Taper who captured the entire set included the audio for the Michael Shamberg bit as well as a female French compere who introduced the group in French, and then spoke in English.

French lady: "Hi everyone. Where are all the English tonight. Yi! Nice. So as you know, we are all here to support Michael Shamberg, and after this show there will be an aftershow, at the [name]. It's a club. The info is all over here. You can ask anyone. So we hope you all come and support the cause. And some great DJ's are playing tonight...with New Order, Stephan is going to DJ tonight. And you can all see the exhibition at Gallery Ivana de Garbardines on the sixth, so you all come and support. Have a great show. Bye guys!"

_Elegia_

BS: "How you doing? We're going to [?] here tonight, but we're going to start with a slow song...and obviously we would like to dedicate the whole set to our dear friend Michael Shamberg who isn't very well...let's have a round of applause(?) please, cause he's watching this on TV in America.

Segues right into _Crystal_

BS: "Thank you!"

_Regret_

BS: "You all right! It is hot. But it's not as hot down there as it is up here, I tell you...it's frigging boiling. But it's nothing I regret."

BS: "'Q".

BS: "Just...with the lights..[can't quite make out what he's saying]"

_Ceremony_ follows.

_Age___Of___Consent_

BS: "Okay. [something]. All right, here we go."

During the 'I lost you' bit..."Back up a little bit...back up!". I guess it was getting a bit crazy up front with this one.

BS: "Cheers, thank you! There's a bunch of people getting squashed at the front there."

_Love___Vigilantes_

(at end)

BS: "Cheers, thank you! Anybody got towels up here, it's [?] hot up here. Towels. I expect some to be there[?]"

_Krafty_

BS: "Is everybody enjoying themselves? All right, [hope there's?] more were that came from. Okay, start the drum machine."

(at end)

BS: "Yo!"

_1963_

BS: "Whose idea was it to go out last night? It was mine actually.

Somebody says 'Tin Tin'.

BS: "Actually it was Tin Tin's, our DJ, but he can't...just can't help himself...turn the lights down please...Okay, here we go."

BS: "'k you!"

_Bizarre___Love___Triangle_

BS: "Hair of the dog, hair of the dog....why do you have to ask us that, what kind of dog is it? Okay, that's obviously the slow ballady one in the set. and from here onwards we're going to pump up the beats. [cheers] Unfortunately, for me. All right, here we go."

Last lines are 'I'm waiting for that final moment, where you sing the words...'

BS: "Woo!"

_True___Faith_

BS: "We got one that's got guitar in it. In your own good time, Steve, when you're ready..."

BS: "Cheers! Thank you!"

_586_

BS: "I hear you French people like to dance, is that true? Okay, we're gonna test you for the next few songs. You're from Belgium. Well, I saw you lot dancing last night. Okay, when you're ready, Adolf."

Brilliant "5-8-6-6-6-6-6-6...." intro.

This features lots of Bernard gestures, good for those hearing-impaired I guess. Actually, this song is the most impressinve reworking I've heard yet, and actually benefits from Phil's guitar work.

BS: "Muchas gracias."

_The___Perfect___Kiss_

BS: "We're having a Windows XP moment again. We all refuse the charge."

(at end)

BS: "Cheers, thank you!"

Chats of "New Order".

_Temptation_

BS: "Okay, this is our last song. [groans] We gotta finish somewhere! We're getting on a bit, y'know, we can't go on as well. We love you as well, we really do."

'Street Hassle' opening again.

BS: "Thank youuuu!!!"

_Blue___Monday_

No introduction, the band just play it.

BS: "She's had enough! Already, it's only the second gig, and she's had enough. Think it must be me. I have that effect on other musicians."

(referring to Gillian, presumably)

_Love___Will___Tear__Apart_

BS: "That sounds shit. Okay, that sounds a bit better, doesn't it? Okay, [?] boys and girls, let's get started."

(at end)

BS: "Thank youuu!! Who would have thought that such a sad song would one day have been so joyous. Thank you, you've been a great audience, we... fucking loved it. Good night!"

_Regret_

BS: "Cheers, muchas gracias. At least we're New Order, I'm sure you know already. It's fantastic to be in Buenos Aires again. We had such a great time when we were here last time. It's a great city, it's a great country, thank you."

(at end)

BS: "Thank you."

_Ceremony_

BS: "...the danger of being onstage, that's highly unprofessional, you know. We have been criticized for being unprofessional. Okay, Voltaire(?)"

_Love___Vigilantes_

BS: "Anyone got a corkscrew?"

Someone calls out, "Wankers!"

BS: "Wankers, did someone say wankers then? Do you know...do you know what that means in English? He must be watching through his hotel bedroom window." [a quite funny reference to their dear departed bassist]

Bernard then opens up the bottle he wanted the corkscrew for.

BS: "It's mineral water...it's just...[bit in Spanish?]

Lots of cheering.

BS: "We don't know what it means, but we like it."

_1963_

BS: The problem with this mineral water is that it evaporates so quickly. Er, it's the closest thing...

_Bizarre___Love___Triangle_

BS: "If you ask me a question one more time, I'll answer it for you, but we will be here all night. "Are you having a good time"? That's the only question I have to ask. We're only half the equation up here, the audience are the other half, so you are as important as us, so we're going to start the section of the set now which is pretty dancey, so we want you all to get dancey...ok, ready?"

_True___Faith_

BS: "We're going to Brazil tomorrow, I just hope it's not this cold in Brazil, is it this hot?" Bernard then mutters something.

_Temptation_

BS: I'm afraid we've reached the state of proceedings where this is the last song. We'll be back in another five years, what's the problem? Okay, here we go."

(at end)

BS: "Muchas gracias. Por favor, from Manchester, England. Thank you, you've been a fucking fantastic audience. Thank you very much, Buenos Aires."

_Love___Will___Tear___Us___Apart_

BS: "Thank you. Think about breaking out our 12-string guitar, don't know if you have thought about it, but we only have five fingers.

[Bit of a false start]

BS: "Okay, all right, here we go."

(at end)

BS: "Thank you, you've been a fantastic audience ...[?]... Buenos Aires, thank you. Cheers, thank you!"


NO: 10 DEC 11 Troxy - London

Source courtesy of Whiskybob (DIME).

pre-gig intro music is A Man Called Gerald's 'Voodoo Ray'.

_Elegia_ starts out without any introduction, and segues into Crystal.

BS: "Cheers, muchas gracias."

_Regret_

BS: "Okay, go for it Steve."

(at the conclusion)

BS: "Thank you. We've just been on tour in South America, and as you can imagine, it was really awful over there. Boiling hot, sunshine, cocktails being poured down our throats all the time. So, we're so happy to be back here in London, we're going to play a very special set for you here tonight, because you're WORTH IT!"

_Ceremony_

BS: "I don't know what's special about it though. I'll make something up at the end [Steve cymbal crash]. Start the drum machine, Steve."

Bernard screams the chorus a bit.

_Age___Of___Consent_

BS: "Okay?"

_Love___Vigilantes_

BS: "Sometimes a big wall is a big waste of time. Occasionally, it comes in handy. As is tuning your guitar. We're punks you know, Phil, we don't fuck about tuning up."

(off mic) "Right right right right"

BS: "Ok".

(at end)

BS: "Woo! I wrote that song about Vietnam, but it was a long time since I was there, not many people know that I was over there."

Someone calls out for 'World In Motion'. Haha.

_Krafty_

BS: "Okay, light a match."

BS: "All right, you fucking animal(?) Stephen Morris! A first time for everything."

_1963_

BS: "Chill out a bit, we're going to play a very sensitive song now, for those of you who are sensitive in the audience. Do we have any sensitive people in the audience? Currently everyone. This is a beautiful sensitive song, so bear with us, and we'll play the rough stuff afterwards."

The song concludes, and Bernard gets into a long speaking bit.

BS: "Thank you. Are you enjoying yourselves so far? Is there a big welcome in the South for Manchester. Well, it's only me from Manchester, he's from a place called Macclesfield [drum crash] which is not the nicest place in the world. Actually, I'm from a place called Salford, which is eh...Macclesfield has a distinction [drum crash] for being voted the most uncultured place on the planet, and Salford has the distinction for being voted the most violent place on the planet [more Steve drums] so it produced us. All right, not very funny, but interesting. Er, Di, we're getting a bit of ringing up here, don't know if it's from Phil's wedges, you know what it's like, these fucking rock guitarists, everything's got to be twice as loud as everything else.

"Di", of course, is Diane Barton, who at this stage was handling the mixing desk.

_Bizarre___Love___Triangle_

BS: "Okay, ... the start of [this]?"

Ends in a woo.

TC: "Thank you."

_True___Faith_ follows.

lyric: "We are afraid of what is real..." instead of "they're afraid of what they see" or "they're taking drugs with me."

BS: "Thank you."

_586_

BS: "All right, it's not bloody Level 42, you know. Ready?

[Bernard then says a few words I can't make out]

BS: "This is for Stuart!"

Somebody near the taper is practically ventilating, exclaiming, "Fookin' hell...what song was that, what song was that, they've never played that... Jesus Christ...fookin' hell, oh my God."

_The___Perfect___Kiss_

BS: "Di, I can't have people whistling, I got a little bit of feedback on the PA. The audience are deliberately trying to confuse me. Can any of you whistle?"

[People go ahead and whistle]

BS: "So it sounds like feedback. Bastards! Sort it out, love."

_Temptation_

BS: "Just give us a second to tune up, will you? Now don't all shout at once, because we can't understand what you're saying up here. One at a time, please. How about you over there first? 'Fuck off, you Mancunian cunt!' Right. All right, if it's going to be like that, we'll just get right on with it... right, Steve. Start the engines."

(at end)

BS: "Thank youuuu!"

Encore break follows.

Alan Wise takes the stage.

punter: "You fat bastard!"

AW: "Bad Lieutenant, what a band. What a band Bad Lieutenant are. But not as good as the Beatles and the Stones, of course, or Max Bygraves. But they're pretty good, not as good as Max Bygraves, who I like, or Trotsky, who used to play this hall. You know Trotsky, the revolutionary? He used to play this hall. Look, I'm going to get the band back for you a bit...but...I'm a bit riled up, they've not been paying me very well, which is why some people have left. They've not been paying me, so if everyone can give a pound to the doorman on the way out, that's thirty thousand pounds I'll get, and if you can just do that, you'll get the group to come play again for about twenty minutes. Is there a deal? [cries of both 'Yes' and 'No'] Is there a deal where you'll give a pound to the doorman for Alan? And that way the band can play a bit more. And they're just in the khazi at the moment, in a Napoleon trap. And I think a couple of them have fixed it up. And one's snorting something. And I don't know what Bad Lieutenant are doing, but they're all getting ready again. So, I want you to start a rhythmic chant, shouting the name that you so admire that I've forgotten. What's the name of the band? [indistinct shouts] Would you like them back? Well, here they are for you, New Order!"

BS: "You said five minutes."

_Blue___Monday_ follows.

BS: "Thank you! Hope you've had as great a time as we have, and that you're going to have a fantastic Christmas and New Year and all that shit, and the shopping and all that shit, and the snow and the rain. This is _Love___Will___Tear___Us___Apart_."

Which concludes the set, "c'mon"'s and all.

BS: "Thank yooouuuu! We'll be back. Even without Freddy Mercury."

taper: "Too many 'come on's. Four."

I only counted three, but I have to admit blanking out a bit after that.
