "Hooky, 60 Miles An Hour".
Somebody else says something, it's that presumably what Hooky is responding
to.
PH: "No, it's about 120 at the moment, how's yours?"
BS: "Okay, let's go."
They play a nice version.
BS" "'ak you."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
PH: "Ehh, this one is for my daughter Heather, it's here first day of
work today, she did very well."
BS: "Ok, this is 60 Miles An Hour."
Which they go ahead and perform...ends in a howl of feedback and wah-wah.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Eh, thank you. Okay, this really is our last song. I wanna
see if you can guess what we're gonna play. Someone said Blue Monday.
Yes, you're right. See me after, and I'll give you a prize."
(Heh, that was classic)
BS: "Actually, it's called FUCKING Blue Monday now cuz I'm FUCKING
sick of it. Only joking."
Hooky exclaims during the bridge "must be me!" Corgan's guitar can
be very faintly heard throughout.
Song ends in bass feedback and a synth wash.
PH: "Good night every-body!"
And that's it.
Penis references, slaging off Blue Monday, audience putdowns, they've still
got it, folks!
Transcription of streaming webcast...the video's not very watchable,
and the audio is muddy and monaural, given low encoding bitrate
(24kbps for the music). Still, way better than nothing.
Needless to say, the transcription of this one was particularly
difficult. Hopefully, I can get my hands on a higher quality
version at some point in the future.
Assuming the webcast aired the performance in sequence, the song order
was the following (giving the song titles as listed):
Atmosphere
(encore)
Ruined In A Day
BS: "Hello, we're New Order. With our new guitarist... [and ?word?
?Phil Cunningham?] (can't make out exactly what he says here)
Atmosphere
BS: "And...we're gonna start off with a Joy Division song. It's
called Atmosphere"
PH: "For all the girls at East/West, thank you."
The synth has a interesting shimmering effect. Annoyingly, Bernard
whoops a couple of times, although this was more pronounced at the
Shoreline performance (31 Jul 01) than here.
Song finishes...
BS: (Whoop!) Thank you. Thank you. Great to be back in Japan after
all this time. Jerry, can't hear the top of the kit too well, and can
you turn the gate up on my earphones."
The webcast differs from the setlist in that Slow Jam doesn't appear
here but later on, after KW1.
Crystal
BS: "All right, from the very old to very new, here's our latest single,
called Crystal."
They play the 6+ minute extended version rather than the more abbreviated
version played at the West Coast gigs.
BS: "Thank you, thanks a lot."
Regret
BS: "That was all right, wasn't it. It wasn't shit, anyway?
And, er, from very old to very new, to just a little bit old,
this song's called Regret.
BS: "Make...[can't understand this part]...the quick."
The end of this song gets flubbed somewhat.
BS: "Eh, hank you. Come to think of it, that's not a bad song either."
Love_Vigilantes
Melodica playing, f
BS: "Okay, we right, we right, yeah..."
PH: "You all set, Billy..."
BS: "Billy-o!"
PH: "He's nervous tonight, he's not played in front of big crowds often,
so you have to forgive him."
BS: "Okay, let's go"
Song ends with bass feedback, as Bernard 10q's.
Isolation
BS: "Okay, this is a Joy Division song, it's called Isolation"
The song is performed.
BS: "Thank you. Domo Arigato!"
BS: "Ok ok, having a good time? We're having a fucking great time here in
Japan, it's a great country. Who said that flattery will get you nowhere?
Me."
Hooky says something off-mic.
Your_Silent_Face (labelled KW1, naturally, on the setlist)
BS: "Okay, this is your Silent Face, get the DJ to turn the fucking music
down over there, you twat."
Bernard busts out with the melodica! I personally welcome the
return of this song to their live set.
And it looks like somebody turns down the vocals on Barney when he
says "piss". (part of the 'Why don't you piss off?' lyric). The audience
recording is of course unimpeded.
Slow_Jam
BS: "All right, we're gonna play a song...okay, this is a song off our new
album called Slow Jam."
Nice feedback at the end.
BS: "Thank you!"
Turn_My_Way
BS: "Okay, this song..next song features Billy. This song features Billy on
vocals, and is off our new album, called, eh... what's the new album called,
Hooky?"
PH: "Get Ready..heh heh."
BC: "Get Ready..yeah"
[some trading of 'Get Ready's passes between the band members]
BS: "Get ready, get ready, yeah. And it's 'Turn My Way'!"
(at end)
BS: "'ak yew"
PH: "The boy done good!"
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, we're gonna now play something that you all know and love...hopefully
love. It's called Bizarre Love Triangle."
After the first verse, Hooky yells out "C'mon cheer for Phil!"
Close_Range
BS: "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...I'm wrong again, I'm wrong again...
uh...fuckin' hell. ...it takes you out here. When you get to our age..."
PH: "Fuck off..."
BS: "Alright, this is another one off our new album, but you're sick of hearing
these new songs you've never heard before... one day believe you me, you will come
to love them...it's called Close Range, take that fucking capo off now."
I like this one quite a bit.
BS: "Thank you, thank you. Yes, Roger, I didn't notice that was the wrong one."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Okay, the next one is called Touched By The Hand Of God...and it's about
Hooky's bass guitar. There Hooky, a rare compliment, a rare compliment."
PH: "Very rare and few in between, but I fucking loved it!"
(at end)
BS: "You're copied my chord there. Yes, what do you want?"
PH: "The switch to the other [two words] fucking broke that one."
[Not sure what this was about]
True_Faith
BS: "This is...er, True Faith. New version. Hope you like it. We do."
Hooky squeaks and mutters quite a bit during this one. "C'mon, you bastards...
for the Viking!" or something like that.
At the end:
BS: "Thank you. Yeah! Let's go for it."
Temptation
BS: "I need my special guitar for this one."
BC: [can't make out what he says, think it starts with 'Let me...']
BS: "Temptation."
He starts out with a 'woo woo' along with the beat, before the opening guitar
bit.
They play it. All their Temptations these days feature Barney counting
"1, 2, 3, 4!!" before going into the last break.
BS: "Thank you." Guitar chords.
PH: "It's very quiet, isn't it?"
Crowd yells.
PH: "What's the matter, scousers got yer bag?"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Eh, this song is called...ah, I can't remember(?)...it's something about love...
Love...Will...Tear...Us...Apart."
They play LWTUA.
Hooky yells "Here we go!" at the 1:24 mark. He also yells out, "Turn up my mic, Andy!"
at about 3:30, "Andy" again ten seconds later, and another "Here we go!" at the 3:53 mark.
BS: "Whoahhh...thank you very much, you've been a great audience. See you in sixteen
years!" (He laughs when he says this)
I guess Barney had forgotten they played Japan in 1987, which was only 14 years before.
The punters start to chant for New Order...somebody strums a bass...
then general clamour...and more chanting...before NO take the stage again.
Encore
Ruined_In_A_Day
BS: "How did you know we were going to do an encore? [noodles on guitar]
The lead gui-part...guitar part in this song is very, very difficult, so if
we play it out of tune, please bear with me."
Actually, this is a really good version. Nice guitar work, having
Corgan and Cunningham around helps.
BS: "Woo! Thank you. I cannot stop saying 'Woo', heh heh. Why do I do that?"
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, this is eh, a song called 60 Miles An Hour, off our new album called
Get Ready."
Initial ascending guitar riff before the sweeping synths preface the track.
BS: "Thank you very much."
PH: "God bless you."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, you might recognize this one. So, I'm not going to tell you
the title, so you can decide for yourself which one it is."
Huge cheers when the opening beats kick in, of course.
A couple of whoops and a whistle make their way in before the vocals
start. Lots of silliness on stage here, not the least of which was
Bernard's freaky dancing.
BS: "Thank you, good night, great to be back in Japan. We really
enjoyed it! Thank you."
The maelstorm is Blue Monday continues for a minute more before ending
in gigantic bass feedback, followed by Hooky throwing down his
instrument and walking offstage.
Announcer: "You were great...we loved it.!"
Then he goes into Japanese...the only phrase I can make out is
'New Order'. Any speakers want to translate?
I attended this performance. What I most vividly remember
was this girl who was doing a very intimate lap dance
for her partner, who unfortunately couldn't be persuaded
to stay beyond New Order's set (she wanted to stay, he
wanted to get busy). The last I saw of this couple was
him walking out, with the girl flipping him the bird
as she chased after him.
No, I'm not making this up.
Another highlight was the punk with a Low-life shirt,
who had scrawled on the back, "Fuck Moby". Ace.
Some reviews...
Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 15:34:32 -0700 (PDT)
From: Marc Joseph
Sound:
Have to agree with Fernando. The sound was very poor.
The levels were definitely set for the bands on after
New Order (Outkast and Moby). The difference was so
great that on some songs it was almost like comparing
AM radio to CD sound quality.
The vocals were set too low until three and a half
songs in. With the exception of Hooky's bass, all of
the sounds ran together. Couldn't hear Bernard's
guitar on many songs (e.g., TF). I was at the
bottom/middle of the lawn section. Perhaps the sound
was better up close? Kind of doubt that.
The band knew that sounds levels were screwed up, and
were constantly (Bernard, especially) pointing to the
side stage to make changes (or even requesting changes
on the mike during songs). Bernard made a comment
after the fourth song -- in the middle of which they
adjusted the vocals sound level -- something like
"...well, at least half of it didn't sound like
shit..."
[Editor's Note: this comment seems to be missing
from the CD I have of this gig...nor do I recall him
making this comment.]
I've not heard the complete album. I did listen to
the sound clips and the downloaded Fuji concert. The
sound at the Mountain View concert, especially of the
new songs, was, not surprisingly, much poorer than the
album clips. But, it was also much worse than the
Fuji concert (which was actually pretty good).
[Compared to Reading '98, which I also was fortunate
to attend, the sound was on a completely different
scale -- not a fair comparison.]
I realize that at a festival with little or no
soundcheck time, that it's difficult/impossible to get
the sound levels correct. At the same time, though, I
wonder. Did the New Order sound at the show help or
hurt their chances for being successful again in the
U.S.?
Without decent sound levels for the new songs (and
even most of the older ones), does it just reinforce
the "80's band" label in the U.S.? In my mind, it
doesn't, but I'm not the majority.
Song selection:
New Order is known in the U.S. by the masses (i.e.,
most everyone not in the orchestra section) by five
songs: BLT, TF, TBTHOG, Temptation, & BM.
They had to play those songs. The difference in broad
audience participation was significantly higher during
those songs than all the others. I would've loved to
have taken a poll of the audience to see how many
people first realized it was "that" New Order when BLT
was played.
(LWTUA also got the audience's attention. Along with
In a Lonely Place, they were two songs that had good
sound balance. Best two songs of the day, IMO.)
Song order:
I was hoping they'd change the order from Liverpool
and Fuji. Starting with Atmosphere in a half-filled
outdoor amphitheatre with the sun setting just didn't
seem right. Whoops didn't help.
Energy level:
Hooky was very enthusiastic. Even hopped off the
stage during Blue Monday. Steve and Phil were into
it. Bernard was hopping around and seemed very
enthusiastic. He also, though, seemed a little peeved
about the sound.
The orchestra level audience was very enthusiastic.
To the balding guy in the French blue long-sleeve
shirt, I hope you drank lots of water afterward. You
must of sweated about a gallon of liquid.
Billy Corgan's involvement:
Although it's true he didn't necessarily do a lot on
stage, his presence meant a lot. He received very
loud/positive recognition when Bernard introduced him
and when he lingered on the stage at the end. Even
looked like he signed an autograph from the side/front
of the stage during a lull in a song.
It's been said before, but his presence will mean a
lot in the US market. Turn My Way will get
significant airplay, because of, in large part, him.
He has a very distinctive voice (whether you like it
or not) and the masses will instantly be drawn into at
least that song (and perhaps like it and try the whole
album).
Atmosphere (not the song):
New Order is not a day-time outdoor band. The
difference in atmosphere (along with the sound) of
Moby's show was startling. I realize that Moby's been
doing his show for a while now -- very rehearsed,
highly produced, etc. -- but it had impact (whether
you like his music or not).
A light show, a full venue, and darkness to help
people focus on the stage (as opposed to talking on
their cell-phones & walkie-talkies, commenting on the
people walking by, screaming to the ushers for
glow-in-the-dark thingys to hang around their neck,
etc.) make a world of difference. Even playing one
hour later (in the Outkast slot) would have made a BIG
difference. But, with a full tour commitment, it was
right to have Outkast slotted there.
(Funny side note: They turned on the smoke machine --
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Bernard disappeared several times
while singing. Not the cool floating haze like
Reading '98. Looked like a dust cloud had descended
upon him. After a few songs, Bernard said something
like, "Turn off the fucking smoke machine. You're
killing me.")
All that said, I'm still very glad to have been there
and grateful that New Order came back to the U.S. I
wish that I could go to the LA event to see if they're
able to improve the sound by then. I very much hope
they can come back again and tour in some mid-size
venues (e.g., Fillmore in SF).

Al Jarvis later adds:
From: "Al Jarvis"
Sarge isn't a 'big bloke' at all. He's about 5'6? But he's mean as f---,
suppsedly. Head of security at the Apollo, I believe, and has only ever
acted as security for one act before - Barry Manilow! And he's defo not
Hooky's brother, just a mate.
4 of my mates managed to get their mugs into the Frisco audience photo
in Q magazine but me and the Mrs were to the right of the stage so don't
feature. If the cameraman had panned more to the left there was a big X
of St George in the audience held aloft by some lads from Slough and
Sunderland.
Transcription:
Sound is clear (being sourced from a DAT). Despite my initial report,
there are no dropouts in my copy (sorry gaobest!)
BS: "Hello everyone, we're New Order, it's great to be back in the
States! [bass chords] Please welcome our guest guitarist tonight,
Billy Corgan. Please welcome Phil...Phil Cunningham. Well, you like
Joy [Division]?"
(my copy of the gig cuts out after the word 'Joy')
Atmosphere
BS: "This is a song called Atmosphere."
PH: "One Two Three Four"
BC: "Yo...yo...(echo)"
Barney gets "whooping cough" during this song. Most people find this
affliction annoying during what are supposed to be downtempo numbers.
PH: (to roadie offstage) "Jerry...my foldbacks are still not working...
Can I have more guitar in the side fills, please."
BS: "Thank you...whoo! Thanks a lot, thanks a..."
Regret
BS: "Ok, this is a song called Regret."
Opening guitars are mixed way too low and Hooky's bass comes in out of
time. The sequenced hi-hat is high up in the mix. A fairly rare botch-up.
BS: "Yo! Jerry, a bit less on my guitar, please, a bit more
of the sequenced drums, sequenced shit."
(he's being sarcastic, of course)
Crystal
PH: "You're all right, matey[?]. _____ _____ the fucking amp is
coming out[?]
BS: "Okay, this is our new single. It's called Crystal"
(audience member yells out 'Who's playing that?')
Kick drum is very loud here...and the vocals kinda low.
BS: "Oh...thank you...whoo..."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: (plays note) "This is for you all old-timers. And you young timers.
Every living fucker in between."
BS: "Okay, this is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
Ends up being somewhat of a singalong.
About 3:12, Hooky exclaims "Here we go, Steve!"
BS: "Thank you! It's one of those old songs, but we can do
even better than that! Just bear with us. You're in for one
hell of a...eh, a trip."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Okay, this is an old song called "Your Silent Face."
And indeed they do much better. Again, the melodica makes
its appearance, and there's some improv...melodica jazz,
anyone? My copy has a pop/crack at 3:58.
BS: "Yo! 'ak you. Whoa..oa..oa...
(audience member yells 'Ceremony')
Turn_My_Way
BS: "This is a new song...off our new album Get Ready, features
Billy on vocals, and also...he plays a lovely solo in the middle
of it."
BC: "Take my hand...and don't let go"
BS: "And don't let go".
About 3:08 in, Barney cries "Yo! Phil".
I guess being around all those hip-hop acts is rubbing off on
Barney, yo!
Nice "thought that I was right" refrain in this version.
BS: "'k you! Yo!"
(audience member yells 'Ceremony' again)
Bizarre_Love_Trangle
BS: "Okay, after that, of course we're gonna play some of the
_____ you already know. This is called Bizarre Love Triangle."
BS: "Jerry....[whistles]"
They play the song.
BS: "'ank you...[groans]"
PH: "Fuck. Can't see me tuner, and sounds like there's something
wrong. [plays bass] Nah, it's just me, being a lazy...Salford
bastard. Like jazzy here, man."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "This is Touched By The Hand Of God."
BS: [3:33] "One Two Three Four!"
Another dropout at 4:41.
BS: "Thank you. Andy, will you turn that fucking smoke off, it's
driving me mad! I'm a confirmed anti-smoker, cigarettes are bad
for you!"
(more calls for Ceremony from the audience)
PH: "Haha...you got told off, Andy. Hehe."
BS: "Apologize for that one, a very slip of temper on my part..."
(recording cuts out briefly)
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is true faith...new version."
BS: [0:50] "Oh, bassline"
PH: [0:54] "Here we go"
BS: [1:13] "More bassline"
Hooky makes weird noises at about 5:15.
BS: "Thank you."
Arthur Baker intro
BS: "Please welcome...our producer Mr. Arthur Baker, stood right there
in the audience. Hello Arthur! Guy with the beard and the long hair.
Looks a bit like Rasputin. He's got a big dick just like me."
Temptation
BS: "well, you're laughing at (him?) anyway. Okay this is another
song, it's called Temptation."
BS: [5:37] "Oh, it's the last fucking time..."
BS: [5:52] "One Two Three Four!"
BS: "Ohah! Thank you"
(yet more calls for Ceremony from the audience)
BS: "'nk you. Fucking M...a bit tiring up here."
_60__Miles_an_Hour
BS: "Okay this is eh, eh, called 60 Miles An Hour, it's off our new
album. Hope you like it. Hey whazzap Billy, c'm...an old friend back
here."
They play the song, and finish.
PH: "Not bad, was it?"
BS: "'k you."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Hey, this is Blue Monday"
PH: "Yo, get that bass a bit louder, for there's a man in Manchester
who can't hear it!"
BS: "No one can set _____ _____" [whistles]
BS: [1:42] Weird noise.
BS: "Thanks a lot, you've been a great audience, it's great to be back
in the States. This time we're here to stay, Keep on Truckin'!"
Outro...clapping...people wanting more, the usual.
Same set as Shoreline 7/31 except LWTUA moves to later in the set
before the encore...and True Faith was omitted... in my opinion the
performances here are better, not to mention the banter!) However,
I heard that the conditions they had to play in (rain/sparse crowds)
were less than ideal.
Source: CD from two separate DAT masters.
Transcription:
Intro
(a bit of right channel distortion, clears up by the start of
Atmosphere)
PH: "You fookin' boo, then we'll kick yer fookin' 'ead in."
On SR version, you can hear a bit of conversation, including GB with
"What did he say?".
BS: "Hello, we're New Order. Please welcome to the stage...(Phil says
"hallo") our new guitarist, Phil Cunningham, from England. And the most
obnoxious man in rock, Stephen Morris! Oh yeah, Billy Corgan as well.
And Peter Hook. (Hooky: "Heeey") And there's our roadies..."
GB (taper): "He's in a good mood."
(somebody notes that Barney's in a good mood...which based on what
I've read on Ceremony wasn't the case at all)
Atmosphere
BS: "Here we go."
PH: "1-2-3-4."
Barney continues with whooping, but it's less pronounced than the
Shoreline performance.
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "Hey Billy, your sister's in."
BS: "Thanks a lot."
PH: "She's got that coloring set you gave her for Christmas."
Regret
BS: "Ok, this is a a [stutter] a song called Regret."
The levels are more reasonable here than in the Shoreline version,
which was plagued with technical difficulties.
BS: [whoop] "Thank you."
Somebody cries for Ceremony.
BS: "No, not playing Ceremony tonight...because Ceremony fucking sucks!"
(lots of laughter...maybe this is a snide allusion to the mailing list!)
http://worldinmotion.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=3334038731&f=9334038731&m=1124085831
Someone like me reports a slightly different wording:
"Only once, this year in Vancouver. I loved it, it was a dream come true.
My favorite moment was when somebody yelled "play Ceremony" and Barney
responded "I will play it for you, yea right, Ceremony F**king sucks" I
just started laughing. If anybody knows Barney, they will know that is
just his style of humor. Also Peter was very Interactive with the crowd.
I hope they come to the west again!!!"
BS: "We're gonna play our new single, however, because we all want
you to buy that one, we don't want you to buy Ceremony."
Crystal
BS: "We want you to buy our new single Crystal, and it sounds just
like this."
An exuberant "Yeeoooww" during the "keep it coming" parts. Also
some good thrash guitar soloing during the break, concluding
with another Hooky "Yeeoooww". The stereo seperation shifts a bit...
BS: "Thank you. Jerry, can you take the backing down a touch, please."
PH: "If only we could, we're not allowed to by the musician's union."
(talking at the same time Bernard introduces the next song)
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Okay, this is called Your Silent Face."
Turn_My_Way
BS: "Thank you. Okay, we're gonna subject you to a new song now,
it's called Turn My Way, and it's all...all Billy Corgan's fault."
BS: "Thank you."
Somebody says "There's a little hole right here."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Bizarre Love Triangle. I heard you! And we're gonna play just for
you, the guy in the blue T-shirt and the yellow bit there, what's your
name? (punter cries out name) I feel like I've known you all my life.
Here we go."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "'hank you. Okay okay okay, can anyone guess what we're gonna
play next. [folk scream out Blue Monday, of course]. Apparently not."
PH: (interrupting) "I told you to watch your half..."
BS: "Well, listen and you've caught it on two. I'm ready when you're
ready, Roger."
Good riffing on this one. I love how Barney's vocals are so sensually
flat, and then they kick into high gear!
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "So slippery up here you can'tt do anything...I dunno...you Americans
and your weather."
(The crowd quickly corrects him, mock booing mixed in with laughter)
Temptation
PH: "You'll have to forgive me for that one, just like I forgive you."
BS: "Ignore what Hooky was saying, just listen to me. I'm the voice of
truth. This song is Temptation."
BS: "Thank you."
From: http://worldinmotion.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=3334038731&f=9334038731&m=1124085831
'Someone like me' reports:
"Your right, being my first New Order show, I would think anything of New
Order was cool. I will admit that Vancouver looks like it was one of the
worst shows next to Germany so far on this tour. I'm guessing because of
the weather, is the reason True Faith was off the set list.
I totaly forgot about Peter calling us Americans. (Not that is a bad
thing right about now). But just to let everyone else know. Peter said
"You Americans are all the same" And I was one of the people who
screamed "were Canadian" Then he said "I will forgive you, if you will
forgive me", Then Barney said "Don't listen to him listen to me."
It was funny. I hope they come to the west again."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "This is a song that we've never played in Canada before. It's
called Love Will Tear Us Apart...I think. Something like that anyway."
Feedback squall from one of the guitarists.
BS: "Get on with it!"
Hooky yells out, "Let's go, let's [something] rock!"
Good version.
BS: "Thank you. An oldie but goldie."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Now we're gonna play something that'll make you want to kill yourself.
Straight after you've heard it. Our speciality. It's called 60 Miles An Hour".
Pretty raucous version, Corgan does backing vocals here to I think.
BS: "Thank you. Whoa. It stopped raining as well, no it just started
again. Sorry. Anyway, we like the rain in England, I'm sure that
you like it too. Cuz no fucking choice have we really."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, this is our last song, it's called 'Brue Monday'. My
favorite."
(somebody in the crowd sarcastically comments 'Yeah, right!')
They play Blue Monday, which comes clattering to a halt.
PH: "Good evening, Vancouver!"
NO then depart
The between-set music comes on, and an interesting conversation
between the taper (GB) and his companion (JV) can be overheard:
JV: "They didn't play True Faith."
GB: "They didn't play True Faith, that's right. I was like annoyed.
I was like, 'Wait...where's...'.
JV: "Is that the only one they didn't?"
GB: "Yeah, they played all the other songs from Sh...from Tuesday."
JV: "You know, It's kinda interesting, though, because they've changed
the set...the order of it."
GB: "Yeah, they moved...Joy...Love Will Tear Us Apart to the end.
I was impressed, I didn't think they'd be capable."
JV: "No..they...I think most people are really into them."
GB: "Yeah, people here are really liking it."
JV: "Well, I was really surprised that Regret came on."
GB: "And everyone knew Regret."
-finis-
Plenty of reports from this one...looks to have been the best US
gig so far.
Pictures from the gig: http://y42.photos.yahoo.com/chris_mealy
Source: tape from Waterrat (Anthony)...unfortunately, sound is very
hissy and muddy, but it's good enough for the job. :-) Also have a
CD from GaoBest...a different source, which sounds like a digital
master, but is also muddy, with very loud kick drum. I suspect
this was due to the acoustics of the venue. According to GaoBest,
he believes this was taped by ASw.
Transcription
Atmosphere
BS: "Hello, guess who we are? We are New Order. Not played in
Seattle for a while...of course, this isn't Seattle. We're going
to start off with a Joy Division song called Atmosphere, which we've
never played in Seattle."
They did play in Seattle once before, on the Technique tour, and
unless their setlist was remarkably different there, Bernard,
amazingly enough, may have been accurate in his recollection.
Crazed fan yells out "I love you!!!" at about 2:20 in (Waterrat).
Bernard whoops shortly thereafter.
Regret
BS: "Thank you. Thank you, it's a long time since we've played
that. 24 hours. This is...[can't make out rest, but it doesn't
sound like 'Regret' was mentioned]". Oddly enough, the last line
isn't even audible on the GaoBest copy.
Crystal
BS: "Woo! OK. All right. this is our new single, it's called
Crystal, please all go out and buy it immediately!"
This perhaps was the best-played Crystal so far.
BS: "Thank you!"
PH: [in reaction to fans shouting out titles, I presume]
"Nope, try again later!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "All right, we're gonna hear a new...I am...another Joy Division
song now, and it's called Love Will Tear Us Apart."
PH: "One...C'mon Billy, fucking hell...one, two, three, four!"
They play LWTUA.
BS: "'k you...you come over, eh?"
BS: "Let's hear it for David Beckham...Let's hear it for Manchester
United! [another pause] David, the guitar isn't working."
PH: "We're not allowed to chat with you during this intermission."
[or something to that effect]
Your_Silent__Face
BS: "All right, here we go, this is Your Silent Face."
NO play KW1.
BS: "Thank you very much [very slurred]. It's great to be back in
America again. See some sunshine. Take some drugs! Meet a few ladies."
Turn_My_Way
BS: "Okay, this is a song called Turn My Way faturing Billy Corgan on
vocals...and guitar solo...me on capo...Hooky, your bass is feeding back
out."
Which they perform.
BS: "Thank you!"
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
Doesn't really sound any different than the million other times they've
performed this tune, though it was reported that Barney was off, rendering
one of the choruses without vocals.
BS: "'k you. Thanks a lot."
PH: "You're very kind."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Okay, this is the song that's gonna make [Hooky?] put down, it's
called Touched By The Hand Of God."
The timing was definitely off for this one, with Bernard coming in
a bit early.
When the song ends, some girlie yells out "We love you Billy Corgan!"
and start chanting "Billy Corgan...Billy...Corgan". !@#$% (Waterrat)
BS: "Absolutely beautiful place you got here for us to play...it's
a real pleasure to be here. [looking out over horizon] Where's Seattle?"
BC laughs.
BS: "Which direction is it?"
BC: "Over there."
Some girlies yell out "We love you Billy Corgan!", covering up the
reply Hooky made. !@#$% :-) (Waterrat)
PH: "Who's gonna..." [all I can make out]
BS: "Stephen, you're...[?]"
True_Faith
PH: "I'm ready...
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
Temptation
BS: "'k you. We actually finished it! Okay, I need my badass guitar
to play this song. It's called Temptation."
That Girl: Billy, Yeah! Screams. Shut up already, we get the point.
(Waterrat)
Some scuffling on the right channel during the beginning of the first
verse.
BS: "Thank you."
Guitar being strummed.
BC: (softly) "Thank you very much".
I don't hear the edit between the end of Temptation and the start
of the encore...it could have been than New Order never really left
the stage. Would appreciate any information.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
PH: "Ah, must be all you sweaty bastards playing havoc with our tuning."
BS: "This one's called 60 Miles An Hour, let's go. Get on with it,
Roger, or you're sacked!"
PH: "Ooh...[last phrase a mumble]"
Blue_Monday
BS: "Is Roger here? Must have startled him[?] This is Blue Monday.
Hope you like it as much as I do."
Some fool calls out for Ceremony. :-)
Some silly audience members start going "whoo whoo", in the fashion
of some contempory urban music hit. ;-) (both Waterrat)
BS: "Thanks a lot, you've been a fucking great audience. Thanks
for all the people than came over from England. Manchester United!
Manchester vibes in the area!"

I'm dead tired, so tonight I'll just say this: That was a great show. My
life is finally complete. I'll post more about it tomorrow. I also
snapped a film rolls worth of pics. I'll get those developed tomorrow
and hopefully have them online Sunday or Monday.
Later,
Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2001 10:55:13 -0700
Like I said in my last post, the show was great. My girlfriend and I
made our way into the crowd as soon as the Roots left the stage. After
a few minutes we found ourselves about 10 feet from the stage, almost
directly in front of Hooky's mic stand. It became apparent quickly that
most of the people in the crowd were there waiting for Outkast (who were
on after NO) But we did manage to meet a few nice people who were there
just for NO. In the words of one fan I met, "I paid $70 for New Order.
I could give a shit about the rest of the bands."
After about 30 minutes of waiting, I turned to say something to my
girlfriend. As I turned back around, there was Peter Hook looming above
me, arms crossed and staring blankly into the crowd. Soon the rest of the
band were on stage and they were playing Atmosphere. I've never been a big
fan of the Reading 98 version, but tonight it sounded beautiful. Bernard held
back on all the wooping that apparently has plagued previous gigs. I can't
imagine NO doing a better job of this song. It really was perfect.
After that Bernard stepped up to the mic and made some comment about how
he loves America. Then he said, "Here's a song we haven't played in 24
hours." Regret. At times this has been my favorite NO song, often on repeat
in my cd player. Tonight it didn't dissapoint. Everything about it was great.
Best part however, sometime during the song a beautiful rainbow formed over
the hills. I'm pretty sure NO had something to do with it.
Next on the list was Crystal. They started out with the piano/synth
intro from the extended version wich really got my hopes up (love the extended
instrumental at the end) however as soon as the intro was over it became
the edit. Apart from the keyboard bits in the break, Phil Cunningham was
down playing guitar with Bernard and Sick Boy (Corgan, who looked like he
was dead he was so pale). Crystal, for lack of a better term, really
"rocked" tonight. Nobody in the crowd seemed to know the song, but after
the song a number of people were making comments about how much they liked
it. Bernard also made the point of explaining to the crowd that Crystal
was their newest single and they need to go buy it "right now". Maybe he
didn't realize that it hasn't been released yet...
From here on my recollection gets of the set list gets a little fuzzy.
Atmosphere
Overall it was a great show. My life really is complete now. LWTUA was
fantastic, as was most of the set. Sick Boy sounded horrible on Turn My
Way. Several people in the audience actually started booing very loudly
when Bernard introduced him for the song. Peter looked like he was having the
most fun on stage. Bernard kinda looked pissed (probably cuz he started
singing early on three different songs, which led to a silent chorus on
BLT). There really wasn't any interaction between the band members,
though. Hooky caught on to the fact that the security down front had to
look at the crowd the entire time, so he started swing his bass within inches
of their heads. Pretty funny. He was straddling a bunch of amps and lights as
well. He really was the star of the show.
I know I've probably missed some things but oh well. I just woke up. I'm
getting my film developed today, so I should have some pics online
Monday or Tuesday. Oh yeah, I'd like to give a shout out to all the ass-hole
Outkast fans that started crashing their way through the crowd before NO was
done. F**k all of you. Especially that ass that elbowed my girlfriend. Hope I
didn't punch you in the face too hard.
Great show, thanks New Order. Hope too see you soon!
Laters,

I actually wrote this last night after getting home, but sent it from a
different IP forgetting that it wouldn't get through. Oh, and I was the
one in the aque/turquoise blue plaid button up short sleeves with the black
rimmed glasses for anyone that was there. Jeff Sheldon was that you I was
right next to?
bob
In two words: FUCKING BRILLIANT. Now, I've been waiting 15 years to see
them, so maybe just getting to see them is great, but it also offered all
the opportunity in the world to be disappointed.
I can't give you the set list, I don't remember, but they played about
what they played at the other shows--including True Faith (which they didn't
play in Vancouver?). The only song that didn't sound great was Turn My Way.
Could be that I'm just not familiar with it. Oh and Corgan's voice on LWTUA
really grated on my nerves.
Great crowd, even the couple of big dunder heads that were just there to
see Outkast and were standing at the very front. Completely motionless,
clearly not New Order fans. In between songs I said to one of them "Since you
aren't a New Order fan, and I've been waiting 15 years to see them can you let
me stand there?" He looked confused for a second but then moved and I was
right in front about 5 feet from Hooky! I had my friend's digital camera and
got about 60 shots. Not all of them are good, but some are absolutely
great. He's going to download them and put them on a site and send me the URL
so I will let everyone know. I couldn't really get any good shots of Stephen
because of the sun (absolutely blinding at times) and a particularly
large security guard who wasn't too accomadating about moving to the side a
few feet. But I got some great shots.
Temptation was brilliant, as were YSF, Blue Monday, Regret, LWTUA and
Atmosphere. My gods, Atmosphere. It was so amazing hearing it. But
again, the only song that I thought didn't sound good was TMW.
I'm sure someone else can give a better review than me but I thought I
would pass mine on.

From: happenstance
well, i was about 10 feet from hooky as well. seems like at
least three of use list members were all right together there,
and didn't know it. when a couple outcast people tried getting
through, i said, "that is not going to happen", and me and my
three friends made an impenetrable wall. the show was
spectacular. even bernard forgeting when not to sing in BLT,
and hooky kicking down the light. it was amazing.

Am stuck in Seattle airport with a few hours to kill so thought I'd send
a quick mail to the list. If anyone's going to the LA show look out for a
Union Jack with Ceremony written across it near the stage front. I should be
somewhere near there. Pop up and say Hello! George Saunders from the list
should also be in our vicinity as we've seen him at all shows thus far.
The 'Ceremony' isn't actually in reference to this list but we badgered
Barney at Vancouver airport to play Ceremony and like to remind him of
our request! Pointless I know, but +there you go! If you can't see a Union
Jack we're also meeting 3 English lads who've got a huge Cross of St George
with them. They should be able to point you in my direction if you ask for
Allen!
Shows thus far have been cracking, with only really Vancouver being a
letdown. Rained constantly there and we couldn't drink at the festival -
what was that all about?! Personal hilite for me is having Hooky write
'Peter Hook says f*** off' across my Shoreline setlist when we ran into
him at San Fran airport. Charming bloke.
Looking forward to LA, Allen & Co.

there is a guy who looked like he really enjoyed the show.
during one song, when billy wasn't doing anything, he walked
over and started his "rock star" posing in front of him. then
he started nudging him with his bass. billy couldn't keep a
straight face then.

hours."

Here, I thought he said, "This is a new song, so don't leave
right now." I thought he was joking with the fickle fans there
to see the greatest hits collection and nothing else. crystal
was good, but 60mph was better. i actually thought turn my way
was better than crystal, but i'm a smashing pumkins fan as well,
so what can you do?

coudn't agree more.

hilarious! the song was still great, billy laughed at him,
while stephen and hooky looked a little nervous for a second...
speaking of bernard, we couldn't agree on this on the ride home:
does he know that he is one of the worst dancers of all time?
i think (giving him the benefit of the doubt as a long term fan)
that he knows he can't dance, so he plays it up real good. real
good, if you know what i mean. but my friends think he is just
terrible, and worse the more he gets into it. i don't know. at
least, either way he was enjoying the show enough to get into
it. i'm glad you could tell he was having somewhat of a good
time. but the running in place and goofy
side-back-kick-half-foot jumping?
> There really wasn't any interaction between the band members, though.

This was hilarious as well. Didn't you see him accidentally
kick the light down? he just kind of looked at as if wondering
what it was doing in his way in the first place. sometimes he
would stare vacantly into the upper reaches of the crowd, as if
disappointed they weren't into it as much as the horde of people
just in front of him. but then he would turn back to us and get
into it again. it all worked together quite well.
> F**k all of you. Especially that ass that elbowed my girlfriend.
> Hope I didn't punch you in the face too hard.
don't know if there are too many of them on this list... still,
i couldn't agree more.
> Great show, thanks New Order. Hope too see you soon!
yes! yes! yes!
okay, now i'm done.

ps - oh, i also noticed numerous people back stage singing along
with the new order songs. that was kind of cool.
Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 00:27:23 -0700
I just got back from area: one in los angeles. I kept reading about how
after seeing NewOrder people would say, "now my life is complete". Well,
that's exactly how I would describe how I felt after seeing NewOrder
tonight!! They were amazing. You could tell Bernard was completely into
it. Hook of course was all over the stage. Even Corgan was laughing and
smiling. It also seemed like they had packed in the stage area by the time they
came on. The tent must have been fairly empty when NewOrder was on.
During Blue Monday, some guy jumped on stage and scared the crap out of
Bernard when he snuck a pic of himself with his arm around Barney. It
was actually kinda funny. I met a list member there too. April, AKA (digital
girl?) was rocking out in front of me and even got a pick, a drumstick,
and the set list!! I stopped by the tent after and Oakenfold was on right
after NewOrder. He was playing crystal remixes!!
Here is what they played (but probably not in the right order):

I'm super tired. Bye.

The highlight of the show was NEW ORDER (Gillian Gilbert included)
with Billy Corgan joining Moby for a great version of NEW DAWN FADES.
More review of the show soon with some backstage experience/on
stage/dressing room...Thanks to Peter Hook for his kindness.
BTW: was great to meet some member of the list

Setlist:
Atmosphere
Great to meet some you folks: Met Vincent and Torbjorn for dinner in
Santa Monica the night before, hooked up with David Sultan at the show
and met George Saunders, Al Jarvis and friend immediately after the set
finished (they were right behind us).
Managed to worm our way to about ten deep back from the stage, good view
of everyone except Steve for most of the time. We also set ourselves up
on the Hooky side (better action). Everyone was enjoying themselvesthe
crowd up front was pretty into it, I think out area was a hotbed of
activity more than any other perhaps. Sound was overblowing the
capacity of my eardrums, but balance between the instruments was pretty
decent I thought. TBTHOG was a standout for me- Phil's guitar part
sounded like regimented Andy Gill style and added something new. I
really liked Crystal and 60 MPH, thought Turn My Way was pretty weak
relative, but not bad- just maybe was more suited for an Electronic
album. Pretty decent length set- with the new members, they weren't
improvising with their set at all of course, Phil and Billy had a list
of songs they had to learn and Bernard wasn't going to lead them into a
run of Ceremony, despite repeated requests. Bernard did a dedication to
some fans from Texas- what was that about? Seemed like the group to my
left had something to do with it. Billy Corgan had quite a following,
apparantly, and Bernard was careful to give him credit several times
throughout the gig- at the end, both he and Peter Hook gave him hugs,
Peter apparantly trying to crush his ribcage in the process. During
Blue Monday, some guy ran on stage and pulled what looked like Bernard's
earmonitor and threw it into the crowd. Also worth noting was Bernard's
careful introduction of all the new tracks (which helped with my list).
Quite an experience. The Joy Division songs didn't inpact me as much as
I would have expected, but Atmosphere was pretty awesome. The
dedication in Steve's drumming and emotion on his face was obvious.
Bernard seemed pleased with the crowd, said it was good to back in LA
etc. There was a joke about Billy getting all of the chicks, but then
Billy responded that they were only sleeping with him because he
promised they could have Bernard afterword- Bernard said he wasn't too
excited about Bernard's sloppy seconds.
How David managed to sneak in a full size 35mm SLR camera is beyond me.
Also- who had the NW ORDER license plate? Anyone?
It really was a fantastic experience, my first time seeing them play, as
well as my friend Chris, who showed me the Ceremony list in about 1992
or 1993.
Hope all of you folks manage to take them in some day.

> During Blue Monday, some guy ran on stage and pulled what looked like

Actually, the guy jumped on stage with a point n shoot camera and tapped
Bernard as he was looking away. Right when Bernard turned around, the
guy put his arm around him and took a picture. Bernard had this freaked out
look on his face, as anyone would, when he turned around and say this guy
pointing something at his face.
You guys must have been a few people behind me. I was a few feet from
hooky and could of actually just reached out and touch his bass!! April,
another list member, actually did. So I guess she got hooky's attention
cos he handed her a pick, drumstick, and set list to her. It was kind of
funny because there were a few people there in the front that were obviously
waiting for outkast. Half way into the NewOrder set they were
dancing/bouncing just as crazily as the rest of us..great fun!
John Frye then replies:
We saw Hooky paying a lot of attention to that area and saw him hand off
the pick and drumsticks. April must be hot, eh?
And from "April" herself:

Hello all!
First off I feel very grateful that this was a General Admission event
otherwise I wouldn't have been as close to the stage as I was. We got
there at 3:30 and immediately went to the stage and stayed there until 11:30
when Moby was done with his set. It was actually hard when Outcast was
playing their song "Miss Jackson" and many were moshing behind us and smashing
us! I really HATE the music but I wanted to keep my place for Moby. I also
feel very fortunate to have met some incredible people there as well. Thanks
Albert for being such a nice person to me, and tell your friend to stop
being so quiet :P I really wish I would have met more of you guys but
hopefully they will come out here next year and we can really meet up!
Well enough about my day, the concert I have to say was THE BEST DAMN
CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I really didn't know how
I would react to them being there in person so close to me! It was
phenominal to say the least. As I said before I was lucky enough to be
right smack in front of the Hooky himself. He was the most energetic of
the band, he was getting the crowd crazy. I also managed to get his
attention and managed to get his pick (handed to me by the way), his
drumstick right after he jammed on the drum machine in Blue Monday.
I also got a set list, which is a real good thing I hear. He even
let me touch his guitar :o) :o)
I really couldn't believe I had gotten his attention, even enough for
him to stare at me and actually sing "I will take care of you like I
always do" from 60mph to me, I mean he pointed at me, looked at me,
and sang that line. Every time I hear that line I will get the chills!!
Who knows, it could have had something to do with the Get Ready shirt
I had on!
Ok, about the songs...Atmosphere was absolutly wonderful..Regret wasn't
as good live as on album, but I still enjoyed it very much..Crystal was
played very well and they all really got into it, basically they got into the
new songs a lot..LWTUA was the best I have ever heard it, although Billy did
look shy singing it with Peter..True Faith was brilliant, always one of
my favorites..Your Silent Face was one of the best songs, I loved how
Barney played that piano thing he blew into (sorry, I don't know what it is
called)..I almost cried during Temptation..and the rest were just incredible
(this is getting long now)
At the end of Moby's set I was very suupprised to see GILLIAN there, she
was actually there.. it was awesome to see her im person and with the rest
of the band...another suprise was that John Fruciante from the Chili Peppers
was there....very wonderful...
The last thing that made the day THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE was that some
guy gave me a free t-shirt in the parking lot as we were searching for the
car.
This whole day was a dream and I couldn't ask for more, well maybe to meet
them :P, I don't think another concert could come even close to this
unless I do meet them someday... well a girl can dream can't she!!
Well that is my LONG post, I hope I didn't bore anyone but I had to
express my wonderful NewOrder experience to all.. I do feel very lucky.
Thanks again NewOrder and expecially Hooky for making me feel so good!

-Transcription-
Taken from CD from digital master. Just the right amount of crowd
noise. Thanks GaoBest, as always.
Intro
BS: "Hello, we're New Order. And we're on fire. Please welcome to the
stage, our guest guitarist, Mr. Billy Corgan. And over here, our new
guitarist, with the leather trousers, Mr. Jim Morrison...sorry, Phil
Cunningham."
Atmosphere
BS: (strums guitar) "Okay, this is Atmosphere."
They play Atmosphere. Good version, light on the whoops.
BS: "Thank you for an old Joy Division song which we're very proud of.
It's gotta be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. To the
second-most beautiful song ever written, also coincide...coincidentally
by us, Regret."
Regret
The metronome makes its appearance here. Is it a musical effect or
just so Bernard can keep time? I think it's the latter, given these
are being taped near center stage.
BS: "Thank you. Thank you very much."
PH: "Here, I [can't make out last word]..." (in fact, I can't really make
out any what he said). Barney interrupts. He does that a LOT.
Crystal
BS: "This is our new single Crystal. and if you go out and buy it
immediately, I'll sleep with you...each and every one of you personally,
and so will Billy, and so will Hooky. (BC laughs) We'll do anything to
sell ourselves."
Which they play.
BS: "Thank you."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Feedback.
BS: "All right, thank you. This is a song I don't think we've ever
played here before, but then again, I could be lying. It's called
Love Will Tear Us Apart.
PH: "Give a great [ ?] next to our friends from Texas. 1-2-3-4!"
Hooky shouts "Let's go!" about 1:55 in.
BS: "Thank you....thank you, thank you. We're gonna slow things down
a little bit."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Okay, this is Your Silent Face".
Some interesting feedback, and the melodica solo is cool.
Small skip about 4:58 in.
BS: "Thank you."
Some girl yells for Billy to take off his hat, twice.
BS: "Billy, what's going on between the stage here with those girls?"
I never knew...never knew you were that sort of guy."
BC: "I...I tell these girls that if they sleep with me, they can sleep
with you."
BS: "Sloppy seconds."
BC: "That's assuming I can..." [Bernard interrupts him]
Turn_My_Way
BS: "All right, this is Turn My Way, featuring the sex stud himself,
the star of the show, Mr. Billy Corgan, on vocals!"
Which he sings...
BS: "Thank you!"
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play a song you all know now. It's Bizarre
Love Triangle."
BS: "Thank you."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: (ugh) "Okay, this is another song. it's called Touched By The
Hand Of God."
Starts out with the same sort of feedback that was present in YSF, but
even more audible. Awesome.
BS: "'ack you."
BS: "Woo...Billy's girl got this sign that sign that says 'Please sleep
with me or give me a guitar pick.'"
Girl yells out again "Take your hat off!"
BS: "What's that say?"
PH: "We're going to get the pick off of that side...[last two words
mumbled]".
BC: "It's cheaper to, uh..."
BS: "It's cheaper, right."
True_Faith
BS: "True Faith"
As usual, it's the Perfecto mix.
BS: "Thank you."
PH: [Groans]
BS: "(grunts) I think we've had enough now, it's getting a bit hot up here."
Temptation
BS: "It's called Temptation."
Which. they play.
BS: "Thank you."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, here's a track from our new album, new album's called Get Ready,
and this track is called 60 Miles An Hour. It's a protest against the speed
limit. Not a very good subject for a song, but it sounds pretty good.
PH; "Whoa, thank you very much California, it's fucking great to be
back! I suppose I gotta say goodbye to you now Billy."
BC: "Bye." (the freak fan's still calling for him to take his hat off)
PH: "Only PT...bye Hooky"
BS: "Billy, I like to thank you sincerely for helping us out on this
tour, it's been a pleasure having you."
BC: "Thank you."
BS: "All the rumors about you have been completely unfounded. You are
a really nice guy. Billy, put it there."
I assume they give each other five.
BS: "And you know, underneath that hat, he's even got hair!"
BS: "Bye Hooky, bye bye Hooky. Lippy, you're a nice guy as well,
Lippy, come and say hello to the audience. Lippy, c'mon. Lippy,
c'mere, c'mere..."
(Lippy is 'Phil' backwards)
Blue_Monday
BS: "All right, this is Blue Monday. Get into the groove, you
motherfuckers!"
Phil (I presume) screws up on the keyboard parts a couple of times.
Good stretch of feedback about 5:00 in.
BS: "Thanks a lot, it's great to be in LA again. You've been a fucking
great audience, and what else can I say? Thanks, Billy! And thank you
Lippy! Thank you Lippy!"
NO: 11 AUG 01 Mungersdorfer Stadium Cologne Germany
Review from Ceremony list:
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2001 00:44:36 +0000
Bizarre one this. Bought a standing ticket to be as near
to the Order as possible but got into the stadium around
4pm (first band 5pm) to find out they'd already filled out
their quota of fans stage-front so - after my initial
disgust - settled down in the sun to sink beers and watch
the bands from a bar at the far end of the pitch, what seemed
like a million miles away.
Got talking to a German neworder bod though (dressed in
Temptation 98 t-shirt) who was convinced we could genuinely
get down the front after Ash's set. JJ72 and Ash came and
went so me and 2 of my party made for the left hand side of
the stage in order to gain access to the inner sanctum. 2 burly
security guards were having none of it and refused a 100Dm bribe
so we took another 20mins to wade through the assembled bodies
(it seems German concert goers set themselves down in one spot
for the entire duration and don't even need to move due the
wandering Becks salesman replenishing their every liquid need)
and finally made it to the right of the stage to be faced by a
fresh-faced security guard on his own. And he wouldn't even accept
a 300Dm (100 pounds in real money!) bribe to let us through! Of
all the cheek. But just at that point the infamous Alex gave me
a tap on the shoulder, and so there we were - me + 2 and Alex + 6,
10 English Neworder fans in all - marooned behind a barrier, more
than yards back from the stage - when the band finally appeared.
Atmosphere started with Primal Scream drowning out the band, still
playing on huge video screens either side of the stage. And it was
all downhill from there. Absolutely NO-ONE else was up for this
one. No atmosphere whatsoever. Cue Barney: "Are you all having a
good time [pause] Cos it doesn't fucking look like you are." A huge
Mexican wave started during 60mph and got a bigger cheer than the
band had all evening. Blue Monday finally got the German heads
nodding but all in all this gig seemed a totally pointless exercise.
If ever a gig deserved World In Motion finale, it was this one. That
might've ruffled a few feathers. Robbie, on the other hand, rocked
the venue - he is the ultimate showman. Anyone who can get 60,000
Germans singing along to English-language songs and have 30% of them
bedecked in Union Jacks is a winner in my book. A sound bloke. Quote
of the night "I used to be in the Spice Girls [pause] Well, two of
them". Boom boom. Not a bad day out, all in all, just a bit
'different' as New Order gigs go.
Set - same as America, minus TMW and True Faith.
Another review:
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:19:36 +0200
Hi!
just returned home from the cologne gig - my first ever new order gig...
(waited 11 years... hm, blabla...) anyway, it was more than an
experience, already suggesting before that it will be a tough show
due to the audience (best question I got asked by a teen girl - do you
know who new order are? we think they are a boyband...) - incompetent
organization (the already mentioned thing about getting into the first
rows... you have x robbie fans sitting there the whole time and no chance
due to wristbands been given out to them to get in there...), so we had
to enjoy the band from the second circle + I have never ever seen a more
igonrant audience before...
setlist has already been mentioned - lovely choice to let your silent
face stay in the set (my bet was this would be out...) + leaving most
of the people there totally bewildered. barney started to take the piss
out of the audience + add more lovely comments as the gig continued.
(do you like dance music? nah, you probably like marching music),
temptation is a song about all the lovely things in life that we never
do like poking in the nose... hm, and blue monday is about the soft-sex
movies on german pay-tv in hotel rooms... hehehe, by the way, phil
got a plastic bottle thrown at him - and at the end of blue monday
hooky threw his bass into his amps...
so, you can say, quite a special night, enjoyed it a lot personally - a
shame about the audience!!! very intense performance nevetheless!
can't wait for the autumn dates.... Dennis
Excerpt from a London Times article (Paul Connolly)
My html preprocessing can't handle the commas in the link, so
you'll have to cut/paste if you want to read the full article
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,146-2001286578,00.html
Bernard Sumner glares balefully at 60,000 apathetic German Robbie
Williams fans in Cologne's Mungersdorfer stadium. "Do you like
dance music?" he asks. No response. Even from way back in the crowd I
can see him bristle at the lack of reaction. It's clear he's dying
to let rip. He can't keep it in any longer and growls menacingly,
"Do you like marching music?" and New Order rip into Touched by
the Hand of God, one of their huge fund of classics.
Backstage after the gig Sumner grins when I remind him of his comment.
“That was the least offensive thing that sprang to mind. I had to
keep biting my lip. Robbie Williams fans aren't really our audience."
Peter Hook, the band's bearded bassist and master of melody, quite
enjoyed the show. "As Bernard often tells me, 'You'd enjoy
playing in Beirut.' But I like a challenge. After the show Robbie
Williams hugged me and said 'Well done, you did well to get through
that.' Mind you, Bernard was so annoyed I thought he was going to
start World War III." New Order are playing at the request of Robbie
Williams, but most of the crowd were probably still at primary school
when the band released their last album, 1993's Republic. It's no
surprise that the sight of these fortysomethings playing music that
still sounds futuristic doesn't stir their hormones.
But for the few New Order aficionados in the crowd the sight of the band
dubbed 'the post-punk Beatles' playing again after such a long
hiatus is a near-religious experience. They are the most influential
band of the past 25 years, without New Order there would be no U2,
Primal Scream or Pet Shop Boys.
Transcription
As advertised, the source that I have sound like they came from the
soundboard [note: it's probably FM] And also as advertised, the
between-song comments here are especially good. i don't know how
sincere they are, a lot of it is from Barney knowing the Germans
understand not a word he says.
Since picked up the full FM version that was posted to STG by
booomboom.
Atmosphere
Not complete, fade-in.
BS: "Thank you. Erm, all [can..?] me and Hooky. Can I have a bit more
keyboards and drums, please."
(off-mic) BS: "Turn it down a little bit."
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is a song called Regret. Hope you like it."
They play Regret.
BS: "Okay, thank you. Hey Jerry, if you can cut Hooky on side fills
a bit, that'd do me a big favor. And I'm not hearing Phil too well."
Crystal
BS: "Okay, this is our new single. It's called Crystal. Hope you
like it so much you go out and buy it. We need your support."
PH: "Thank you" (may be Phil)
BS: "One two one two one two."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "This is another old song, ...a fucking well-deserved rest. One two three
four!"
BS: "All right."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: [muttering] "...very professional...".
BS: "Hello. Are you having a good time here in Cologne? It doesn't fucking
look like it. I've soon you best sort your fucking lives out. [guitar chords]
And we're gonna play something you don't like. This is called Your Silent Face.
Bernard calls for Hooky right after the synths start up.
During intro...
BS: "This is very Bavarian song. Think of the mountains in Bavaria.
Skiing! Naked saunas! I was gonna say something else, but I won't."
Barney whoops before the first verse.
And says "Thank you" in Deustche.
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, this is a song called Bizarre Love Tri...[mic cuts out]. Oh, fuck.
And, uh..."
Barney whoops during the intro.
BS: "'k you. Very polite of you."
Touched_By_The__Hand_Of_God
BS: "I see you got a group there in Cologne? Do you like dance music. No?
All right. Do you like marching music? Okay this is a song called Touched By
The Hand Of God. [he giggles a bit delivering this line]" He ahhs and makes
a couple other Barney-esque noises, including a grunt, whoop, and whistle
This version is a bit shambolic.
BS: "Thank you very much, very polite audience tonight."
PH: "Yes, you can." [dunno who he was responding to] Plucks bass a
bit.
Temptation
(punter can be heard crying for "Blue Monday" right before Barney starts speaking)
BS: "Okay, this is a song...you probably have never heard of, actually looking at
you, but in England [Hooky laughs] it's a very famous song [Hooky gasp-sighs].
It's called Temptation. [Phil chuckles]... It's about doing bad things, which
obviously you never do, like picking your nose, and forgetting to cut your toenails."
They play Temptation.
BS: "Thank you. Thank you very much. Very kind of you..."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
Electric guitar chord.
BS: "Ok, this is a...a new song off our new album, which is called
Get Ready. It's called 60 Miles An Hour, which is the speed limit in
England actually. So if you ever go to England, be careful how far...
how fast you drive, because it's a lot faster than your speed limit,
which I believe I believe is, eh, only a hundred kilometers an hour.
Very interesting point there."
Hooky blows the intro.
PH: "Unh..."
Hooky's bassline is a bit different than the recorded version.
You can also hear Phil Cunningham on backing vocals I think.
BS: "Thank you. Fuckin' 'ell, you liked that one? What did we
do right there? Is there something...and you never heard it
before, neither?"
Hooky strums a bit more.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, you might have heard this hoary old chestnut we're
about to play, it's called...it called Blue Monday. It's about the
porno channels in German hotels. Which are absolutely disgusting."
All the audience claps along to this one.
BS: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And, eh...you
[might as well know?] we'll be back again soon. Keep your dick
in your pants, bye bye!"
This was performed to commemorate John Peel's forty years
in radio. New Order were originally scheduled to attend, but
due to the event being postponed, were not able to be there
at the rescheduled date, so instead, they performed a song
on videotape and sent it in.
The date assigned represents the original air date, the song
was probably taped a few days before. Available in Realmedia
and as a .mp3.
For the first time ever, New Order (as New Order, that is) perfrom
Transmission!
(Although Daniel Butt reported that there were rumors that NO
was soundchecking this song during some of their '98 gigs)
BS: "Hallo, Jon, here's to...ah, 40 years in the business. Ehm, if
you've not played our record 20 years ago, how long is it Hooky?"
PH: "It's a long time, I know that..."
BS: (continues) "If you've not played our record all those years ago,
we wouldn't be here today, so thanks a lot.
PH: "Here's to the next 40 years, mate!"
BS: "Alright, this is a Joy Division song called Transmisson, and no
spitting, please."
What's interesting about this performance is the locale, which looks
to be at the Morris' (or is that the Gilberts'?) Macclesfield farm.
I think that's Phil Cunningham in the background (to the left behind
Barney) playing guitar, he can only be seen a couple of times. It looks
like Gillian wasn't present (or playing) during the performance.
I'd really like to know how he hooked up with New Order.
My opinion is that this is a pretty damn good version. No whoops...
well, only one.
And as noted on the Ceremony list, there's indeed a poster of Touched By
The Hand Of God hanging from one of the walls.
BS: "Thanks a lot, John. Keep on rookin'!"

NME Review
Subject: (Fac33) From nme.com
THE DAWN OF A NEW ORDER WORLD
NEW ORDER started their UK tour on home turf last night (October 4)
with their first major MANCHESTER show for nearly three years.
The band played the first night of a two-night residency at the
Manchester Apollo to a suitably packed crowd of local fans and friends.
Excepting a minor appearance to launch next year's Commonwealth Games, the
last time they played in the city was New Year's Eve 1998.
The performance, at almost two hours in duration, was unusually long for
a
The hometown crowd were typically wild, with vocalist Bernard Sumner
forced to ask people to move back after 'True Faith' because of fears of
crushing at the front.
He joked, "Free drinks at the bar on me. That's only if you go now."
Bassist Peter Hook responded "Fucking hell, that's a once-in-a-lifetime
offer!"
Billy Corgan, who had accompanied the band on their US tour and at their
comeback show at Liverpool Olympia in July, did not appear. However,
Hooky acknowledged absent keyboard player Gillian Gilbert, calling into
the crowd, "Are you alright G? Are they looking after you in there?"
New Order return to the Apollo tonight (October 5), then play Glasgow
Barrowlands (7-8), before playing three nights at London's Brixton
Academy next week (October 10-12).
The next single from 'Get Ready' has been confirmed as '60 Miles An
Hour', released on October 22.
Manchester Evening New Review:
From: "John Gardner"
'Rock legends return - New Order
WE hope you enjoy it, mused Bernard Sumner as New Order, the city's most
enduring musical export and probably its most influential, took the
stage for their first home-town gig for nearly three years.
It would have been impossible for anyone in the sell-out house not to
have enjoyed it.
They haven't changed much New Order were always the rock band dance fans
liked and the dance act rock fans could get into but at the same time,
they have, which explains why the audience comprised as many 40-somethings
who remember them first time round as it did 20-somethings.
With former Marion man Phil Cunningham standing in for Gillian Gilbert
on keyboards and guitar, that was also the case on stage.
The new album Get Ready is a bit mixed, but it does include a few gems.
One such is Crystal, which kicked off the show. Its thumping bass-line
allowed the leonine Peter Hook, whose bass is so low-slung these days it
scrapes the floor, to show off his idiosyncratic playing style.
Whereas most bands treat gigs as a chance to showcase the new stuff, New
Order, as they get older, are exhuming more and more of the Joy Division
back catalogue, with a suitably sombre Transmission being the pick.
But what everyone wanted to hear were the New Order classics. Bizarre
Love Triangle received a curious acid house treatment which didn't quite
come off, while Touched by the Hand of God was touched instead by a dollop
of funk which sounded little more than work-in-progress.
The highlight was unquestionably a majestic True Faith, with Temptation
a close second. They could only finish the gig with one track, and a
triumphant Blue Monday for which Gillian appeared duly concluded the
show.'
Some other random comments:
> Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 13:58:38
Writeup of main set only. The copy of this in my possession
doesn't have the listed encore tracks.
AW: "Arthur Baker...just give us a couple of minutes, couple
of minutes while the guys get ready cuz I just want to tell you
something about these guys. It's not all dollars and dimes.
I really love these guys, I love 'em. I love Hooky's legs,
I love Bernard's bottom, and I love Steve's mouth. Eh, you
listen...you know they've got their own musical influences,
and we're very honoured tonight to have a guest here that's
gonna be with 'em that's kind of launched them on their
career. I want to give you a big Manchester welcome to
Mr. Max Bygraves! Max."
"Max": Alright, it's not Max, it's Ken. To a fucking good
time and let New Order rock the fucking house!"
AW: "So give them a welcome....it's JOY DIVISION!"
Chants of 'New Order' can be heard.
Crystal
BS: "I must apologize for, eh, Hooky's boyfriend's speech there.
It's the big guy, it's the portly guy, he likes 'em big.
Anyway, we're New Order, you're the audience, and this is
Crystal."
He says this through some nice-sounding feedback.
Bernard messes up on the first line and/or the vocals weren't
turned up on time.
BS: "Thank you. Wooo!"
PH: "You're very kind.
BS: "Well..." (or some similar interjection)
PH: (at the same time, making it hard to hear what Bernard said)
"It's girls, not boys."
Transmission
BS: "It's not like chanting for New Order, because this is
a Joy Division song, it's called Transmission."
Regret
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play you a New Order song. This is called
Regret."
Audience member says something in hard-to-decipher brogue near
the start. Levels go up around the 2:20 point.
BS: "Thank you. Fucking hard work, this, you know."
Ceremony follows.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Eh, this is...this is a song off our new album, and it's
called 60 Miles, uh, Miles An Hour, or 60 MPH ...I don't know
what that it is in kilometers, I'll let you work it out for
yourself."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "'ank you. So we better chill things out a little bit now,
because I don't know about you lot, but I'm getting pretty hot
up here. And you know what, I don't like getting hot. I don't
think anyone does really, do they? Well, not anyone from Manchester."
A few seconds pause.
BS: "Please welcome our new guitarist, Mr. Phillip Cunningham.
Good Northern lad. Although he's too posh for us now, he lives
in LA. Stuck up twat. Okay, this is Your Silent Face."
Playing goes a bit askew at 3:30 point.
Bernard doesn't sing the signature lines, but the fans fill it
in just fine.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Fans chant...you know what...
Slow_Jam
BS: "Bunch of Manchester United fans in here tonight. (quite a
few fans boo, it's mostly City folks) Good to hear it. I'm going
to an England match tomorrow. Good to hear it. I think I've run
out of things to say actually, you're right. This is Slow Jam,
off our new album."
Close_Range
BS: "Eh, this is another song off the new album, it's called
Close Range."
BS: "Thank you."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
PH: "Heh heh he...three guesses [mumble]..."
Punter yells out the right answer.
PH: "Ah, you were here last night, you bastard."
BS: "Pardon? Excuse Hooky's sparkling wit there. He usually
starts the swearing at this time of night, don't approve of it
myself."
PH: "Fuck off."
BS: "See what I mean? Very...right. This is Touched By The Hand Of
God."
Quite a few "woahs" throughout. As well as some good wah-wah from
Phil.
BS: "'k you. Did you like the new dance? (chuckles) It's ridiculous,
really, ain't it [word].... W've got to do something, don't we, in between singing.
It's a bit of a hop, really innit, more than a dance.
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
This song is about Hooky and his boyfriend who came on earlier. Big
fat Al. Oh, sorry, big fat Ken, and it's called...Bizarre Love
Triangle."
PH: "Truth is stranger than fiction."
BS: "Or soon-to-be boyfriend..."
(at end)
BS: "Ohh, thank you."
Chants of...well...you know...Synth note.
True_Faith
BS: "Where's Hooky gone? He's like a fookin' Jack-in-the-Box, isn't he?
You'll have to put a chain 'round your leg."
PH: "It's all my youthful energy, you see."
BS: "All right, this is True Faith."
punter: "One of the best songs...Bernard..."
BS: "Thank you. You know, we never ever ever ever get the end of that
song right. And it's Hooky's fault, always."
PH: "You don't mean that, Barney..." [not 100% sure if that's what he
actually says]
BS: "Sometimes it's Steve, and sometimes it's Phil, but it's never
fucking me."
PH: "We can do it with more members of the band."
BS: "Actually, it's the audience's fault."
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is a song that you all know and love. It is Temptation."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "In your one time, when you're ready.
Blood curdling scream near the end...
BS: "Thank you!"
Atmosphere
PH: "You certainly turned me a [mumble], fuck me. Right, Andrew.
Andrew Fisher, we're all thinking about you, mate, this is for you.
I hate that fucker...one, two, three, four..."
BS: "Thank you, good night. Been a fucking great audience..."

Quality not quantity tho'.
Despite not setting off the metal detectors I was frisked anyway.
Glad I didn;t take my minidisc.
Got it in ok to the first manc night..but the band were a bit off
at points plus I had a lady with me who insisted in talking during
and between songs. ggrrrrrrrrrrrr
met up with Al and Jon and bumped into several other faces from the
manc show. Sound blokes the lot of them :-)
Onto tomorrow night we go :-D!!!

As already mentioned by Colin, the Glasgow gig was something a bit
special being described by one of the venue promoters as perhaps one
of the most impressive gigs he had ever seen.
Ally and myself were left in the enviable position of viewing the bands
soundcheck in the cavernous Barrowland along with perhaps only 8 others
in attendance. Bernard completed "Rock The Shack" then exited stage left
leaving the remaining members of the band to play "Crystal" with a
member of the bands crew looking after vocals. A couple of run throughs
seemed to please the band then Hooky hit us with "Transmission", again
with a management member taking care of the vox.

Hi Ceremony Gang.
Just wanted to share with you my New Order Glasgow experience:
(setlist updates at end, if you want to skip my ramble)
I just got back to Boston from Glasgow and saw both shows there.
I exploited having a good friend to visit as an excuse to fly over
to see my favorite band!! Had to keep up my record of seeing them
at least once every year they've toured since 1986. right?!
The Sunday night show absolutely blew the roof off the Barrowlands!!!
It was truly amazing. We were down front-center of the stage, and
the moment the boys stepped on stage the crowd started hopping.
By the end of the first song, we were drenched, but everyone just
kept going. Later as the night went on the sweat mixed with tears of
joy.
It was quite nice of them to throw in a couple slower songs just to get
a break from the aerobics. Bernard and Hooky were totally having a
blast, smiling and telling the audience how great we were, and joking
with each other about getting old, bragging over who had the better
roadie. heh.
Brilliant show!
Afterward I waited around front trying to get a setlist or something
cool, but I had to settle for one of Bernard's plectrums.
No big deal, probably never even used, but I play guitar a bit
so I can use with the pleasure of knowing where it came from!
I have to say, I love seeing NewOrder in the UK. There seems to be
more camaraderie. More people know all the songs instead of just
the hits. When you're in the pit hopping around, everyone is
your Best friend. It's good fun!

hey guys
i like how before "your silent face" the crowd (at least the crowd
surrounding the taper) is chanting "true faith" so my question is
whether the entire audience was chanting this, or just a part of
the crowd was chanting. Surely someone from this list attended
and can advise on this.
Al Jarvis doesn't recall hearing this, so most likely it was only
the part of the crowd around the taper.

Everything else OK.
Report of 10/8 from Johnathan Scott.
From: "Jonathan Scott"
The Glasgow gigs were absolutely fantastic - knocking the MCR gigs well into
second place (imho) - slightly diff. set than in MCR in that the set was a
little shorter but the bands performance was phenomenal.
Great to meet many Ceremony boys at the gigs including Deron from Boston who
came looking for me after the second show.
Last nights gig was slightly marred by the lack of an encore - something
that is being blown way out of proportion by local press & radio & sadly by
some greatly misinformed "fans". I was especially happy at last nights show
as although it was my last of any major tour, Hooky dedicated "Touched by
the Hand of God" to me anouncing that "this is for Kens mate Jonathan - He's
on the slippery slope to hell..." before Barney intro'd the song as "Touched
by the Hand of...the Promoter" an "in joke" that is best left untold on
these pages...
The party at MAS was a bit of a hoot with many of the old boys dancing like
loons to the sounds of tracks old and new and most notably The Happy Mondays
& Stone Roses.

They didn't do an encore on Monday night. Local radio station, Radio Clyde
got lots of calls complaining. I heard some folk saying Hooky got spat at,
and Barney too much abuse as well, which put the band in a bad mood.
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 17:11:45
I have to say, I love seeing NewOrder in the UK. There seems to be
more camaraderie. More people know all the songs instead of just
the hits. When you're in the pit hopping around, everyone is
your Best friend. It's good fun!
So for the Monday night show we decided to chill further back
and just enjoy the sights and sounds. I'd already had the
ecstatic gig experience, so night #2 was just gravy.
It ended up having a very different feel to it from the beginning.
I don't know...the band wasn't into it? the crowd wasn't into it?
It was a Monday night so audience wasn't rested and amp'd like they
were on Sunday? Don't get me wrong, NO sounded fantastic!!
But they weren't joking around, there were fewer hands flying in the
air, fewer Bernard "whoops!" and general banter, etc.
It ended on a bit of a bad note, with no encore and a surly boo-ing
crowd.
I thought the show was still terrific, and all they were going to play
was blue monday, anyway. But it was definitely a down note, contrary
to the mile-high note of the night before. It might be interesting
to hear the different shows. Anyone record both?? :)
To top the weekend off, while I was waiting at the airport for my
flight, along walked Stephen Morris. What do you know! I gently
approached him looking picking out a book to read and chatted with
him for a while.
He had no idea (well he was going to tell) about what happened Mon
night. And about touring the US, he said "we'll see", though he said
they do like to play in CA (where I'm from and will be returning shortly).
So we just chatted a bit, I didn't want to impose too much. His
personal assistant had questions for him, etc. Unfortunately, didn't see
the others...
Though Arthur Baker was also in the airport, in fact he sat in the same
row as me on the plane from Glasgow to Heathrow, just across the aisle.
Of course I said hello to him, as well.

From: jo
owww my ears really hurt... here's what was played tonight, it was
bloody loud. And all the new songs were really distorted where I was
sat, whereas the older ones came across brilliantly
From: "spiky"
Bloody Bloody Loud!
Wasn't sure I was going to enjoy them after all this time, but a very
chirpy Bernard and a seriously posing Hook-meister made for a very memorable
set. I took 3 NO newbies along and they were as enthusiastic as the die
hards.
Roll on tomorrow night
Spiky
From: Andrew Balgobin
Seconded. ear-splitting stuff, but hooky's mannerisms and barney's chat
made for a very fine gig. the roof came off the place for LWTUA.
andrew
From: "Mark"
Well, no time for a review at the mo, but the sound mix was rough as
hell : Close Range sounded awful and all over the place (I didn't
recognise it) True Faith (The intro was near enough the same) and
Rock The Shack (just terrible full stop)
More later, see you all tonight, I swear I saw some listees there...
Mark
From: "Steve Waller"
For some reason I just knew Barney was going to do the countdown in
Temptation!
I agree with Dan's comments on the songs, Close Range didn't really
work, and to have dropped BM, TBTHOG and True Faith wouldn't have
concerned me.
I'd also almost forgotten Barney throwing his towel into the audience
and then asking for it back.
I quite like Turn My Way, so would've been pleased to hear that.
Absolutely nothing from Technique or Low Life either - sacrilege!
(he also goes on, in a seperate message...)
I agree with the others - sound was really awful at first - just like
a wall of guitars. It did get better though. I don't think I've ever
seen the band as chirpy, and to see Hooky roaming all over the place
was an oddity - think it even surprised Barney as he told him to go back
to his corner. Other good bits of banter were Barney admitting that 60mph
isn't really that fast, giving the crowd an introduction to the melodica,
and admitting they'd made a hash of RTS before (and promptly doing it
again). Liked the cheesy lights going with the colours in Temptation.
First time I've ever seen LWTUA or Transmission, so both made it
special.
They even had a female backing singer - whatever next - dancers?!!!
Someone remind me who introduced them? I know it's Alan something...
So, tonight would be great if we could have Dreams Never End or
Everything's Gone Green, but I think I may be disappointed!
One last thing - selling Technique t-shirts there?!! Was that
remaindered stock?
From: Daniel Butt
Agree about the sound, but it did improve, so you should be alright
tonight. Funny, cos normally the Academy's pretty good like that. I
couldn't hear much of what Barney was saying, but he was certainly
talkative. Have to get a boot and find out :) If I'm being
hyper-critical,
a couple of the bits of the set are sounding a bit over-familiar now,
TBTHOG and the Perfecto style True Faith in particular. I do think they
could do some reprogramming. Crystal and (to my slight surprise) 60MPH
were both fantastic, really rocking, and it's always great seeing NO do
a track for the first time. Ditto, of course, Your Silent Face, although
I wish now that I hadn't known they were going to play it. Still, one
of my favourite NO songs, and a real treat to hear it - and obviously
the same goes for Transmission. No "wooh!" after "we can dance", Michael!
In fact, the yelps seem to have an increasingly harder edge. Ceremony
and BLT were terrific some great riffs from the Hookmeister. Close Range
was pretty much a non-event - not my favourite song on the album, and
not a particularly good version. Wish they'd done Primitive Notion instead.
Still, gave me a chance for a breather. No "Turn My Way", thankfully.
Went off pre-encore with Barney saying something like "See you in another
15 years. Or maybe 15 minutes", which gave us a clue that we weren't going
to be in a Glasgow situation. I really enjoyed "Rock the Shack"! Barney
said they always cocked it up, and they did, although it was (allegedly)
Hooky's fault. Blue Monday was Blue Monday. "Barney: "There's one song
left. Now, which song haven't we played? It was a hit in 1981 or 2 or 3
or 4...") I really think they're wrong if they think they have to play it.
Imagine the rection if they did Perfect Kiss, or Procession, or, damnit,
Round & Round instead. Never mind - still good to see Hooky pounding
that drum thing and chucking his sticks into the audience.
Out of guilt of not paying him enough attention in the past, I spent a
goodly time watching Steve last night. The man is a legend. Many thanks
to the bizarrely mysterious benefactor who draped a (bootleg) T-shirt over
my shoulders as I was tying up a shoelace outside the front and then
disappeared. I'm wearing it now. No thanks to the absolutely-off-his-tits
goon at the front who flailed about like a drunken Cyberman, refused to
allow his legs to support his body and then had to pulled out the front
by the bouncers - only to reappear 3 minutes later. Moderate your intake,
my man.
(Chris Au says "hey, i was one of guys who helped lift him over the
barrier. he wasn't exactly impressed...")
Best moment - Temptation - Barney, "One, two, three, FOUR!"
Dan
From: Ashley Williams
They came on at 9:15 although it looked like it might be earlier but
seemed as if they were having probs with one of the bass amps (i think).
Finished at 10:50.
Tube strike starts at midnight tonight but service could be affected
earlier. Depending on where you need to get to (mainline) trains go
from Brixton to Victoria...tomorrow night should be more difficult...

From: "Sijad Malik"
they came on about 9.15 and finished about 11-ish. The tube strike
starts at midnight so you should be alright.
The sound was loud yesterday, but the vocals were way too low.
The new songs sounded shite and the audience didn't really respond,
though I thought RTS was quite good. best bit though was Temptation
followed by LWTUA, just amazing. I intend to get up at the front
2morro!
Transcription:
Alan Wise introduces. Recording is faded up.
AW: "...Arthur Baker. You won't guess who that was. That, my friends
was Arthur Baker. Just one, just one minute of your time before the
band come on. Because I want to tell you something about them that
will touch ya. These guys love music. These guys love music. Just
today, they came up to me they said, "Dad, we want you to come and
listen to this guy." And they took me to an old tramp in Brixton.
They said, "Just listen to the beautiful music he's singing." And,
listen, he was going, "My old mum's a dustman..." Which just shows
that those fucking cunts have got no taste. Welcome, the band formerly
known as Joy Division, NEW ORDER!"
Loud chants of NU ODAH NU ODAH NU ODAH.
BS: "Hello."
Hooky interrupts, can't make it out besides "You...". Bernard talks
over it.
BS: "Sorry about that, I ain't got a clue what he wants."
Weird high-pitched female voice says, "Stand on me...I wan't to see 'em!".
BS: "Okay..."
She whines and then says, "Oh, stop it!"
BS: "It's been a while since we've played in London. Probably
going back the region of fifteen years."
Female: "Fifteen years."
BS: "But believe you me, we've done some very interesting years in our
private time. Hooky's got into Acid, 'en. Phil's gotten into
bestiality. Stephen's gotten into the Beastie Boys."
Crystal
BS: "Anyway, this is Crystal."
Levels adjusted a bit downward at about 1:30. The woman continues to
scream as if she's getting crushed, it's a bit unpleasant to listen to.
BS: "Thank you! Thank you."
Weird female voice mutters in another language, sounds like Chinese.
Transmission
PH: "That's very kind, you're very kind. This one's for Jane tonight, it's
you're birthday, Jane. And we know what every girl wants on her
birthday. Phil."
At 2:39, Hooky yells out (off-mic): "C'mon, you gits!"
BS: "Thank you. That was a bit of a surprise, wasn't it?"
Fade-out at this point.
Regret
BS: "I must apologize in advance for the whiteness of my trainers. They're
not brand new, but they were a gift from Adidas [drum fill], our sponsors
[cymbal crash] this evening. Only joking, we don't resort to sponsorship.
Anyway, this is Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you!"
Ceremony
BS: "Thank you very much. This next one, there's a group of English people
that followed us around America recently on our tour when we supported
Moby and, erm, there's a lot of requests for Ceremony, and this is for
them."
A few seconds while they tune up a bit, and then they get right into it.
(at end)
BS: "Thank you!"
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Wow, it's hot. You want a towel? I've not got any, anyone got one?
It's not...anyway...give it back when you've finished."
(this is where he throws his towel into the audience and then asks for
it back)
BS: Okay, this is...off our new album, it's called 60 Miles An Hour, it's
about not quite breaking the speed limit, but getting up close to it, because
we're all rebels, basically."
BS: "Thank you!"
BS mutters something, and then says, "Anyone got a towel?"
Your_Silent_Face
(original CD I have of this recording doesn't tracksplit here)
BS: "Okay, just to show that we're not about just throbbing guitars, this
song features a throbbing melodica. If you don't know what one of them
is, I'll show ya. This song is called Your Silent Face."
BS: "Thank you."
Atmosphere is missing from my version.
Edit at this point. Tape misses the first part of Bernard's introduction
for the following song.
Close_Range
BS: "...a little bit now with a song off our new album called Close Range."
(at end)
BS: "Yo!"
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
PH: (menacingly) "I know I'd fucking jump at you, you tight cunt!"
BS: "We're professionals...tune up...is the first thing. Okay, this is
Touched By The Hand Of God...and it's about...God."
Really good version.
BS: "Thank you!"
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "All I can see are these fucking trainers. Everybody need a little
room? I bought them in Glasgow two days ago. Had to do something while
I was warbling off. Okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle, features Ayatollah
Hook on bass, Ayatollah Morris on keyboards."
Yes, this is what he actually said, it seems...unless someone can prove
me wrong.
BS: "Thank you!"
More loud shouts of NU ODAH NU ODAH...
True_Faith
BS: "You know, no matter how shit you get, it's nice to hear what a great
bunch of songs we're written. Don't know if that makes you feel any better,
but it certainly makes me feel better. And I'm not being [mutters] and this
is True Faith, and we're just start fe...the gigs(?)"
(need a bit of help with the last part)
Intro funk-style guitar part is wretched. Bernard says "Whoa!" and
people exclaim a bit...maybe he's dancing again.
BS: "Thank you!"
BS: "Well, thought that was young pants for a minute, Hooky."
PH: "He shouted, he didn't even fight me for that, you noticed."
Somebody cries for Mr. Disco.
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is Temptation. No smart comments, nothing, just a
beautiful song."
BS: "Good night(?)!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "Ready, Bernard. Tell me when."
BS: "Yeah, I'm ready, ready, ready.
PH: "Ok. No, you're wrong. 1-2-3-4!"
(probably directed at heckler, not Bernard)
Barney yells "Come on!!" about 1:45 into the track, and Hooky says
"Here we go!" about 2:12 in.
BS: "Thank you! See you again in fifteen years. More like fifteen
minutes." Fade out.
Fade in.
Some fiddling and tuning goes on before the Order start the encore.
Hooky says "Hey Hey", though it could have been Phil for all I know.
Rock_The_Shack
Humourously, the liner notes credit vocals to a "Billy Gillespie".
BS: "Yeah, please welcome...on stage with us, Bobby Gillespie from
Primal Scream. We're gonna do a song off our album which he's featured
on called Rock The Shack. We've played it six times, and fucked it up
every single time. Actually if you wanna spot it, his guitar solo in
the middle, let's give it another go. Here we go!"
And indeed they fuck up the intro.
BS: "Hang on...fucked up...whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. (can't make out
whatever is repeated twice after this) Peter, pay attention please!
I've gotta wait for you. Here we go, here we go again, start it,
here we go. It's punk."
I hold the minority viewpoint that this is the better of two collaborations
on the Get Ready album, but you probably wouldn't know it by listening to
this. :)
BS: "Yeah! Thank you. Bobby Gillespie, all the way from Scotland!"
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, let's see, what song haven't we played yet? It was a
big hit in 1981...1982...1983...1984."
PH: "Let's go on, Bernard. Hahehehe."
BS: "This is Blue Monday."
Blue Monday is performed.
Really expressive instrumentation starting at the 5:30 point.
PH: "It's nice to be back, thank you. Good night, London(?)
We could play for all bloody night, we're still up for it."
Setlist:
Crystal
Transmission
Regret

Ruined In A Day
Comments:
From: "spiky"
Well night No.2 and, if I'm not mistaken, even louder and better than
last night. Not as much banter tonight, but a fantastic atmosphere
(that's the ambience not the song!)
Set was same as last night except Rock the Shack was replaced with
Ruined in a Day.
I took some pix - if they're any good I'll post them somewhere - watch
this space.
If anyone wants to go tomorrow, the scalpers/touts are knocking tickets
out at pretty much face value, and there doesn't seem to be a shortage.
From: "spiky"
Last night "Apple" and "Pears"
Tonight "Heaven" and "Hell"

Intro
Alan Wise comperes.
AW: "You won't believe it, but the guy up there is Arthur Baker.
How we got these people, I don't know. I want to give a big thank-you
to Garlic, Garlic who performed before. Before I introduce to you
five guys who love their work, they love it, and they're here to
love it with you, they're called New Order!"
BS: "Okay, hello, we're New Order. As you know already. We'll
start the set tonight with Crystal.
Bit of a dropout at 4:55.
BS: "Thank you! Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot.
Fans cheer out NU ORDAH, NU ORDAH...
BS: "If you bear with us, we're a little bit tired and emotional last
night. Well, forget the emotion. This is Transmission."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Okay, this is called Regret."
Another dropout about 0:50 in, tape tracking issues.
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Okay, we're gonna hop back to the dark days of the past now.
This is probably one of the last songs we wrote as Joy Division,
and one of the very first songs we wrote as New Order. It's called
Ceremony."
Fans chant out again...
Thank you. This is going to be our new single, which will be found
on Top Of The Pops tonight. It's called...yes, we do have two jobs,
it's called _60__Miles_An_Hour, or get if you know by phone."
(last phrase I can't fully parse)
BS: "Okay, just to chill you out a little bit noew, for my sake, we're
gonna play Your_Silent_Face."
Somebody yells out "Hooky" in a slightly muffled voice, dunno who.
BS: "Okay, we're going to keep it low-down and moody now...and then...
this is a song, my favorite song actually, Atmosphere."
Which they play.
BS: "We're gonna pick up the pace a little bit now, and uh, this is a
track off our new album Get Ready, it's called Close_Range."
Version of the song resembles the 'Dream On' demo more than the
rendition that ended up on the album, and is quite stirring.
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Okay, this is Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God"
(after)
BS: "That sound should be called 'Fucked' cuz, erm, cuz what have
they asked us for, not to mention our manager. Peter, wait till
after. He's got bored with me then."
BS: "Right, this is Bizarre_Love_Triangle"
(after)
BS: "Thank you!"
Some guitar noodling between tracks.
BS: "Okay, anyone know what we're gonna play next. One at a time,
please. This is True_Faith."
BS: "Thank you. Do you know...we've played, we played how many gigs
this week, Hooky? we played fucking six gigs this week, and we've never
gotten the end of that song right. You know what, it's always my
fault. It is."
PH: "Everything's always your fault."
BS: "Okay. [Hooky laughs] Anyway, we'll make sure we get the end of
this one right. This is Temptation."
People "oh, oh oh oh" during the verses.
I like to introduce, from Clingham, our new guitarist. Dawn Zed, there
she is, and my new, shiny new Adidas trainers. I always buy Adidas,
er, ok, whenver I go out. I find them exteremely comfortable [cymbal
crash], and since I've taken up jogging, they're the ones to run in.
[kick drum]. Not that I...feel anything. Anyway...what were we doing?
Oh, yeah, we're playing a set, aren't we. This is
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart.
PH: "We're joined by the lovely Dawn, c'mon Dawn, take a bow."
BS: "C'mon, don't be shy, Dawn."
PH: "Woooo! Get right into it, let's fucking go. 1-2-3-4!"
They perform the JD classic.
BS: "Thank you. You're a great audience. Sorry we're a little bit
fucked, but we are. Thank's a lot, you've been great!"
Hooky ends on a two-note bass vamp.
A couple of cuts during the pre-encore bit, and then a fade-out and
fade-in to the home stretch.
PH: "(I bet?) you've got thirty years in Glasgow and gotten away with
it, eh. No, fuck you, you Cockney bastards."
BS: "Oh yeah, yeah...Okay, one two one two. You want your bloody
money's worth free(?)...don't you?"
A bit of guitar soundchecking.
BS: "Okay, this is Ruined_In_A_Day."
(at end)
BS: "Yeah! All right, from Ruined In A Day to Blue_Monday. Do you
get it? Ruined In A Day. Blue Monday. Dead funny. Dead real funny.
I thought."
Bernard yells out something I can't make out at 6:25 of this.

Ruined In A Day
From: "Al Jarvis"
Everything's Gone Green!
Sadly, though it was just Arthur Baker doing the 2 former tracks, and
Hooky giving us 45 second soundbites of the latter 2, Age of Consent at
the end of the set, Dreams Never End at the end of the encores. Teasing
little minx, that he is.
As for New Order, it was just a runthrough by numbers again last night.
Yawn.
From: Andrew Balgobin
just got back from the gig. rough sounding to start with, improved
immensely thereafter. magic moment - barney and hooky's handshake after
a storming true faith.

A longer, much longer review
From: "Dave Stephenson"
Oich oich evil listees.
Brixton Academy on Friday the 12th then.......
It was my 4th New Order gig (Reading, Ally Pally and Liverpool being the
other 3) but my girlfriend's 1st. And she was pretty excited about the
whole thing in a way whcih made Beatlemania look tame. It took us 5 hours
to get from Birmingham to Brixton - mainly due to spending a total of 1 hour
in various service stations and hitting London at half past four. And as
for the last little leg round the academy - that'll be 200 yards on 45
minutes then!
But, with car safely parked in the multi storey car park and eyes overdosed
on people falling off skateboards, off we trotted to the front steps of the
academy. After 4 years I finally managed to meet up with Chris Au who, by
all accounts, is an all round top bloke. Off we headed to a local hostelry
where I suddenly realised that I had been transported into an episode of
late 80's Channel 4 sitcom Desmond's. After watching the pub fill up with
both types of New Order fans (spotty students and football hooligans),
hearing the words "Jonathan Scott" far too often and with Candice
"entertaining" random old men with her drunken dancing (she hadn't eaten
bless her) we decided to make the short hop skip and jump over to the main
hall.
OK, so it was 2 hours until New Order were due to go on stage but we did get
to listen to a band called "Haven" (I think) who were "OK" and then we got
Arthur Baker "mixing". Ahhhh, now I expect you're all sat there going "no
you young fool - he wasn't supposed to be mixing like they do in Gatecrasher
and places - go and eat a piece of wood and behave" but I was personally
impressed with AB. Because he managed to build up a fantastic atmosphere
through his choice of rekkids. Candice and I arsed about with some
"hilariarse" hard house dancing while Thieves Like Us was played and a whole
host of "Wow - I haven't heard this record since I was this high" type stuff
came on. Our apologies to Chris for making it look like you were standing
with two spazmongs.
Anyhooooooo. After far too long a wait (it was half 9 by the time they
arrived) New Order took the stage and so began the best gig I've seen them
play. Not because it was technically brilliant or because the renditions
of the songs they did were better than usual - it was just the fact that
they were enjoying themselves so much. Candice did in fact behave like a
12 year old girl at a Westlife concert. Now, I'm no expert on these
matters but I find it quite disturbing that a 25 year old woman swoons at a
fat sweaty old man. But swoon she did and jumped around like Zebbedee when
60MPH, TBTHOG and True Faith made an appearance. We managed to make a
small hole for ourselves in front of the dividing railings between the stage
and the mixing desk so we had a good view whilst still being able to
breathe.
Crystal is a fantastic opening song. BUT if you are going to open with it
you need to take out the intro piano. It just needs to open with that
guitar assault. Cos that's why Regret works so well to start off with -
instant audience connection. Atmosphere was majestic as ever (although
Candice finds JD depressing and so pretended to hang herself. I don't
think that went down too well with the JD fans behind us!) and Transmission
rocked. Close Range was also also a belter. Now there came a small
problem though. Earlier in the gig we'd lost Chris who'd run off to the
front so that he could get battered and bruised in the infamous New Order
mosh pit. Fortunately he arrived back at our little haven of space as
Temptation came on. There was I, admiring the cheesey blue / green / grey
eyes lighting, bouncing like a mad loon and singing along at the top of my
little voice when BOSH - goodnight Vienna. A lack of food, two pints of
lager, no water intake and the heat made me pass out like a big girls
blouse. No, it wasn't the sight of Hooky's trousers. Honest. So,
there's me lying on the floor in the middle of a few hundred people and
Candice is trying to pick me up. After about 30 seconds I come round and
stand up. "Right" I say. "Lets get to the side so I can get some air"
And off we trundle when WHOOMPF down I go again. Yes, I really am that
shandy arsed. If it wasn't for Mr. Au being there then I'd have spent the
rest of the gig on the floor cos I was literally out cold and NO-ONE was
helping at all. Candice said afterwards that the people around us just
went "oh look, he's fainted", turned round and kept on moshing. But Chris
and Candice managed to haul my carcass to the side and bring me round.
There are benefits of going out with a nurse!
Security came and let us outside for a bit which gave me some air and woke
me up again. So back in we went just in time for the encore. Anyways,
HUGE thanks to Chris for your help - from both of us. Much apologies for
interrupting the gig for you and if there is any damage to your funky
flashing shirt from me being a heavy twunt to carry then let me know and
I'll send you a cheque. Hope you got home OK as well - would have loved to
give you a lift but it would have added an extra couple of hours to our
journey - evil London traffic! We didn't get back until 4:30 anyway! Was
great to finally actually meet you in person - and we'll have to do it again
sometime. Especially if you know people up in Shrewsbury - the
entertainment capital of England ;-P.
The gig was fantastic though. Gillian and Kim dancing along behind the
rest of em as well. And it looks to me that New Order are enjoying
themselves so much that there's at least one more album in them. *Fingers
crossed*
Fainting Jack
The intro to this gig comes to you from Alan Wise. I was able to
match it to this night due to the writing on the monitor stacks.
(from audience recording)
AW: "...no fucking microphone. I can't believe that that's Arthur
Baker up there, everyone. Arthur Baker, a round of applause. Arthur
baker, the producer. How do we get people like that?"
(the video version starts here)
AW: "Many years ago, I met four young boys, and one young girl. Who
had their owns minds they wanted to do it their way. They wanted to do
it differently than everyone else. And they came to me and said, "Al,
can you help us?". Ha. And now they've done three nights here, and if
they could, they'd like to do another six. But can someone, someone
tell them where else they can play? Just send a message in to their
agent. I want to introduce to you a band that used to be known as,
you all know this, used to be called Joy Division, you all know it!
And now they got a new name, yeah, they're now called, welcome on
stage, those fabulous guys from...New Order!"
BS: "What was all that about, then? I don't understand what he was
saying. Hallo. We are New Order. And we're going to play for
you tonight a set that's gonna make you jump up and down. Starting
with Crystal."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you!"
Transmission
PH: "Thank you. I want to dedicate this one to my daughter, she's
three today. God bless her!"
BS: "Thank you. I'd like to dedicate that to Pete Tong as well,
whose been a big help up here. Nice one, Pete."
Chants for New Order...
BS: "All right, I'm knackered now. Can we go off?"
Hooky mumbles something I can't make out while Bernard's speaking.
BS: "Can't wait until...[mumble]...a break, young cunt!"
PH: (interrupting again) Eh, John Sims is in the house, Johnny!
Get up, Johnny or what, give 'em a break, you old codge."
BS: "I can't wait for the slow ones. All right, this is Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you!"
Ceremony
BS: "Eh, I got a bit more energy tonight, thank God. I apologize
for the game last night, it was all my fault. Actually, it was all
Bobby Gillespie's fault. Okay, this is Ceremony.
PH: "I'd just like to, eh...24/7 party people..."
BS: "Thank you!"
All right, oh fuck, we dropped down again. Well, I was just going
to introduce you to Phil, our new guitarist, but I've just decided
to sack him! [drum] What you looking at, Roger? You fucking sack
[won't us]?"
PH: "You're not careful, we'll all sack you..."
Bernard ignores him.
BS: "So give him one more chance. All right, it's Phil Cunningham
actually. Used to be in a band called Marion. [guitar] Okay, this
is off our new album. I'm sure my record company would like to
announce that it'll be our new single. Hopefully, you'll all buy
it. It's called _60__Miles_An_Hour."
BS: "I Was gonna suggest that all the people up there get up and
move around, but we're gonna play a slow one now, so we'll save
it 'till later."
More chants of New Order...which Bernard reacts to.
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "That's a horrible tune you know you sing. Can't you think
of a better tune? Like New OrDEH! This is Your Silent Face."
At the 2:30 point, Bernard exclaims, "C'mon Hooky[?] [can't make out,
delivered in a growl-type voice]" to what I presume must be somewhat
deficient playing.
Some strumming at the end, and the sound of a guitar lead getting
Atmosphere
BS: "Well, a small technical problem up here, so please bear with
us for a few seconds while we work it out. We're a very professional
group, with a very professional set of roadies which are currently
working on the problem. There you go! Okay, this is Atmosphere."
PH: "One, two, three, four..."
Tape edit at this pint.
Close_Range
BS: "This is a fast song off our new album, it's called Close Range."
Tape dropout at about 1:35 or so.
BS: "Thank you!"
BS: "Oh, it's got a bit hot now, innit. It's very hot for the time of
year. It's October, you know. Being from Manchester, we're not
used to the sort of sunny weather you get down here in London."
BS: "Okay, this is...eh, yeah, let's tune up.
PH: "Where's [can't make out]... So civilized, unlike you fuckers."
BS: "All right, Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God."
Long pause at end.
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Fucking hell, it's hot. Then again, I'm a right moaning
bastard. Okay, are you ready chaps? Okay, this is Bizarre
Love Triangle."
Initial bass note is discongruously loud.
Some piano tinkles.
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, I like...I'd like to dedidcate...another dedication, there's
lots tonight. I'd like to dedicate this song to John Sims, who is
playing me in the film 24 Hour Party People. Actually, not to him but
to his new, erm, little boy Ryan. C'mon, give it a bit! Will ya?
Three, ya, you've got two. Just wait until the end, it's just started
All right, ok. True Faith."
(at end)
BS: "It's the first time we've ever gotten the fucking end of that song
right. Well, I get it right every night, but they fuck it up every night.
Whoa."
BS: "Any Manchester United fans here?"
Initial cheers, than loads of boos.
Hooky laughs.
BS: "You're just fucking jealous (of us), aren't you? All right,
this is Temptation."
Okay, well...hope you're having a good a time as I am. Trying to
think of something witty to say [something], but couldn't. Anyway,
this is, erm, going to be our last song, I'm afraid...and it's
Love Will Tear Us Apart.
BS: "When you're ready Hooky, when you're ready. I've only waited
two [somebody talks at the same time]...one two THREE FOUR!"
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, and thanks for waiting for so long and standing
by us. You're a great bunch of fans, I mean that!"
Hooky ends things with a two note melody that persists for a while...
and then he plays the bassline to Age Of Consent! Everybody claps
along.
PH: "Only joking, you miserable Cockney cunt."
Punter around the taper yells out "Wanker".
Rock_The_Shack
BS: "Hooky's still there, is he? Has anyone got any deodorant, it's
a bit hot up here. Andrew [something], if I fuck up this guitar, you're
in trouble, mate. Okay, we're gonna challenge you a little bit with a
very rocky song called Rock The Shack."
Hooky comes up with a bassline otherwise not heard in the song.
BS: "'ank you!"
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, okay. Now we've deafened you with all those noisy guitars,
we're going to groove you with some noisy bass drums. This is Blue
Monday."
BS: "Thank you, you've been fucking great. So have we. Or pretty good."
Hooky then plays the bassline to Dreams Never End, initially playing
it on the wrong fret. And then he plays something else, quite a
lovely melody that I can't place....but it eventually starts cutting
out. I find that these are the highlights of the show.
From: "spiky"
Opened with storming Crystal, followed by an ok Regret and closed with a
great 60mph and a crowd pleasing LWTUA.
Briefly interviewed with nothing hugely interesting said, but a clip of
them performing Blue Monday live on Top of the Pops in 1983 (nice haircuts
guys!)
Quick interview with Jeremy Vine who interviewed them in The Big Issue
in August, and John Simms who plays Barney in the 24 Hour Party People
movie. Bernard or Hooky shouted out that they gave the movie 6 out of 10.
Have recorded on VHS - will encode relevant parts to MPEG1 if anyone's
got some webspace to host it for all to enjoy. Contact me privately if so.

LWTUA
BS: "'ack you very much, we'll play one more song for you tonight,
which is an all-time favorite for us. It's a Joy Division song, called
Love Will Tear Us Apart."
The last part of the performance is marred by rolling credits.
BS: "Thank you! Thanks a lot!"

Don't have time right now, I gotta get a new bone-breaking session
tonight. They came onstage with Barney going like : "Je m'appelle
New Order, Je m'appelle Bernard, Je m'appelle Pierre, Je m'appelle
Stephane, Je m'appelle Phil Cunningham, Jem'appelle Crystal." -
also I was right in front of Bernard, like 2nd or 3rd row,
+with me head emerging from the whole audience (1m90) and bernard
staring at me in the eyes during two third of the gig, finally
pointing at me and admitting he never looked at me in a sexual
way in his life before :op
Just before Transmission, he mocked at a guy wearing some bootleg Joy
Division Tshirt, asking some guys where they were from ("Scotland",
they shouted) and asking them what they wanted the band to play "no
no we don't play Age Of Consent anymore..." Favorite bit was True Faith
(with some additional Barney guitar riffs during the intro) and weakest
moment was Bizarre Love Triangle cos I thought the song was slowed down
a bit (in fact it seemed the whole set was slowed down), Bizarre Love
Triangle, being one of my favorites, was not at its highest musical
potential. Hook stayed for a minute or so at the end of LWTUA, playing
bass for the song, the crowd chanting the chorus. Nice. At the encore,
Bernard came back with his coat on, tlling the crowd he was ready to leave
already, some roadie took his coat off, and then, as he was finishing
with the synth bits during Blue Monday, the roadie put his coat on as
he was still playing, and then he just left. It seems to me the set
was beautifully rendered, it looks like they didn't fucked up one song
at all. The beginning of the show was a bit injuring, everybody got
crushed, I thought I couldn't stand it really. It went quieter during
Your silent Face and Atmosphere, thank god :o)
Rock The Shack, despite being nicely played, didn't seem to gain much
interest from the audience. But all in all the band wasn't very talkative.
Hook performed his whole old floor-sweeping bass routine.
From: "Mike Serieys"
Like, wow.
Right in front of Hooky throughout, who was regularly looking straight
at me. My yells throughout of 'C'mon Hooky' were probably something to
do with it, but still. Was hoping to get the drumstick, but he inexplicably
gave it to someone in front of Barney.
Amusing bits as follows:
Anyway, just wish I could afford to go tonight, but hell, there's always
France Inter.
My second NO concert, and definitely better than the last one.
Ciao,
Mike
Setlist was presumably as follows, according to Antoine's
account:

(encore)
Report from gig by Antoine:
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001 10:50:30 +0100
Was too lazy to turn the computer on when back home, to give you
tids'n'bits about my bithday gig. Nov, 12th, that is. So here they
are.
Same same same same. Not as good as sunday's gig.
Your silent face BEFORE Atmosphere, not AFTER.
What about a change, Bernard. Noticed most of the audience weren't
huge huge fans. Some came here to see some 80's band perform. A
french guy said "see you in 14 years !" - a Brit fellow said "Sack
Phil, he's pants"
Bernard introduced TBTHOG as a song to calm things a bit down.
(WAHAHAHA) Some french twat spoiled me fun complaining about me
bouncing way too much (hell where does he think he was in ? a tea
room ? There were seats over at the balcony, you c*nt !)
Encore was RTS, RIAD, BM. Bernard introducing Blue Monday as Fucking
Blue Monday, played 5.000 times... bla bla. I mean if they don't want
it played, they shouldn't play it.
Fave bit was True Faith, again. Love that guitar. Weakest was BLT. Pah.
Introduced Phil in the middle of the gig, and then saying again, as on
sunday "je m'appelle Bernard, je m'appelle Chtophen" (hey we are in
France, not germany, bernard) "je m'appelle Hooky !"
I'm glad they took over that big fat bastard. Man, this guy should be
topic of a documentary. This time, he came with Bananas over his
shoulder, he's had the same jacket and pants for years, he came with
a girl he must have annoyed backstage, she was here to translate.
"they're not the rolling stones, they're not bananas, they fucking
new order !"
Hook doesn't even smile a bit - Phil is a good guitarist really. Steve
was mostly surrounded by smoke and the lights. Couldn't see him easily
from down the front. Hook stayed to perform a couple of notes more from
LWTUA, and Bernard came to turn off his bass amp. Bernard spotted reading
lyrics from the monitors during Your Silent Face. Someone asked for the
"Kiss Of Death" - Bernard wasn't too pleased to hear my request for
"Vivid". :p
Something I noticed. I looked at Bernard's mouth during Temptation cos
that old topic came to my mind... [...] from above hurt/hit/whatever
the people down below. I looked at what he was saying, and I tend to
think it was a V. As in Volts.
Gig was not as good. Bernard enjoyed I think, but I found it was a bit
difficult at the beginning... I don't know.
>> The setlist is the same as yesterday, there will be 1 song less in
>> the encore... Probably RTS or RIAD, since they always play Blue
>> Monday...
So the encore was a three song set, really. RTS, RIAD, BM.
Also, yes there was some altercation between some british fellow
and Hooky - I think Bernard indeed said something to the extent
of "we'll send you president bush"
N21
"Sabine's lover" confirmed that Gillian was backstage during this
consert, and that parts of this concert were broadcast over FM.
And...
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 11:18:50 +0100
> Ally said:
BWAHAHA. Actually, that was on Monday, i was a bit disappointed
that I thought I could piss Bernard off a bit. Vivid was the only Electronic
song that came to my mind so it could be easily heard as a short single
word. Bernard ignored it, but I saw at his face he wasn't too pleased...
Pah !
Writeup
I had two tracks on MP3 probably mastered from the FM broadcast.
"Ceremony" and "Fucking Blue Monday". The Ceremony track has some
French announcer saying a few words at the end. Throw in Transmission
and Atmosphere as well.
I've since gotten the whole set (CD of the FM broadcast) There's also a
very rare French promo with the entire soundboard also in existence)
Crystal
BS: "Bonjour. That's what I'm going to show you now. Supposed to be in
Paris at the end. One two one two one two. Okay, We're going to start off
the set tonight with a song off our new album, it's called Kristal"
(Bernard pronounces the song title like a french word)
BS: "Thank you! Merci Beaucoup."
French announcers talk at this point.
Transmission
BS: "We're going to continue with a...a very old song of ours by
Joy Division. It's called Transmission."
This one sounds huge. Lots of feedback.
As the song ends, the announcers chatter.
Barney whoops.
Bs: "It's a lot hotter than last night."
Regret
BS: "This is Regret."
Audio distorts here. This happens at a couple other points in the
broadcast.
Ceremony
What sounds like an edit between the last track and this one.
BS: "Thank you!"
_60__Miles_An_Hour (at the end of Ceremony)
The MP3 version has this:
BS: "Okay, we're gonna get things, erm, a bit more contemporary with our...
this is, eh, 60 Miles An Hour from our new one."
(wonder if this is from the previous night)
The CD of the FM broadcast has this:
Okay, this is a track off our new album and it's called 60 Miles An Hour."
BS: "Thank you."
French announcer talks. Very annoyingly, he talks over Bernard making
the following a bit difficult to make out.
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "This is (stress us?). Okay we're going to slow things down a little
bit now. Eh, This is a very old song called Your Silent Face."
BS: "Thank you."
Atmosphere
(French transcription is probably very off, I know)
BS: "I hope you're enjoying yourselves. Eh, tripping up. Eh, je ne paux
Bernard, je ne paux Stephan, Je ne paux Hooky. [Hooky says a couple of words
but is interrupted]
BS: "Forturnately, I can't speak any better French than that, except,
eh, 'voules voux [couple of words] si vous ples' This is Atmosphere!"
PH: "Alex! Alex [name-ends in 'enberg']...wherever you are, this is for you.
1-2-3-4!"
BS: "'k you!"
More French announcer chatter, again talking over Bernard.
Close_Range
BS: "Now we're gonna play a very contemporary-sounding New Order one here...
this is a song called Close Range."
BS: "Thank you, merci beaucoup."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Thank you very much. Okay, ...say we'll play another song for a little
bit because... [can't make out rest of sentence due to the damn annoucers]...
but we're not going to, we're going to play a song called Touched By The
Hand Of God."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Thank you. This is the last song before... [again, can't make out
due to the damn announcers]"
PH: [can't make out due to announcers]
BS: "Okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
They play BLT.
True_Faith
BS: "Thank you. We're having(?) a lot harder time than the the audience.
Why don't you all want us to play next. True Faith? All right, then
you've got it."
Temptation
BS: "Thank you. You having a good time? We're having a fucking great time. And
we are in need of Bez(?) in time for the party after the show. I can assure you.
Just cuz we [two words] we can tune up please. In the past I noticed it's very
professional in the past we would have done it but not tonight...it's extra."
PH: "Asshole."
BS: "Fucking others in tune. Must be Phil fucking up here. Okay, this is
Temptation."
They play Temptation.
BS: "Thanks a lot. Thank you very much."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Very nice acoustic-type intro to this one. The announcers on the FM
version proceed to talk all over it, bah. Barney yells "Come on!"
about 3:12 in (3:42 on the FM version).
BS: "Thank you very much! You've been a fucking great audience.
It's great to be back in Paris. It's a beautiful city, and you've
been a beautiful audience. Thank you everyone!"
Before the track cuts out, the French announcer on the FM broadcast
says "It's fucking New Order". (not present on the FM version, though)
Haha. The announcers greet Barney and Hooky, who come backstage.
Barney expresses his surprise that they're recording.
Blue_Monday
Here's Bernard's intro, which is going in the quotes file:
BS: "It's a fucking Blue Monday. I dread the day we ever fucking wrote
it. Played it five thousand times. I never liked it in the first fucking
place (at this point, Bernard is breaking down in giggles)...no, it's
fantastic."
(the concert was played on a Monday)
The keyboard intro sequence gets flubbed. And the vocals are pretty
flat, or alternate into the sort of singing he does on Get Ready.
But the instrumentation at the end is a bit different than normal,
and the quality here is superb.
About 3:30 in Barney starts talking to somebody. What about?
BS: "Hi, Andy. How are you? Ball's at a soft spot here, you know."
Barney sings the 'now I stand here waiting' part repeating waiting, as
if it was being echoed.
And as things finish up:
BS: "Thank you! You've been fucking great! Thank you!"
Ends in feedback.
Setlist was presumably as follows, according to Nicholas
LeBlanc's message to Ceremony:
Crystal
(encore)
From ESPN (info sent by Robert L.):
Sumner stuns Berliners with 1966 taunt
Bernard Sumner shocked fans at a concert in Berlin this week (Nov
15th) when he dedicated a song to David Beckham and taunted them about
the 1966 World Cup final.
Sumner, lead singer of New Order, was greeted by cheers when he welcomed
Germany's qualification for next year's finals - they beat Ukraine in a
play-off on Wednesday.
But those cheers soon turned to boos when he reminded the German crowd
how England had beaten them 4-2 in the 1966 final.
'You didn't win in 1966,' quipped Sumner, an avowed Manchester United
fan, before bassist Peter Hook intervened to assure the outraged
audience that Sumner was only joking.
But memories of their one-sided, 5-1 defeat by England in a World Cup
qualifying match in Munich in September were clearly still raw for many
in the audience.
Introducing the band's hit song 'Touched by the hand of God', Bernard
Sumner said: 'This song is dedicated to David Beckham - touched by the
foot of God'.
Any bad feelings, though, were quickly forgotten as the Manchester band,
best known for their hits 'Blue Monday' and 'True Faith', put in a
storming performance.
Happily for Anglo-German relations, New Order did not play 'World in
Motion', the song they wrote with Keith Allen for England's World Cup
soccer campaign in 1990.
Transcription
summary: overall, an outstanding performance with excellent sound
one of the best of the modern era.
Crystal
BS: "Of course we are New Order. Hello, Berlin! I'm sorry it's been
so long since we played here last. It's not your fault, I assure you.
It's, eh, nobody's fault. But hopefully, we're going to make up for it
tonight and play a great set of songs, starting with Crystal."
(Barney strums guitar once or twice though this mini-speech)
BS: "Thank you!" (bass strum) "Thanks a lot. It's really good to
be back here. Seriously."
Transmission
PH: "Here we go."
BS: "Okay, this is a song by Joy Division called Transmission."
Bernard (slightly) flubs the opening guitar intro.
Funny to hear Bernard yell "and we can daaaaaaaaaaaaanceeeee!".
BS: "Thank you. Danke schun."
Regret
BS: [sigh-squeals] "Okay, we're gonna return now with something a
little bit more contemporary, from 1993 anyway, that's contemporary
for us. This is Regret."
Ceremony
BS: "Thank you! No, we're not playing Blue Monday tonight, Peter
doesn't want to play it. I do, but he doesn't, so..."
PH: "You know what I say fucking goes!"
Good rendition, ends in guitar rattle.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Thank you! Okay, having a good time, everyone having a good
time? Great. So are we. Sounded oh so sincere though, didn't it?
Anyway, this is 60 Miles An Hour off our new album, Get Ready.
Oh yeah, it's our new single as well. I'm sure the record company
would like us to say that, and on behalf of them, I do."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Thank you very much. Okay, we're gonna chill things out a
little bit now because we're, we're all getting a bit carried away
ourselves as well, and eh, yeah. This is called Your Silent Face,
which was very influenced by Kraftwerk."
BS: (later on in the intro) "Think of Bavaria."
Atmosphere
BS: "Thank you. Also thought that was a German-sounding tune, I
dunno why. And this one is a very English-sounding tune, it's called
Atmosphere, it's a Joy Division song."
PH: "What if we scream at your pub. 1-2-3-4."
(is that what he's really saying?)
NO play the JD chestnut.
BS: "Thank you. we'd like to dedicate that one to, erm, a very
good old friend of ours, who was Ian Curtis. Rest in peace, Ian,
rest in peace."
Close_Range
BS: "Back to our new album, this is a track off it called Close Range."
Very good rendition, better than the LP version.
Skip at 4:31 on my CD copy.
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Thank you. I'm fucked. I'm fucked, but we're gonna play another
one of those jump up and down songs. And it's about an English
footballer called Davey Beckham. (cheers turn to boos). Have we
got any England fans here tonight? Only joking, only joking! Listen,
Germany won last night, so you'll get your own back in the World Cup,
I'm sure. But remember, we beat you in 1966, which wasn't so long
ago." (more booing)
PH: "He's only joking."
BS: "All right, I'm only joking. This is Touched By The Foot of God."
Cracking good version.
BS: "Thank you. I'm so polite, aren't I. I say 'Thank you' at the
end...end of every song. That's cuz I'm glad it's over. Only joking!"
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, you notice that I do not have a guitar for this song.
Can you guess what song it's going to be? I take that as a 'no'
then (laughs). This is, eh, Bizarre Love Triangle. It's about
a re...a...a relation me and Hooky and our wives had. It was
very bizarre."
lyric: "I feel fine, I feel good...I feel like a piece of wood."
BS: "Merci beucoup. (grunts) Listen, Phil. That was only a fucking
joke right, don't get any ideas right, you're not my type (cymbal crash,
good one Steve!) At the moment."
True_Faith
BS: "Okay what songs you want to hear next. It's up to you.
(folks shout out whatever) Sorry, what? (more shoutouts for
whatever) I think you're saying 'True Faith', so this is True Faith.
If you think the audience has a lead on selecting which songs
New Order will play, you're even more deluded than the punters
in Berlin.
Very good guitar intro here.
PH: "Tell you what. I'm fucking warm but you must be boiling. Because
you got your fucking coat on, I can't believe it."
PC: "coat on?"
BS: "Hooky, there's no need to swear, you know. I must apologize for
Peter's foul language, you'll never hear me fucking swearing like that.
Okay sighs okay, just having a breather. I'll tell you what, I just
gotta tune the guitar up...someone's just been stabbed?"
PH: "Very important, tuning, I hope you have the competence for it."
BS: "I know how to tune guitars up."
PH: "In Manchester, if we don't tune them, we ain't performing."
BS: "Okay, I'm in tune. You in tune, Hooky?"
PH: "I am in tune, Bernard, yes."
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is Temptation."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PC: "Thank you."
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Okay, this is the last song we're afraid, but it's a cracker."
Has acoustic guitar opening. Hooky SCREAMS out, "Let's go!", with
Bernard "C'mon"'ing the audience at least three times before Hooky
belts out a "Here we go!" at the bridge.
BS: "Thank you very much! You've been a fucking great audience.
It's the Berlin, you've been fucking great."
Rock_The_Shack
BS: "We, we never ever ever do encores, but on this one evening we'll
make an exception. We did, well we did in Paris as well and London
and Manchester. Okay, we're gonna start with a ve...a very, guitar-based
song, and we're gonna finish with a synthesizer-based song just to show
our virtuosity. Okay, this is Rock The Shack."
A very good rendition. Hooky does backing vocals. No Gillepse to
sing the second verse.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Thank you. All right, for those of you who don't guitars, this
is called Blauer Montag."
Wow, this sounds really really good. Has a sample of the old vocoder
lines in it, too.
There's a brief cut at 1:33 that I think was put out by the broadcast,
as all known copies seem to have it.
Bernard "hey, heys" shortly before 2:00, and whistles at about 2:08.
And this from TJ:
BS: "Naked saunas.....marching music......"
From webcast of this concert (224k RealVideo)
A fan says that despite the official reports, the Order's
performance was, after the first few songs, sloppy and
error-ridden. I tend to agree with this assessment.
In other words, this is a classic performance. If I wanted
pitch perfect renditions, I'd just stick to the records.
I also have a CD, that may have been taken from a lossy source
(maybe from the webcast stream). This version cuts out much
of Bernards between-song dialogue, which is a shame.
The encore features a slight change, with Ruined In a Day
appearing -after- Blue Monday, as the last song.
Transcription
Crystal
BS: "Sorry to keep you waiting, but we're only 20 minutes late.
We played in Berlin last night, and we made the unfortunate
mistake of going to a nightclub. So we're a bit tired and a
bit emotional, but we'll do our best for you. This is Crystal."
Bernard waves and kisses to somebody out in the audience before
going into the opening riff. I guess he's replaced his woo's
with yelled "whaoas" and "heys". Hooky gets into it as well,
too...one of the more emotional and energetic performances of
this soon-to-be-classic that I've heard. A whistle near the
end, too.
BS: "Thank you! Thank you very much."
Transmission
Bernard almost makes it through the opening riff without a
mistake. ;-) Hooky's vocals are very prominent during the
chorus. And Stephen Morris is still the hardest-working
drummer in rock.
BS: "Danke schun. Of course, that was about Radio Angst live.
My favorite radio station, Radio Angst...and uh, my favorite
trainers, Adidas trainers, they're gone at the moment...
not that we're sponsored by anyone, but eh, I just really
like 'em. (guitar strum) Okay, we're gonna bring, erm, that
was a Joy Division song. (turns to backstage, says 'feedback')
All but 'danke schun' are missing from the CD version I have.
Regret
BS: (continues): "That was a Joy Division song called Transmission,
I'm getting a lot of feedback up here...but this is a New Order
song called Regret."
NO play Regret.
BS: "Thank you. (guitar strum) You having a good time?
Surprisingly, we've having a good time. We've been on tour for
a whole week now, and I'll tell you it's taking it out of us.
(turns to his right and says "hasn't it?") Even Phil."
(by 'it' does he mean "a lot"...I suppose so)
Ceremony
The camera pays an unusual amount of attention to Phil C.
Hooky vocals pretty loud during the chorus here as well.
Bernard flubs the first couple of notes during the solo.
Otherwise, very good version....
BS: "Thank you! Jerry, can you set...ehm, give me more sound?
Danke schun."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: (continues): "Okay, this is a track off our new album,
it's called "60 -Kilometers- Per Hour. (drums...few seconds pause)
1 2."
Hooky rolls up his sleeves as Bernard starts singing.
After he finishes out the tune with some guitar F/X, Barney
pumps his fist up in the air and screams "Yeah!"
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "'ank you. All right, we're gonna kill it down a little bit
not, a bit less time...a lower octane of song, ehm, we're gonna
play a song off eh...Power, Corruption, and Lies...eh, think it's
that's right, Steve?...Power, Corruption, and Lies...called
Your Silent Face."
Of course, Phil handles the keyboard part for that one, quite
admirably. Bernard's melodica is ok too. ;-) I think Hooky
almost was going to play his part a bit early... During this
song, you can clearly see that Bernard is wearing earplugs,
which I first saw at around the time of the Jools Holland
performance. I think they don't detract at all, I mean,
Sinead O'Connor got away with them. Barney start's doing a
silly guitar-in-hand dance near the end of the tune.
BS: "Thank you! (strum) I just got to tune notes, so bear with
us. (spends a few seconds tuning his guitar) Shit, does anyone
else tune a guitar up? I've done it."
Atmosphere
BS: (continues) "Okay, we're gonna play a song that we've...I don't,
to my knowledge, I don't think we've ever played in Cologne before...
we have, we actually played it once as Joy Division. This is a Joy
Division song, and it's called Atmosphere."
Camera for the first time cuts to the audience, who are all waving
their hands. No lighters, though. A bit of a cut-out in terms
of the audio, right at the end of the the second verse, before
the "People like you..." part. One "hey" after the "abandoned
too soon" line.
After the song ends, Barney whispers something in Hooky's ear.
Close_Range
BS: "Okay, now we've chilled you out a little bit, we're gonna tee
you off a little bit. Erm, and we're gonna play eh, a fairly uptempo
song off our new album, and it's called Close Range."
The webcast breaks up a bit right when Bernard is about to sing.
Speaking of which, Bernard ends up yelling quite a few lyrics, I
don't know if they were having monitor problems. New drum pattern,
or technical glitch...by the end of the song, they pull themselves
together again...taking the advice of the lyrics, heh...except right
at the end, Bernard is left hanging to dry, as everybody else stops
playing when he continues to sing...he makes a face, goes "ha ha",
and says:
BS: "Thought there was another chorus! Jerry, can you just..
I think it just might be compressing a little bit much, that could
be the problem... [I think he's talking about his mic]. We should
put another chorus on the end of that. Thank you, thank you."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
(doesn't appear on the CD I have)
BS: "Okay, this is a song called Touched By The Hand Of God, and
we've gonna get our resident DJ, Mr. Arthur Baker, who produced this
song, to do a bit of on-llne DJ'ing for us."
Camera cuts to Arthur Baker in front of a pair of turntables,
scratching, of all things, which you can barely hear. The webcast
cuts off a bit in a couple places, pity. Bernard does a "1 2 3 4"
before the last round of chorus.
BS: "Thank you, Arthur. And numero uno DJ, uh, Mr. International"
AB: "What's that, what did you say? Thank you folks!"
BS: "All the way from New York City...Boston....right."
BS: (taking a towel) "Ohahh, it's fucking hot here...we had a bit
of a wild night last night so we're all a bit fucked. Anyway...
(Hooky guffaws...feedback screeches) here's a guitar...(more feedback)
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Here's a song that doesn't contain any guitars whatsoever,
for those of you of the dance music fraternity. This is
Bizarre Love Triangle."
Webcast starts cutting off a bit. Barney actually jumps at
one point, and starts dancing later. Scary.
At the end of the song, Hooky goes up to Barney and whispers
something back to him, grabbing onto him
BS: "We've got a wheelchair...or a stretcher. Thank you, danke
schun. (piano notes)" Barney takes a sip of something.
True_Faith
(left off of the CD version I have)
BS: "This is True Faith."
Hooky comes in a bit early, and his bass has an amazing amount of
chorus on it. Sumner's guitar sounds especially funky. Too bad
the stream breaks up a bit again, so I can't make out what Hooky
blurts out..."W6N...". Nice touch, yelling out "of the things that
cost you too much!" Of course, this has the "taking drugs with me"
line. Hooky starts freeranging. Barney screams out "so demanding"
as well.
BS: "Merci beaucoup, danke schur."
Temptation
Crowd starts yelling for Temptation.
BS: "Temptation it is then, you've got it!".
Neat...when Barney starts singing "oh you've got green eyes, oh
you've got blue eyes, oh you've got grey eyes" the lights change
colors to match. The latter guitar solos actually have a bit
of wah-wah on them.
BS: "Yeah!!"
BS: (points off in the direction of the audience)
"I've like to apologize to all the people stuck behind the pillars
over there. If you all come and see me after, hello...sorry about
that, that's disgusting, I'll give you your money back, if you come
and see me after the show, I'll give you your money back. If you
can find me."
Barney swaps guitars...for the next tune, instead of his Gibson SG,
he has a Rickenbacker, with a capo on the second fret."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Okay, we're gonna finish with a very special song."
Barney yells out "C'mon" a couple of times during one one of
the choruses, with Hooky screaming "Here we go, Cologne!"
The webcast desyncs a bit again, bad enough for the audio
to completely cut out. What's strange is that Hooky's bass
starts slowing down, almost like it's prerecorded (but it's
not!)
BS: "Thank you. You've been a fucking great audience. I
enjoyed it much more than the Robbie Williams concert. Is there
any Robbie Williams fans here? Thank you very much, you've been
great. Good night!" Hooky keeps playing bass throughout, and
ends with a solo of the LWTUA melody, before waving and walking
off.
Encore
(CD I have includes none of these)
Roadies come out and adjust stuff, as the fans clap and yell.
New Order don't come on for a few minutes, but of course come
back on.
Rock_The_Shack
BS: "My breath smells like your penis. Okay, hi, may name's
Bernard, and I'm a Capricorn. This is Rock The Shack, off our
new album."
I'm of the minority of NO fans who seems to like this tune, and
they do it justice here. Song ends with Barney tuning down
his low E string and strumming on that.
BS: {strums chord} "Thank you!". Meanwhile, Hooky pounds on
his symdrums.
Blue_Monday
BS: (continues): "Okay, okay, that was a song full of guitars,
now we're going to play for you a song full of synthesizers,
it's called Blauer Montag, or Blauer Montag, or something like
that, anyway."
Heh, they should just do the Hardfloor mix in the same fashion
that they play the Perfecto remix of True Faith. Cunningham
plays 'Crystal' style guitar...echo on the "waiting" part
of "I stand her waiting...".
Ruined_In_A_Day
BS: "Thank you, we're gonna play one very last song for you.
It's called Ruined In A Day."
The song is performed in an eerie, alluring green light.
BS: "Thank you, c'mon you've been fucking great. Thanks for being
a great audience and we'll see you sometime again in the future,
bye!"
The roadies come up and start taking things down...somebody got
handed the setlist.
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 02:07:15
Al Jarvis reports the setlist as the following:
Setlist was presumably as follows, according to Nicholas
LeBlanc's message to Ceremony:
Crystal
(encore)
I just came home from the concert - Fantastic show!
Bernard dedicated the concert to Sven-Goran Eriksson (the Swedish coach
of the English national football team)
Bernard gave Peter a kiss after True Faith
They played Transmission
Bernard claimed Stockholm to be his very favorite city in Europe
Another review, this one from Calle
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 14:22:24
..less than 48 hours after the gig..not bad at all...
don't even know if the first posting ever made it to the list, but
here we go again..
Since I'm on the digest, I don't have a clue what has been reported from
Stockholm, but in short it can be summed in one word: brilliant!
In some more words (have you read about it before, nevermind, do it again..),
it was...
...a great, small venue as earlier reported. Only 1,800 people in the
crowd and a very intimate place for a concert.
...also great seeing the living legend - as it also said on Hookeys
speakers - Arthur Baker lurking around before the concert, looking like
a cross between a bum and santa claus, hanging with local swedish reggae
star (!) Papa Dee.
..good to hear Baker do a great DJ-set before the concert, dropping
Confusion, not-so-surprising "Walking on sunshine" and Clash "This is
radio Clash" amongst some really bass-heavy stuff.
..brilliant to see the band entering the stage about 11.15 and playing
for about 1 and a half hour.
The set started with Bernard apologizing for not playing in Sweden for
so many years (they havent been here since 1983..) and than dedicate the
whole set to Sven-Goran Eriksson (for non uk-residents or football
interested people, a former swede who now manage the English soccer team).
And, also, once again, he honoured Stockholm as Europes finest city.
The setlist was the same as the last concerts: Crystal / Transmission /
Regret / Ceremony / 60 Miles an Hour / Your Silent Face / Atmosphere /
Close Range / Touched by The Hand of God / Bizarre Love Triangle /
True Faith / Temptation / Love Will Tear Us Apart
The encore included Rock The Shack and Blue Monday. I'm not 100 procent
sure, but I think Bernard introduced Ruined in a day between the songs,
but then Blue Monday kicked in instead. A fook-up, maybe?
Backstage I'm also rather sure both Gillian and her sister hung out,
sipping wine.
Bernard was a bit stiff during the first part of the concert, excused
himself and than started the famous freaky dancing. He was completley
over the top during Blue Monday, but he must have been rather sober or
else he would have fell over. You dont do this sort of dancing normally
not ending up on the floor...
Hooky was also in great spirits, smiling and doing every trick the book
and of course insulting the guards. He was even down in the crowd posing
for some photos. What a brilliant entertainer!
Best part last: The Swedish national radio had there mobile recording
studio at Cirkus, wich means this concert will be broadcast. On the radio.
Crystal clear. I havent checked for a broadcasting date, but hopefully it
won't be too long away. Great to hear this great stuff again.
well, I think this sums it up rather good. a great evening!
carl
(he later shared both the JW (I believe) and FM versions to DIME)
Writeup from CD. It's missing the first 4 tracks.
Arthur Baker introduces the group.
AB: "Good evening, good evening, Stockholm. My name's Arthur Baker,
and I'd like to bring on the best band in the world, my good friends
from Manchester, England, NEW ORDER!"
Crystal
BS: "Hello! It's been a long time since we've been to Stockholm,
but it's a city we like very much. And, erm, I'd like to dedicate
this set to eh, our finest living Englishman at the moment, Sven-Goran
Eriksson."
Steve hits his kit.
PH: "I don't think there's anything to make you look more like a cunt,
Alex, so there you go."
BS: "Okay, we're goint to start the set tonight with Crystal."
BS: "Jerry, can I have a little less Phil, and a bit more of my guitar,
please, maybe a little bit of guitar in the wedges."
Transmission
BS: "This is Transmission."
(after)
BS: "'k you. Jerry, I think maybe we need a little more 'oomph' from the
side fills."
Regret
PH: "Very kind of you, I'd like to dedicate you this song to all of you
who came to see Revenge, cuz Sarge here has no regrets."
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
PH: "Thank you. Bit less guitar, Jerry, bit of reverb on the voice,
please."
Ceremony
BS: "Is everybody having a good time? I must apologize for the amount
of time it's taken us to get back to Stockholm, because Stockholm is one
of my...is my favorite city in the whole of Europe. Really, no, really
it is, so hopefully we won't be so long next time."
BS: "Well, we're going to play an old song now, it's called Ceremony."
Hooky is prominent on the choruses.
BS: "'k you."
PH: "Okay, can we get this fucking picture thing sorted out here, right?"
We only come once every twenty years, so if they want to take a fucking
picture, let 'em take it, OK?"
Someone cries for Age Of Consent.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, the next song we're gonna play is off our wonderful new album,
Raise The Pressure [Steve hits the cymbals at Bernard's quip] and is called
'60 Miles An Hour'."
Bass riff is really off here during the synth bridge.
Your_Silent__Face
BS: "'ank you. Okay we're gonna, erm, [coughs] excuse my voice, it's,
erm, a bit fucked. We're gonna tone down things a little bit with Your
Silent Face."
BS: "Thank you! One two, one...two...one two one two one two.
Jerry, can you give me...transmit a little more to me, I don't seem
to be getting any reverb at all. [sigh] Hey, hey hey hey hey."
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, okay...does anyone like Joy Division? Well, we're gonna
play a song now which is my favorite Joy Division song. In fact,
it's probably my favorite song that we've ever written. It's called
Atmosphere. And it features Mr. Peter Hook on bass which is still(?),
really."
PH: "Just bear with me a moment. Checking(?) him out to take that
reunion tour."
BS: "Get on with it."
PH: (off-mic) "1-2-3-4!"
(at end)
BS: "Thank you very much. A bit more reverb, eh, Jerry please."
Another cry for Age Of Consent.
Close_Range
BS: "All right, we're gonna hop things up a bit now, and hope you jump
around a little bit, because we've started getting a bit hot under the
collar now. This is a track off our new album called 'Close Range'."
(at end)
BS: "Just have a quick drink...[ah...]"
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Okay, this is a song of ours called Touched By The Hand Of God."
BS: "'ank you. [coughs and clears throat].
Then Hooky and who knows who else on stage starts doing it! A cacophony
of throat clearing!
PH: "Fookin' hell."
Is everybody having a reasonably good time? The gap at the front of
the stage is very wide. I'm sorry about that."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, anyway, this song, ah, is called Bizarre Love Triangle."
Partly way, Hooky looks to have screamed (off-mic) "Get out of there!!"
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
You can clearly hear Bernard's voice starting to give out.
Very interesting guitar intro.
Bernard sings the first verse, but apparently too early, so he yells out
"one, two, three, four" and starts over.
BS: "We did that, but I'm not gay, really, honestly.
PH: "Can I just say, can I just say a thank you to Coatsey, my long-suffering
roadie...for at least [glitch] I worked with [glitch] some time, aren't we,
boy? (?) [Steve hits drums]
BS: "I'll tell you what, this is the last night of our tour. We've been on
tour for seven days. That's right, seven fucking days. And we are fucking
exhasuted. I know I stopped doing it. Even our new guitarist here, Phil
Cunningham here, is exhausted. He spent so much money on watching porno
films at the hotel that we're not going to make any profit on this tour."
[Steve hits the drums - in comedy routine style]
BS: "Is that true, Phil? Shake your head if that's not true."
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is Temptation."
(after)
BS: "Thank you very much." (quite a bit of reverb)
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "Sounding like a bit of wind, that, Phil..."
Teaser acoustic chords, followed by the start of the song.
Hooky yells out, "Steve Morris on drums!"
During the second set choruses, Bernard yells "C'mon...yeeeah!"
followed by Hooky saying, "Here we go."
BS: "I think that's the end. Thank you very much. We're all a bit
fucked up here, not fucked up, just fucked, but thanks for bearing with
us, you've been a great audience, [Swedish that sounds like: 'a little
stucco, a little swen'], and erm, that's the end of our tour. Good night!"
Neat ascending sound effect, than the Swedish announcement says
something to the effect of "That was New Order, live." The announcer
isn't present on the webcast that was used to source the CD, though.
Cheering and stamping, and a cool sound effect later, the Order come
back on.
Rock_The_Shack
BS: "Hello, everybody. Did you enjoy those wafery biscuit at the
front? Okay, we never...Does Hooky sound a bit too loud? He sounds..."
BS: "This is the last show, and this is the last two songs of our..."
Hooky chimes in.
PH: "European tour".
BS: "One week tour, and this is Rock The Shack off our new album."
BS: "C'mon!"
Ends in a bit of wah-wah and feedback.
BS: "'k you."
Blue_Monday
BS: "For those of you who don't like guitars, I apologize. And by way of
an apology, we'd like to play Blue Monday for you."
Lots of collossal guitar in this one, probably courtesy of Mr. Cunningham.
A recording of this show has recently surfaced, done with a Sony TCD D7
DAT with Core Sound lapel mics.
Crystal
Brief cut during synth intro portion.
Bernard's vocals come in slightly late. At this point the taper is still
adjusting levels.
BS: "Thank you, thank you. We got a slight technical problem with...
so you have to bear with us for a minute...while we sort it out.
punter: "Sing...sing louder"
Transmission
BS: "Okay, this is a Joy Division song, it's called 'Transmission'.
PH: "I'd like to dedicate it to Kelvin, whose birthday it is today, so happy
birthday Kelvin."
BS: "Fook off for yer birthday."
Not a nice thing to say there.
A false start, so the group have to begin again.
BS: "Thank you."
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
Ceremony
PH: "Another thoughtful one, so let's go."
BS: "Thank you!"
Chants of the group's name.
BS: "All right, have you had a good day today. Sorry about the rain, we brought
it from England with us. [Being?] from Manchester like we do, we love the rain.
Isn't that right, Phil? This is Phil Cunningham, our new guitarist. We
dragged him out on [?] to be where he is today, but he's still scum. You
can't take the scum out of the boy. You can take the piss out of him,
though, right.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, this is a track off our new album, it's called '60 MPH'. That's our
boo order cheer. Or yell."
(at end)
BS: "'ack you!"
There's a couple of cuts in the recording at this point.
BS: "...'em while I tune up." [cut] "Now that I tune the guitar". [cut]
"Joy Division, no longer...we will not play any songs by Joy Division tonight,
we won't...oh, go on then. Seeing you're so emotional about it."
Some bloke in the audience starts singing 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', Bono-style.
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Okay, but not this next one. This next one is called 'Your Silent Face'".
He yells out the 'piss off' line.
BS: "'k you."
Cut.
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, for all of those that are calling for Joy Division, this is a Joy Division
song it's called Atmosphere...don't...we've never played it over here before.
definitely haven't..."
Quite a good version.
More brief cuts.
Close_Range
BS: "Maybe the tuner is not working as well, it doesn't matter. This is off our new album,
it's called Close Range."
(at end)
BS: "'Q".
BS: "Damien, you got a dead tuner here man."
Shouts of "Blue Monday" and "fuck you".
BS: "Can't possibly have you listen to out-of-tune guitars. It's not the old days now,
you know. We're a very professional group these days, we're all members of the Musicians
Union, apart from Steve of course, he's a drummer. [drum roll] With a sense of
humour."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
Taper says '...[something] record.'
BS: "Okay, This is 'Touched By The Hand Of God'."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "All right, this is 'Bizarre Love Triangle'."
True_Faith
BS: [talking during the intro] "Okay, this is 'True Faith'. New version of it. Hope you
like it. We quite like it. It's quite housey, you see. Almost unrecognizable...from the
original...see, here's the chorus, no [something]."
BS: "Phil. It's very hard to hear ...thank you."
A bit of chatter from person near taper and friend, the gist of it being the person talking
is tired.
Temptation
BS: "What do you want to hear next?"
Hooky says something hard to make out.
BS: "Pardon? I can't understand your Kiwi accents, so what we're gonna play is Temptation."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
A near acoustic opening...
BS: "My 12 string guitar...go to our heads."
The recording doesn't capture the final song, Blue_Monday.
I have a CD kindly provided from GaoBest of this performance.
Quality is excellent. The FM recording leaves out "Close Range",
"True Faith", and "LWTUA". In addition to that, the video
broadcasts leave out Love Vigilantes, Atmosphere, BLT, and BM.
Announcer: "...great recording we did of New Order, at the
Gold Coast Big Day Out, on Sunday the 20th of January. The
last time New Order toured Australia was way back in 1987,
and this one of dates saw them headline the Big Day Out, but
also coincided with the release of their seventh album, Get
Ready, their first new album in eight years. The exciting
part of seeing New Order back on the world stage is, as well,
has been the amount of back catalogue they've included in their
live sets. For the first time, they've gone back to their
Joy Division days and done songs like 'Atmosphere' and
'Transmission' both of which are included in this 'Live at the
Wireless' performance, and of course they've been doing some
of their all-time classics, especially from the 80s, songs like
'Blue Monday, 'Temptation', and 'Bizarre Love Triangle'. All
of those included in this 'Live At The Wireless' set at the
Gold Coast Big Day Out. Here they are on Triple J, New Order!"
(pronounced New Orrdaaahh)
Crystal
BS: "Hello. Sorry it's taken us so long to come back here.
Are you having a good day today? It's a bit. it's a bit, a
bit hot for us palmy[?] bastards. We only like it when
it rains. Okay, we're New Order, and we're like Crystal."
Intro...Bernard calls out "One". Amusing to hear Mr. Sumner
sing harmony with prerecorded female backing tracks. Well,
maybe 'amusing' isn't the right word.
The frontman cries out to close the track.
BS: "Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thanks for having us back.
Australia's changed a lot in fifteen years, for the better.
(a few guitar stums interspersed)
Transmission
BS: "This is a Joy Division song, it's called Transmission."
A few seconds later, he says quitely, "when you're quiet, mate".
(don't know who this is addressed to)
The only thing I have of note is Bernard flubs the "touching
from a distance" line, substituting another one in its place.
BS: "Thank you!"
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is a bit more poppy song, it's called Regret."
New Order play Regret, in a matter consistent with all other
performances of that song.
BS: "Thank you!"
Recording I have (being from the Triple J brodcast) has "This is
New Order, live at the Wireless on Triple J" interpolated.
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Okay, erm...(Hooky mutters something about not saying anymore
and trying to keep it down) this, this is a song that we've not played
for a while so if it goes terribly wrong, er, bear with us. It's called
Love Vigilante(sic)." (I don't hear him add the terminal plural)
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, this one's bang up to date...it's off our our new album,
it's called...er, whatever it's called, and when you hear this vocal,
go to a record shop and buy the album tomorrow, that's what the point
is....it's called 60 Miles An Hour. But you won't do that, because
you're not robots. That's why we love you so much."
The band play a pretty good version of it.
BS: "Thank you! It's not a bad little tune, is it? Maybe you should
all buy it tomorrow!"
And go right into Atmosphere.
BS: "'k you. Did that ever come out in Australia, have you ever heard
that song before? Erm, well, I don't have to explain it then.
Close_Range follows. It doesn't appear on the FM broadcast.
Bernard screams out the chorus on this one.
BS: "Okay, now that we've poisoned your ears with all of those guitars,
we're going to abandon it for a minute. We're going to play, erm, an old
favorite of ours called Bizarre_Love_Triangle..."
BLT starts up, and Bernard keeps talking...
BS: "...and it's about, it's about me, Phil, and Peter. Peter's on top
of New Order and..."
PH: "It's bizarre".
BS: "And Phil is on the bottom."
I wonder how Steve feels about being left out. Probably relieved.
I think the vocals sound flat, but what else is new?
ANCR: "This is New Order...live at the Wireless on Triple J"
True Faith
Also missing from the FM broadcast.
BS: "More sequencers Jerry, more sequencers. Fuckin' 'ell. When you
get to our age..."
An announcer's voice can be heard on the PA, which obscures what Bernard
says at this point.
BS: "Don't know if this song ever came out in Australia, it's called True
Faith."
(at end)
BS: "Jerry, time(?) for more vocalization please...[can't make out]...a
bit out of tume. It's not my fault, of course."
Temptation
BS: "So, is everybody enjoying this so far? So are we. Em, we're gonna
play a song now, it's called, uhh, Temptation."
The intro sounds a bit more arpeggio'ed than typical. Lots of classicsounding
guitar, too.
He says, "Oh, it's the last fucking time", of course. And "1-2-3-4"
is yelled out.
Very good stuff.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Another one not on the FM broadcast.
PH: (a bit off-mic) "Let's go. One-two-three-four..."
Bernard "C'mons" a few times, of course. Hooky yells for Steve...
you know the drill.
BS: "Thank you! Sounded better than I did...that seemed very odd."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, this is our last song...and we're absolutely FUCKING sick
of playing it, FUCKING hate it, but we'll play it for you."
PH: "Oooh, gotta go(?)...make an old man happy!"
Despite the strong feeling expressed, this performance of the worn
chestnut breathes some life into the old mare. The vocoders are mixed
in with Barney's vocals. There's a different-sounding guitar during
the second version.
Barney sings "waiting" over and over a few times.
Nice guitar solo in there too. Ends in drums
BS: "Thank you, sorry about the heavy rock guitar at the end of it,
but I suppose it makes it a little bit different. Thank you,
goodnight! See you again in...eh, 20 years."
ANCR: "And knowing them, they're not lying, either. On Triple J.
Wasn't that special? New Order, live at the Wireless. A Triple J
recording of their performance at the Gold Coast, Big Day Out, on
the 20th of January, a Sunday evening, and nine songs from their
set that they performed that night, ending of course with the classic
Blue Monday. Before that, Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle,
Atmosphere, 60 Miles An Hour, Love Vigilantes, a track which went
way back to 1985 for them, Regret, Transmission, and Crystal. Nice
to hear a couple of the Joy Division tracks in the set as well.
That, ah, set by New Order was recorded by Triple J Live producer
Cameron McCauley, so thanks to him..."
NME Review
http://www.nme.com/reviews/10158.htm
Highlights from the review:
English backpackers chant that Hooky's a fat twat and cheer at the fact
that 'Salford Rules!' is written in duct tape on the amps.
Sumner attacks the last few versus of 'Close Range' with all the vigour
of a man who's just come in from a ten mile run ("Are you ready to chill
out?" he puffs at one stage. "I tell you what, I am.") .
I've had the opportunity to listen to a few tracks from this gig...and
then the rest as somebody shared their superb quality audience tape on
DIME.
This may be Arthur Baker introducing the band.
AB: "One of my favorite bands of all time may be here tonight, I'm not
sure. What do you think? Yeah? Okay, the best band in the world ever,
out of Manchester or anywhere else, NEW ORDER!"
Crystal
BS: "Hello! How you're doing? This isn't a big day out, but it's the
next best thing. Okay, it's been a long time we've been to Australia
and I must apologize for that. It's Peter's fault."
Somebody, maybe even Hooky himself, cries out 'Bullshit!'.
BS: "Okay, we're going to start out the set tonight with, er, Crystal."
(after song's complete)
BS: "Thank you! Jerry, can you turn up your...[equipment]"
Transmission
punter: "All right, don't tell anyone to get fucked(?)..."
PH: "This one's for a great friend of ours, it's so fucking to see you Frank,
you fat bastard."
punter: "Good one!"
PH: "Transmission for you, mate!"
(at end)
punter: "Do you still hate fucking singing, you cunt?"
BS: "Course that was a Joy Division song."
punter: "You used to hate singin'!"
BS: "We ain't played it for a long long time."
Regret
BS: "And this is a New Order song off Republic, it's called Regret."
BS: "Jerry, I am a bit...a little bit too loud. My guitar."
punter: "A bit of Electronic. A little bit of Electronic. Johnny Marr.
Johnny Marr. You [?] all that concert could, you prick. Hey, Georgie.
Hey, Georgie."
Ceremony
PH: "Okay, Bernard."
BS: "Okay, we're going to keep this guitar-friendly for the time being.
And this is a very old song of ours, it's kinda half ours and half
Joy Divison's. It's called Ceremony."
Damn Aussies yelping thorughout this song.
BS: "Thank you!
punter: "You're ahead of your time!
BS: "Thank you, thanks a lot."
punter: "You're ahead of your time, you old fucking pony cack(?)"
PH: "I know that's at the end, so don't be daft!"
(I don't know who or what this is directed at)
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, we're going to bring things right up to date now.
A track off our new album, which I'm sure you've all been to the
shops and bought. Every one of you. All right, for the ones
who haven't, go out and get it tomorrow. This is the new single,
it's called 60 Miles An Hour."
Wah wah guitar at the end.
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Well, that's a bit high ... in it so far, so I think we're
going to chill things out a little bit. You ready to chill out
a little bit? I tell you what, I am."
Some fans start to chant.
Bernard doesn't sing the 'piss off' line, leaving it for the fans
to fill in.
BS: "Thank you. One of our favorites. Just give us a second
while we tune up, we're professional."
Atmosphere
BS: "I bet you've got no idea what we're going to play next,
have you? Pardon, one at a time please. This is a song I don't
think we've ever played in Australia before...this tour. It's
called Atmosphere, it's a Joy Division."
Amazingly enough, he's right.
PH: "Okay, Phil. One two three four."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
Close_Range
Some muted guitar power chording.
BS: "Okay, this is Close Range off of our new album, and we want
to see jumping up and down to this one. From now on, everyone's
got to jump up and down, including me. Sounds a bit loud."
BS: "'k you. The drums were very, very, loud on that one.
Very loud drums."
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "Please turn the drums down. Okay, this is Touched By The Hand
Of God."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "I bet you're absolutely sick of guitars by now, and you want
us to play a couple of our dance hits. Well, maybe I've read the
situation all wrong. Pardon? Speak up, I can't hear you! I'm a
fat twat. Oh, Peter is. Throw him out."
PH: "Fuck off, [can't make out, as Bernard is also speaking]
BS: "All right, this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
Bernard says something at 0:52, maybe 'bass drum'? Then he whistles.
BS: "Thank you!"
BS: "It's very hot up here, if anybody out there has got...is in
charge of the air conditioning control, could you turn it down a
bit so it is a bit cool. Turn it down to where it feels like we're
in England."
True_Faith
BS: "This is True Faith."
After the first verse, Hooky makes the following pronouncement.
PH: "You're really good Sydney, fuck me!"
BS: "Thank you. Have the drums put up a little bit, please."
Temptation
BS: "Well, I gotta tune up for this one because it's a very special
song. It's my favorite New Order song. It's our cover version of a
Benny Hill song called 'Ernie The Milkman'. Okay, this is 'Temptation'."
(at end)
BS: "'k you!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Okay, this is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
PH: "Onetwothreefour!"
At the 2:00 mark Hooky exhorts the crowd, "C'mon, louder Sydney!"
then, satisfied, says "That's better" and "Steve, m... that ground[?]!".
BS: "Thank you, you've been a great audience. See you again!
On Saturday."
Hooky ends things with a two-note vamp. Fans begin cheering for
an encore, of course. A minute later, you can hear guitar being
strummed and a fan says "they're tuning up his guitar, do you think
he's gonna come back" and a female fan replies, "It's so funny,
because Australia...[hard to make out rest]"
Isolation
Here's how Barney introduces it:
BS: "Thank you, you're a fucking great audience, in fact, you're better
than we are. You've got a choice of Rock The Shack off our new album or
Isolation. Which one...?"
The audience calls out for both, though I hear more for the latter than
the former, Hooky gives it away by playing the bass riff for Isolation.
BS: "All right, we'll do both then. Rock The Shack first. Nononononono.
Isolation first."
(the groop play Isolation)
BS: "'k you."
Rock_The_Shack
BS: "Okay, okay, this is Rock The Shack."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you!"
Some Hendrix-type guitar bits at the end.
Blue_Monday
Some weird drum sounds at the starts.
BS: "Thank you, good night. See you on Saturday night!"
Feedback and clapping at the end.
PH: "When you see your friends, tell 'em you've been goblined!"
Not sure what the last word is, actually, and nor does the crowd.
Source taken from a CD with tracks sourced from MP3. Very-good
quality audience recording, likely done by the same person who
taped the worse-sounding version Queensland, but with a lot less
distortion.
Crystal
PH: "Happy Australia day. Fuck it, c'mon!"
BS: "Hello. Hello hello hello hello. We are New Order, all the way
from Manchester, home of Manchester United. Not Liverpool. (boos)
And our first song we're gonna play for you is Crystal."
Fans cry out "New Order"
Brief edit.
Transmission
BS: "Okay, this is a Joy Division song. It's called Transmission."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you! I'm sorry it's been so long since we've been here...
in Sydney. But the weather's just too nice for us. We only like to
play places where it rains. Like Garbage, really."
Love_Vigilantes
Original source for this song was an audience tape->112kbps MP3.
Decent sound...this is likely the same source as the present one
I'm using for the writeup.
BS: "Okay, this is a...very old song by us called Love Vigilantes."
He flubs the lyrics, getting ahead of himself at one point.
lyric: "Oh I flew through the sky, my convictions...I would die.
My convictions would not lie, I would see it soon."
(the next line is "For my country I would die/And I will see it soon')
The punters, of course, are singing along...
Some feedback about 3:14 in.
BS: "Thank you...this is for Jerry, a bit of tattered guitar back in..."
(I can't make this out very well). [some strumming]
Somebody very loudly cries out, "Bernard, you fat bastard..." which
makes him say "Ok" and then cough-chuckle.
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Jerry, can you set my guitar down a touch in my In-Ears, please.
BS: "You having a good time today? It's been a little bit too hot...
for us...okay, okay, I need my melodica for this one, and it'll take
me a second to get it.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "This is off our new album, Get Ready, and it's called 60 Miles An Hour.
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "Hrm, I've been carried away on that one, hell, if you didn't notice.
I should have fucking been carried away, I don't know which one it was.
Somebody calls out "Hooky, you're God." To that he responds, "I love you
too."
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, I'd like to dedicate this next song to Jessica and her family.
Atmosphere."
PH: "All right, Freddy...one, two, three, four."
BS: "Thank you."
Close_Range
BS: "Okay, we're gonna pep up things up a little bit now."
[Something about turning down something...]
PH: "I heard what you said down in front."
BS: "This is Close Range."
BS: "'Q!"
punter: "Fucking brilliant."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play a couple of dance tunes now. Cuz that guitar
was hurting my fucking fingers. And I need them later on. This is Bizarre
Love Triangle."
PH: "[can't make out]...ceiling and not enough...have to cut down on the
ceiling..."
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
BS: (during intro) "Sequencers, Jerry, sequencers".
BS: "We always spot the ending up on that one...but everybody else does.
Get it right! [Morris drum hit] You get it right. Somebody might help(?)
you can't get these days.
Temptation
BS: "Okay this is, eh. [cough] I don't like this, I thought it was
all the same but it's not. This is, er, Temptation.
(during bridge)
BS: "Push him off"...
BS: "Thank you."
Bernard screams the "one, two, three, four" part. This was useful in distinguishing
this version against the more common Adelaide show, as there was observed to be some
confusion in the labelling of the common FM recoding which was attributed to this
date but was really from Adelaide a few days earlier.
BS: "All right, I have to change this guitar for this one."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Okay, let's see if Sydney rocks. This is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay...this is a song that we miss playing, that is the bane of my
existence."
(this doesn't make much sense)
Bernard mutters something during the intro.
BS: "Thank you, you've been fucking great! FUCKING GREAT!! See you
guys soon."
The tune ends with Phil vamping out.
BS: (introducing Atmosphere) "This one's about golf."
A robotic female announcement interrupts the taper or whoever it is
that's saying "You think you...thank you."
Can I have your attention please? In the interest of your own safety,
and the safety of others around you, please listen to the following
announcement. Crowd surfing, pushing, and aggressive...endangers
yourself and the safety of others. Participation in these activties
may result in you being ejected from the venue.
Remember to drink plenty of water. Avoid excessive sun exposure
and immediately seek first aid attention if you are feeling unwell.
Enjoy the day, and think you for your support. This has been a
Big Day Out safety announcement.
This recording was taped with Oade mics into a Sony D100 DAT, and
is excellent-sounding.
Crystal
BS: "You all right? We're New Order. We've come all the way from
Manchester England to bore the pants off you."
PH: "That's a nice welcome, thank you.!"
BS: "Okay, the first song from our repertoire...Jerry, can I have
a bit more reverb?...for you tonight is called Crystal."
Thank you. Jerry, can you turn down a little bit...unusually.
So you've been having a good day today? It's great to be back
here in Australia, especially Adelaide. Hooky laughs.
BS: "It is, it's a cool place man."
PH: (Trying to get a word in edgewise) "You ready...for Tra..."
BS: "Not as cool as Manchester, but it's all right."
Transmission
PH: "Ready for Transmission? Forgot about you for a minute.
One two three...four."
BS: (at end) "Hey! Thank you."
BS: "Damien, you got another Pernod n' orange please, that fucking
line's over(?) with. Even though the(?) sponsor is here....
When you're finished, when you're ready...your own good time."
Regret
BS: "This is Regret."
Guitar bit here.
Ceremony
BS: "Okay! This is a very old song, and we wrote it just when we
first started as New Order, just after the end of Joy Division, and
it's called Ceremony. If I can still remember how to play it."
The guitar bit during the bridge is somewhat different (rude people
would say "off"), but then recovers.
_60__Miles_An_HOur
BS: "Okay, we're going to bring it a bit more up to date here with a
track off our new album Get Ready which you've obviously all bought
[can't make out next few words]. It's called '60 Miles An Hour'"
BS: "Thank you!"
Chimes (from the next song).
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, new we're plunging the depths of our past again. This is
one of my favorite songs, called Atmosphere."
Bass goes a bit ropey after the first verse.
BS: "Thanks a lot! Thank you."
Close_Range
BS: "I'm getting very polite in my old age. I never used to be like this,
I'm bit of a creep now. Still, it's better than being a lot of a creep,
innit? Okay this is Close Range off our new album."
He shouts out some verses as he did during the Sydney show.
BS: "Thank you."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
PH: "You want love? Just speak up. You can't all talk all at once."
Bernard coughs.
PH: "Ten dollars a pair, yeah."
BS: "This is Bizarre Love Triangle."
BS: "Thank you. Wooh."
BS: "Ah, a little bit out of breath after that, so just give us a few
minutes to recover. Getting on a bit now."
PH: (laughing) "A few days..."
When you get to our age.
PH: "When you get to our age..."
BS: "Fortunately, I'm a bit younger than Peter, so it's a good thing(?)
I'm the singer...only by about twelve years...
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
Starts up with a bit of Hooky noodling.
Unusually, Bernard repeats "I feel so...I feel so...I feel so..." before
going into the second verse.
BS: "Yo! Let's fucking have it!"
BS: "Sorry about that...that outburst. I had a bit of a late night last
night drinking with the Prodigy, so it's all their fault.
Temptation
BS: "This is Temptation."
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "Any requests? Apart from "Fuck Off". I said, "Apart from 'Fuck Off'."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart with stummed semi-acoustic guitar
follows.
PH: "C'mon laddie(?)"
And right before the bridge, Hooky makes his usual "C'mon Steve" exhortation.
And then a "Where we going, here we go!" from him right before the end.
BS: "Cheers."
BS: "Okay, you need these guitars, eh? Say that and shove it someone's ass.
I don't care who it is, as long as it's not mine. It won't fit anyway, cuz
it's a 12-string." Steve hits the cymbal as a punchline accompaniment.
Blue_Monday
Quite an unusual start, as it looks like somebody manually plays the beat for
the first measure until the sequencer kicks in.
A bit of off-mic chatter right before the main line of the song starts.
Source: Audience tape-->VBR MP3
Another version (presumably from ATR) turned up with the
Alan Wise Intro.
Counting 'Ceremony'
AW: "...poor boys, though, you know, they've discovered the
channels, the porn channels on the TV and we just can't get
them away from it. Fuckin' hell. [chuckles] Listen, there's
four young lads here from Macclesfield, they've never been
to Paris before and they can't speak French. I want you to
give them a warm welcome. Here they are, the boys from...
what's the name of the band? [allowing the audience to fill
in the blank] That's right, New Order!"
Crystal
BS: "Bonsoir, Paris. This is the first concert which we've
played since Feburary, so bear with us, we might not be that
tight."
BS: "This is Crystal."
Our favorite taper comments, "You're shite anyway, Barney."
BS: "Thank you! Jerry, could use some more vocal, I know,
just turn the pack up first, that'll turn the record(?)
Someone set it wrong."
Then Bernard turns his attention to the lighting guy.
BS: "Andy Liddle, can you hear me? Andy's our lighting guy,
and he's just put a big horrible skid mark on the toilet in our
dressing rooms. You can wipe it off after. He's been blaming
it on you, Hooky."
Transmission
BS: "Okay, this is...eh, we're gonna eh, going to...our second
song is a Joy Division song, it's called Transmission."
(at end)
BS: "Merci Beucoup"
PH: "All right, David, [you might as well] have this one mate."
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is 'No Regrets' by Edith Piaf."
Goes a bit off kilter between 3:15 - 3:20.
BS: "Thank you. Jerry, can I have a bit less of my guitar
through the [DMF]? Just tune up. Let me just tune up. I
know now [name?] can tune a guitar. I fucking can.
[Steve bangs the toms to the punch line]
Ceremony
Bass teaser.
BS: "Okay, this is Ceremony."
(at end)
BS: "'k you!"
Guitar strumming, with a touch of wah-wah.
PH: "You'll have to, eh, forgive the tuning noises. I've got a
new roadie, Rex, and erm, me old roadie, Coatsey, whose over there
is trying to fuck him up by fucking up all me equipment."
BS: "Even I can't underststand what you're saying, Hooky. I'll
translate that for you."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "The next song is called 60 Miles An Hour."
Features a "C'mon!" during the chorus.
My guitar's gone hopelessly out of tune, just like me voice, but I can
do something about the guitar so let me change it, so just give me a
few minutes. Parlez vous francais? Je parlez vous francais un petit.
'U e' de rouge lumiere 'de script'. 'Col me am' madame. [parts in
single quotes not fully worked out]
I believe that is...is "Welcome...welcome to Paris, hope you have a
good time. It's good to be back here again, we enjoyed it very much
the last time we were here, and this is one of the only few places in
Europe that we're coming back to, or maybe it's the last time we ever
come here, who knows.
BS: "Get on my fuckin' guitar. Okay, okay. I'm sure Peter would like
to say something on behalf of the band. [coughs a few times]"
PH: "This is Jason, Jason there normally works with Oasis, but he's
decided to sweat it for a couple of days.
BS: "Welcome to our new guitarist, filthy Phil Cunningham."
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, this is another Joy Division song, this is Atmosphere."
Bernard starts calling out French landmarks, while a female fan
squeals her delight.
BS: "the ... de Concorde, the back [name], the new [name], the
Eiffel Tower..."
BS: "That was a rather fast version...who's responsible? Must
apologize for that, apparently it's our bass player's fault.
A problem with the fucking drums there."
Brutal
New Order debut this track live right here.
BS: "Okay, this a song that you've probably never ever heard
before, it can almost be described as a certain new song, but
it isn't. it's a song called Brutal, and we wrote it for a film
called The_Beach, which it didn't get much play in, but it's
a good song anyway, so I hope you like it."
Not much different from the recorded version...the female backing
vocals are the same, for instance.
BS: "Thank you! Thank you for bearing with one that you don't
really know, but it's a good song, I feel."
Close_Range
A bit more tuning.
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Okay, this is another one off our last album, this is Close Range."
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "I'm getting genuinely worked up now, honestly, no bullshit!"
I swear I hear fans calling out "Stephen!" as the band tunes up...
BS: "It's been like...(long pause) okay, we're gonna play a song now
that we have probably haven't played here in Paris since we played
in Bains-Douches in 1978...was it? when was it, Peter? when?
1978, it was fuckin' 9, I told you I was right! It's a Joy Division
song, it's called 'She's Lost Control'"
(I don't hear if Peter replied or if Barney was just taking the piss
out of him...)
Features the same 1-2-3-4 that often graces Temptation. I THOUGHT
SHE DIED AGAIN...and a few other screams from the vocalist.
Hooky mutters something I can't quite make out, as usual, starts out
with, "Now fuck me..."
BS: "Thank you..."
BS: "I don't know where it's coming from, but Steve's snare drum went
pretty loud on that track, I don't know where it's coming from."
BS: "Is everybody having a good time? You better fucking happy, because
it took us an hour to get here from Manchester. A whole hour! Has anyone
got a Pernod and orange please? When I fancy, I drink Pernod, a very
fine drink."
Bizarre_Live_Triangle
BS: "Okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle, innit. It's about when Hooky
met Phil when he was in prison. Hooky was the daddy and Phil was the
mummy. And ... in the group was a swinger."
BS: (during the bridge) "David Bechkam! Manchester United!"
(at end)
BS: "Can we go off now, I'm fucked."
True_Faith
Female fan calls for TF, and gets it.
BS: "Erm, this is an entirely live version of True Faith."
PH: (between verses) "Do we have a cor... bass." [can't 100% make out]
BS: "Yo! Let's hear it for Paris. Let's hear it for New Order."
PH: "Punch out, there it is, fucking technical...Is that you, Rex?
It's all right."
BS: "Let's hear it for Manchester United. [boos] Yeah! All right, what
about Wolverhampton Wanderers then? You know I got fucking Londerers in
here tonight. No Arsenal fans, is there? Fucking wankers, the lot of you.
You can suck Phil's cock after the gig. Or be the next fucking England(?)"
BS: "All right [coughs], let's give it a bit of a rest then."
Temptation
BS: "This is Temptation. In New Zealand, they call it 'Temptey'.
Bernard screams out "1-2-3-4" at the 6:30 mark or so.
BS: "'ank you. Thanks a lot. Where's the fucking..."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Some teaser chords...
BS: "Okay, now we're going to head back to the past, and what a past we've
got. This is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
BS: "When you're ready 'ooky, when you're fucking ready..."
BS: "Sorry about this, if you want your money back...I'll give it to you,
you just go in our dressing room and I'll give it all back. I thought he
was in the Musicians Union as well when we employed him. Three fucking
notes(?) in, god. Do you want a speech for you to tune up, Hooky?"
PH: "Not easy being me, you know. Nasty kids, fookin' hell, they're bleedin'
for me, I tell ya. But anyway, for all of you in here tonight and for
Ian Curtis, God rest his soul, 1-2-3-4..."
Lots of "C'mon's" and the exhortation by Hooky for Steve to play (can't
make out the exact wording).
Hooky also yells, "Here we go, Paris!".
This marks the end of the main set.
BS: "Thank you very much. You've been a great fucking audience! I'm
glad we came out to Paris. See you again next week. Thank you. Avoir!
Merci beucoup."
Alan Wise then steps up...
AW: "Why, those of you who wonder who's on next...no, not really. Listen,
I want to introduce to you my best friend.... And you know, [word inaudible]
you want to get rid of me. They say I'm too expensive. I only charge them
a thousand pounds a time, and they say I'm not worth it. I want my job back
for the fish and chips shop in Crumsfall(?). Don't you think the association
with football lets them down, though? All that football rubbish. Well, that's
because they rode the England world cup thing a few years ago. I think they're
going to come back if you chant for them. One goes to the toilet, one has a
drink of Red Bull, one has a wee wee, and they all take catatonic drugs.
C'mon New Order! I'm going to whip you into a frenzy. Start stamping the
floor. We want New Order! [audience cheers] I want New Order. I particularly
want Bernard Sumner. C'mon, I know you got more zung(?) than that. C'mon,
tell 'em to come back. Encore, encore. That's a good sign. More, more!..."
NO finally come back on.
AW: "Here they are!"
Digital
The first time New Order perform this one live (though they did soundcheck
this song back in 1981!)
BS: "Just in case you're getting hungry...are there any Joy Division
fans in here tonight? (Fans cry out affirmatively) Well, tonight is
your night, because we're playing quite...seems like we've been playing
quite a lot of Joy Division songs tonight (feedback comes in)
This is a very rare Joy Division so...track...song, it's called, eh...
(pause, as fans cry out)...it's called Digital." (Hooky strums)
And then they play it. Hooky says "what a night!" about 55 seconds in.
Both Hooky and Phil do the "Day in, day out part."
Glad to hear them play this, after all these years, as it's one of my
favorite JD tracks...songs.
BS: "Thought that was wrong. Sp...[?] image then..."
PH: "Think you'll find your own then..."
Rock_The_Shack
PH: "All right, it's like 19 fucking 77 all over again, innit? You know
what we're going to play now? Novelty, right!"
BS: "Okay, this is a song that we wrote with Primal Scream, it's called
'Rock The Track'...[laughs]...Rock The Shack...Rock The Jock!"
BS: "Enough of those guitars, they're so fucking noisy, aren't they?
Get on your nerves after a bit, all that scratching sound."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Let's have a bit of synthesizer heaven. This is a...very old song of
ours, very famous song. We fucking hate it, but I'm sure you love it, so we
play it just for you. It's called Blue Monday. As the Japanese say, 'Brue
Monday'."
Bernard "heys" a couple of times before the first verse.
Ends with the intro sequence kick drum, which slows down.
The backing PA music actually comes on.
Your_Silent_Face
A rare second encore from the group.
BS: "We're gonna do two encores. We're gonna play something a bit more
relaxing. It's called Your Silent Face."
BS: "Thank you very much. You've been a fantastic audience! It's
been great to play in Paris and we hope to come back soon. Merci beucoup,
avoir!"
From "NewOrder 511" DVD.
The live versions of Ceremony and Temptation played at Finsbury
loop as the backing music for the 'Set List 01' and 'Set List 02'
display portions.
A unique instrumental mix of Vicious Streak on the title screen,
which appears more in full for the 'Earlier in the Day'.
HELLO, why haven't I seen this version released on a record?
It's BRILLIANT, at least until it's mixed into the Alan Wise
intro.
AW: "And what you've been waiting for is six little boys from
Manchester (can't make out phrase here). Welcome if you will,
the six little boys from Manchester, the New...uh, Thingies."
BS: "Hello. We're sorry and like to apologize for the rain.
How do you think I feel, I got my fucking trainers on. Always
remember, no matter how bad it is out there for you, it's worse
for us backstage. Here's (can't make out)"
Crystal
BS: "This is Dawn (Zee), our singer...Phil Cunningham, our guitarist."
Heh, Barney's wearing in-the-ear style headphones, and I'm sure the
autocue's close-by.
Steve's wearing a t-shirt with a cracking egg with an "I am Deuf"
voice bubble. Cool. And as remarked elsewhere, the onstage monitors
read "BYE BYE | DEE DEE", may he rest in peace.
Interesting skip dance by Mr. Sumner during the portion where they're
supposed to be rockin' out. Monty Python and Ian Curtis would be proud.
BS: "Yeeeawwww! All right, thanks for putting up with the weather today.
We'll have to try extra hard to make it worth it. Cuz I wouldn't fuckin'
come out on a day like today, we really apprecate you who have done made
the effort."
The band then rip into Transmission.
In the video, you can see that there's a Confederate flag(!) on the bridge
of Barney's red Gibson guitar. His vocals are notably flat, and during
the "touching from a distance" line he loses his cadence.
Barney's shirt has an alien on it, and Hooky's has something
incomprehensible. Everybody's wearing black t-shirts, and Hooky's
wearing jeans(!), not some black leather thing that's waaay too tight.
BS: "'k you! Whoo! What a beautiful day for an open air festival,
couldn't picked a nicer day!"
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
New Order play Regret. Personally, this one's sounding a bit tired.
But's its OK.
BS: "Yeaah! Merci Beucoup"
Ceremony
PH: "This one's for Dee Dee Ramone, God rest his soul. He can keep
Ian company until I get there."
A blistering version. They really take it down during the bridge and then
pick up to finish out the song.
BS: "'k you! Is everybody having a nice time? (cheers) Well, that's
all that matters. Personally, I'd still...I'd rather sit at home
watching StarsOnSunday...or the World Cup. Is it on anymore,
StarsOnSunday? No? All right, then."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "All right. This is 60 Miles An Hour."
The best live version I've heard of this, I think. Doesn't hurt that
the sound quality is pristine. A couple of bum bass notes, too. :)
BS: "'k you!
Atmosphere
BS: "Too quiet now, Hooky[?]"
Yes, this version features a couple of yelps as is endemic to many of
the post-98 performances of this song.
BS: "'k you!
Brutal
BS: "Okay, this is...this next one is a song that a few of you will
have heard, did it for a film called TheBeach_, and it's called Brutal,
and um, we've only played it live once before, so if the rest of band
mess it up, please bear with them."
Haha.
Phil's playing the solo. Dawn Zee's doing backing vocals here as well.
"It's all right" is repeated many times as the final refrain, unlike
the soundtrack version.
BS: "'k you! Thank you for bearing with us with our new one, we
wanted to play a new one tonight."
Close_Range
BS: "Okay, this is Close Range."
This one turned into a juggernaut while no one was looking.
Dawn Zee on backing vox.
I love how Barney yells out "YOU'RE PRETTY HIGH" here.
Has anybody noticed that the "how can I ever make you understand"
line (both lyrically and musically) is cribbed from Electronic's
"Reality"?
Ah, the rum swapping of instruments.
_She's__Lost_Control
BS: "It's called She's Lost Control." Hooky stares out with his
arms folded. You can catch Barney sneaking glances at the autocue
a couple of times. :)
BS: "Thank you, that song...the second time we've played that
in 25 years. For obvious reasons."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Again, I must apologize for the rain. But as soon as we go on
stage, the rain goes away. I think if you live in Manchester like we
do, except for Phil there comes from a plain little place called
Oswaldwhistle, you get used to the rain, so FUCK THE RAIN!
Here's a little story about a bizarre love triangle."
Barney gives Hooky a hug between verses.
Then Barney goes up to Phil, pats him on the back, rubs his head, and
tells him, "I said I love you."
During the break after, Hooky starts to make a huge racket rattling all
the strings on his bass.
Barney is hopelessly out of tune.
BS: "Whoo..."
True_Faith
BS: "This is True Faith."
Perfecto mix, of course. Unusually, Barney plays guitar during the
intro, while Hooky hugs Dawn Zee and pinches poor Phil in the bottom.
Dawn Zee on backing. Between first and second verses, Hooky yells out
something insane and unintelligable. Of course, this version has
the "drugs" reference and Barney shouting out some of the lyrics.
The band looks like they're having a tremendous amount of fun on stage!
The whistle from Happy Monday's "Step On" makes an appearance too.
Colossally, bloody good, this.
BS: "Thank you!"
Temptation
BS: "Do we want Hooky to turn his bass down a little bit? (faking
Hooky voice) YES! (meanwhile Hooky goes up to his amp and pretends
to turn it down) Actually, this song is all me anyway, all me, you
know. I wrote it, it's all my lyrics, you know, we don't need anybody
else so if you want a break, go fuck off for a bit. (Hooky actually
walks off stage left) This is my song, it's called Temptation.
(calling back to Hooky) You can help me out a little bit if you want."
The split-screen mudslide footage is cute.
BS: "Cheers, thanks!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "(clears throat) All right, Hooky. This is Love Will Tear Us
Apart".
Hooky screams into the mic. Barney picks up a Rickenbaker for this
song. And glancing into the autocue. About midway, the energy level
picks up, making an otherwise ok performance better. Though the
"C'mon's" are a bit cheesy. Near the end, Hooky yells something
else I can't make out.
BS: "Thank you, good night, you've been a really good audience. Cheers!"
(encore break cut out)
Digital
BS: "I'm very very sorry about the rain, it's really been awful.
Everybody is getting wet, including me. Thank you very much, you're
very, very appreciative. It's a bit dumb to say, but I don't care,
I'm not very eloquent. We're gonna play a song here tonight that
we've haven't played for 25 years...it's called Digital."
PH: "Yeah, you gotta thank _24HourPartyPeople, you gotta thank
_24HourPartyPeople for one thing, it's this."
BS: "Tonight's dedicated to to Mr. John Simm. John, can you say hello,
where are you? John, John, come here!"
John Simm, who plays Barney in the aformentioned movie, appears onstage.
(during intro)
PH: "Where is Ralf Little? Where is Ralf Little?"
Barney calls for John to john in on-mic to join him for the
"Day in, day out..."
PH: (before second chorus) "C'mon John, don't be shy(?)..."
Barney makes a hash of the guitar solo...and calls back for John,
who helps out on the closing "Don't ever fade away" bit.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Yawoo! Thank you, John. The next song, we've got a choice
of Rock The Shack or Blue Monday, what do you want to hear?
(cheers) Whoa, one at a time, one a time. Do you want Blue Monday?
If you want Blue Monday, put your hands up. If you want
Rock The Shack, get your penises out. It's Rock The Shack then.
No, we're doing Blue Monday, Blue Monday."
As Hooky starts to beat on the syndrums, Barney goes up to him
and whispers something in his ear, and points backstage. Don't
know what that's about. Steve Morris comes out from behind the
drum kit and takes keyboards. Phil plays a different guitar line
than what I've heard before during the second verse. And Barney
goes on keyboards, too.
World_In_Motion
Left off of the DVD. Bah!
Your_Silent_Face
You can't tell from the editing that NO had gone off stage again
and come back. For the first time, you can actually see the
autocue, it's an LCD monitor!
BS: "Where's Hooky?" (huh? He's right next to you!)
Well, later, Hooky goes off somewhere to sit down. Maybe the
old geezer is tired. The first song in rock to ever feature
a melodica solo. And the best bassline ever.
BS: "Thank you very much, it's been great playing London again.
You've been a fucking great audience, thanks for putting up with
us. Hope to see you again soon, good night."
PH: "Thank you very much, God bless, take care."
All I have from this one is SLC and KW1, as well as some Realmedia
of the videos for this one. Barney actually looks decent in this
one, unlike some of his 2001 appearances. He has a star on his
t-shirt.
Transcription has taken so long due to the length of most of Bernard's
between-song banter.
Crystal
Barney spends much of the bridge tuning his guitar!
BS: "Yo! Thank you very much! Thanks a lot."
Transmission
BS: "It's great to be here in Sweden. It's one of my favorite
countries. Seriously, it is, I mean that! The girls are so beautiful
here and...the girls are so beautiful here and...the girls are so
beautiful here. This is a Joy Division song, it's called Transmission."
Afterwards...Bernard whispers in Hooky's ear.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Regret
BS: "Is this been a good festival for you? (cheers) What's been the
highlight of the festival so far? What about the Chemical Brothers?
(cheers) Very good friends of ours...What about England beating...
beating... Denmark, today? (he smiles having japed the crowd)
We got a Swedish coach anyway, haven't we anyway, we got a Swedish
coach. Right, Hooky? Yo? This is Regret."
Some weird vocal gremlins when Bernard sings 'Just what they all say...
just before they fall apart."
BS: (at end) "Yo!"
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Find it hard to get a sequencer Jerry, or Roger? Is the sequencer
there? You know, to sequence stuff? Okay, Just give me a second, I'm
going to have a drink. (guitar riff) and...tune up... we're very
professional these days, we have to be in tune with each other, we
realize that. Even Steve (he bangs his kit here). You tune them drums
up! Okay, be patient, be patient! This is a track off our new album,
which is called Get Ready. It's called 60 Miles An Hour, which is
120 kilometers an hour. It's about erm, driving really fast.
Sequencers up. Especially top lines."
He messes a couple lines, can't even read the autocue right.
At least his glasses disguise him a bit there.
Hooky plays loudly over the bridge.
Atmosphere
BS: "Yo! Jerry, maybe we need a bit more side fill and a bit more
of the kind of, er, sequence stuff, especially the high stuff. Apart
from that, it's all right, I think.
PH: "One, two, three, four."
BS: "This is Atmosphere. A bit more fill, Jerry, A bit more fill.
And side fills."
PH: "One, two, three, four."
Brutal
BS: (tuning guitar) "Let me find a place on the guitar to play this [a
couple of other words mumbled] Okay, this is a song that you ne...
probably never heard before, and we did it for a film called "The Beach",
the Beach staring Leonardo...eh...DiCaprio, and em, it's called Brutal."
Shes_Lost_Control
PH: "Oh, we've having some fucking problems tonight. Such is life.
What would life be like without problems? Lucky you, I think you've
got a lot of f ucking problems, you know what I mean? [cackles]"
BS: (interrupting) "Okay, this is a song..."
PH: "We're not into perfect."
BS: "This is a song from, eh, when we were in a group called
Joy Division, and it's called She's Lost Control."
BS: "Featuring Stephanie DeMorris on drum, Pierre Hook on bass, and
Mr. Phil Cunningulus on...er, lick."
They play SLC.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
Here Bernard is wearing sunglasses and white hi-tops, and indulges in
some freaky dancing.
BS: "Thank you very much. That was going back quite a few years in
our repetoire. What we are going to play for you now, for those that
don't like guitars, is our synthesizer set. And we're going to start
with a song called Bizarre Love Triangle. And it's all about when
Peter, our bass player...here, met Phil in prison, and they were
sharing a cell with someone called Big Daddy, and is about the bizarre
love triangle that went on in that cell."
(oh...kay...)
BS: (gesturing towards Roger Lyons) "And that's Big Daddy over there
behind that little computer, his name's Roger. We all met in prison."
A few seconds later.
BS: "David Beckham!"
True_Faith
Phil is playing a few notes on piano in between.
BS: "Has anyone got like a stretcher...or some pure oxygen? So are you
enjoying our set so far? [cheers] We're trying very hard to give you a
good time because we know that you've all been stuck there in the pissing
rain all day. Now, us being from England, we're used to all that rain,
but you being from beautiful Sweden, it never rains here, is that right?"
[more cheers]
BS: "Well, I believe from all the porno films I've seen in the hotels
here you're very keen on pissing on each other. Is that right? Cuz...
if there's anyone [giggling] that wants to piss on Phil here at the end
of the show, please come backstage. All right, ok. This is a song called
True Faith."
Ouch. Sucks to be Phil, I guess.
BS: (when Hooky starts playing his bass): "Fucking 'ell, that's a bit loud."
This is an "afraid what they'll see" version.
BS: "Thank you."
Hooky ends it with a big bass vamp.
BS: "Hello everybody, my name's Bernard. Give us a second while we tune
up, please. The band are out of tune, therefore I am singing out of tune.
Even you're out of tune.
Heckler can be heard shouting out something or another.
BS: "You speak English very well, did you learn it from a book?"
PH: "I beg your pardon, that's no way to talk to Bernard."
BS: "My name's Bernard." (in strange accent)
Temptation
BS: "This is Temptation."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Ok, this is the last song we're going to play tonight. Well, you
know what? It's getting very late, and you should all be back in your
tents in bed."
Strummed guitar chords, and Hooky's 1-2-3-4 count-in.
(at the end)
BS: "Yo! Thank you very much. You've been a great audience. We've been a
great band. We've enjoyed each other very much. Let's hear it for Sweden!
And Manchester! Goodnight, everyone."
(first encore)
Blue_Monday
BS: "We came back for more. You should all be asleep in your tents
because if you look at the sky over there it's getting light. This
is, erm...erm, Blue Monday, I believe, ya. It's fucking crap, innit?"
As well as a bit more muttering a bit into the intro.
After the part where Barney says "now I stand here waiting", he calls
out "bass sequencer".
Ends in wails of feedback.
BS: "Well, I'm sorry about all the corny feedback at the end. Everyone
does that, don't they? Every fucking band...every band you've seen
at this festival." Bernard pulls away from the mic.
World_In_Motion
BS: "All right, in view of England...all right in view England's, eh,
3-nil victory over Denmark tonight, we just got to rub it in a little
bit, and this is our England World Cup song from a few years ago. It's
called 'World In Motion'.
Somebody in an a "Bench" shirt does the John Barnes rap bit. Who
is this? Hooky calls out "All together now!" as the music thins
out so folks can sing along.
PH: (near the end, a singalong bit) "All together now."
PH: (singing) "We're playing this song..."
BS: [interrupting] "Thank you!"
PH: (singing) "We're singing for England...."
He sings this very slowly, so Barney interrupts again.
BS: "Hang on, hang on, hang on, wait a minute, [muttering...]...you're
probably wondering why we're singing that song in Sweden..."
PH: (singing) "Arrividercci, it's one-on-one...."
BS: "It's finished!"
PH: "I'm just enjoying it!"
BS: "We're singing that song because we've been graced with the great
Swedish person in England, Sven Goran Ericsson [the coach of the team].
We've got a few good players as well, though."
(second encore)
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "My name's Bernard." (in that strange voice he used earlier)
BS: "Okay, we're gonna chill things out a little bit now, because this
really is the last song, it's called 'Your Silent Face'."
Great version, as always.
BS: "Thank you, it's been great to play Sweden. You've been a
great audience. Thank you very much for putting up with us!
Thank you, good bye."
Hooky closes out with a thunderous bass solo.
Source posted by dropdeadfred in EZT. The neat part is when you
can hear the rain coming down.
Band is introduced in German. Would be good to get a translation
at some point. House PA music comes, and is faded out.
Then Alan Wise starts talking. We catch him in progress.
AW: "...pitch, from the band. I want to introduce to you somebody
that's only sixteen, the ones that's next to this bugger(?)...
C'mon Paul Romaine...this guy's from Manchester, we all got our
Manchester culture, it's not one suburb, now look at him, now he's
ruined for life. Unlike the guys I'm going to introduce to you,
five lovely boys, New Order!."
BS: "Hello! Sorry about the rain. Boy Garbage say "We're
only happy when it rains", and as Travis say, what does
Travis say Hooky? Hooky watch your level, man.
Crystal
BS: "Okay, we're gonna start with Crystal."
Bernard calls "C'mon!" and whistles before the "keep it coming" part.
BS: [whistles] "Yoooo! Who gives a fuck about the rain?"
Well, that's it, I do. It's quite uncomfortable and it's making
my guitar strings go rusty."
Hooky stums bass a bit, and is cut off by Bernard.
BS: "Hooky can you turn down a little bit, please? Jerry, where are
you? Jerry? Jerry?"
Transmission
BS: "We can go way back into history now, we're gonna play a song
by Joy Division called Transmission."
Opening is a bit shaky here.
BS: "Yo! Danke schun.
Regret
BS: "Okay, have you had a good festival so far? I'm sorry about the rain
but we're English, and we're from Manchester, and everywhere we go it
fucking rains. You don't know what it's like, honestly. But after a
few years, you get used to it. In fact, we don't really regret it, so
this is Regret."
BS: "Yeah! Okay, let's tune up, just give us a second."
BS: "I'm really going to apologize about the rain. Jerry, can you put a
bit more top on the vocal, a bit more guitar and a bit more top on it, a
bit more compression on the vocal.
Twangy guitar strum.
BS: "I'm coming for the rabbit out of your ass at the same time."
(what the hell is this about?)
Ceremony
BS: "Did anyone see England get beat in the World Cup yesterday? It was
really sad, wasn't it? Because we didn't GET TO PLAY GERMANY!"
Morris hits a rim shot.
BS: "Eins-spei-drei-free-foo...Eins-spei-drei"
Digital stutter at 1:40.
BS: "Yeaaahhhhay. Thank you, thank you, thanks for putting up with the
rain. C'mon, rain more, it's not enough! It's not raining enough and
we want it to rain some more cuz we're not wet enough.
BS: "Is everybody having a good time at this festival? Don't think about
what you're gonna do when you get back to your tents and all your tents
are going to be really wet when you wake up in the morning, your
sleeping bag's gonna be wet. Come and stay at our hotel. No matter
how bad it is for you lot out there, it's worse for us staying at a ho... [cuts]
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play a song now, it's called 60 Miles An Hour, which
is about how many...it's about 100 kilometers an hour, and it's off our new
album which is called Get Ready."
Scream at 3:22, followed by fairly sloppy guitar playing.
BS: "Yooo! [whistles] All right, Davey, my guitar's out of tune, I
need the 330."
BS: "...out of tune."
Sounds of instuments being tuned, most notably a keyboard that sounds
like somebody is hitting random keys on. A true cachophony of noises.
BS: "Let...let it rain some more, it's not raining quite enough."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Okay, we're gonna chill things out a little bit now, we're gonna play
two long, slow songs, first one is called Your Silent Face."
At 2:40...
BS: "Yo!"
BS: "Thank you, merci beaucoup, danke schun. All right, please stop
raining, please stop raining, I give in! We are aware everybody's
wet, Jerry, mate, here monitor's fucked, so we have mainly my voice
through these wedges, I mean I'm hearing it mainly from out front,
can't be through here, just a buzz. Can I have Steve down, Steve
down a bit.
BS: "Okay, despite the rain, is anybody having a reasonably good time?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm..." [cut]
The_Beach
We're gonna play a song now that you've probably never heard before,
it's a song from a film called The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
and it's a very rare New Order song, we've only playhed it three times.
well, we've only palyed it twice, and this is the third time. So,
listen!
Actually, Bernard was right when he said "three".
BS: "Danke schun, Baader-Meinhorf"
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Okay, we're going to play an old Joy Division song now, we're not
going to play a song called Close Range, we're going to play a song called
She's Lost Control. By Joy Division, which is a group we used to be in a
long, long time ago. Hope you enjoy it. And it goes something like this."
[whistles]
Hooky's bassline falters, given the conditions, quite understandable.
Bernard yells at him like a madman.
BS: "HEY HOOKY, YOU GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!"
Which he does, of course.
BS: "Thank you!"
Ends with synth.
PH: "I want to tell you all God bless you, you fuckers. You fucking...
Fucking shit man, you're welcome. It's fucking horrendous, isn't it?
Stevie(?), mate, it's all your fault, you bastard. They'll gonna give
you another vascectomy later."
BS: "Sorry about..." [cut]
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, we're going to leap forward a few decades to the 1980s, with
Bizarre Love Triangle. It's about when Hooky met Phil in prison. Hooky
was Big Daddy, and Phil was Mummy."
Glitch at 2:18.
BS: (at end) "Yeah!"
PH: "Oh!"
Long pause, and a feedback squall.
Temptation
BS: "We are going to play a song for you now that's called Temptation."
Hooky makes a sound like a stuck pig. Or was that Bernard. One of them.
The sound gets noticably better here, a lot less muffled. A storming version,
too. In fact, the performances from hereon in are top-notch, in my opinion.
BS: "Yo!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Unusual intro with guitar being strummed, probably because everything's
soaked.
BS: "This is Love Will Tear Us Apart. Hooky's just g... fucking with
his bass, he can't play it."
PH: "C'mon you fucking..."
Somebody says something close to the mic I can't make out right after he
says this.
BS: "Thank you very much. You've been an absolutely fantastic audience
for putting up with this rain. Well, I say FUCK THE RAIN! But we have
got nice hotels for that too. Thanks very much, Hamburg, you're grand,
you've been a fucking great audience. We'll come back and play in
June again. Thank you. Danke schun!"
Fans clap a bit, and then somebody starts to play guitar on stage a bit.
Girls cry from "Blauer Montag"...
PH: "What are you fuckers like, anybody want to go home? [chuckles]
I love you all, jesus christ, I've never seen a fucking better sight
in my life. I've never been this wet in me fucking life, either.
All right, God bless you!"
BS: "Bonjour? Jerry? Can't seem to [something] Must've tried...
Digital
BS: "Digital, by Joy Division."
PH: "Jerry, more bass please!"
At 0:50 Bernard says somthing like, "Gary, fill."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Thank you!"
PH: "I give this one to Miles...you...fucking...cockney swa..."
(can't make out this at all, can anybody help?)
BS: "Now if you two would just turn around a little bit.
Hooky says something else, I can't make out, still whining
about something.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, we're gonna finish now with a song that we have to play
everywhere everwhere, anywhere we play, we have to play Blue Monday.
AND WE FUCKING HATE IT!!.
Bernard barks 1-2-3-4 in German during the intro.
He starts to stumble on the last part on the first verse, almost
speak-singing here.
After the second verse, Bernard loses it.
BS: "ARGH! THIS IS RIDICULOUS
And a bit later on...
BS: "FUCKING' GREAT!"
Announcer: "New Order, [rest is in German]"
Received from DIME. This is a very good quality audience recording,
slightly distant, with lots of audience participation in the forms of
claps, whistles, and German punters calling out for "Confusion".
Female announcer speaks (in German)...and then is drowned out by
claps and whistles.
Bass and then guitar and some keys to Crystal can be heard.
Inexplicably, some krauts start chanting for 'Confusion'.
Crystal
BS: "Hey! We are...New Order. And we hear we played like shit
the night before. But we hope you'll enjoy the set tonight.
We'll start with a song off our last album, it's called Crystal."
Volume increase at 1:42.
BS: "Peter!"
Loud whistling at end.
BS: "Jerry, can someone bring these please? Eahh! I'm tired, and it's
only the first song."
Transmission
BS: "This is an old song by our former group Joy Division. It's called
Transmission. Hooky's got a few problems here, because we played in
Hamburg last night. And the gig got totally rained out, and the stage
was an inch deep in rain. We've got a few problems in our equipment.
Hooky's got a few problems with his equipment anyway. [he strums bass]
Bear with us, bear with us."
More bass strumming, into the intro, followed by a bum note.
Bernard whistles at 3:17. Ouch.
BS: "Thank you!"
BS: "We've got better rooms, we had a lot of problems last night, and
our gear got soaking wet. But we're gonna soldier on. Turn Hooky down
a bit, Jerry, the side fill. You're right, Hooky..."
Hooky is soundchecking the bassline to the next song, meanwhile.
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is a song called Regret."
BS: "Thank you!" More calls for Confusion.
Ceremony
Annoying whistling at about 0:10 in.
A scuffle at 3:50 and some chatter (in English and then German) at the
4:00 mark. Digital stutter at 4:47.
BS: "Hey! Thank you very much." Hooky strums bass.
Loud German chattering here, followed by feedback.
Sixty_Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Sorry about that feedback. For this is a song off our last album,
called 60 Miles An Hour.
BS: (at end) "'k you!"
Punter calls out for Blue Monday a couple of times.
BS: "Is everyone having a good time? Think you've had a good festival?
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "We're gonna chill things out a little bit with a slow song. It's very
beautiful. It's called Your Silent Face."
At, 2:06, BS: "C'mon...child(?), make the front...it'll cause you trouble(?),
man."
Bernard sings "so why don't you shut up" instead of the usual "piss off".
BS: "Thank you. Brutal mess, man(?). Listen, If you can chill out a bit at the
front because we don't want anyone to get hurt, I see people are getting crushed
up front. We don't want anyone to get hurt. We want everyone to have a
good time, and no one to get hurt. A bit like the World Cup.
Brutal
BS: "Okay, this is, erm, a song we did for a film called 'The Beach'. We
very rarely play it live. It's called Brutal."
Dawn Zee vocals are prominent in this one.
BS: "Okay! Damien, can I have the SG, please? Listen, man, you've got
to chill out in front because someone's gonna get seriously hurt.
C'mon, you've got a great couple of days in this festival, we don't want
anybody to get hurt. C'mon, just chill out and have a good time!"
The old Bernard would have said the same thing, but then quipped that he
really didn't give a fuck, but it sounded good to say.
Close_Range
BS: "Okay, this is Close Range."
Digital glitch at 2:32.
This version is somewhat unformed.
BS: "Listen, chill out, chill out, we don't want anyone to get hurt.
It's fucking hot in here, we've come here for a good time, we don't want
any broken bones."
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Okay, this is a Joy Division song, it's called She's Lost Control,
and it features Mr. Peter Hook on bass. That's Stephen Morris on drums,
and Mr. Phil Cunningham, who's my assistant."
This is a very interesting quip, as Cunningham was Bernard's
assistant during Twisted Tenderness (at least the live promotional
performances on music shows and the like)
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Jerry, Hooky's busting me out, but I'm coming from Phil's monitors or
something. Okay, you may noticed that I've put my guitar down, [Hooky
exclaims something I can't make out at this point] so we'll start playing
songs that feature the synthesizer. This is Bizarre Love Triangle."
Some German chatter at 3:00 mark.
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is an old hit of ours, it's called True Faith."
PH: "Always(?) love your enemy." [What's this about?]
BS: (at end) "Thank you!"
PH: "You're very kind."
BS: "Thank you for the shoe. It's my size as well."
Good one.
Temptation
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play a song called Temptation."
BS: "Danke schun"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "I'm afraid it's come to that time of night, and this is our last
song. It's an oldie but a goodie, it's called Love Will Tear Us
Apart."
Hooky does his standard "Here we go!" during the bridge.
BS: "Thank you very much you've been a fantastic audience in
Sttutgart. As we say, Merci Beaucoup."
Fans start chanting 'New Order'...
BS: "Okay, this is my, um, favorite song that we've ever written. It's
called Atmosphere. It's a song by Joy Division. We are Joy Division."
BS: "Hey, wrong tune."
BS: "Danke schun, danke schun."
Folks call out for "Rock The Shack". How weird.
Digital
BS: "What will we play next, Hooky? This is Blue Monday, I guess..."
[The drum machine beats start]
BS: "Whoa, it's not, whoa it's not, c'mon...whoa whoa...this is
Digital...
BS: (at end) "Thank you!"
Blue_Monday
BS: "This is Blauer Montag. Das ich Blauer Montag." Somebody's still
calling ot for RTS, go figure.
Ear splitting whistle by Bernard at 1:40.
BS: "Thank you, good night, you've been a great audience! Thank you
Stuttgart, Germany. Hope you win the World Cup!"
Source is from Alex Staszko's master. The tape comes in slightly
late, missing the first few seconds of Crystal. Levels fluctuate
as Alex is presumably trying to get the best sound levels, so the
bass is distorted while this is going on.
See http://www.music-dash.co.uk/live/archivelive.asp?item=54 for
his account of the gig.
BS: "One - two."
Transmission
BS: "Thank you guys! For this next song, we'd like to welcome from the
Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante. Hey, Wait a minute, he got a
bigger cheer than I did! This is a Joy Division song called Transmission."
BS: "Thank you! Thank you, John!"
Regret
Lots os chatter before this one.
BS: "I'm out of breath in there. I'm out of breath. This is an old
song of ours called Regret."
BS: "Thank you. Okay, just give us a second while we tuning up."
Punters grouse, "For fook's sake"...Hooky tunes bass and reprises a
bit of Regret's bassline.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "This is a track off our last album, it's called 60 Miles An Hour."
The band are completely out of sync, especially Hooky, resulting in a
breakdown.
BS: "I'm sorry we fucked the start of it up. This time we'll get it right.
And you know what, it adds a bit of anarchy to the show."
The second attempt isn't much better to be honest.
Folks start chanting, just as they would on a football pitch.
BS: "Is everyone in the crowd having a good time. It's all right
here, it's not bad, it's all right. Well, we got a beautiful sunny
day today for this festival. We just played in Germany, I'll tell
you, it pissed down all the time. It's three for Manchester, we play
for joy(?)"
Somebody calls out "Win the fucking England Cup".
Your_Silent_Face
Okay, this is going to chill you out a little bit, so that you get a
break. This is Your Silent Face, [mutters] beautiful song.
BS: "Muchas gracias!"
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, this is a Joy Division song, it's called Atmosphere."
BS: "Merci beaucoup!"
Some Ole chanting.
Close_Range
BS: "All right. This is Close Range."
BS: "Thank you!"
Sound of a guitar buzzing
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Must apologize for my assistant guitarist there. His equipment isn't
up too much. He has very small equipment, whereas I have superb equipment.
Sow(?) yer fuckin' life out, here we go."
BS: "Thank you very much. Most of you probably heard...never heard
that song before. We wrote it a very long time ago. It's called She's
Lost Control."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "This next song we're gonna play now does not feature any guitars
whatsoever. It's a bit of a dance tune, it's called Bizarre Love
Triangle. It's about when Hooky met Phil in prison. Hooky was
Big Daddy, and Phil was mommy."
BS: "Thank you. Jerry couldn't believe our ballad(?). (breaths hard)
I fucking golf now. That was BS."
Bass strumming.
BS: "Is everybody having a good summer's evening here in Dublin?
You said no! Wouldn't you rather be at home watching television now"
What's wrong with you? Still...Phil, stop fucking around and get on
with it!"
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is Temptation."
BS: "Thank you very much."
PH: "Where's my fat ugly mate gone down here, who the wrecks up on yer
fat ugly cunt, there you are!" [chuckles] Oh, delightful, I love
to see children enjoying themselves, but you go out and watch yer
mum and dad [something] you fat twat."
BS: "What did he say? I can't ever heard what he said."
[Like to figure out what that was about]
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Cut at 3:25. Whoops. I guess that's how it was.
Writeup missing the encore tracks, ATRs tape cut short it seems.
The sound is more gig-like than some of the other "cleaner"
recordings. The FM broadcast (or the webcast thereof)
doesn't include the first three songs. There's also an
audience version as well that is very listenable, though
there's static in certain places, and yet another version
with Bernard's hello.
Crystal
(not present on FM broadcast)
BS: "Hello, we're New Order. I'll say that again. We're New
Order."
BS: "Hooky, you're a bit loud there man. Okay, this is Crystal.
C'mon Phil, not again! It's just a piece of gear."
At 02:36, 5:10, and 5:32, there's static in the right channel
(mic connection problems).
(at end)
BS: "Okay, Jerry a bit more top on the voice, a bit more top
on the guitar, a bit more top on the guitar track, a bit more
top on the drums, a bit less top on the bass [cackles slightly]
apart from that, it's alright."
Transmission
BS: "This is Transmission."
Bernard's guitar into is a bit off at the start.
BS: "Whoa, thank you. Whoa. Jerry, drums down a bit."
Regret
lady announcer, with British accent:
"...to the Orange stage where the four members of New Order are
playing right now. And I'm waiting for a signal, and we are
broadcasting now!"
Only the last minute or so of this song is broadcast. Naturally,
the audience versions captures it in full.
BS: "Yooowwww! Hooky, where are you? Hello, Peter? Just turn it
down a little bit, please."
Ceremony
BS: "We call him the wandering minstrel."
Sounds fantastic, except for the first few seconds, where there's no
sound in the right channel! The audience version doesn't have this
problem.
On the audience versions, there's static at 2:07 (same deal as
Crystal above).
BS: "Thank you."
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Where's that fucking music coming from? Turn the disco off!"
(one of the other stages was playing techno or somesuch, which you
can hear throughout this gig.)
Bernard continues:
BS: "It's not a fucking wedding you know, it's a rock concert! This
is 60 Miles An Hour, it's off our latest album, which is called Get
Ready. Get fucking ready, because here we come!"
Hooky's bass is out of time with the rest of the group in the intro.
On the audience version, there's static at 4:03 (same deal as above).
BS: "Thank you. Merci Beaucoup."
Atmosphere
Hooky plays bass riff a bit.
BS: "Okay, we're gonna hop back a few years now, about 23, to
be precise. This is a song called Atmosphere."
They play it.
BS: "Thank you! Jerry, you better take this [Gibson] 330 out in
front, otherwise it's going to feedback like fuck. And we can do
with a little bit more fill." (not Phil).
Brutal
BS: "Okay, is everybody having a good time? Okay, we're going to
stop all that, because we're going to play a fucking down song.
[Steve pounds skins twice] Because we're miserable bastards from
Manchester. But we beat England in the World Cup. And we beat
Scotland in the World Cup. Or Scotland weren't even in the World Cup.
[Steve hits cymbals to signify a punchline delivered]"
(after)
BS: "Yo, thank you!"
Close_Range
BS: "Jerry, can I have the keyboard..st....up."
BS: "Thank you. I am fucked."
Shes_Lost_Control
PH: "Anyway, this one's for John Entwistle...God bless him, got the best
band in Heaven...fuck me."
BS: "This is She's Lost Control."
A very good version of this as well. In the future, I will
have slightly more substantive comments.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "This is...this next song...a song called Bizarre Love Triangle, and
the lyrics are about when Hooky met Phil in prison, Hooky was Big Daddy,
Phil was mommy, and they formed a bizarre love triangle."
They play the song.
On the audience version, you can hear some Bernard say something
off-mic, but it's almost impossible to make out.
BS: "You have to excuse us, we've gone on tour for a week, and we're
all fucked. Whole week."
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
Hooky yells out "Morning Sun!" at 2:25. A bit later on, he says, "I
love you.".
Hooky ends it with a monsterous riff.
BS: "Turn the fucking disco off!". Never thought to ever hear him
utter those words, but again, he's directing this towards an adjacent
stage.
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is Temptation."
after...
BS: "Yooooo! Thank you very much. Is everyone having a good time?"
[cheers] "That's what we...what we're all here for."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
A few emphatic "c'mon's" and "yeah's" here.
BS: "Thank you, you've been a great audience! It's been great
to play here in Copenhagen. Thank you, good night!"
A bell rings, and there's some clapping, as well as some strummed
bass. Cheers go on for a minute or two until the Order come back
on stage.
Blue_Monday
PH: "Hey, it's been a long time, Roskilde, and God bless you, you're
still as good as I remember. So, just for you, because we never normally
play it...Roger, it it!"
Static at 0:30 on audience version.
BS: (at about 0:50) "Hah!" (at 1:20) "Bass sequencer up."
(at 1:30) "Hey, hah!". At 1:35, there's the famous god-awful whistling,
another one at 2:10.
lyric: "If it wasn't for your big penis, I'd be a heavenly person today."
BS: "Thank you."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "We're gonna leave...we're gonna play one more song for you, and
then we're gonna leave the stage for our very good friends Primal Scream,
whom will be...I'll be staying to watch...all the way from sunny Scotland.
This is a song that we've not played too much, it's called Your Silent Face."
BS: "Thank you, good night, you've been a fantastic audience! Good
night..." (broadcast version fades at this point) Denmark, good Night
Copenhagen!"
Have this from MP3s made from 'move cd 1'. Audience recording, very
trebly, but still listenable.
An unknown individual introduces Alan Wise:
"Congratulations Manchester on a fantastic rendition of "Anarchy In
The UK". Fantastic. Right. I am not here to compere or introduce
Joy Division or New Order. My job is to introduce Alan Wise, who
always introduces Joy Division / New Order. Ladies and gentlemen,
a big hand for Alan Wise!"
AW: "Ladies and gentlemen [he slurs this] things are changin',
and I've been thinking about them, like every New Order fan,
I've been thinkin'. Cricket's changing, innit? First of all
the five day game, then the three day game, then the limited
over game, and now six wankers that take drugs on the stage.
Welcome to Old Trafford, New Order!"
Love_Vigilantes
PH: "Good evening, nice to be back. Thank you!"
BS: "Hello! It's a beautiful night here in Manchester, and we're
gonna play our hearts out for you. This is Love Vigilantes."
Bernard screams "yeah!" at the end. Chants of "New Order" start
up.
Crystal
BS: "This is Crystal."
Transmission
BS: "Great playing our hometown of Old Trafford. We're gonna head
back to the tender years of our youth. This is a Joy Division song
called Transmission.
Regret
PH: "This one's for you, Bowser! Happy Birthday, mate! No regrets!"
BS: "Okay we're gonna pump it up a little bit now, this is a song called
Regret."
Bernard screams "Yeah" at the end.
_60__Miles_An_Hour
BS: "Is everyone having a good time? Great."
Somebody strums, and there's female chatter.
BS: "Just give us one second while we tune up. All right, now we're
tuned up. This is 60 Miles An Hour."
(at end)
BS: "Yeaahh! Jacko, you got the 330 please?"
Brutal
BS: "Okay, uh...we're going to do this song which is very difficult
on this particular guitar I've got. It's a song we've never played
here in Manchester, we did it for a film called 'The Beach', and it's
called Brutal."
Solid rendition.
BS: "Thank you we gotta play something new, something old, something
borrowed, something blue. Jerry can you turn the BB's down a little
bit, please."
Shes_Lost_Control
(some muttering I can't make out"
PH: "Well, I suppose we should dedicate this one to John Entwhistle,
God bless him. Cuz I fucking loved him and I don't care about you.
Thank you Steve, any time you're ready."
BS: "This is She's Lost Control."
Which they play.
BS: "Merci Beucoup."
BS: "This is going to be our last gig for some thing because we're
gonna go back into the studio and record another album. So please
enjoy it as much as we're enjoying it. We're give you each a form
at the end of the show, and if you can give us marks, A, B, or C,
A is very, very good, B is okay, and C is dogshit. We hope not to
get many C's."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
Barney whistles loudly at the start.
Brief dropout near end.
BS: "Richard, [breath] please..." [can't totally make this out]
Barney pants.
BS: "Thank you very much. Can you go home now?"
PH: "Fucking lost it a bit here, did anyone notice? All right, Twinny!
Where are you mate? Twinny!"
Touched_By_The_Hand_Of_God
BS: "This is Touched By The Hand Of God"
At 3:57, Barney yells out "1-2-3-4", in German.
BS: "Thank you." Somebody woos, don't know if it was on stage.
BS: "Is this guitar out of tune, I can't fucking tell. Is there a
musiciam in the audience. There's none on fucking stage. Only a
joke, only a joke!"
Crowd starts to chant, "New Order, New Order..."
BS: "Kindly think of a better tune than that, I like the chant, I
like the words, but we need a better tune guys. How about this one?"
The band then play True_Faith (Perfecto version)
PH: (growls out at 4:25) "Fookin' 'ell, how's [odds]?"
BS: "Okay, okay, we're getting warmed up a little bit now.
You lot getting warmed up. We're having a rare beautiful
day here in Man, the shun...the sun is shining down on us.
Make the most of it. Okay, let us tune up one more time.
Give us five minutes.
I suppose we gotta say hello to Martha Boulton, who's wife(?)...the
first day on earth today, God bless her.
Temptation
Alrighty, all right, this is Temptation. We all want to sing all
ong, which is, "Up down, turn around, please don't let me hit the
ground.".
lyric: "Last fucking time!"
BS: "Thank you!" Hooky vamps a bit.
World_In_Motion
BS: "All right, all right. We got a special guest to introduce. His
last record flopped, so he's come crawling back to us. Please welcome,
Fathers(?) himself, Mr. Keith Allen. Here he is, the king of cool...
the Prince of Darkness himself, the Prince Of Darkness.
The PA chews up whatever it was that Keith was saying, all I can make
out is "Living legend."
I wrote a song for Keith, we wrote a song for Keith, a World Cup song,
it's called 'World In Motion'!
A bit chaotic right before the intro, three people talk at once.
Fans yell out "Wales" at the End.
BS: "Thanks a lot, you've been a fucking great audience. It's great to play
at Old Trafford. Hail, Manchester. Hail, Rome. Good night! Thank
you, Keith Allen, thank you Peter Hook, thank you Stephen Morris,
thank you, Phil Cunningham, thank you everyone here."
Digital
BS: "No rest for the wicked."
Indeed.
Barney yells out "Status Quo" at 2:15, probably in reference
to the riffs. Haha.
BS: "Sometimes, you know, it's a competition with New Order
who finishes the fucking song last. And I always seem to lose!"
LWTUA
Some silence in the beginning. Guy and gal start altering
"c'mon" calls.
PH: "This one dedicated to all of you, Manchester, because I'm
fucking proud to live here. Thank fuck for that. 1-2-3-4!"
At 2:05, Barney yells out, "C'mon!" and "Yeah". Hooky yells
out, "Stephen Morris." Followed by an ear-piercing whistle and
a "yeah".
BS: "Thank you very much.
Blue_Monday
BS: "You gotta ask yourself, could they have possibly have any more
good tunes to play tonight? Well they thought it was all over, it is
now."
This is the version with Kylie's 'Just Can't Get You Out Of My Head'
mixed in. I guess not. :)
Nah, it's actually pretty good.
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Thank you, you've been been absolutely fucking great audience.
I'm sorry for swearing, but on occasions like this I've been known to.
I'm going to chill you out tonight with a really sort of chilled-out
song just to send you all home happy, it's called Your Silent Face."
At 2:10 Barney states, "Jacko, man."
BS: "Thank you very much, It's been an honor playing in front of
you here. You've been a fucking great audience. Old Trafford's
great, Manchester's great, Salford's great, we're great, everything's
great, what do we got to worry about? Good night!"
Only a little bit more before tape is faded out.
Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys introduce the winners of the
NME's "God-Like Genius" award, to a standing ovation.
The first thing Hooky does is hug Tennant and Low. The second thing
is to toss out the script containing (I assume) the prepared acceptance
script. Then Bernard says a few words. Alan Wise and former band
member Gillian Gilbert are on stage as well, looking surprisingly attractive.
Phil Cunningham doesn't get up on stage, since this involves the "previous
incarnation".
The trophy is a hand, with (of course) a raised middle finger.
Announcer: "We're near the end, these are the Vinegar Strokes [clears
throat]. So it's an alternative band, the Vinegar Strokes. Anyway, and
so we come to the last award of the night, Godlike Genius. To tell you
a bit more about this very special award, please welcome Neil Tennant &
Chris Lowe from the Pet Shop Boys."
They come out to "You Were Always On My Mind" playing on the PA.
Neil Tennant: "Hi. Good Evening. I think few musicians manage to
change the landscape of music once, but three of the people in this band
have done it twice. Their first group's unearthly post-punk was as
original and influential as the Velvet Underground had been 20 years
previously. Their second group combinded rock guitars and electronics
in a way that never had been done before, spawning the best selling 12"
single ever, and inspiring generations of bands. The club they owned,
or co-owned, the Hacienda, became the northern crucible of rave culture.
We all went. Classic singles like True Faith, Regret, or Temptation,
continue to unite students and football hooligans alike in dancefloor
ecstasy. 28 years from their first release as Joy Division, they're
still the epitome of Northern cool. Ladies and gentlemen, the winners
of the Godlike Geniuses award, uh...New Order."
The band come out to "True Faith" playing.
BS: "I'd like to thank Neil for a windersful speech, but Chris, I
notice you didn't say anything. Is the feeling mutual or reciprocated,
or did it stick in your throat? I'd like to thank Tony Wilson of
Factory Records for making this IMpossible, and I'ld like to thank the
rest of the band for putting up with my ego for the last 25 years. Over
to Hooky, talking about egos."
PH: "Ah, I think we should say a word for Rob Gretton, Ian Curtis,
Martin Hannet, the people that aren't with us, so eh...this has really
touched me tonight, and really...thanks." Hooky than exhibits quite
an extraordinary tittering laugh, while holding back tears.
BS: "Thank you everyone, and we're honored to get this award, as the
NME helped us in Joy Division when we started out and we were 20
years old, and I hope they continue doing the same thing for many years
to come. Thank you!"
Announcer: "Absolutely brilliant and truly deserved. Oh God, that's
it, it's finished, it's finished, but for one little thing. Firstly,
thank you so much for bearing with us and hope you've enjoyed yourselves,
hope you're pissed up or what4ever, probably had a joint or something,
oh, I don't know what you do. Settle down. And now we have the biggest
treat of them all. For the first time ever at the NME awards, a live
performance by the Godlike Geniuses. Ladies and gentlemen, would you
please give it up to a band whose records you should never throw at
zombies! New Order!"
[last comment is in reference to a scen in 'Shaun Of The Dead' where one
of the protagonists throws a Blue Monday sleeve at one of the undead after
him]
Krafty
Phil is on both guitar and keyboards. Bernard has an earpiece now, and
during the first verse is reading from an autocue. This version has
Dawn Zee backing vocals, which sound pre-recorded. The audience
cheering sounds overdubbed, the audience stands mostly still, those
tossers, one of the ladies in the front is even being poured champagne.
Bernard sings, "Mountains, rivers, and the human race" (instead of
"lakes").
The mix is bass and vocal heavy.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Bernard starts with a "1, 2, 3, 4" count-up.
He's playing this with a Rickenbaker brown sunburst.
Shot of the Gilbert sisters dancing along...heh.
Hooky yells out, "Ready, Steeevve!" during the bridge and grunts a bit
later on, with Bernard crying "C'mon" as well.
There are waaay too many cuts.
Blue_Monday_
This has fully mated with the Kylie song, which is probably for
the better. A couple of whistles after the KW mellotron bit starts,
as well as a "Hey". Broadcast fades this out after three minutes, pity.
The broadcast is titled 'Le Live De Le Semaine'. or "Live This Week"...
There's an announce who introduces the tracks (in French) while "I Told
You So" plays in the background.
Jetstream
The band are depicted coming up on stage and strapping their instruments
on.
BS: "Bonjour, Je Ne P... New Order". I'm told while he meant to say,
"We are New Order", he humorously ended up stating "I am New Order".
Hey_Now_What_You_Doing
(at end)
BS: "Merci Beaucoup".
Krafty
BS: "Hey, this is Krafty."
A bit of actual tuning (playing scales) after this one finishes up.
BS: "Yo. Thank you, thank you."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "We would like to dedicate this to em, our good old friend
Ian Curtis who died, erm, 25 years ago, in eh this May, coming
this May. We would like to ddedicate this song to him because
he helped write it. Thank you."
Bernard mistakenly skips "Is my timing that flawed" line, so he
has to lamely sing the "Respect runs so dry" line twice.
BS: "Thank you. What a fantastic audience, and it's been great.
It's gonna be "si vous plez" back [couple words] France.
Merci beaucoup. Au revoir. See you tomorrow, see you next week,
see you next year."
Transcription from THO recording, which was done 5 feet away from
the stage facing Hooky, but unfortunately suffers the effects of
"brickwalling" (input preamp gain overload), which can for the
most part be treated with crackle removal and from buzzing from
the LCD screen, which luckily was a problem only at the very start.
However, in late 2009, a second version surfaced, which will be
used to fill in on what the THO version misses.
NOOL gets a namecheck in the conversation between THO and GaoBest
that fills up the seven minutes before the band go on. Some choice
quotes:
"OG's, I don't believe I said OGs."
Regarding whether THO would get sleep before the trip to Coachella,
"not much time to sleep". Indeed, this was the case, didn't feel
like sleeping.
"This place is filling up pretty good". We had talked about the
venue not selling out, but it turns out it was nearly full by the
time the band started to play.
There's mention of Badly Drawn Boy (Damon Gough) having once been
a NO roadie. We also talked about the new "No" logo, which I argued
was kind of a continuation of the orange line used in Republic, erm
Get Ready's thematic artwork.
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Hello. I'm back."
BS: "Hi, we're New Order, of course. It's wonderful to be back
in San Francisco. I'm ashamed...we've forgot to wear some flowers
in our hair."
BS: "Okay, emm...thanks to the Chemical Brothers for playing with us
on this gig. We're all...are really big fans of theirs, and em, I
thought they did a great set. I'll say that more sincerly...I thought
they were fucking great."
BS: "Now, it's been 25 years since the singer of our first group
Joy Division died, Ian Curtis. We'd like to remember him tonight
by starting with a song that features Hooky's wonderful bass lines
called 'She's Lost Control'.
(at end)
BS: "Thank you! Cheers, thanks a lot. Whoo!"
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Dark song, but we're going to brighten things up a little now."
PH: 'This one's for your boys in Iraq, God bless 'em."
BS: "It's called 'Love Vigilantes'"
(at end)
BS: "Oh, thank you!"
[ 'She's Lost Control' and 'Love Vigilantes' were not recorded
on the THO version due to the recorder being bumped, which either
caused it to pause or not properly save. I remember Barney saying
"I am New Order" (in reference to his badly mangled French intro at
CANAL+)...which he amended to "We are New Order". Hooky dedicated
Love Vigilantes to "your boys in Iraq". ]
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
[ The first minute on the THO version wasn't recorded, again due to the
technical problems with the recorder. ]
BS: "Woooh! Thank you. Jerry, can I have a bit less DBs here?"
Hooky riffs for a second or so.
BS: "Okay, it's a long time since we've played here, but it really
is genuinely good to be back. We're gonna play a track off the, er,
new album, which is called "No" apparently. And, eh, it's called
Hey_Now_What_You_Doing."
During the "writing songs on your home computer" lyric, Bernard makes
hand-striking-keyboard gestures.
BS: "Thank you! Thanks for Phil on that one, that was his riff.
Oh God, is it hot! I tell you what, it's hotter than England here.
I hope it's not going to be this hot at Coachella because if it is,
I won't...I won't be able to to take it and I have to storm offstage
like Morrissey does."
The taper guffaws loudly at this comment.
PH: "That big poof".
BS: "Right, this is Krafty". The band then proceed to play it.
BS: "Wooh! A bit less kick drum, Dave, please. We're only waiting
for number one, two, three, or four, it's definitely one of them.
Well, for us, that's quite a fun track, is it, it's quite optimistic."
Someone cries for "Temptation".
Transmission
PH: "This one's for the young boy that very kindly gave me the Factory
CD last night, I really enjoyed it, so thank you."
(This is in reference to Hooky's DJ stint at the Popscene club the
previous night)
PH: "Okay, Phil."
This version has the synth drone intro restored, unlike the 2002
version, which I remember as not having it. A great improvement, in
my opinion.
BS: "Thank you. Jerry, a bit less of my voice please, and a tad more
of my guitar. Whooh! I'm knackered now, I tell ya. I'm not as young
as I used to be. Neither is anyone, actually."
Phil drops in a house piano bit.
BS: "Okay, we're gonna hop things up now for you disco bunnies in the
audience and play some dance tracks. Did I say 'tracks'? What I meant
to say was 'track'. It's called True_Faith.
Also another really good acid squiggle effect during the bridge.
Apparently Roger Lyons (at the direction from the band, of course) had
made several improvements to the songs over the 2002 versions.
Run_Wild
Debut version. Everybody was shocked to hear this one!
BS: "A bit more Hooky, Jerry. So we took you up with that one. So
now, we're gonna take you down. Andy Liddle, please make sure we
can see the guitar on this one because it's very tricky. It involves
chords with suspenders in them. Okay, this is "Run Wild".
Excellent bass work from Hook.
lyric: "Good times, bad times, around the corner."
BS: "That's the first time we ever played that live, so, er, if it
was...if it was shit, if it...ask for your money back at the desk
and I'll personally guarantee it."
Needless to say, it was not shit. Much better than when they had dug
up Guilty Partner during their end-of-1998 UK gigs.
Here is where THO yells out for "We All Stand", in homage to ATR.
PH: "All right, love, all right." [turns out he was reacting to
Viking Gary down front]
BS: "Okay, we're gonna groove things up a little bit..."
PH: (simultaneously) "You're gonna have a fucking heart attack!"
Ouch.
BS: (continuing) "...now. That was a beautiful song, one of my
favorite songs. Well, that's not saying anything really, is it?
Wha...what does that mean, 'one of your favorite songs'?"
Jetstream
BS: "here's another one of my favorite songs. It's off the new
album. It's called Jetstream.
Which the band play, probably the weakest song of the set.
BS: "Thank you! Has anyone got a glass of water please instead
of this...wine. You can all serve this wine later, right, yeah.
Over there please, Phil [directing him to place the water on top
of his amp rather than giving it to him]. This is our roadie Phil.
Well, he's Peter's roadie. Say hello to the audience, Phil."
At this point, a female individual that had apparently elbowed her
way to the front started screaming maniacally, much to the consternation
of those around her.
BS: (continuing) "All the way from England, very fantastic. Okay,
we're gonna bore the ass out of you with another track off the new
album. And this is the title track off the new album, and it's...it's
actually is pretty good, you know. It's all right. It's called
Waiting_For_The__Sirens'__Call.
Which in my opinion, is the best of the new songs played tonight.
BS: "Thank you. Whoa. So, we're trying to concentrate on the playing
tonight. A little...a little less jumping, but we're getting to playing
right. It was always our vice. it was either jumping around and the
playing was shit, or the playing's good. Which you want?"
More shouts for Temptation, etc.
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "I suppose it'll have to be the bleeding jumping around, won't it.
This is Bizarre Love Triangle, and it's about a relationship between
Peter and Stephen and Ian Curtis that happened a long long time ago
and they all prefer to forget about it. We don't talk about it anymore."
The band take Bernard by surprise by triggering the song early (BS: "whoa,
wot's that?"), in an attempt to get him to shut up.
Bernard's dancing is truly remarkable, as at one point he actually
starts to roll on the floor, which is why you can hear the taper
singing "Like A Virgin". Near the end, Hooky really starts going
wild with his bass, meriting the cries of "How low can you go?" and
"Lower!" from the same loudmouthed taper.
BS: "Ohh, merci beaucoup. thank you. [clears throat] Okay, so I
got a bit carried away there. This is Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart.
[waits a few seconds] Hooky starts this one, don't you Hooky.
PH: "Yes, and I like to take my time, in bed as well as on stage.
Ha ha ha ha."
Good one!
[THO version: Brief internal cut on recording when synths come in.]
Bernard messes up the lyrics, reciting the same line twice.
During the song Hooky yells out, "Go get 'em, boys!" in reference
to a crowd surfer, and when the gel-spiked youth was about to be
grabbed by security, "Don't let them take you, boy!". Hooky also
yells out, "here we go!" at the usual place in the song and urges
the band "C'mon, San Francisco"..."c'mon...c'mon!!!" and "at full
speed!" near the end.
BS: "Cheers, thanks a lot. It's a good song, innit? I'm getting
too old for this game."
Fans cry for Temptation again. There's a fairly long pause here
between songs.
BS: (quoting from 'Working Overtime') "House music all night
long. Where did it all go wrong?" This is Temptation.
According to David Sultan of WiM, Bernard pulls the ligament of
his foot dancing during this song. This affects his mobility
for the rest of the US gigs (unfortunately or fortunately as he
later remarked during the Coachella appearance)
BS: "Cheers, thank you. What's next? If I could reach, I'd give
you all a sip of my wine, but I don't think it'd last too long.
He then sings the John Phillips tune. "If you're going to San
Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. If you're
going, c'mon lads, [Hooky joins him] to San Francisco da na na,
[finishing] some happy people there."
The new recording fades out after 'Cheers, thank you.'...and doesn't
capture the acapella bit or the intro to 'Crystal'.
Crystal
BS: "Okay, we're gonna round up this corral of songs, we're gonna
ride this rodeo. And this is, [softly] uh, what was it, Crystal
ending? Crystal, I think."
A very good version thereof.
BS: "Thank you, San Francisco! We did our best, we hope it's good
enough. Goodbye, thank you!"
(fade out/in on new version)
The band come back on to encore with Blue_Monday. They also
had planned on playing Atmosphere, but could not due to the strict
time curfew of the venue.
[ This song wasn't recorded on the THO version, again, due to recorder
getting paused by mistake.]
This version features the Kylie samples at the end and had Hooky
bass riffs and beating the symdrums all the way to the end, breathing
more life than wont into this hoary chestnut.
Abbreviated set (about an hour) due to the scheduling.
Bernard was wearing a shirt with "Muhammad Ali" on the back, which
was strange. Hooky was wearing a black Adidas pullover, and Stephen
has a shirt with "Bant" (umlaut over the a) on it.
New Order opened with Atmosphere, which was supposed to be the
first Oakland encore track but wasn't played due to venue time limits.
BS: "Hello, everyone! We're New Order, all the way from England.
I'm afraid I've hurt my foot, got bit by a shark surfing in LA.
But we'll do our best, and eh, we're gonna start with a Joy Division
song, it's called..."
And indeed, Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart was dedicated to
David Sultan of WiM, with a joking admonition to "fook off" right
afterwards of course.
gregv reports:
PH: "I've got these fucking phtographers up in my tits. Fuck off,
the lot of you." He was looking and pointing at specific photographers
in the pit when he said it. Hilarious.
Part of the mood may have come from the fact that they had to follow on
the heels of Gang of Four, who managed to pull out one of the most
amazingly true performances of their career- but then, this isn't a Gang
of Four board!
Back to the boys.
Atmosphere. They opened the freaking set with it.
Love Will Tear Us Apart. Hooky dedicated it to Steve, followed by "you
bastard." [this isn't correct, actually, see above]
Bernard had sprained/injured his foot and mentioned it a couple of times
during the show, i.e., he announced that they were going to do a dance
song and asked that we take care of the dancing because he could not.
Enter: "Bizarre Love Triangle."
The sound engineer messed up the bass in the mix for the first couple
songs but got it straightened out. Stuff from "Siren" included "Waiting
for the Siren's Call," "Hey Now What You Doing," "Krafty," and
"Jetstream" (with the Scissor Sister vocal on tape).
Only "Crystal" showed up from Get Ready, but it was massively well
performed and well received. Maybe the best song of the night.
"Blue Monday" got the attention of just about everyone at Coachella when
they wrapped the set with it, but then, it's "Blue Monday" and they're
New Order so no doubt.
Feeling totally fortunate to have seen this great band tonight.
Transcription
Made from MP3 files of what I believe is the DPA recording of the gig.
Also have another version from AK in lossless form, though it seems to
be monaural.
This was the first time that Temptation hadn't been played since the '93
Dublin Point Depot performance. Before that you'd have to go to 1987,
to both the Finsbury Park London and first New York Pier 84 gigs (during
the prior Australian tour, they had alternated nights with and without
this tune.
BS: "Hello, everyone. We are New Order, all the way from England."
(missing from DPA version)
BS: "I'm afraid we're gonna be a little bit static again. I hurt my
foot. I got bit by a shark when I was surfing in LA. But we'll do our
best."
UK punter #1: "C'mon, Barney lad." (DPA)
Atmosphere
BS: "And, eh, We're gonna start with a Joy Division song. It's called
Atmosphere."
PH: "1, 2, 3, 4".
(at the end)
BS: "Cheers, thanks, where's the bleeding wine?"
BS: "You know that...chime thing, Jerry, that's a bit loud."
PH: "Philip, my radio is crapping out again.
Guitar chord, and arpeggio.
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
punter: "Sarah!" (AK)
BS: "This is, eh, a song off our new album called Waiting For The
Sirens' Call. And the album is as well. Oh, look, a helicopter!"
(to laughs)
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Jerry, can I have a bit more fill please?"
punter chick: "Woooh...Confusion!" (AK) Unlikely.
Regret
BS: "Okay. We're gonna...eh, we're going to play Regret now."
(at end)
BS: "Wooh! Cheers, thank you."
PH: "How do I get rid of these fucking photographers? They're getting
on me tits. C'mon, fuck off the lot of ya."
UK punter #2: "Absolutely!" (DPA)
PH: (mumbling) "Fuck, I didn't say that, baldie..."
UK punter #2: "Barney, fuck them off, fuck them all off" (DPA)
BS: "I like (them) to take photgraphs of me, I don't mind."
UK punter #2: "Manchester, na na na, Manchester..." (DPA)
PH: "Ready, Phil?"
UK punter #2" "na na na..." (DPA)
Transmission
BS: "'ank you! Cheers, thanks a lot. Is everyone having a good time
here? It's a beautiful setting, it really is. (US punter: "Yeah dude")
I wish I lived here. It sure beats Manchester."
(all comments from the DPA version)
US punter: "A bit warmer..."
BS: "Has anyone been there? Has anybody been to Manchester?"
UK punter #1: "I live there, lad."
BS: "Was that a yes or was that a no?"
UK punter #2: "Manchester...wank wank wank!"
BS: "And did you like it? [shouts of both 'Yes' and 'No'...mixed with no?
That's the right answer. We've got a good football team, though."
Hey_Now_What_You_Doing
BS: "This is Hey Now What You Doing, off the new album."
punter: "Fuck off!" (DPA)
BS: "Fantastic(?), thank you!"
Krafty
BS: "Okay, this is another one off our new album, another one! All
of this starts...get over it, it's called Krafty."
Synth washes at the point where we usually hear Hooky's bass, which
appears to have conked out again.
Encoding glitch (or watermark) at 3:53. (DPA)
BS: "Cheers, thank you." Hooky strums a bit of bass.
Jetstream
Third new one in a row. The intro (to 0:31) sounds like it was taken
from a different recording!
BS: "Another new track off our album! Another one! This is Jetstream."
(present on AK version, but DPA version is cut, and another version was used
to patch it)
BS: "Thank you."
Girl shouts for "Confusion" again (AK version).
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Now we're gonna play a dance tune. Unfortunately, I cannot dance
at all because I've torn a ligament in my foot, so you'll have to do
the dancing for us. (scream, AK) Peter here is a bad hand at ballet
(UK punter: "c'mon Hooky lad", DPA) Phil on here has been personally
trained by Michael Jackson, so I'm hoping they're gonna cover for me
tonight. This is Bizarre Love Triangle."
Audience singalong in effect.
BS: "Thank you."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "All right, you don't have to dance to this one, though I suppose
you could if you wanted to."
PH: "This one's for you David, fuck you."
The starting bass is a bit odd, almost like the Cure's Boys Don't Cry.
Another glitch at 0:32.
PH: (at 2:00) "C'mon, Steve!" (at 3:07) "Here we go!".
BS: "Cheers, thank you, thank you!"
punter: "Thank you, God."
Crystal
BS: "Okay, this is Crystal."
PH: "It's nice isn't it, atmosphereic."
Sound of guitar lead getting unplugged.
Lots of cheers after this one.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, we can only play for an hour, unfortunately or fortunately
depending on which way you're looking at it. And yy foot is hurting man.
Eh..em....We're gonna play Blue Monday, I believe."
Features Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" vocals at the
start, as well as somewhat interesting instrumentation.
BS: "Thank you. I'm sorry we weren't more animated, but that's life.
Thank you very much." Hooky closes out the set with a slow version of
the BM bass riff.
On the AK version, the annoying chick that yelled for "Confusion",
starts saying, "I'm such a fucking..." at the 5:30 mark. At the
end she says, "What, is this show over! ...Nine Inch Nails is next,
it'll be right here. All right, Nine Inch Nails..."
PH: "Good night, thank you, God Bless!"
Haha, somebody calls her "bitch" at the very end.
From Drew C's writeup for his bootleg:
From venue to DAD in less than 24 hours, I present to you the world's
The band were in terrific form last night, full of vim and vigor. Quite
talkative too, lots of joking around by Bernard punctuated by the
occasional rimshot (!) from Steve. And of course we can't forget that
Viking bass god Hooky, as marvelous as ever. I tended to tracksplit on
the song intros by Barney, so you'll find most of the banter at the ends
of the songs.
Some notables:
Steve kicked off Hey Now What You Doing too fast, causing Barney to
remark afterwards that it was the "punk version" - and that it must
have been because of all the crystal meth and hotel porn Steve was
addicted to. Hilarious. Preview it here:
http://www.new-order.net/no/audio/lv/BarneySays/050503-Steves_on_crystal_meth.mp3
Hooky dedicated Transmission to Joe Shanahan, owner of the Metro/Smart
Bar/Double Door, because "because he makes Chicago feel like home for me".
After Transmission, Barney says that he's going to get his foot amputated
tomorrow, and that Hooky was kind enough to do it with one of his bass
strings (Barney had hurt his foot onstage a few days ago and couldn't
dance around as much as he wanted to).
There are loads more quips, I'll let you discover them yourselves when
you listen ;)
Unfortunately due to equipment mishaps I missed the first 30sec-1min or
so of Love Vigilantes, including Barney's intro stating he'd hurt his foot
surfing in Los Angeles when it was bitten by a shark, hehe... that's why
it fades in rather than a cold start. There's also what sounds like a
skip, if that's the right word, 20 seconds into Love Vigilantes -
that's the spot where I got bumped while my finger was resting on the
mic switch, causing it to switch off and on. I edited out the gap this
caused, but unfortunately you can hear it as a skip instead. Oh well.
Also, my setup doesn't have a strong enough attenuator at the preamp
feed, so there are a few spots where it's overloading (even though I'd
manually adjusted the levels down enough). It's not really enough to
warrant mention, but I thought I would anyway. So there you go... Hope
you enjoy it as much as I did - it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen!
Transcription
Love_Vigilantes
Faded up on Drew's recording. It's reported (as above) that Barney said
he had hurt his foot surfing in LA when it was bitten by a shark. And
the aforementioned skip is there.
BS: "Ah, thank you."
BS: "Listen, that little song, it was originally, uh, written about
the war in Vietnam. Apart from getting bitten by sharks...it's not
commonly known this, but I once served in Vietnam [cymbal crash from
Steve] as a photographer, and I got wounded in the foot here which is
why I'm limping tonight. The next song is off our last album, which
is called "Get Ready", which is still available in the shops (cheers)
and it's Crystal.
Cheers and woos here.
BS: "Thank you!"
BS: "It's been a long time since we played in Chicago. Too long!
It's these miserable bastards who won't play here. It was a joke!
We love Chicago because it reminds us of Manchester. Especially
as cold like it is today...it's lovely and cold compared to LA.
To be in Chicago upon a cold day.
Regret
BS: "This is Regret."
BS: "Cheers, thank you. We're doing our best, we're doing our best
in the circumstances that we're under. It's all that we can do,
innit. Okay, this is uh, a track off our our new album, the album is
called "Waiting For The Sirens' Call". I'm sure you all know that,
anyway, but if any way ... that hasn't gotten it ... It's pretty good
really. This is called Hey_Now_What_You__Doing.
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "You [unintelligible], it was a bit bloody fast that, Steve.
I don't know if Phil's going to be in the hospital tonight. Hey,
that was Hey Now What You Doing, the punk version. Sorry, Steve
our drummer is just sitting with the crystal meth and speed and all
that stuff there, we tried to talk him out of it but he won't listen
to us [cymbal crash] and hotel poronography as well [another cymbal
crash]. I see you've cleaned up. That was a joke, I'm only joking.
Okay, ah, next song...is Krafty, which of course is our new single,
I think."
BS: "Cheers, thank you. That's a brilliant and happy song. I don't
mind playing it(?)"
Transmission
PH: "Uh, I'd like to dedicate this one to Joe Shanahan because he
makes Chicago feel like home for me. I'm very greateful for that.
And to the rest of the boys. Hit it, Phil!"
Somebody laughs during the second verse.
True_Faith
BS: "Thank you. That of course is a Joy Division song called
Transmission. [Barney's voice is cracking here] I'm running out
of breath, has anyone got any? OK, that's enough of that rock shit,
we want you all to start dancing now. We're gonna play a dance tune.
Unfortunately, I can't dance because of my foot. Actually, I've got
to have it amputated tomorrow. Hooky's kindly offered to do it for me.
[cymbal crash] So knock me on the anesthetic tonight and eh, he's gonna
cut it off with one of...one of his bass strings. Enough of my yacking,
this is True Faith.
This features the "taking drugs with me" lyric.
BS: "Thank you. Is everybody enjoying themselves as much as we are?
Thank you. We do appreciate it."
Run_Wild
The band tunes a bit.
BS: "Okay, we're gonna tune the situation down a little bit and play
a song...slow song, it's a...it's a good song off the last album, it's
called Run Wild."
Some chatter during the song.
BS: "Thank you, thank you. Wooh! Drinks are on me, if you all go
to the bar now, you'll get a free drink on me. The drinks are free."
PH: "You told me that 28 years ago and you never paid for it..."
BS: "Including you, Hooky."
Jetstream
BS: "Okay, we're gonna leap forward a couple of years in time to our
current album and this is Jetstream.
BS: "Thank you! Nice little touch by Philip at the end there, do it
again, Phil. [he does] Don't get ideas upon the stage. Sacked!
That's a good fun song, we're still all getting happier now as we're
getting older [mumbled]...I'm still in my 20s, Hooky's in his 30s,
Steve's an old-timer. [cymbal crash]"
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Okay, back to the new album, we're gonna play, eh, my favorite
track which of course means it's the best track of the album, and it's
called Waiting For The Sirens' Call.
BS: "Thank you." (Hooky strums bass)
BS: "Oakley dokley, this is Bizarre_Love_Triangle."
BS: "We're getting pretty into it [mumble]. Cheers, thank you. Hooky's
looking a bit slutty, you see the state of his hair. That cut [referring
to Hooky's hair], you look like a bloody girl... that's the difference these
days."
PH: "Thank you very much. Bet you say that to all the boys, don't you?"
BS: "Okay, we...we're gonna play Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart."
Hooky mumbles something and then shouts "yeah", and yells during the bridge
in the usual manner that he does during latterday performances of this track.
BS: "Thank you. ...as well."
PH: "I think old Ian Curtis helped us ... [unintelligible]."
BS: "Unfortunately, though we're all having [a great time] this is our
last song (boos). C'mon, you only paid about 5 dollars to get in, what
do you expect? Bleedin' Michael Jackson, y'know? That was a joke. All
right, it's the last one, but it's a good one and John, I need to...the
lights on a little bit so I can see what I'm playing. It's called
Tempatation."
BS: "Thank you Chicago! As always, you've been one of the best audiences
in the world and I really do mean that. Chicago is our second home, and...
I'd like to thank these guys who've come all from England. The Vikings.
[referring to the front row.] I don't know why they do that unless they're
fooking nuts. But uh, thanks everyone and we'll see everyone in 20 years!
That was a joke."
New Order leave the stage. And then come back.
BS: "Thank you. [mutters to soundman] If you tune the guitar... Right,
okay, we added an encore and you got a choice of two songs, and we want
you to decide which songs we play. The choices are Atmosphere and Your
Silent Face. Who wants Atmosphere? (cheers) Who wants Your Silent Face?
(louder cheers) We'll play both of them. Do you want us to play both?
All right, it'll cost you extra, you can pay me on the way out, and then
free drinks like I mentioned before."
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, let's start with Atmosphere."
PH: "Well, here we go. This is where I say to Phil 1-2-3-4."
(afterwards)
BS: "Thank you! Thank you. That was, erm, a very beautiful song by Joy
Division, and now we're going to play a very beautiful song by New Order,
if I can find my melodica."
punter #1: "We love you, Bernard"
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Thank you!" Hooky ends it with a bass solo. "Okay".
BS: "All right. All right. Thinking all it could be and should be. Is
it over boys? Thank you very much. You've been a...you've been an absolutely
fantastic audience in Chicago. You know you get this bullshit all the time,
we been to every town, but we want you to know that (it's) no bullshit, and
that we really really mean it, and that we're gonna finish tonight with
Blue_Monday.
This version also features Kylie's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head"
samples.
punter: "Wow!" Tape fades out.
A total of two audience masters, one from a 'boldcaptain'
(taped with CSB's > Sony M1 DAT) and the other from DM1993
(Sony ECM-717 > TC-D8). Both versions were seeded to DIME.
The complete video, as aired on Australian TV, has also surfaced.
At one point this was considered for release, but never was
officially put out.
intro music is a Kraftwerk tune into an updating-sounding
Ennio Moricone track.
The bc version misses out on this.
announcer: "C'mon world, gotta welcome them now!"
BS: "C'mon, we want a better welcome than that! It's been about 20 years
since we've played here, but we are on time. Absolutely on time, and feeling
fine."
Mic being scraped around as it was being adjusted (boldcaptain version)
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Hello, New York. We are New Order...as if you didn't know. And we're
gonna start tonight with a song, it a good ol' redneck song, it's called
Love Vigilantes."
Bernard calls out "C'mon" during the middle of this to get the fans
worked up...
BS: "Wooh! Thank you! That song is about Vietnam. I got shot in
the foot, and that's why I can't dance around too much [Hooky twang
bass] with my sore foot."
Crystal
BS: "However, the next song we're gonna play is off our last album and
it's called, eh, Crystal."
Silence in bc version between 1:22-1:32.
BS: "'k you! Wooh! Thank you. Okay, is everyone having a good time?
(cheers)
Regret
BS: "Whew, don't get too excited. We're gonna play Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Whoo! Black power."
BS: "Thanks. At this stage I'd like to introduce Phil Cunningham, our
new guitarist. And keyboard programming, as you can see by the...rack
of technology right behind him. His brain is bigger than it looks.
And you work all that stuff, Phil?"
Hey_Now_What_Youre_Doing
BS: "We're gonna do ehh...we're starting to eh...a grand marathon of tracks
off our new album, right. It's obvious that we want you buy the album, that's
why we're here. Track's called 'Hey Now What You're Doing'.
(at end)
BS: "Thank you." A bit of a pause between songs, where you can hear cheering
and call-outs.
Krafty
BS: "Okay, now my guitar's in tune, it must have been me. Hey, the next one
is...". The last sentence is off-mic, can't be heard at all on the DM93
but can be faintly heard on bc's.
PH: "All right, kids."
Countup ("1-2-3-4" between verse and chorus), only heard on the bc
version.
BS: "Thank you! Just gotta tune up, won't be a sec."
Somebody calls for '1963' a couple of times. (DM93)
Hooky cackles.
PH: "It's the ugliest fucking front row I've ever seen in my life.
I feel perfectly at home."
Transmission
BS: "Okay, this is a song by Joy Division, it's called Transmission.
Really fast version of it."
BS: "Thank you. Running out of breath, has anyone got any... uhhh...
When you get to your mid-20s, you just can't do anything. So, erm,
that was hard, that was where we started out, as a rock band all
those years ago, in like 1978, and eh, we're gonna take it to the
mid-80s with a song called True_Faith."
BS: "We need a bit of your technology, Phil. We need you to twirl
those knobs..."
BS: "Thank you. Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. We always
have a bit...a little bit trouble getting the end of that song right,
but Steve gave us a very big hint at the end on his drums there
[cymbal crash] and we got it right."
Run_Wild
BS: "Okay, all that fun now, we're gonna chill things out a little bit
with, eh, a pretty soulful song off our last album. It's the last track
off the last album, it's called Run Wild."
Intro is still a bit shaky.
After the first verse:
BS: "Turn the strings up, Di(?)!" (Dian Barton)
BS: "Thank you. Thanks for being so sympathetic with a song that isn't
designed for banging heads together. But nevertheless, it's an important
song."
Jetstream
Now, eh, the next, eh, start, the next part of the set, I'd like to
introduce Ana Matronic from the Scissor Sisters, I hope she's coming
from this side of the stage. Ana...she's a hometown girl, all the
way from New York City."
AM: "Long communte, very long communte."
BS: "She's got an english heart though."
AM; "Ha ha ha."
BS: "And, eh, this is a song that's we think's gonna be our next
single, it's called Jetstream."
(at end)
BS: "'k you! Thank you, Ana, it's been only a pleasure...having you.
AM: "Thank you!"
BS: "No, thank you!"
AM: "Let's hear it for New Order! Fuck..."
BS: "She's fucking great, man, she's great. Whooh. All right, do
you want us to play some more, or do you want us to fuck off. Oh, be
indifferent, eh, be indifferent. All right, if you want us to fuck
off, we'll play some more, if you want us to play some more, we'll
fuck off. We'll show you what indifference is, we're from Manchester,
home of cunts. I'm joking of course, it's my dry English sense of humor.
And, eh, I just need to change guitar. 330 please. C'mon man you got
to be having a good time tonight! We are, and I'm not allowed to, the
doctor says I'm not allowed to."
(the last bit was obviously left off of the broadcast)
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Okay, what we're gonna play next is another track off our new
album, and it's the title track, and it's called 'Waiting For The
Sirens Call'".
(at end)
BS: "'k you. Cheers. Thanks a lot! I want to be(?)...back after
the show please. All you're doing is the video cameras.
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, the next song is a real personal challenge for me because
I was surfing when we played in LA, and, erm, my buddy fell of his
surfboard, and got attacked by a shark. I've known him for a very long
time, and I rescued him, but the shark bit me in the foot, so I'm can't
dance very well [cymbal crash]. My buddy escaped completely uninjured,
but that's the sort of guy that I am. Don't want a medal, just a bit of
sympathy. [At this point everyone "Awwws"] Anyway, this is Bizarre Love
Triangle."
Of course, the above is complete rubbish, which I think everybody knew.
BS: "Thank you. [syndrum] Is there a doctor in the house?"
[Phil plays a keyboard line]
PH: "Ok, du du du [hums some melody, clears his throat, and then cough]
You're ready, Bernard?
BS: "Don't [something] again, the small string, Jerry."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "And now it's a good old-fashioned sing-along. We have a lot of
these up north."
PH: "1-2-3-4!"
During the "Love Will Tear Us Apart" chorus, Bernard yells "Faster!"
twice. Later, he shouts, "2-3-4!".
And there's a point where he sounds like MES singing one of the verses,
very, very odd.
BS: "Thank you very much, that was eh, Love Will Tear Apart Us, crossed
with Anarchy In The UK. All right, you said 3 more songs after."
The last sentence sounds garbled...not 100% of the wording or if Barney
meant for that to be heard.
Temptation
BS: "Guess that was a solo song called Love Will Tear Us Apart. And this
is Temptation."
Nothing happens.
BS: "And this is Temptation." The track starts.
BS: "Thank you very much. According to my list, that's it.
Who wants this guitar? Spoilsport. [referring to the roadie who
takes his guitar off him] It's been great playing New York again,
hopefully we'll return...me a sign, and if you clap loud enough,
we might come back in five minutes."
(encore)
BS: "I've got...whoa...yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. That means I'm optimistic
like Michael Jackson, because he always does that and he's gonna fucking
losing it. (sotto voce) Right, Atmosphere. Thank you very much."
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Eh, Since it's been, eh, twenty-five years since, ehm, our original
lead singer, Ian Curtis, died, we're gonna fu...we're gonna do two
Joy Division songs to start our encore. This is 'She's Lost Control',
one-two-three-four, two-three-two-four two-three...that's about right.
How's Hooky on the bass?"
Hooky helps out during the chorus.
BS: "Thank you very much. It's been quite some time since we played
that song [yeah, about 6 days before]. Thank you. I told you about
my sore foot...aww [something] man, it's killing me. Ian...Ian might
have died, but bloody hell, he didn't have to live with this."
PH: "You ready for all your box of Trix? Ha ha."
BS: "I don't get legendary status, do I, because I got a sore fucking
foot."
Hooky laughs.
BS: "And getting laughed at."
Atmosphere
PH: "One, two, three, four."
BS: "Thank you. For some strange reason, my mic's distorting...
out of phase, out there...but if it's OK, lets leave it."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Hey, what the hell...this is Blue Monday, and we use a vocoder,
so just pretend I'm a vocoder."
Lots of Kylie mixed in. Can't get it out of my head.
BS: "Thank you, New York. Good night, you've been a great audience!"
Hooky outros with the BM bassline along with the synth effects.
Good stuff.
Captured for immortality by none other than ATR.
BS: "Hello, Spain. Viva Espana. Que pasa. I'm sorry it's
so long since we last played here. But Peter our bass player
got a bad case of diarrhea and didn't wanna come back."
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Okay, we're gonna start the set tonight with a song called
Love Vigilantes."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, cheers."
BS: "Okay, that was an old one. Don't know how old, but it was gold."
Crystal
BS: "Okay, erm...we're st...gonna play the first track of an album
we've been told today that none of you like herein Spain...so fuck you!
This is Crystal."
(at end)
BS: "Ya, thank you!"
Punter calls for SC.
Shouts
PH: "A few bum notes, so it must be you bastards in Blackburn putting me off.
Why can't you keep in the mountain(?) end where you belong?"
[can't quite make out the latter part]
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Gee, it's hot in Spain. It's even hotter than Manchester.
Is there anyone there that knows how to tune a guitar up?"
Hey_Now_What_You_Doing
BS: "You don't care if my guitar's in tune, do you? If you don't,
I don't. Anyway, here's..."
BS: "Okay, this is Hey Now, What You're Doing off our new album."
(at conclusion)
BS: "Thank you! Thank you."
BS: "Thank you. I know this is a cliche, but is everybody having a good
time? [cheers] Well, good."
punter: "Some Joy Division!"
Krafty
BS: "Okay, we're going to play another track off our most recent album,
I believe it's called 'Waiting For The Sirens' Call', alright, you
kids are...[something] it's called Krafty."
BS: "Thank you, thank you."
Shouts near the taper of 'Nuorder'...the usual.
PH: "Alright. Gary, you out there? We're running out of clothes
up here mate, you better send some quick. All right, this one's
for you, who's ever getting married, good luck to you."
Transmission
BS: "Okay, this is Transmission by Joy Division which is really us."
BS: "Cheers, thanks a lot."
Run_Wild
BS: "Calm down, calm down. If you talk all at once, I can't understand
what you're saying. Okay, what we're going to do right now, right here
right now is chill things out a little bit with a song off the album
you all hate, so I've been told by journalists in Spain, obviously
wasting my breath. This is Run Wild, is it? Yes it is, yes it is."
After less than a minute, the rendition breaks down.
BS: "I'm sorry, my assistant guitarist fucked up. If you do that again,
you're sacked!"
[punter asks Alex for water]
PH: "Tell him to fuck off, Phil. I got yer back mate. Fuck off!"
BS: "Can't get any, can't get any [quality] help these days. It's in....
it's in B flat."
They restart the song, and this time make it all the way through.
BS: "'Q. Well, if you don't like that, there's something wrong with
you. Or alternatively, there's something wrong with me. Which, of
course there is, if you're going to get philosophical about it, there's
something wrong with all of us, isn't there? For example, my friend
here Phil here has a very small penis, but he doesn't like people to
know about it. And his mate over there, Chris, can't get an erection,
and he really doesn't want...people to know about it, isn't that right,
Chris? Surrections." [cymbal crash, courtesy of Steve]
Jetstream
BS: "All right, we'll get on with it, enough of my chit-chat! This is
Jetstream off the new album."
PH: "Yeah."
BS: "Thank you, Jerry could you put a little bit extra on his guitar, please.
Thank you, we're gonna play another track off our new album, obviously
we want you to go out and buy it. You obviously all bought it, so don't
buy it again."
[punter: Alright, is that taping?]
BS: "If you do, if you go into a small disc...and attempt to mention
my name at the record shop..."
BS: "Would you just go over..." [probably talking
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "This is again off our new album, another one, another one. This is
'Waiting For The Sirens' Call', the title track."
BS: "Thank you."
A bit of a long pause between tracks.
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "That's another good song, if I do say so myself. Okay, we've bored
the ass of you with new songs and old songs. But now we're going to start
playing everybody's favorites because we are whores. And let's face it,
it's been a long time since we've played in Barcelona. [person near
the taper shouts something out]. So as an audience, I think you deserve
it. And we're gonna start with Bizarre Love Triangle."
Nice ending, until somebody drops their bass.
BS: "Thank you, excuse the set where we all get our breath...we're getting
on a bit, you know."
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
The backing vocals (Dawn Zee?) are really loud in the mix.
PH: (during bridge) "Here we go! Here we go! Oh, oh, oh, owww..."
BS: "Muchas gracias."
some keyboards.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "Does you good sometimes to fucking jet, you know what I mean?
You don't want to make a cunt of yourself there. Sorry darling.
Swore there. Sorry, baby. My daughter's there. She doesn't know
to swear. This is for all of you."
Usual, "C'mon Steve" from Hooky.
BS: "I'm not sure it was there, Hooky."
PH: "Anyway, I want to dedicate this one to Iggy Pop, because I fucking
love him."
Temptation
BS: "Okay, I told you we were going to give you some classics. You've
heard every classic in the book tonight. Well, here's another one. It's
called Temptation."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, you've been a fantastic audience. It's really great to
play in Spain again, thank you good night!"
A couple of syndrum hits.
Blue_Monday
A quite rare version without an introduction from Bernard!
Has the Kylie samples, of course.
BS: "Cheers, thank you very much, Barcelona. Y viva Espana."
Taped by a "Stutter" using SBC M570 mics into a Nomad Jukebox 3, just
in front of the soundboard and posted to DIME>
Taper Comments:
Transcription
Some audience chatter (in Portugese) at start. Morris drops in a drum
fill.
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Hello, Portugal. [house keyboard plonking] Long day for
Christopher Columbus. We're New Order. On my left, I've got
Peter Hook, otherwise known as Hooky. "
PH: "One two. Hello, everybody."
BS: "On my right, I've got filthy Phil, Phil Cunningham, Phil Cunningham."
[guitar riff]
BS: "Right behind me, I've got Stephen Paul David Morris. [cymbal crash].
Or as we call him, Boris Morris. [another cymbal crash]"
BS: "Okay, This is Love Vigilantes. A bit brighter on the voice, Jerry."
You can hear the sound of Velcro getting pulled at the end. This is
endemic to HD-based recorders, since they are often held in protective
cases with Velcro lateches.
BS: "Thank you. Jerry, can you hockey[?] once in a while, can you move
this microphone?"
Crystal
BS: "Is everyone having a good festival? Well, all right, we'll soon put
a stop to all than then. We're gonna play a song off our, er, last album,
called Get Ready...and...just a minute, just a minute. This is called
Crystal."
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
Some strumming here.
BS: "Anyone got any good micstands, you'd think at a festival like this,
they don't get wobble like this. Just give us a second while we tune up,
please. Or don't you care? Go home without detention. Call his name."
I don't get what Bernard is on about with the "detention" comment,
unless he just excused the audience.
Regret
BS: "Okay, I think we can safely say we're in tune now, so this is
Regret."
Near the end, somebody with what sounds like an Irish brogue says
"There ya go...". There's some chattering afterwards, would be good
to get a translation.
BS: "Jerry, you're keeping in side fills, you're blasting 'im man.
Hey_Now_What_You_Doing
BS: "Okay, that was an old but a goldie, we're gonna play a newie that's
very bluey...it's called, eh, "Road To Ruin".
Interesting in that Bernard uses the working title.
A silence between songs, at least before
Krafty
BS: "Alright, this is Krafty."
I almost jumped out of my seat when I first heard the following.
Bernard sings, "We've got violence, wars, and killing two", starts in on
the next line, and then all OF A SUDDEN screams "SHRUNK DOWN IN A TWO FOOT
TUBE. He then screws up, skips a verse on the autocue and sings "I've heard
the world is a beautiful place, and then shouts out "WITH VIOLENCE WARS
AND THE HUMAN RACE."
OH THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO BE, AND THIS IS WHAT WHAT I WANT TO DO.
The chorus is also screamed as well...for this verse and the next.
All this confirms that there's prerecorded harmony/backing vocals.
The taper records that Bernard's antics infuriated Hooky, and there was a
small fight on stage.
Transmission
BS: "Okay, this is Transmission."
A few stereo shifts as the taper moves around.
A couple of quick edits at this point.
Run_Wild
BS: "Okay, this is Run Wild."
False start after the intro bit.
BS: "All right, we'll try...Phil, we'll try that again." [Bernard
mutters something about how it might have been his fault].
Somebody mistakenly identifies this as 'Slow Jam'.
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Okay, she's lost control." While he says this, Phil plays a
keyboard riff that wouldn't be out of place in a Madonna song.
There's the sound of somebody unwrapping something during the
bass intro.
BS: "Thank you!"
BS: "Okay, take you out of Joy Division now. No. Oh, we have a
winner here, don't we? Parlez vous Ingles? Nah? Parlez vous Mancunian?
Manchester United? [audience yells affirmatively] Oh yeah, you understand
that, don't you? Because we whipped your fucking ass."
Play nice, Barney.
Waititng_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Okay this is, er, the title track of our next, our new...new album,
which is called Waiting For The Sirens Call, also the album is called
Waiting For The Sirens Call, please go out and buy it, that is why we're
here tonight. This is called 'promotion'."
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "Just turn the bass and snare down a bit, Jerry, we need that down."
[not sure on wording on last part, it's mumbled]
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, from guitar-orientated rock to twat-orientated dance music. This
is Bizarre Love Triangle. Turn the fucking lights off."
Interesting ending with the keyboard bits.
BS: "Jerry, I'm on the monitors now. Jerry, I'm on the wedges, the pack
has fallen apart. Whoa, life in the real world suddenly. Hope you're
enjoying it."
Phil plays tentative house piano.
BS: "Right. Hello, everyone. I've lost my earphones, and suddenly I'm
in a festival with 30,000 Portugese people. All of 'em Manchester United
fans. Oh sorry, I'm wrong, there's one person that's booing here in the
front. He's obviously a Liverpool fan."
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith."
What sound like people around the taper have a conversation throughout the
introduction.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
More synth chords...
PH: "This one's for you, uh, with the t-shirt, because you've been
waving at me. Do you know what it is? Get ready, Bernard."
Guitar stuffming.
PH: "You OK? For you, yeah you!"
Bernard loudly yells "C'mon" during the chorus.
BS: "Cheers, thank you! That should be the end of our set, obviously.
But we're in Portugal, we're gonna chip in one more for free."
Temptation
BS: "Oi! Okay, this is Temptation."
More yelling from Bernard (the "last time" line).
BS: "Thank you! We've warmed you up for the end, and we've warmed up
ourselves in the process. Thank you, goodnight!"
There's about two minutes on this recording between the main set and
the inevitable encore.
PH?: "Hey hey"
Atmosphere
Phil plays the Atmosphere chimes as a bit of a teaser.
BS: "You won us over. We never normally play encores, but we'll make
an exception tonight (he stumbles over the word 'tonight'). Erm, since
it's been 25 years, erm, since the death of Ian Curtis, we're playing
a few Joy Division songs tonight. So this is the last of those and
it's called Atmosphere."
The usual sorts of whistles (both from the audience and Bernard)...
BS: "Thank you. God bless you, Ian. You should be fucking here now,
man."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, we know you're all disco bunnies at heart. And there's one
song that we've not played yet. It's our favorite song to play, and I
never get tired of playing it. [machine beats start up] It's called
FUCKING Blue Monday."
Another synthy ending, like BLT.
BS: "Cheers! Thank you! The drinks are on me. You've been a great
audience. See you again soon, hopefully. Bye bye!"
Ends with the house PA going on playing an old show tune, of all
things.
From really clear audience DAT recording, so clear it captures
Annoying German announcer at start doing a call-and-response
tease with the band name. The video footage shows that he's
a blonde guy, figures.
Full recording of new intro tape (Ennio Morricone's "For A Few Dollars
More"), often mistaken (by yours truly as well!) as being "The Good,
The Bad, & The Ugly"). This would appear hereafter throughout the
remaining 2005-6 dates.
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Hello. Mein Damen und Herren. Wir sind New Order. And eh...
Das is Your Silent Face."
Bernard is inexplicibly wearing a shirt reading "Muhammad Ali" on
the back. A few errors with the melodica playing.
Crystal
BS: "Well, thank you. I fear we're just about to pull that one off,
just about. [guitar] Okay, is everyone having a good festival
so far? Ya von, mein herr. Okay, we're gonna, eh play a song off our
last album, not our more recent one, the last album was called Get
Ready, and this is Crystal."
PH: "Andy, would you turn this fucking light off here or what?
Thank you."
Poor Andy Liddle.
Even more inexplicibly, Hooky is wearing a shirt reading "RUN-DMC".
Between verses, we get one of the piercing whistles Bernard is
(in)famous for. Internal edit in webcast.
BS: "Thank you! Cheers, thanks a lot. Jerry, the guitar's come down
a litle bit too much. Topline synths are a bit too loud, the piano...
[some noodling] Damien, I need the 330, please."
He goes sidestage to swap guitars.
Regret
Bernard comes back to the mic with his Gibson 330.
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
(after)
BS: "Yoooo! Damien, I'm going to stay with this guitar. Jerry, can you
turn down the dB's a little bit off the track."
BS: "Is everybody staying here tomorrow? You're not going to be here
tomorrow? Well, it's going to rain. Sorry."
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "I'm ready, is everyone else ready? And We're ready. This is Waiting
For The Siren's Call."
BS: "Cheers. Glad you liked that, we put quite a bit of work into it."
Jetstream
BS: "Okay, eh, we're gonna play Jetstream next."
BS: "Thank you!"
Love_Vigilantes
Melodica teaser.
BS: "This is Love Vigilantes"
(in strained rockist voice...)
BS: "Aww right, this is Love Vigilantes!"
(at end)
BS: "A classic(?) if I ever heard one. That was about the Vietnam War.
And my part in it."
Transmission
BS: "Thank you. That was Transmission by Joy Division. Whoo!
Which of course, was us."
BS: "Just chill out for a minute while we have a drink, right?
It's cold, isn't it? Even for us from England, this is cold. My
heart bleeds for you all in your tents tonight, must be fucking
freezing in those tents. But bet there's a few nice birds out there,
isn't there."
PH: "Doing loads of shagging then."
BS: "That's why I'm in Europe."
Run_Wild
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play a very sensitive song off of, erm, Get Ready.
It's called Run Wild."
Which they play.
BS: "And if that doesn't touch your soul, you ain't got one."
Some audience member yells out "Geeve it to meee!". (DAT version)
Hey_Now_What_You_Doing
BS: "Okay, this is "Road To Ruin".
Another one yells out "New Order rocks."
Krafty
BS: "Okay, well, another...another new song! We're playing all the
new songs for you, right, tonight. We're playing the whole new album.
Here's Krafty."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, we've bored the ass off of you with the new ones, now we're
gonna play some hoary chestnuts that we know you fucking love because
you like them. Thank you very much Damien for your lev... [can't make
out last word]."
BS: "Eh, right, this is...is Bizarre Love Triangle."
A new bit where Bernard repeats "Every time" a few times.
BS: "Wow, thank you. Woo! Thought you'd like that one. So fucking
predictable. Even more predictable than we are."
True_Faith
BS: "If you liked that one, you'll like this one. It's called
True Fucking Faith."
Another internal edit in webcam version.
BS: "Thank you."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Puntess cries out for "Blue Monday".
PH: "I want to dedicate this one to Sku Req(?), cuz I knew him when he
was nothing, and he's still fucking nothing."
Somebody says "Arsehor" in reaction.
BS: "This is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
Big ending on this one, with quite a bit of noodling.
More shouting for Blue Monday. They really love their Blauer Montag in
Deutschland.
BS: "Thank you. I can't understand what you're saying if you all talk
at the same time.
Temptation
BS: "This is Temptation."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, good night. Cheers, thanks a lot."
Encore break of about a minute and a half follows.
The following quip can be heard:
"We don't want a blue Saturday, we want a Blue Monday."
Blue_Monday
BS: "It's Blue Monday"
PH: "This one's for you Alex. Your faith inspires me every day."
Hooky could also be saying "face" or "fame", hard to tell.
I bet it's "face".
Not the Kylie version, but there's a nice little keyboard riff before
the Kraftwerk choral sample.
BS: "Cheers, thanks a lot, bye bye."
Soundcheck
The Southside broadcast has a bit of the soundcheck where you can hear
New Order soundchecking "Warsaw". This is followed by somebody going
"hey, hey two two...wasn't like that at fuckin' Glastonbury"...and
"the whole thing is..." "fucking, the whole stage is fuckin' [?]...
Phil's is particularly nasty..." "everything, the buzz is coming
off of everything, Wes..." and similar desultory comments regarding
the sound.
Writeup courtesy of the only known native HD capture of a New Order perofrmance.
(1080i H.264). Contains only five songs (Crystal, Krafty, True Faith, LWTUA, and
Blue Monday).
Crystal
BS: "Okay, we're going to start the set tonight with a track off er...
Get Ready, called Crystal."
(at end)
BS: "Yeah!"
Krafty
BS: "This is Krafty...Andy..." (faded out in broadcast)
[perhaps referring to Liddle...but it's outdoors?]
True_Faith
BS: "True Faith...and we want you all to sing on the chorus. I know it's
real corny, but fuck it, let's...let's be corny for once."
BS: "'k you!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Bernard completely messes up the first line, singing "Routine bites hard,
resentment runs low" instead of "ambitions are low"...which of course causes
him to mess up the second line as he's thrown himself off track.
He "2-3-4's" after the first chorus.
Hooky stands on the drum pedestal during the bridge.
The 'Cmon' count = 4.
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, this is Blauer Montag."
Features deliciously horrid dancing at the start, as well as Kylie bits during
the intro.
Bernard giggles through singing the "ship in the harbor" line, maybe in reaction
to Phil doing a little jig, but more likely, somebody throwing a beach ball up
on stage. While the ending credits roll, Hooky can be seeing heading said ball
and then kicking it back to the audience.
Old Blue reports:
"I think [Alan Wise] has been taking note of your DAD seeds, the intro
went something along the lines of "Some people like skiffle, some like
blues, some like surf rock but here's a band that covers it all, New
Order"
And here's what he said.
AW: "Hey, it's quite jolly out there, innit? Now, some people like
skiffle music, some like folk, some like jazz, and some like us like
R&B. The trick is to get somebody that plays everything, isn't it.
We think we've found that for you because we got a band here that likes
to please and play everything for you. Welcome, if you will, the
Orders!"
BS: "Oh...if you(?) can turn up the [can't make out]"
A pity this didn't make the XFM recording.
Gig writeup taken from various sources, mostly from the XFM recording.
BS: "Hope we can do, eh, justice to your enthusiasm. I don't believe
in sponsorship, but I'd like to thank the Clear Channel and O2 for making
this all possible. (some folks boo at the mention of the sponsors)
Whoa! And Adidas of course."
Morris follows with a "punchline" cymbal crash at the mention of
Adidas. Bernard was decked out in Adidas through much of the '05
dates, you see.
Crystal
BS: "Okay we're gonna start the proceedings tonight with a little song
called Crystal."
Dawn Zee does live backing vocals here.
BS: "Whoa, thank you, thank you, cheers. Whoo. And sorry about the
rain, we must have brought it down from Manchester with us."
Chants of "New Order, New Order" throughout.
PH: "Just want to say happy birthday to Lauren, darling, happy 14th
birthday. Many of them, love."
Regret follows. Unusually for this tour, it's not introduced!
BS: "Thank you. [replying to the incessant chanting] C'mon, you got
to think of a better tune than that. Even we can."
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Okay, this is, eh, Krafty. No it's not, no it's not, no it's not,
hang on! I got it wrong, hang on. This is Love Vigilantes."
Bernard flubs a note on the melodica intro.
(at end)
BS: "Yeah! Whoop. Roger, no one's panicking...what's...what's happening
mate? All right, don't worry, don't worry, let's stay cool, let's stay
cool."
It appears that the autocue has stopped working, guaranteeing that we
don't have the same old renditions!
Bernard then addresses the chanting head-on...well, for him at least.
BS: "If you all speak at the same time, we can't understand what you're
saying. So this guy in the orange shirt, what are you saying, man?
Meanwhile, I know we...we...we are New Order. We know, I know, we're
stupid Mancunians, but fuck me, I know the name of our group!"
Krafty
BS: "Okay, this is Krafty."
No guitar for Bernard for this one during the first part of song, but
a roadie hands him his 335 for the part near the end.
True_Faith
BS: "Yeah! Okay, uh, Damien, have you got an SG there? Have you got
an SG? No? Okay, guys, do you mind if we do...listen, Hooky...let's
do True Faith cuz my SG's not ready, I can't play it...True Faith, True
Faith."
Fans cheer when Bernard mentions the song title.
Dawn Zee sings backing vocals here.
BBC4 has no qualms about airing the "taking drugs with me" line.
BS: "Thank you. Cheers!"
Yet more chanting.
Transmission
BS: "Okay, how we doin' Rog, any...any good news for me? Okay, we're
gonna play Transmission now, a Joy Division song."
Never heard wah-wah guitar used in this song before, and if I never
hear it again, it'd be too soon.
BS: "Cheers, thank you!"
Run_Wild
Bernard is holding a plastic cup with wine in it.
BS: "Okay, I know it's a cliche, but is everyone having a good time?
That's our aim in life, it has been for the past twenty-odd years,
or what's been life, is to have a good time and fuck everything
else, and we've achieved it, so hopefully we can share a little
bit of that with you by playing a really down and miserable song."
Now we see the effects of the missing autocue.
lyrics: "Far and wide, sweet and sinful, Jehovah knows I've been
sinful. But all the time, I think of you, I can not lie ... tell
me what to do. High and low, like a cruel game. Satan knows that
we all are the same...but if Jesus Christ to take your hand, I won't
let go, I won't let go...
Far and wide, sweet and sinful, all the things that I'd been thinking,
Lying alone, for Jesus sake, I can't believe, I took your fate.
You're the kind of person that I always wanted to be with. When
you're really cool, and you always say the right things to me.
Now I'll tell you something, well my heart beats for you deep inside.
You'll never be a burden, and my love for you will never die.
If Jesus comes to take your hand, I won't let go, I won't go (x2)
Whoo!
Yeaaah! Whoo!
Good times around the corner, good times around the corner
Good times around the corner, I swear it's getting warmer
Good times around the corner, good times around the corner
Good times around the corner, I'm gonna live to get high.
I'm gonna live till I die."
BS: "'k you! Notice that it's "Q" and not "Thank You". It's
Q, cuz I've got hay fever. Anyone got hay fever in the audience?"
Come backstage after and I'll give you a snort of something that'll
sort you out. Aller-eaze, it's called."
Jetstream
Well, my personal preference is Claritin...eh, Neil Claritin, very
good. Okay, this is Jetstream."
Think it's Dawn Zee still doing backing vocals, no Ana here.
BS: "Thank you!"
Shouts for "New Order" get really loud at this point.
Morris taps the syndrums a bit.
BS: "Okay, we just gotta tune up for a second. Just to prove
it's not all on tape, you know."
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Okay, this is Waiting For The Sirens' Call. Oh, and it's
raining again. And we like it God, we're from Manchester, please
rain a little bit more, we love it."
An XFM promo appears at this point, after the track.
PH: "Hooky's sleepy out there, innit? [coughs and sighs] Always
lost for words on occasions like this. There's only two that spring
to mind."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you. [clears throat] Has anybody got a spare set of lungs
out there...that you don't want."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Okay, this is a word-free Love Will Tear Us Apart, never tried it
before." (probably a reference to the missing autocue)
PH: "This is best set of fucking da...mosh pit dancing I've ever seen in
my fucking life. You all must be over 40, you bunch of fucking daft bastards.
You're making me feel guilty, fucking hell!"
And of course, this sounds absolutely massive.
Hooky yells out "Ready, Steve!" between verses.
Another XFM station promo.
Temptation
BS: "That was first ever indie air...indie record. And if there's any
wank-faced journalists in the audience, fuck you. Unless you like us.
And the next song we're gonna play is the second ever indie record,
which is called Temptation."
The audience "oh ohh's along to the melody, very impressive to hear
this.
Another XFM promo, this time during the song, right after the "eyes"
bit.
BS: "Thank you, good night, you've been a fantastic audience. A
few technical problems here on stage so I hope you bear with us.
Thank you very much, good night!"
Yet another XFM bit.
PH: "Good night everybody, good bye."
Encore break of a couple of minutes or so.
PH: "Gives you wings!" (He must be holding a can of Red Bull)
BS: "Hello again. We've have got a few technical problems, so you'll have
to bear with us. Quite severe ones. So, please feel sorry for us."
Atmosphere
PH: "Ready, Phil. I'd like to dedicate this to everybody who can't be
with us tonight."
Bernard mumbles the line after "Life rebuilding", meaning the autocue's
still out. Actually, he's not done too badly without it.
The singer lets out a blood-curdling scream near the end.
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Hooky, are you anywhere to be found? Hooky, where are you? Oh,
Phil wants to do She's Lost Control. Yup, man, yup...allright, this is...
I don't want to give the game away, but this is She's Lost Control."
Another XFM promo during the intro of the song.
Lots of Phil keyboards in this one.
Blue_Monday
And one more XFM promo bit.
BS: "Guess which song this is. Blue fucking Monday, yo! But we love it."
Bernard starts to change things a bit with the phrasing.
BS: "Thank you. Hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. Let's hear if
Hyde Park can compete(?) from London. Thank you very much, good night.
announcer: "New Order, live on XFM. At the O2 wireless festival, Hyde
Park. Day one over. What a day we had. Brilliant, some great bands.
Moby, the Bravery, Graham Coxon, Psychedelic Furs, Dresden Dolls. On the
XFM stage we had Boy Kill Boy performance, Rilo Kiley, Vicious Spoons,
the Dears, Hard-Fi. You'll be able to hear all that over the next
coming days. That, I promise you."
There's more in the way of announcer chatter, with the most notable
thing mentioned was that he didn't think there was quite enough
swearing!
Writeup from BBC3 broadcast.
BS: "I was Turtle's dad. One two one two one two one two.
Jerry, my pack's not working. My pack ain't working."
Hooky plays his bass during the last-minute soundchecking.
PH: "I know there's quite a few of you, isn't there? [chuckles].
Well done, a great day, a great day."
Crystal
BS: "One two one two, that worked, yeah. Right, now we got rid of our technical
gremlins, we're gonna start the set tonight with Crystal."
Dawn Zee is along for backing vocals.
Regret
The BBC3 broadcast is missing most of this song.
BS: "Yo, thank you very much."
PH: "That was shaky that, a bit shaky that."
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Okay, this is a song called Love Vigilantes."
Bernard's playing a modern black-and-white melodica, rather than
the classic Hohner green-and-white 25 keyer.
BS: "Thank you. Cheers, thanks a lot. Woo."
Chants of "New Order" at this point.
Krafty
BS: "All right, straight into Krafty."
BS: "'k you. Cheers, thanks a lot."
More chanting of the group's name.
BS: "Would you stop and give us a few seconds while we tune up, cuz
we're dead professional these days."
PH: "Would be a lot better with a bit of mud on, don't we?"
Transmission
BS: "There we go, sound a lot better now. Erm, we're gonna hop back 25
years now to a track that we wrote in our previous group Joy Division and
erm, we like to do this in memory of our dear friend Ian Curtis who died
25 years ago. Thinking(?) of John Peel and Rob Gretton."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you. Whoo! I'm all out of breath, has anyone got any?
You know what it's like when you get to our age, Hooky."
PH: "You should have seen him rooting about at 3:00 this morning."
BS: "Okay, this is True Faith. Fellas, you want to groove(?) that way.
If you don't, you can fuck off."
True_Faith
Both Hooky and Dawn Zee perform backing vocals, at one point they share a
mic and he puts his arm around her while they sing together.
BS: "'k you! I really enjoying it, we're having a fucking great time up
here. I shouldn't swear because this is on television.
Run_Wild
(only have this on the .mkv version)
BS: "Hey, we're gonna chill things out a little bit now with a track
off of our album called Get Ready...and...this is called Run Wild."
Jetstream (with Ana Matronic)
BS: "Er, for this one, I'd like to introduce our special guest, from the
Scissor Sisters, Ana Matronic. She's dressed ... a bit here. She's making
me look ... right?"
Ana comes out in a full-length satin pink robe.
AM: "It's the only place in the entire festival that I can wear heels.
How's everybody doing? I hope you're as pleased to be here as I am!"
BS: "Okay, this is Jetstream."
They hug at the end of the song.
AM: "Let's hear it for New Order!"
BS: "Thank you, Ana. She's a star."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Well, guess what we're gonna play now. This is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
`
Never noticed this before, but Hooky has a capo on the second fret of
his Eccleshall, at least for this song.
Temptation
(only have this on the .mkv version)
BS: "All right, this is Temptation."
Hooky starts wandering around the pit era, at one point even looking
through one of the video cameras positioned there.
World_In_Motion
BS: "I'm not quite sure what's going on. But at this point in the
proceedings I'm supposed to, erm, invite our friend Keith Allen on
stage to perform World In Motion with us."
Keith Allen comes in riding on a horse, or rather, on two people stuffed
into a horse costume.
BS: (giggling) "You didn't mention the horse."
KA: "Well, thank you very much."
BS: "Thank you.
KA: "Ladies and gentlemen, New Order, coolest band in the world."
BS: "Well, we were the coolest band in the world till you did that."
KA: "Nah, shut up. The only band in the world that could get Ian Brown
and Bobby Gillepsie in there." ['there' being the "horse"]
KA: (still having mic problems) One-two-three, one-two-three, one two."
BS: "Okay. Is there any football fans in the audience? No? Okay, this
is World In Motion..." [song starts, obscuring the last part of Bernard's
spoken intro]
Near the end, Hooky yells out, "All together now!"
KA: "Thank you."
BS: "Thank you, Keith."
They hug.
PH: "I don't whether our career's beginning or whether it's all over."
BS: "Thank you Bobby, Ian Brown [Phil kicks the "horse"]. And thank you,
er, cuz that's it. That's all we've got time for. Cheers, thanks a lot,
you've been a great audience."
A few tracks were broadcast on Belgian radio.
These include Crystal, Love Vigilantes, Krafty, Transmission,
Love Will Tear Us Apart, and Blue Monday. All the good stuff
said between tracks has been excised, of course.
There's also a shaky (but watchable) video of the last 37m of the
gig, with audio recorded in mono, but pretty clear nonetheless.
Crystal
The broadcast version is missing the first part of the song.
BS: "Woo! Thank you. Thanks a lot."
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "Woo! 'ank You."
Krafty
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
Transmission
PH: "This one's for you, boys."
BS: "This is Transmisison."
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
Only the last 2:30 appears on the video version. Due to traffic a lot
of concert-goers arrived to this one late.
BS: "Thanks a lot. Thank you."
PH: "I can see you there. [cackles] It's you, yes!"
BS: "Let's hear it for the wrong Vikings in the front. All right lads.
[in hoarse shouty voice] Manchester United...will never be divided."
Don't know about you lot but I'm fucking knackered whenever I attend
these festivals, this is about the bloody tenth one I've done and I tell
you, I always give 100% of what I've got but that's not much."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "This is Bizarre Love Triangle, it's about...a consensual relationship
between Phil, Steve, and Hooky and it really freaked me out so I wrote
a song about it. You got to admit, it's a pretty gruesome prospect,
haven't you? That bloody beard, oh dear!"
The videotaper spends the first part of the song walking closer to the
proceedings.
BS: "Merci Beaucoup. Bit hot up here."
I've been though so many festivals, I've run out of funny things to
say, I've resorted to 'It's a bit hot up here'. Not exactly the
[connection you want?] is it? You probably don't understand a word
I'm saying, since I'm talking really fast, I'm talking in a really
strong Mancunian accent. You can't understand...a fucking word
I'm saying, can you? Is that yes? Oh dear, I apologize then, in
advance."
True_Faith
BS: "All right, for the next song, I need a guitar please...Jason,
Jason, Jason. [you can then see Jason rush out to hand it to him].
Okay, this is True Faith."
BS: "Thank you. And we got the end right as well, that's...that's
very uncommon. They all got a bit of a youth conponent(?)"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Okay, you got to take this song very seriously, because this
is a song by Joy Division. Of course, they were a very serious band,
that group. Unlike(?) New Order."
Hooky points at someone in the audience, and proceeds to tear this
person a new one.
PH: "I bet if got...If I got a [p...unintelligable], come and sit next
to me, you cunt, because you're a fucking dickhead."
BS: "This is Love Will Tear Us Apart."
Hooky yells out something which I can't make out during the last
part of the song. Guitar outro coda.
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, cheers."
BS: "Thanks for singing it out loud as well. We appreciate it as
much as you appreciate it."
Temptation
Hooky starts humming to fill in the silence.
BS: "This is Temptaion."
Very good rendition.
BS: "Thank you very much. It's not even our best song, but it's a
good one. It is our best song, actually. And that (some) may say
that it's our most famous one, Damien."
Blue_Monday
We're going to play for you now our most famous song. Or as I just
said, it's not our best song, it's our most famous song, but that's the
way the world turns, innit. It's that the most popular songs aren't
necessarily your best song. This is Blue Monday."
It has the high pitched keyboard effects pretty much throughout.
Female announcer can be heard at about 5:45 on the broadcast
version. Excellent Phil guitar in this, too.
For Blue Monday, instead of the screen, the videotaper films the
stage, at least for a part of the song.
BS: "Thanks a lot, you've been a really great audience, and we've
been a very great group. Cheers, thanks a lot Belgium, see you again
in 20 years. Well, maybe not that long actually. Thank you, good
night!"
Source are MP3's made available by NOOL, taken from an audience
recording (in mono), as well as a DVB broadcast.
Crystal
(not broadcast)
BS: "I don't need a transmitter because I'm half from the international
language of love. And I speak the language of music, and music needs no
translation, and this is Crystal."
Some distortion is evident on this track.
BS: "Yeah, thank you! Cheers, thanks a lot, Turin. Thanks for cheering,
Turin. You know, there's a very famous person from Manchester who is called
Alan Turing. I'm sure Tony knows all about that. Oh dear."
Fans shout out for stuff, the taper apparently drops what sounds like
his change on the mic, while something like the drumbeat for 'In A
Lonely Place' makes an appearance.
BS: "Has a good groove, don't it? I'd like to play that at my funeral,
actually."
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, thank you."
Love_Vigilantes
(not broadcast)
BS: "Okay, right, well, the next song, next... [rest is muttered] ...Hooky...
Okay, this is Love Vigilantes."
At the end comes one of the strangest Bernard pronouncements heard in
quite a while.
BS: "Thank you, cheers."
PH: "What do you mean, cheers?"
BS: "You know, we took the ending of that song from an horrible Stevie
Wonder song, which one was it, "I Just Called To Say I Love You". You
check the ending of that song off, it's horrible. It's so horrible,
we copied it. You don't know what I'm saying, do you, because you're
Italian."
I daresay he's correct, only the Brits in the audience likely understand
what he's rambling about.
BS: "Manchester United...will never be defeated."
That does get a reaction out of the crowd, not a pleasant one, of
course.
Krafty
BS: "Anyway, whereever we're from, we're all here to have a good time.
It's a beautiful evening here in Turin. And we're gonna play a good-time
song for you now, it's called Krafty, which was one of our singles."
(at end)
BS: "Cheers, thank you!"
BS: "I've got to tune up for a minute, very professional these days. It's
perfectly tuned, Dave, why, you don't even need to touch it.... When I said
'professional' I was referring to our road crew, not us, of course. We're
still punks, aren't we? [cymbal crash] with a small P."
(only the first sentence in included in the broadcast)
Transmission
BS: "This is a Joy Division song, it's called Transmission."
BS: "Thank you. Thank you very much."
Italian punter screams something in between these tracks.
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, that was a Joy Division song. We're gonna play another Joy
Division song, and it's called Atmosphere."
Everythings_Gone_Green
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Nlw you have to bear with us, erm, with this
next song, because I think we've not played it for erm, many, many years.
We've not, I've not really got a fucking clue on how to play it really,
played it once in the soundcheck today, so if it sounds shite, it's
punk, right? This is Everything's Gone Green. It's got really miserable
fucking lyrics."
BS: "Thank you!"
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Okay, the next track we're going to play, is we're going to bring you
up to date a little bit, is "Waiting For The Siren's Call".
(at end)
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Jerry, can you turn my guitar down a little
bit now please."
BS: "Okay, we've just got to change out the guitars, won't be a second.
330, Damien."
"Haus" Keyboard plonking.
True_Faith
BS: "Okay, erm...ooh, we're gonna play a dance tune now called True Faith.
It's this red light Andy, I can see it, you know, I'm not daft."
Poor Andy.
Quite a bit of distortion on this track.
Cheers, thank you."
Edit at end suggests this was sourced from audio tape!
A/B split at this point. This misses out on some spacey keyboards and
Bernard hocking up a lung that's present on the FM version.
BS: "I'm coughing better today, I'm coughing better today. Okay, this is
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
Intro is truncated slightly.
BS: (sounding a bit out of breath) "Cheers, thanks a lot."
PH: "All right, Phil. You know that I can't see you over there, it's
pretty dark."
BS: "Tell you what, I don't know how hot it is down there, but it's pretty
hot up here, with those lights. Staying over here isn't very funny, I didn't
say it in the first place....but you're not really charming, that's why. "
Bernard may have been responding to Hooky's jibe due to the lights being
dimmed, not sure.
During the middle of this a female punter swears and calls for something
in her native tongue.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Okay, we're gonna play another Joy Division tune, because
it's 25 years since Ian Curtis died, our good old friend Ian. Having
to play Love Will Tear Us Apart now. You started talking..."
Some muttering, and then the songs starts.
BS: "Thank you, cheers."
Ends in a bit of bass feedback."
Temptation
(not broadcast)
BS: "There's still more, there's still more."
BS: "Guys, here's another one. Right, ok, now I can tell you off.
This is Temptation."
BS: "Cheers, thanks a lot, you've been a great audience. It's been an
honor playing Turin for you, got a lot in common with Manchester.
Don't know what but fin... we have(?)..."
Encore break at this point.
Your_Silent_Face
(not broadcast)
Tape break at this point.
BS: "We never ever ever do encores, but tonight we'll make an exception."
Uh huh.
BS: "Is everyone having a good festvial? What you doing after the show,
because we don't...we'd like for all of you to come back to our hotel and
party with us. We're staying at Hotel Bastardos. Anyway, enough of my
yacking, this is called Your Silent Face."
I guess there was no vacancies at the Hotel Tuat.
BS: "Thank you. I'm sorry about the chord at the end from our Phil
Cunningham. [Phil plays something offkey] What chord was that, Phil,
play it again..."
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Thank you, thank you. And we dunno...we're gonna play She's Lost
Control by Joy Division."
BS: "Cheers, thank you! Cheerful that one, innit?"
Rough edit between SLC and Blue_Monday. The broadcast has a male
announcer talking...of course, over Bernard's pronouncement.
Phil throws in the keyboard line to Trans-Europe Express at the start.
Very much a "kitchen-sink" version. Bravo.
A couple minutes after the end with punters cheering for the group to
come back on.
Incomplete broadcast from BBC3. Features brief interview with Hooky and
Stephen, interesting bits being that Hooky cops to the '86 Playhouse gig
as being crap, and that the bassist Interpol was stalking him, wanting
to stroke his equipment, hopefully meaning his musical instrument!
Regret
BS: "We're gonna start with Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Cheers, thank you. All, right I'm ready for bed now."
Viking soundtrack of "NUUUH ODDDAH", of course...
Krafty
BS: "Okay, this is our recent #5 hit single. It's Krafty."
It appears that underneath his green blazer, Bernard is wearing the
2005 issue green Ceremony T-shirt! What bands wear their own shirts?
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Whoa, thank you, thanks very much.
Just chill out a bit while we have a drink."
Crystal
BS: "Right, this is Crystal, and we've got a very special guest,
but wait and see. Okay, Rog."
After Dawn Zee's cauterwauling intro vocals...
BS: "Please welcome Brandon Flowers from the Killers."
As dire as you can imagine it, and I actually like the Killers.
'Need a little time to wake up' line sung by Brandon (appropriately)
a few times here.
BS: "Thank you, a big hand to Brandon...and the Killers, we're big
fans of theirs, thank you."
Atmosphere
BS: "You start this one, Hooky."
(at end)
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Edited, so there's no stage comments beforehand.
Hooky calls out, "Ready, Steve!" before bridge.
Bernard chirps out "C'mon!" and "hey, hey, hey". to get the audience
more into it. Hooky cries out, "Here we go!"
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
Announcer: "The Monday morning, the last two of [?] six,
in other words, twelve 'till two o'clock. And it's not very
often you get to see a band who really did do something
original, did launch new music rather than acres of hype,
who always did their own thing and let others follow,
well one of those bands is New Order, and they're headlining
[?] on the ticket stage axiom[?] set the level for all the
young pretenders to, [Bernard at this point says, "Okay"],
well, pretend they can reach I suppose."
(the following from Bernard doesn't appear on the FM version,
you have to go to ATR's recording to hear it, as the FM doesn't
have Regret, Krafty, or Love Vigilantes)
BS: "Hi, everyone. You know...[what up]"
BS: "Okay, the size of the audience...I guess the Foo Fighters...
they don't even know who we are [fans boo]...but you know what?
They sound like the fucking Fall! [fans cheer]."
PH: "80,000 people can't be wrong, can they?" (a reference
to the Fall's greatest hits album)
Regret
BS: "This is a tune to our songs they can whistle along to, especially
this one, it's called Regret."
Krafty
BS: "Thank you, and cheers. Hey, [name, sounds like Mourie], my voice
is a little bit distorted. Hooky's a little bit loud, and Phil's a little
bit loud. Cheers, thank you, have you had a good festival?" [cheers]
For once, the sun's been shining down on you...on this wonderful country
you have is yours. [anyway] I'll be careful what I say, Andy. It's sunny,
anyway, sunny....Which takes us nicely into a nice sunny song that we...off
our last album called Krafty."
At some points members in the crowd are much louder in the mix than Bernard
is...could be they were having mic issues.
BS: "Thank you, cheers. Thank you."
Keyboard twinkle.
Announcer: "Now if you hear someone shout, "Boogie on, Bernie",
at the front of the stage, that was probably me. New Order, live
from 2FM, at Oxegen."
Crystal
A spirited performance.
BS: "Okay, yo one two one two."
BS: "Okay, uh...this is Crystal. Okay I was going to tell you what this song
was about but I haven't f...got a bleeding clue what it's about. It's about
breaking glass. Okay, this is Crystal."
(near end of song)
PH: "Ready? You ready baldie? You ready? You ready?"
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Whoa, whoa one two, one two."
BS: "Jerry, can you take a little bit of bottom off of me voice, and put
a bit of top on, it's quite boomy up here."
Transmission
Punters (Vikings really) chant "New Order".
PH: "You're gonna get a fuckin' heart attack, you."
(probably referring to Gary, the 'baldie' bits as well)
BS: "Just give us a second while we tune."
PH: "Shall we play, you ready? Ah, this is for everybody who loves music."
At 3:16, Hooky cries out "All together, Alex!"
BS: "Cheers, thank you very much."
(following dialogue and song is not on the FM version)
He coughs.
BS: "Thank you very much, a little bit out of breath after that one.
Normally, at this stage of our set, we play a slow song. But, we're not
going to tonight. All right, you don't like the slow songs? All right,
you should be watching the fucking Foo Fighters, shouldn't you? [cymbal
crash from Steve] We like to think there's a little bit of subtlety in our
...[audience these days] but obviously not!
More chants of the group's name.
Love_Vigilantes
BS: "So I'm gonna don my, gonna don my redneck heart, because we're gonna
play a redneck song now."
Bernard plays his melodica softly a bit.
BS: "It's called Love Vigilantes, that's what [Kinks-like?]"
A "1-2-3-4" gets thrown in between verses.
BS: "Thank you. That song was about my experiences in Vietnam. Which
amount to nothing. Which means that song's about nothing. I'll leave you
thinking about that one."
BS: "So is everybody camping here tonight, you all in tents? Does it get
a bit hot like at eight o'clock in the morning, when you're all hung over?
But you still want to shag your girlfriend, don't you. Nothing will put
you off. Even the flies." [he grunts and says something in a quiet voice]
BS: "Right, we're not playing a slow one, but I'm going to talk a load of shit
for a bit just so we can get our breath back because Hooky's getting on a bit
now....and I'm still [foofs] in sweating all of this energy...and Phil's got
a sweaty ass...Steve on the drums has definitely got a sweaty ass and
[drum roll] he gets off on it."
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "All right, all right, all right. Erm, this is off our latest album,
Waiting For The Sirens' Call, and the track is called Waiting For The
Sirens' Call".
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
Announcer: "You're listening to New Order, live at Oxegen on 2FM live."
(the broadcast cuts out Bernard's comments between songs)
BS: "Jerry, seems I've got my pack on full, can you send me more gain, my pack's
on full and it sounds distorted."
True_Faith
BS: "Okay...okay, we're gonna play a dancey tune now, because we know everyone
likes dancing. This is True Faith. One two one two. A bit brighter, please,
a bit brighter."
BS: (at about 1:00 in) "More bass sequencer!"
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
BS: "Have we got a...[rest unintelligible]"
Punters shout out for Everything's Gone Green and Slow Jam.
PH: "Yes? [while Bernard talks] Aww, can't hear you...wish I could hear you."
BS: [interrupting] "Jerry, take a bit of the bottom of the...take a bit of
the bottom off of Phil's keyboards as well, there's a right boom on the stange
from all of the...low bottom."
PH: "God, you're fucking louder than the PA, you." [laughs]
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Okay, now we've hit on a bit of a dance tip. We could carry on, or we can
go on a Foo Fighters sort of stylee. [crowd groans] All right, I'm getting the
message that you're speaking to me...we're going to play Bizarre Love Triangle
next."
During the middle of BLT, Alex yells out, "Stop touching my microphone, dickhead!"
BS: "Cheers, thanks. Muchas gracias. Whoo!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "This is Damien, my guitar roadie. If there's any young ladies in the audience
that fancy him, he's free, you know. He's more of a worm than a snake in the trouser
department, but he's a good lookin' guy."
You can clearly hear audience members say various and sundry into the ambient mics.
At 3:26 Bernard cries, "We need your help!"
Near the end, the mic lead to Alex's rig gets pulled out a bit, as the sound shifts
to mono. It stays that way until partway through SLC.
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
BS: "[Mutters something that ends in] shirt, have you, Steve?"
Temptation
BS: "Okay...believe it or not, we still got some more good songs left.
Eh, the front of you are going "Oooooohhhhhaa Oooooohhhhhaa".
That's what we're gonna play that one, "Oooooohhhhhaa"."
PH: "He's a charmer, innie?..."
One of Bernard's more interesting vocal efforts.
BS: "Cheers, thank you. You've been a fantastic audience. I know cuz it
says on the autocue here. Thank you very much!"
Brilliant!
Announcer: "This is 2FM live, and New Order live, at Oxegen 05, recorded by 2FM."
(cuts off Barney, making it difficult to make out the start of what he says next,
which even on the audience recording is hard to decipher.
(the rest isn't on the FM recording, but is captured in ATR's recording)
BS: "Thank you, you lot have been fucking great, hope you have a great festival,
because we've really enjoyed playing to you...from all our heart, cheers, thank
you."
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Nice again, in the floor. He's a bit desperate, he's
not had a shag since 1964. Right, all right, I've just been told...we wanted
to play three songs in our encore, the powers that be will let us only do two
[boos]
(this is on the FM)
BS: "So, if you have...we could play the third one in all the time I'm wasting
in talking. So you got a choice, we could play a Joy Division song. You've got
a choice, and we want you to cheer for which one you want, the first one is
Atmosphere [moderate cheering] and the second one is She's Lost Control
[louder cheering]. I think She's Lost Control wins."
BS: "Cheers, thank you! Oh, oh, what's that? Three songs? Three? There he is,
Mr. Spoilsport!" [fans boo]
(following was left off the FM broadcast)
BS: "All right, we can't say no to your dad, can you? How dare you come onstage
with a shirt like that, you know you're not fucking in line mate, you're in Ireland.
No one tells me what to do. No one! Kiss my ass. We'll just play the two though."
Blue_Monday
BS: "This is Blue Monday."
At this point, Alex's DAT starts cutting out during the intro portion.
Another interesting filter effect. In general, New Order have much improved the
sound of their albatross.
Announcer: "And there you go, that's New Order, live, mixed by Mark
McVeigh(?), produced by Paul McLean(?) for 2FM live at the Ticket Stage,
Oxegen, [something] '05 New Order.... [upcoming accouncement of
Kaiser Chiefs set, talking over Hooky's signoff, I believe only the
second sentence makes it to the FM braodcast]
PH: "Thanks everyone, it was really nice to be back. Thank you so much.
Good night, God bless. Take care."
BS: "Cheers, thank you very much. We've enjoyed playing to you, and we hope
it's not so long before we come back to Ireland again, you've been a great
audience, good night!" [sadly, this was the last time NO would play Ireland]
And one more shot off the bow.
BS: "Cheers, you can all get pissed now, because that's what we're gonna do."
The beginning of the end?
Johnny Giles reported that Hooky played a snatch of DNE in between
KW1 and Sirens.
Full audience tape made available by Species. Heavy bass on this
one.
Starts with a bit of Ennio Morricone as the pre-gig backign tape.
Crystal
BS: "Hello. I don't know where we are in Sweden, but it's very nice.
That was witty, wasn't it? [repeating to himself] I don't know where
we are in Sweden, but it's very nice. Mancunian humor, we're funny
people, we say(?). Okay, we'd like to, erm, dedicate this whole set
to Ian Curtis, whose birthday, whose birthday occurs at 12:00 tonight.
Get more gain on this backch... Jerry, put more gain from you."
BS: "Right, okay, this is Crystal."
BS: "Yeah, one one one one one."
The fans start doing the cooing backing vocals bit.
BS: "Yeahhh! Thank you."
BS: "Okay, is this the first night of your festival in Sweden, whereever
you are? Hope you're having a really good one. It's supposed to rain
tomorrow, but it always rains at all the best festivals."
BS: "You know what I don't like about festivals, I don't like the smell of
fookin' burgers. [drum crash] Especially when you've got a massive chunk
of... I don't know if you've got chunky beans in Sweden, do you? It's a
good thing."
Regret
BS: "This is Regret."
BS: "Thank you, thank you. The smell of burgers is overpowering..."
Love_Vigilantes follows.
BS: "Thank you. Cheers, thanks a lot."
Phil tinkles the ivories.
BS: "Some water. Sarge, you got some fizzy water, please?"
BS: "Okay, are you enjoying yourselves so far? [can't make out next
phrase amid cheering and clapping]. I'm just going to have a drink
of water. And then we're going to launch into Krafty."
BS: "Cheers, thank you, thank you very much. It's a good one, that one.
...to shit.
Transmission
PH: "If someone had told me 28 years ago that we'd still be playing(?),
I'd've laughed my bollocks off."
BS: "This is Transmission."
BS: "Cheers, thank you. That was of course, Transmission by Joy Division,
who are us minus one member."
Atmosphere
(at end)
BS: "Thank you very much, cheers, thank you."
PH: "Ahh, one two three four."
Your_Silent_Face
BS: "Okay, we're gonna do something whic we've never done before, which
is to play slow songs in succession, one after another song. That was a
Joy Division song, and this is a New Order song, it's called Your Silent
Face."
BS: "Thank you."
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Okay, thanks for being a really great audience. Are you enjoying
it so far because we're really enjoying playing to you. What a creep!
I've been known in certain cases in my life to be a creep, but this
time I need it. This is a track off our new album, and it's called
Waiting For The Sirens Call."
BS: "Synths up, Jerry."
At 1:45, Bernard yells out "Hold that chorus[?]".
True_Faith
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Especially, for the little kid who's on
his dad's shoulders over there. He's really getting into it. If
you all know what you need to do, just look at that little kid over
there who's...who's cool...he's small(?) then, but he's cool. This
is True Faith.
BS: "Cheers, thank you. Wooh! Thank you very much, this is David,
my guitar roadie. He's desperate to meet a few nice young ladies.
He hasn't got a girlfriend at the moment, he's free."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "This is Bizarre Love Triangle. It's about a homosexual relationship
between Peter, our bass player, Steve, and our ... guitarist, Phil."
BS: "Thank you, cheers."
A bit of guitar tuning.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
BS: "Phil's come up, this is Hooky's roadie, he's a bit desperate as well.
That's the first time I've seen him come up on the stage, actually, because
David got mentioned. This is Love Will Tear Us Apart!"
A few "C'mon's" by Barney, and Hooky calls out "Ready, Steve?" at the
bridge.
BS: "Thank you, cheers, woo! It's a good song, innit? It's not shite,
let's put it that way."
Temptation
BS: "Okay, this is our...this is the last song we're gonna do. I'd like
to dedicate it to the little kid on his dad's shoulder over there, it's
so cool, the little kid with mommy on his dad's shoulder. It's what we
called a chaf in Manchester. Erm, this is for Sweden as well, my favorite
country. It actually is true, for one I am not bullshitting, it's true.
I'd like to live here, if only I got a free house here. This is Temptation."
BS: "Cheers, thank you very much. It's been an honor to play in your
country. Such lovely people, it's fantastic to play here. Thank you
for having us. Good night!"
The group come back on for the encore.
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Cheers, thank you, cheers."
Somebody near taper says something (in Swedish)
BS: "Erm, what we'll do now is gonna play a song that we've not
played much live, but we're gonna play it here in uh, Sweden.
We've not played it for 25 years since Ian died but we're gonna
try and play it tonight. We've not rehearsed it, so just bear
with us. Er, see the QG Hooky, Phil, it's in the QG. Steve,
the beat is like this [makes beatbox sounds!]. It's called
She's Lost Control...(mumble)...It's called She's Lost Control,
it's a Joy Division song. [intro starts] That's it."
Pure bullshit, of course.
And then he starts to sing Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" along
to the drumbeat! Bloody brilliant.
BS: "3...4...fucking... That was a moment lost forever, that."
PH: "I got it, I got it, I really enjoyed it. Ring my fucking bell
anytime, Bernard."
BS: "One-two". And then Hooky starts in with the bass riff.
After the chorus, Bernard says something to Hooky...
BS: "'k you. Thank you! Not bad. That's the first time we've played
it in 25 years. Steve fucked up a bit, Phil fucked up a bit, Hooky
fucked up a bit, but I was all right. It's always the case...sorry...
sure if you've have...got any of our bootlegs, you know that's the [here
Hooky starts to twack his bass loudly to shut up Barney] story every
time."
Blue_Monday
BS: "Okay, we're...we're...we're gonna play a song [to close]?...it's
quite long this song, it's a good gap-filler. It's quite long. It's called
Blue Monday."
At about 5:45, a very familiar keyboard riff, that of The Perfect Kiss,
can be heard.
[as reported by Johnny Giles]
Apparently, Phil and Hooky rocked out so much that Bernard felt he had
to come back on stage to apologize for his bandmates' excessive activity.
Hooky looked very unhappy with Bernard's comment and continuted to play.
BS: "Thank you very much. I've sorry about the over...little bit of
overindulgency on that...thank you very much, it's been great playing
Sweden again, we love your country and we love your...well, we love
you. Cheers, thank you."
Then Bernard went back on the mic to explain that Phil and Hooky were
warming up for their next gig where they'd be playing with Deep Purple.
This caused Hooky to pick up his bass over his head and throw it in the
pit.
BS: "Let me explain, at the next festival we're doing, we're playing
with Deep Purple, so we're just practicing tonight. Thank you, good
night."
A bit more chatter before the tape ends.
Video Broadcast includes Crystal/Krafty/Regret/Transmission.
The rest of the tracks were broadcast on FM.
Phil appears to wear a shirt that says "NICKED".
Steve has on his space invader shirt.
Crystal
BS: "...What we do..." (Announcer blurts something here)
(at end)
BS: "Woo, thank you! Thank you!"
BS: "Just give us a second and we'll tune up please, That's pretty out there,
Damien, I need to change it. Jerry can you give me a bit less keyboards,
please, a little bit of top on my voice a little bit of reverb over my voice.
Yeah, is everyone having a good festival? I shall bloody well hope so."
[Morris hits his syndrums]
BS: "Okay, this is nice out, we've played about fourteen festival this
year, but this is especially a nice atmosphere, this one here in France
tonight. No, I mean it, I mean it. It's a good atmosphere. But we're
not going to play Atmosphere."
Regret
BS: "Okay, this is Regret."
The attractive female presenter stands behind the barricade and points toward
the band.
(at end)
BS: "Merci Beaucoup."
Some strummed guitar chords.
Krafty
BS: "Thank you very much. Whoo! Okay, we're gonna play, erm, Krafty next."
They play Krafty.
BS: "Cheers, thank you!"
PH: "Ready, Phil!"
Transmission
BS: "Thank you very much. This is Transmission."
(after)
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
BS: "Whooh, I'm out of breath now."
Atmosphere
BS: "It's nice to play a slow one now, especially for our...our
drummer, Steve, our drummer. I think he finds that one a little
bit of a challenge...."
The announcers talk though a bit of the intro. A cut as sources
change between TV broadcast and FM simulcast.
Waiting_For_The_Sirens_Call
BS: "Thanks for letting us do a slow one. Jerry, this mic's a
little bit distorted, I don't know if it's the mic or what...
again. It's good to do a slow one, but now that we're all breaking
a sweat, it's good to play some, eh...faster ones, in a minute.
This is Waiting For The Sirens' Call, of the album by the same name."
(during intro)
BS: "Synths up.
True_Faith
BS: "Thank you. It's great to play in France, and we hope to come
back and play a major tour someday. Just chatting a little bit while
my guitar gets tuned up. This is True Faith, Jerry I'm a little bit
distorted, so turn the gain down a bit, and I'll ta... a bit here."
BS: "Feel free to dance."
Funky guitar intro, very nice.
PH: "Cu..... here we gooooooooo...."
After bridge...
BS: "...two, three, four!"
BS: "Thank you, cheers!"
Hooky vamps a bit at the end.
PH: "Thought that was Deep Purple, liked it."
Bizarre_Love_Triangle
BS: "Cheers, thank you.
Love_Will_TearUs_Apart
BS: "Thank you very much. Hope you're enjoying it. I'm afraid it's
started raining, if you haven't noticed."
Bernard does a couple of "C'mon's", as he typically does here.
BS: "Whooo! That's for Ian Curtis, a real friend. It's for everybody
else in France, cuz, erm, when we first started as Joy Division, France
embraced us very much and we never forgot it, thank you."
French translation here.
Temptation
BS: "I'd like to dedicate this next song, for, er, all the people who are
victims of terrorism and all the people in London who have died recently,
who've suffered, erm, at the hands of bad people. Also, anyone's who
suffered from loss. We're living in a pretty tough world at the moment,
and we're like to hope the music helps out a little bit and puts us in
touch with ourselves. This is Temptation, it's off of...se...girls(?)"
(at end)
BS: "Cheers, thank you very much, you've been a great audience.
It's been an honor to play in your country, thank you. That's it,
folks!"
More from the French announcer.
Encore tracks.
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "We never know we're gonna do encores. This year we're...
(the announcers talk over the intro, argh!)
This is She's Lost Control."
BS: "Merci Beaucoup. Thank you very much."
French announcer talks at this point.
Everythings_Gone_Green
BS: "Woo, cheers, thank you for being a great audience. We've got a
group of fans over here from England They're called the Vikings. I
don't know why because they're from England, not Denmark. They should
be called the Hooligans. And, erm, they've requested that we play an
old New Order song called Everything's Gone Green. We've not rehearsed
it so if it sounds shite let us know and we'll stop."
A more solid version than Torino's.
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "Didn't go too badly that, did it?"
Blue_Monday
BS: "Sometimes, I get the impression in New Order it's a competition
to see who can finish last. We're getting closer and closer to Deep
Purple, it's very relevant that we play with Deep Purple tonight,
because every day in every way we become purpler and purpler, especially
certain pats of our anatomy. Cheers, anyway, and we're gonna play one
more song tonight. As the Japanese say, it's called "Brue Monday".
Hooky cries out during the bridge, "Monday, let see the punters, man.
Let's see the punters!"
At the 5:30 point:
PH: "Andy, let's have the lights on, man! Yeah, that's better.
Fookin' hell, put 50p in the meter, Andy, fuck me."
(at end)
PH: "Looks nice there Andy, looks really nice. [laughs] See you
in thirty years!"
Cool filter sweep effects.
BS: "And thank you very much, I'm sorry about the, erm, aural masturbation at the end.
But we've got all somthing there for us. Au revoir monsieur, au revoir madame,
je ne paid(?) New Order."
And, you guessed it, the announcers talk at the end.
Video (billed as a pt.1) only featuers Crystal, Krafty (partly
sung in Japanese) and Love Will Tear Us Apart.
New Order performed on the Green Stage.
Crystal
BS: "Thank you, cheers, thank you!"
Krafty
BS: "More bass sequencer, Jerry. Ready? Here we go."
As noted above, Bernard sings the first and last verses in
Japanese.
BS: "Thank you!"
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
Bernard does his usual "C'mon" exhortations.
BS: "Cheers, thank you."
Three tracks (Transmission/Atmosphere/Warsaw) were aired on Radio 1.
The others were filmed by at least two different audience members.
Feargal Sharkey introduces the group.
Transmission
BS: "Cheers, thank you. And thank you Feargal for such a wonderful
introduction. But really, tonight's not about us, it's about John,
so eveything we do is memory of him."
BS: "Now we'll calm you all, but now paradoxically..."
[he stumbles saying this way, which is why this was likely cut from
the BBC broadcast]
BS: "We're gonna play a Joy Division set for you tonight, and we're
gonna start with Transmission."
(at end)
BS: "Cheers, thank you!"
Shes_Lost_Control
BS: "Whoo. Of cource, we're playing this concert tonight because
John Peel was the first person to ever play Joy Division nationwide
live on air in the UK. And we feel that we owe him a debt for doing
that because if it was wasn't for John we would have gone fucking
nowhere.
Drums start up...
BS: "This is She's Lost Control."
PH: "A little bit more guitar please, Jerry. A bit more of Bernard's
guitar please."
BS: "Thank you, cheers. There are a few technical problems up here..."
I presume at this point somebody yelled out for LWTUA.
PH: "C'mon lads, now. That's one you know we're doing."
Shadowplay
BS: "Okay, thank you very much, this is Shadowplay."
Looks like the guitar sound was still acting up.
Definitely a surprise to see that this had been dug out and redusted.
Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart
PH: "I want to dedicate this one to my daughter, Jessica, she's seven
today."
Folks shout, "New Order, New Order!"
Bernard hears this and makes the following quip.
BS: "Well, we're not going to play any New Order songs for you tonight
because John, I don't think John did any Hooky, did John play any New Order
songs, not a one."
Midway, Bernard gives up on the guitar and pics up the mic off its stand,
and even dances a bit like he's peforming BLT.
BS: "All right, calm down a bit, calm down a bit! Fookin' hell, you
would think it was Madonna up here tonight. It's not Madonna, it's prima
donna. I'm not in front [whining to?] you, but could I have a guitar that
works, please?"
Sarge exorts the crowd to move back.
Atmosphere
BS: "Okay, so we're approaching the end of our set now, and my guitar's
finally working now."

This was sent wirefree using Orange Mail (www.orange.net)
band notoriously hostile to playing live. The band opened with recent
single 'Crystal', and while the show was heavy with material from
current album 'Get Ready', all three decades of their career were covered,
with hits like 'Bizarre Love Triangle', 'True Faith' and 'Blue Monday'.
The set also included three Joy Division songs - 'Transmission', 'Love Will
Tear Us Apart' and 'Atmosphere'.

greatest band live from the world's crappiest venue, New Order at the
Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL. The sound in the hall is terrible but
you'd never know it from this recording - it turned out miles and miles
better than I'd ever have dreamed! I was somewhere between 50-100 feet
from the stage, smack-dab in the center of the hall, so I got a decent
stereo mix from both PA stacks. Of course it would have been less boomy
right in front of a stack, but I couldn't get there. So I settled for
the second-best place, and it turned out really wonderfully good, especially
after some magic EQ work to cut down some of the boominess.

This was one of my first successful tapings outdoors... Initialy, I was
not very confident on the abilities of my MIC outdoors (not really made
for recording live gigs despite its good performance indoors) since the
weather was extremely windy (as you may hear at some points of the
recording), and also because the main sponsor of the festival was a beer
brand (Cheap beer = Lots of screamers) but, most importantly, the awful
acoustic the venue had. I can nearly say that this recording sounds
better than the live concert was itself! You can hear some people around
me talking throught the recording, but nothing out of this world. There
are some volume oscilations here and there, and the overall volume is
not very loud "per se", I like it just as it is but, if you don't like
it, maybe you should consider raising a few dB with Cool Edit or any
other program, feel free to do so. As for the band, they really seemed
to enjoy this concert more than anything else! It was their first time
in Portugal and the audience was really excited about hearing NO live
for the very first time live! They had some real competition that day
with bands like The Hives or Moby, but I think most of the people
present in that festival day was there for New Order. Bernard screwed up
Krafty by shouting the words which made Peter furious, starting a small
fight on stage (you cannot hear it though). The band delivered us a nice
setlist in an exceptional mood, and promised to return soon to Portugal.
I was thrilled for watching one of my favorite bands in such a great
performance! As for the recording itself, I think it's pretty good,
considering all the adversities I had to record this
(weather/screamers/mics), I was pleasantly surprised with the overall
quality of the recording. I'll give it a B!
