Recently obtained an audience recording for this show which is an amalgamtion of first and second-generation recordings. The first gen was done with an Aiwa recorder and presumably built-in mics, since it has a narrow stereo field typical with those sorts of units.

Scan of ticket: https://www.mdmarchive.co.uk/artefact/aid/16179/NEW_ORDER_TICKET_1989.html
The tape starts off with a couple minutes of 1988-era techno which at some point I'll try to identify. As it plays, fans cheer the band coming onstage.
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_
BS: "Thank you very much, we're New Order."
(at end)
BS: "Merci beaucoup".
Ceremony follows.
True__Faith_
BS: "Thank you, this is True Faith"
There's echo on Bernard's mic, causing the last words to be repeated.
Here, he sings "they're afraid what they see" but adds, "That's the drugs we all take" on the following line.
The song inexplicably cuts out midway! There's a substantial pause, followed by an edit, and then the house PA blares A Guy Called Gerald's "Voodoo Ray" while (presumably) the band sort out the technical issues.
According to 'hedfro hedfro', who was there, this was due to a power cut.
Subculture then is played, the penultimate time that New Order would play this song live.
BS: "Thank you.
Something beats against Bernard's mic.
Dream__Attack_
BS: "Er, We're gonna play a new song now, off our new album. It's called "My breath smells like garlic."
1963
Bernard addresses the technical difficulties they've been having.
BS: "Thank you. Please bear with us. We'll do everything we can to make sure you have a good night.
Vanishing__Point_
BS: "Thank you. We're gonna play a new song now, it's called Vanishing Point. I know you don't understand anything that I'm saying, but it doesn't matter, does it?"
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
Hooky says something about wanting more of that, hard to make out, as this and the succeeding three tracks are taken from a poorer-quality source.
Huge squeal of feedback.
PH: "Thank you."
Age__Of___Consent_ follows. Lots of audience participation where this was taped, at one point the clapping is louder than the music!
Temptation follows.
The__Perfect___Kiss_
BS: "Well, I don't know what to say because I can't speak French. I can't even speak fucking English. So good luck and all the best. This is The Perfect KIss."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you, good night."
Encore
True__Faith_
Guitar strum.
BS: "We're gonna..."
Can't make out rest, presumably it was addressed to playing True Faith again, since their first attempt didn't go well.
Fine__Time_ closes out the set, as the tape ends abruptly.
Great lightshow, Barney's wearing a white Nehru-like jumper...he's all in white. Hooky's on the Shergold being the bass god that he is, and Gillian and Stephen are doing
Vanishing__Point_ is played.
Round__And___Round_
(at the end)
BS: "Thank you."
Run
At the end, Bernard states, "I'm sorry, but that's all we can do."
Placeholder entry. More to come.
According to Colin Kerr
> Thanks for your replies etc. I've had a look at the Gigography and its some > work. I was looking at the tracklisting for a concert I was at and of which > there is a bootleg MP3 on CDROM (that anthology1-8 person) and the tracklist > is wrong. The concert being Glasgow 89. But thats just a by note and I'm > not going to kick up a fuss.
And From GaoBest (Mike):

He also reports that Hook made a "cute comment regarding a Michael Jackson cover or something like that". I don't have this in my copy it seems...I have evidence there's more than one mastering of the FM broadcast available for this gig.
And here's a write up!
This is taken from both the FM broadcast (with 'All The Way' from an audience version added on as a bonus track.) and one of the audience versions.
My FM tape case has the following label "F.M. A- Dolby B"...the quality is about second-generation, so the A- designation is accurate. The audience tape sounds like first generation, which I have on a CD GaoBest loaned me.
The tape case has the following printed on it...appears to be a copy of the ticket stub or a flier...

Intro by Alan Wise
AW: "Uh, my name's Rushdie, Salman Rushdie, and I've been asked by Bernard Sumner to read this poem that he's written for you just prior to going on. Are you ready for it?"
(first paragraph only appears on the audience version)
AW: "There was a pop band called New Order. They loved doing concerts north of the border. They listened to Bowie, Velvets, and Iggy... but they simply preferred Sir Henry Lauder... Ladies and Gentlemen, the last remaining pop band, rock band in the whole world, the Western Hemisphere...NEW ORDER!"
(FM version has: "let's introduce to you...NEW ORDER!")
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "One two." (only present on audience tape)
Mr__Disco_
BS: "This is Mr Disco."
This version has samples in it: "Barcelona", etc. delivered with the same vocoder effect has heard on Fine Time.
BS: "Thank you. Have the sequencers up, Charlie!"
Ceremony
After their newest song, why not play their oldest?
GaoBest reports that the audience tape also has the crowd "singing" along to the instrumental beginning in "Ceremony".
BS: "Thank you."
Dream__Attack_
Guitar sound is fab.
BS: "Thank you."
Vanishing__Point_
Audience tape version has a small dropout (right channel mostly) shortly before the 3:00 mark.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Loveless
This song makes its debut here. A bit of strumming beforehand.
PH: "Bernard's got a new album out, you see..."
Vocals are noticably flat, but the instrumentation is good. At various points you can hear a female fan natter here and there (right channel).
BS: "Thank you."
PH: "Eh, getting on Michael Jackson right now...just got it, took a while". The bizarre thing is that up to this point Barney hadn't said anything!
PH: "Yeah?"
Run
The first time New Order play this song to an audience, I believe. More nattering by that same fan at parts.
BS: "Thank you very much indeed. We've not played here in Glasgow for a very long time...well, I don't really know why."
On the FM version, you can hear about 1-2 sec of an announcer saying "There's more live music from...", confirming that this was sourced from the FM broadcast.
1963
"Oh, Johnny do you miss me baby...I will always miss you" emerges as an a capella coda.
BS: "Thank you."
What is interesting is that the audience tape version has tons of echo on the "thank you".
All__The___Way_
This was omitted from the FM broadcast, and is also the debut performance of this song.
Interesting lyrical variation:
"It takes years to be a man...to be apart from what you've done." (the LP has "to find the nerve")
The guitar middle eight is also in a different key, and has a somewhat different sound, if "different" is what you want to call it.
After they're done, Bernard strums his guitar a bit, and then talks to the audience.
BS: "Sorry about that. But I admit that it was shit. The next one's gonna be good through, because it's all done on the computers."
Round__And___Round_ is played and then True__Faith_, which has about 40 seconds or so of tuning up (not on FM version) before the Order start in.
Another long pause (over 30 seconds), of course edited out of the FM version. Consists of lots of guitar noodling.
The drum lead into Temptation is a bit strange, but then somebody turns on the sequencers and it sounds like...well, Temptation.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Thank you. We're trying to make this song obvious, see."
About a minute and a half in Bernard shouts "Turn the fucking bass amp down"...about two minutes and ten seconds, he then says "Turn the bass drum down." A bit later on, after one of the "fall down on my knees and pray" lines, he sneaks in "turn the foldback up" right before the next line. He's really good with sneaking in directions like that.
Near the end of the song, he says "Thank you, good night". Ends in feedback.
(encore)
Edit of announcer saying "Stand by in a few seconds time...for tonight's concert from New Order" (said announcer has a Scots accent, of course)
BS: "We're back."
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_
Lots of funk-style guitar on this one. Ace version.
Bernard leaves out the "before" in the "so desperately before" line.
Fine__Time_
The synth line comes in before TBTHOG comes to a close.
This version is slightly different than the recorded version, as there's a part where Bernard repeats "too young" twice over a bass rift...this may be a remnant of the original version of "Much Too Young".
The vocoder cuts out for a split second, and you can hear Barney's voice! Hooky plays the first bars of the outro bass off key, but shortly gets things back in tune...he closes things out with a solo, with a drum fill coming in before the end, to raptuous applause.
Johnathan Scott writes the following, originally published in Paradise Vol 2.:
"The Noise inside Miami's Knight Centre is colossal. It's two years since New Order played in the USA and those lucky enough to have tickets are demanding the bands presence. As they appear, you just know that this is going to be a special occasion. Opening with 'Dream Attack', New Order are in command from the word go. There is none of the crushing violence that is usually displayed at their gigs, just massed, synchronised up-on-seats dancing. Between songs the voices of the British fans who've made it across the Atlantic can be heard above the American roar, only to be greeted by Peter Hook's comment, "We came 4000 miles to get away from you bastards!" The die-hard Brits are not going to be disappointed however, as 'Ceremony' cries from the ungrateful sod's bass, prompting one smart arse American to ask, "Do you think they'll play any other 'Joy Division' songs?" NO PAL, THEY WON'T.
Tonight, it's disco. '1963' drives the crowd wild. There's something wrong however, Barney's lyrics coming in far too early. The audience don't notice or perhaps even care. The sound is brilliant. They encore with 'Fine Time', Miami explodes. No longer does Barney stand motionless centre stage. Mic in hand, he plays homage to Happy Mondays' Bez with his out-of-time shadow boxing dance.
For most of the punters the night is over, but for those lucky enough to have passes it has only just begon. An 'Aftershow' has been arranged at the 'CLUB NU' on 22nd Street. About 300 guest list, lucky fans, and local radio competition winners cram into what is hailed as Miami's first acid-house disco. It takes half an hour to order a drink and the prices are extortionate but who cares, the music is brilliant and unbelievably alien to the Yanks.
Some time later new Order arrive, not surprisingly without Peter Hook. The remarkable thing is that the band are still quite faceless and are unnoticed as they mingle with the unsuspecting crowd. For Stephen Morris this can only be described as thankful. A brilliant drummer he may be, but dancefloor skills elude him almost completely."
[spelling errors, including the first name of the author, corrected]
Johnathan Scott writes the following, originally published in Paradise Vol 2.:
"The American audiences can very dramatically from gig to gig. This is demonstrated in Gainsville (a college town), and the last date in Florida. Although many thousands of people have come to the vast O'Connell centre, there is none of the 'ladishness' shown in St. Petersburg. The audience aren't completely calm but there not far off it. This is no reflection on the bands performance however which is one of the most exciting I've seen. Peter Hook is really getting into it tonight. At one point he goes so low his bass strikes the stage so sharply that within a few seconds it has to be replaced. Even though the band are un-polished onstage the atmosphere they create is electric. Barney neels down at the front of the stage screaming the words of 'Bizarre Love Triangle'. He even acknowledged some fans in the crowd.
They have proven that they really can entertain constantly with these gigs and it can only be hoped that British fans can expect more of the same in the near future."
[spelling errors, including the first name of the author, corrected]
A remastered version of 'Silence' is now available, thanks to Drew Crumbaugh. I'll be using that version to complete this writeup.
Loveless is also available off of MP3 dub off 'Decadence', available on New Order Anthology Disk 2. Some of the other tracks are also available off a parallel set of MP3s I have of various Technique live tracks found on Soulseek.
There's also BV's Sony D3 recording...
Fine__Time_
Still, nobody has a clear idea what the vocodered voice is saying. (since revealed as 'Esctasy')
BS: "Thank you. That was 'Fine Time'. Now we're gonna play...a different song."
Dream__Attack_
I like the intro, with its paired acoustic/electric guitars.
Ceremony
BS: "'Q, what Stevie m.... , steal it back." [not sure what he says here]
Punter comments that he liks Shellshock.
Run
Some noodling as the song starts up...the intro drum comes in strangely.
BS: "You work your way to the top of the world / Then you break your balls in two"
The Order then proceed to perform Vanishing__Point_.
BS: "Thank you...woah, woah, whoa...woah."
Then a bit of a silence, followed by Your__Silent___Face_.
Loveless
A girl asks "need a light?" before the band start in.
I had speculated that the 'Silence' CD was mastered from vinyl or has a prior vinyl release based on some crackling I heard on this track, but that seems to not be audible in Drew's remaster.
This is the same version as BV's recording, which I think is otherwise different than the 'Silence' recording. There's an edit after this song there.
Mr__Disco_
The MP3 of this has this very annoying chattering throughout.
There's also annoying digital skips throughout on the MP3 compilation version. The live version of this track features vocodered bits in different language.
BS: "Fire the bass sequencer, side(?), anyone."
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
Diginoise between 1:05 and 1:22 of Drew's version not present on my original copy.
BS: "Thank you."
Temptation follows.
The__Perfect___Kiss_
BS: "Charlie, get Hooky's bass on the side fill."
True__Faith_
BS: "Sorry we took so long to come back on stage but when you didn't cheer we thought you didn't want us. So then we took some cocaine. So that's why we're back."
(hard to make this out)
Features the "Now that we've grown up together, they're all taking DRUGS with me" line and "a valued destiny that comes to fuck all" as lyrical variations.
BS: "Thank you."
Johnathan Scott's account, from Paradise #3:
"We've missed 'Throwing Musses' (this is half of the tour's support) and within minutes New Order appear on stage introduced by Andy Robinson (major tour member). Straight into 'Fine Time', the sound is brilliant, and the audience (some are very young) are treated to a display of New Order at their very best, (best behaviour as well!" 'Your Silent Face' without swearing and amiable inter-song chat. Until the end that is. The band leave the stange and it looks as if there's no encore but ten to fifteen minutes later they reappear and Barney addresses the slightly depleted audience; "Sorry we took so long to come back on stage but when you didn't cheer, we thought you didn't want us. So then we took some cocaine and that's why we're back." A good reason if ever there was one!
'True Faith': "When I was a very small boy, very small boys talked to me, now that we've grown up together, they're all taking drugs with me. That's the price that we all pay when valued destiny comes to f*** all...."
This is the best version of 'True Faith' I've heard and probably the best I'll ever hear."
'Face Up' taken off MP3 dub of 'Decadence' bootleg, which appears on New Order Anthology Disk Two. Other sources have appeared since then of the entire show.
The sound is pretty crummy, which could be due to the original source, but according to Jonathan Scott's account, the sound desk was having major issues. Read on:
"New Orleans: Talk about 'Welcome to the Jungle'. The Saenger Theatore is in the cities French quarter is tonight's venue, and what a place. The area is a bit rougher than I think most of you would like. Parking your car in a spot where it will almost definitely get stolen, we make our way inside. Once again, we miss the 'Throwing Muses' and before long New Order enter stage left. The audience are a bit lethargic and this is highlighted when Barney askes one of the security men if he will dance.
'Your Silent Face' and 'Blue Monday' are tonight's treats but the sound desk seems to be damaged and loud electrical crackles plague the gig. Unfortunately the car has not been stolen. This means I have no reason not to drive to Gainsville the same night. No fun. Within a couple of hours I'll be arrested for speeding in Alabama then miss my flight to Miami.
Fine Time!"
Announcer: "Yo, Fat Harry in the house here. Hello to all of you in the French Order. Put your hands in the air for FUCKING NEW ORDER!!!". This truly has to be heard to be believed.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Thank you, Harry. A very good friend. We're New Order and this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
Dream__Attack_
(at end)
BS: "Thank you!". Brief bit of guitar strumming.
Ceremony
A bit of guitar strumming between this and the next one, All__The___Way_.
Vanishing__Point_
(at end)
BS: "Thank you".
Loveless follows. They'd stop playing this one shortly thereafter.
Your__Silent___Face_
You can actually hear talking over the PA about the various 'electrical failures'. I'd assume this was CB radio getting picked up inadvertently, and part of what Jonathan above was referring to.
voices: "Can't hear anything...hello...hello...Here?...yah...miller miller' 'Here? Yah...something's wrong because..."
Mr__Disco_
BS: "This is Mr Disco..." (in Mexican accent) "Meestah Disco".
BS: "Muchas Gracias".
Most audience recordings have the A/B split here.
Round__And___Round_
(at end)
BS: "Yo!"
Face__Up_
You can definitely hear crackle through the PA with the bass drum.
Bernard whoops a couple of times.
He sings "I don't care about your hair" instead of what he usually sings. Probably due to forgetting the lyrics.
The guitar near the end of the song seems very out-of-tune, but isn't mixed very high.
Temptation follows.
Blue__Monday_
More crackle.
BS: "Let's get these people rocking in the front. And the security guys as well."
lyric: "If it wasn't for your big penis, I'd be a heavenly person today."
There's a long (must have been well over ten minutes) break between the main set and the encore...one audience version does capture about half of this.
Fine__Time_
Fine guitar squall at the start of this.
The__Perfect__Kiss_
BS: "Thank you. This is the last song we're going to play tonight, and it's called Perfect Kiss."
Unusual in that it starts out with the female moaning sample. Apparently they were having issues getting this going, as it doesn't look like they had intended to play this at all, but I guess they figured New Orleans deserved it.
BS: "We're just waiting for it to load into our computer."
Mentions "big fat cock", of course.
Second-gen source (Sony WM-D3). Sound isn't particularly great.
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_ starts the set.
BS: "Hello, we're New Order."
Ceremony
After the "Forever, where did he go?", Bernard quips:
BS: "He fucked off back to England, that's where he went."
BS: "Thank you, wer're going to play a song off Technique now called Dream__Attack_. So make this mic a bit higher".
Steve plays the drums, and then pauses for the click track to start.
Run follows.
Vanishing__Point_
BS: "Thank you. We're going to liven things up now by playing a couple of slower songs."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
1963 follows. A bit of a break between this and Your__Silent___Face_ and Mr__Disco_.
Round__And___Round_
(at end)
BS: "Thank you". There's a dropout at this point.
Temptation
BS: "Temptation."
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_ follows.
BS: "Thank you."
The__Perfect___Kiss_ concludes the main set.
BS: "Thank you. We always get asked why we don't do encores. Of course we do, and this is Fine__Time_."
Taken from MP3 dub of 'Decadence' bootleg LP, off New Order Anthology Part Two. Also have these in a "technique live" collection I got off Soulseek. Sound is very good.
Dream__Attack_
BS: "Hi, we're New Order"
This version has a lot of soaring keyboards. Volume goes down at 2:20 mark.
BS: "'k you. Where are the sequencers, John?
Ceremony
BS: "'k you."
All__The___Way_
Nice changed lyric:
"But I don't give a damn about what those fuckers say" (instead of "people")" Glitch in the MP3 at around the two minute mark.
BS: "Thank you. More(?) sequencers."
True__Faith_
After "they're taking drugs with me line", Barney sings:
"That's the the price we all pay / The love when you're taking drugs today"
BS: "Thank you, thank you!" (not sure about last phrase)
Mr__Disco_
Barney Says:
http://www.new-order.net/no/audio/lv/BarneySays/890427_01-GeneLovesJezebel.mp3
BS: "And on another note, I just heard that Gene Loves Jezebel have broken up. That makes me very happy."
There's a distinctive audio sample in this version during the bridge, featuring vocodered foreign-language phrases.
BS: "Thank you."
There's some guitar noodling between Every Little Counts and Vanishing Point.
BS: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much, indeed."
1963
BS: "For those of you who fly...I mean, it's got your own way in life. Los Angeles is a long way from England, and that's where it's gotten, so maybe it won't be so quiet in the future."
(what is he on about?)
Barney Says:
http://www.new-order.net/no/audio/lv/BarneySays/890427_02-TYVM.mp3
Right in the middle, Barney says "thank you, thank you very much, but the song is not finished."
BS: "Thank you"
Round__And___Round_
The sequencers come in a bit strangely, mid-note.
BS: "'k you"
Temptation
A bit of a long pause before they fire up the sequencers for this one. The opening features some nice feedback squalls.
After doing "one-two-three-four", he yells out "uno-dos-tres-quattro!".
BS: "'k you"
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Thank you"
The__Perfect___Kiss_
BS: "Thank you, good night!"
Blue__Monday_
Intros with a unique orchestral sequence.
BS: "'k you"
Fine__Time_
Ends in guitar and bass titterings.
Taken from MP3 dub of 'Decadence' bootleg LP from New Order Anthology Part Two. (bonus track) Sound is very good. Since then, I've gotten an audience version on CD (I suspect this is mastered from MP3 due to the brief spaces between tracks), also very good sounding that due to no fault of its own (besides where the taper chose to stand), suffers from LA Bird Chatter Syndrome, the particular phenomenon where some Valley Girls proceed to constantly talk through the tracks to the dismay of any future listeners.
Ceremony
BS: "Hello, ...feedback(?)"
Can't make out what he says here.
Tape source garbles for about 10 seconds from 0:48.
At about 4:25, one of those birds makes the remark, "I don't understand why those girls are even standing up, they're not even dancing..."
(afterwards)
BS: "'k you...thanks a lot".
A bit of guitar tuning before Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_.
lyric: "never knew it but of course I fucking was"
BS: "'k you."
NO then proceed to perform Dream__Attack_ and Run. For the most part the nattering seems to have stopped.
The end of Run has some guitar noodling.
True__Faith_
Ack, the bird chirping is back, but at least is a fairly low volume.
Hooky says something like "I see your ar..." at around the 2:40 mark.
BS: "Thank you very much, you do. I believe Gene Loves Jezebel have not split up."
Your__Silent___Face_
The levels on the CD drop for about 10 seconds from 0:38 to 0:48.
One of the females proceeds to talk through a part of the song, less noticable on the CD version comparied to the 'Decadance' version.
Barney Says:
http://www.new-order.net/no/audio/lv/BarneySays/890428_01-JustFuckups.mp3"
"No lyrics, no sounds, no beat, no nothing, just fuckups."
And yes, Sumner fucks up the lyrics and doesn't mention anything about pissing up.
BS: "'k you."
Mr__Disco_
A nice-sounding version of this one.
BS: "Thank you."
Vanishing__Point_
BS: "Thanks a lot, this is Vanishing Point. This is where we... [can't make out]"
(MB version cuts at this point, resuming with "a movie...")
BS: "Thank you. This will explain something about that song. Whistle Down The Wind was a film, a movie, about uh, an escaped prisoner, who thought he was Christ."
See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055618/plotsummary
This gives more hints on Bernard's feelings on religion, as if Sunrise wasn't clear enough. Really interesting.
(lots of reverb on Barney's mike, by the way)
Round__And___Round_ is performed next.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "This is Bizarre Love (clears throat) Bizarre Love Triangle."
Lots of cheering here, of course.
BS: "Thank you. Thanks a lot, thanks very much."
The__Perfect___Kiss_
lyric: "The perfect kiss is the kiss of death. 1-2."
BS: "'k you. Thank you very much. That the Edge? Can't dance like that...off a couple of the last of our other songs.
[not 100% sure of this]
Temptation
Bernard does the count-up in espanol: "Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro."
BS: "Thank you, good night". Punter cries for an encore, and by golly, gets one.
Every__Little___Counts_
Hooky says something I can't make out, something like "In a twilight zone." This one gets far more cheering than I would have expected, and folks clap along.
Hooky makes a comment at about the 1:00 mark, something like "all right folks..."
The birds chatter for a bit.
lyric: "I guess I should have known, I'd beat you out a bone."
lyric: "Every second counts when I am fucking you..."
Fine__Time_
BS: "Thank you. Now we're gonna end this set tonight with something a little bit faster than that. It's called Fine Time."
BS: "Thank you, goodnight LA. Wooh!"
Concert ends on Hooky's bass trilling and a single sustained bass note.

It doesn't match any that are listed...AIIWIW was known to have been played only once on the '89 tour, which was 1989-06-29 Marcus Amphitheatre - Millwaukee. My best guess it's either the 1989-06-18 2nd Irvine show or 1989-06-21 Utah, with the latter being a better match considering how the group alternated setlists, even during the '89 tour, which had a narrower palate of songs than any of their previous tours.
Have a pair of sources, one on New Order Anthologies Vol 10, which for a while could be downloaded from neworderonline.com. site. A bad MP3 conversion, so it sounds more watery than it should, but otherwise it's pretty listenable. The other version is from depechemode1993, taped with Sony WM-GX40 + Sony External clip on Mic, and despite my earlier claims is not lossless.
Techno-sounding tune along the lines of Bronski Beat prefaces the set (on dm1993 version, not on NOA v10)
Dream__Attack_
BS: "Hello, we're New Order."
At the end...
BS: "Oh, thank you."
Ceremony
Sombody "oooowws!" about 3:55 in.
BS: "Thank you."
Mr__Disco_
Too bad this was only played during the Technique tour. There's some cool samples dropped in from 2:55 through 3:25...
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_
BS: "Thank you very much indeed."
True__Faith_
A couple of punters scream when they hear this one playing. Somebody tries to sing the first line, and does so...badly.
BS: "Thanks a lot."
PH: "Tonight [???] you're pissed...crowds is it really, hell of a favor." (as best as I can make this out)
1963
A long pause after this and the next song...Steve plays the hi-hat throughout (or else a drum machine is)
Includes bit of extra verse.
Your__Silent___Face_
PH: "Any guesses?
BS: "This is, uh, Your Silent Face."
PH: "Ah, didn't even have to guess, did you?"
Very good opening melodica solo, too.
Both sources has cuts between Vanishing__Point_ and the next song, probably corresponding with A/B flip point.
Round__And___Round_
BS: "Thank You".
Temptation
Has a skip 2:03 in. Probably introduced in the cassette->MP3 dubbing. Another one 3:37 in.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "'k you."
The__Perfect___Kiss_
BS: "One more song...and then (that's it)...this is The Perfect Kiss."
Skip 2:55 in on NOAA version.
Encore...
The dm1993 version preserves the break between the main set and encore, where you can hear somebody (maybe the taper) say that the band did a good job. There's also some other chatter that I'll pay attention to some other time.
Blue__Monday_
Has a very distinctive "house piano" intro, and a few of Barney's weird vocal utterances. This is BM haus stile.
Later on in the song the more orchestral-type strings sounds (that they started using during the '87 tour) makes an appearance.
They segue right into...
Fine__Time_
Features a particularly bad Gillian howler with the intro keyboard riffs (at about 0:21 on the NOA v10 version)
Ear-shattering scream/whistle about 4:01 in.
See http://www.mdmarchive.co.uk/archive/showartefact.php?aid=763&bid=693 for a copy of the setlist.
This is an ATR mixer, the sound is gorgeous, as good as I've ever heard from a New Order live gig. Moreover, there is no tracklist given on Waterrat.
Ceremony
PH: (affecting an Elvis accent!) How you all doin'?
Chiming guitar and bass.
BS: "I'd like to dedicate this set to Pete DeFrietas of Echo And The Bunnymen, who died yesterday."
BS: "Thank you....thanks a lot, thank you." (as he strums his guitar)
True__Faith_
Somewhat interesting vocal delivery from Barney. Bass squiggle at the end
Age__Of___Consent_
This is the LAST time this song is ever performed live (as of Jan 2004).
PH: "Ahhh...". Someone else cries "Okay, Ba..."
lyric: "I'm not the kind that needs to tell you just what the fuck you want me to."
BS: "Thank you!"
PH: (again, Elvis accent!) "How ya doin' kids? So good to see you all, you know. Makes my heart feel good, it truly does."
Bernard stums the gee-tar a bit, and than the Order start up Dream__Attack_. The guitar solo that ends this one is so delicious!
BS: "'ack you."
All__The___Way_
BS: "This is er, All The Way, off, eh, our last album, which is called..."
PH: "(laughs) Technique, Barn"
BS: "Technique, yeah, thank you."
PH: "See, what a fuckin' double act!"
Nice.
BS: "Thank you."
Mr__Disco_
Synth sweep and a little feedback. Bernard whoops. Turns out to be a unique intro to Mr. Disco. The tinkling keyboards are really high in the mix.
More synth sweep and bass at the end.
BS: "Thank you."
Your__Silent___Face_
BS: "Eh, I guess I should do what all the other bands do and say, 'Why don't you come down to the front and enjoy yourself?' Because the security staff will stop you, that's why!"
Lovely echoing whoop after the "piss off" line.
Vanishing__Point_
BS: "Thank you. This is Vanishing Point. Drums up, Charlie...durms.
Round__And___Round_
BS: "Hey, listen right. If you expect me to get into it, you've got to get into it, so... We need a lot of people in front dancing. I know it's a cliche, but it's true."
PH: (to a heckler) "I beg your pardon? You must be English with a turn of phrase like that? You ugly bastard, where's your banana?"
Need filter sweep effect like Everything's Gone Green can be heard in one point.
Audible edit between this and the next tracks, probably A/B change.
Temptation
Fairly aggressive version, with spanish count-up: "Uno, dos, tres, cuatro."
lyric: "No, I've never met anyone as nice as you before."
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Wooo....thank you."
The__Perfect___Kiss_
PH: "Ah well, home time again."
BS: "Thank you, good night."
AllDay__Long_
The last time New Order perform this one.
BS: "Eh, this is a song that we've not played live for a very long time, so, eh, bear with us.
PH: (who interjects at this point while Bernard is still speaking): "Yeah, we're very sor...
BS: "It's called All Day Long."
PH: (interrupting Bernard again) "We're very sorry we couldn't play for long but PiL played for so fucking long we've had to cut our set short, sorry about that."
Thanks go out to Drew Crumbaugh for figuring out Hooky was talking about Lydon's post-Pistol's group, who along with the Sugarcubes, toured with New Order on the second leg of the '89 tour. Also thanks to Shug of NOOL for some other corrections.
Bernard's vocals are flat, but that's ok. Fairly short version, less than four minutes long.
Some guitar jamming.
Fine__Time_
My version has diginoise starting at 2:54, which has been cleaned up in such a way to resemble a new digital effect.

This doesn't quite match up what was previously listed for the gigography:

But I'm tending to want to favor the setlist, since the order above (1) wouldn't have been typical for an 1989 show, and (2) is fragmentary, suggesting that it was compiled from a concert-goer's recall.
Credit goes to David Molyneux for the venue name.
The Cuyahoga performance from six days later is often mistaken for this one.
Not the best notes since the between-song introductions were pretty hard to make out.
MDMArchve has a setlist for this show.
http://www.mdmarchive.co.uk/archive/showartefact.php?aid=668&bid=693
Ceremony
BS: "Hello, this is Ceremony."
Taper or somebody by him says, "We can throw it on there." If this is reference to the recording, it could be that they were interested in taping either PiL or Sugarcubes and captured NO as a bonus.
BS: "The drums are very loud...or something."
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_
lyric: "...because everything I own was lost by you..."
and
"...and I've never looked at you in a sexual way before, you whore."
Dream__Attack_
(at end)
BS: "'ank you."
True__Faith_ follows.
lyric: "...I don't care cuz all I hear is this snare..."
Mr__Disco_
After the vocodered voice starts saying locals, one of the punters near the taper says, "On a computer."
BS: "Thank you. Thank you very much indeed. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank God for playing this snare drum."
punter: "1963 maybe. Maybe 1963."
Your__Silent___Face_
BS: "Anyway, only a joke. This is, er, Your Silent Face."
1963
BS: "Can't read."
(at end)
BS: "Hey crowd, it's disco nightmare from here on."
Vanishing__Point_ gets a very loud audience response. Deservedly so, it's a great song.
Round__And___Round_ follows.
Temptation
At about 3:05, BS yells, "TURN...THE...DRUMS...DOWN!"
The__Perfect___Kiss_.
There's some chatter around the taper at the start of this song. Has a unique guitar-themed introduction.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_ follows.
He throws in a "fuck off, little cunt..." in there.
Bernard's vocals get really strange and syncopated at the end.
BS: "Thank God for the snare at the end."
He clearly doesn't sound like a happy camper and was probably glad to get through it.
Fine__Time_
BS: "Yo! This is...er, what's it called? This is a guitar. And the song I'm going to play on it is a...a little number called Fine Time."
The original source for this is MP3s which I found on the 29anne site. They may still be there. This sounds like a DAT-sourced mix, the vocals are painfully forward, the sound is incredibly good, the performance... this was called "an average day at the E office for Barney".
In fact there are two sources, ultimately of the same origin but EQ'ed differently, one of which being completely digital but with some of the between-track fun edited out, the other (sourced in the same was as the other ATR/Stash tapes) having gone through at least one analog generation.
Round__And___Round_
Starts off with a little bass before the sequencers.
BS: (at about 2:30) "Charlie, would you put me in the side fill(?)"
and
BS: (at about 3:27) "Synthesizers, Eddie."
At the end, Barney says "Thanks a lot."
DreamAttack
The guitar intro's a bit off.
Ceremony
Barney's mumbling his vocals on this one, and screws up the lyrics on the first verse, singing lines out of order.
lyric: "Forever...where did we go?" Barney adds, "Who gives a fuck?"
Run
BS: "All right, now for a lesson in amateur dramatics. Right Steve(?)" [this appears on the ATR version but not the DAT one]
At about 0:07 Barney says "Punk version".
BS: "Well, maybe not the punk version but at least the new wave one."
True__Faith_
lyric: "That's the price we all pay/Everything we need today" (a variation I've not otherwise heard)
Mr__Disco_
lyric: "Ibiza, Majorica, and Benidorm too. I searched all of those places, but never found...a stupid cunt like you."
BS: "Thank you very much indeed. Make the most of it."
Every__Little___Counts_
Sumner must be really off his head, the beginning line is skipped.
lyric: "When I am with you, I think you is a pig, You is in a zoo."
1963
BS: "Thank you."
Vanishing__Point_
lyrics: "Life is short, but this T-shirt's long." and at 2:52, "Rock and Roll" and 3:42, "Jesus loves you. Each and every one of you!" Hilarious.
To add to that, we have "I've seen what a man can do, i've seen what a kangaroo can do too. WOOOOO!" (courtesy of 'Hannett of the Apes', NOOL)
Hooky joins in on the last line, "he never gave in".
The__Perfect___Kiss_
BS: "Thank you. This is Perfect Kiss."
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: (at start) "Thank you."
BS: "Thank you, good night."
Fine__Time_
It's clear from this that the vocodered bit is indeed "Ecstasy", because you can hear Bernard whispering it before the vocoder distortion effects kick in. Ending part has Hooky riffing for thirty seconds. This is CUT from the Retro version, what a crime!

..
(skip favorable reviews of Cubes & PiL)
New Order: a bit of a letdown after the first two bands. I knew what to expect from them going in - very little stage presence - but they did not play particularly well either. I think a big problem was the mixing. The guitar was almost always too low in the mix, like in "Dream Attack". Often the important keyboard parts were also inaudible, like near the end of "Perfect Kiss". Peter Hook looked like he was the only one who was interested in the audience, but I don't think he was too happy about being tackled during "Blue Monday" by a fan. The better tracks, for the most part, were the older ones (pre-'Technique'). Songs off 'Technique' were poor and were shown to be of very little substance. Exceptions to this were "Fine Time" and "Vanishing Point", both of which I thought had a little more zip than the other new songs they played. "Ceremony" gave me a little hope that there might be some bright spots. (I think they were at their best when playing songs that had Gillian come out & play guitar - the straight rockers.) The best song of the night was undoubtedly "Temptation". In fact, it was one of the few songs in which Bernard showed some emotion, along with "Bizarre Love Triangle". I was pleasantly surprised that they played "Every Little Counts". So, rating - performance: C (zero stage presence, poor job on new songs but good job on old ones); sound: D+.

From Daniel.F.McKinnon.III
Subject: NO Live
I saw the show at Great Woods (Mansfield, MA) as well. This was my first New Order concert, as I am a recent convert, but I had heard about their lack of stage presence. So, I wasn't disappointed that they were none-too-animated.
My thoughts on the show:
First of all, Great Woods is famous for having poor acoustics. They added those wooden panels to the ceiling to try to help, but it hasn't done much. Typically, reviews in the Boston Globe cite poor sound at the start of shows, which tend to improve as the sound dude improves the mix as the show progresses. I find that if you are on the lawn, as I was for NO, the amphitheater acts as a speaker horn, and the sound tends to be better. Just an opinion.
Considering what I had heard about their concerts, I was quite happy with the show. Although they don't move around much, they still seem to have a lot of emotion for such an electronic band. And, when they did my favorite, "Bizarre Love Triangle", they really seemed to be jamming.
I couldn't really see what happened when Peter apparently got tackled. A friend and I were joking that he got too animated for the rest of the band, and a roadie came out to restrain him. And when Bernard was showing emotion on "BLT", it looked like he might have been doubled over with a cramp.
I loved the show. (If you can't have a sense of humor about your favorite bands, who can you joke about?)
I have a 128k MP3 of 'All The Way' from this performance, but since have the full gig as seeded by Ryan on STG. Don't know if both are taken from the same source or not, the copy I have sounds like a fairly good condenser mic recording, but with some (actually, lots) audience chatter and singalongs, and, alas, some stutters, which have been noted.
Not the most loquacious we find Bernard here.
Round__And___Round_
At the end, Hooky makes a mewing sound with his bass.
Dream__Attack_
Digital stutter on 'cut' at 1:23 (making it sound like "Cu-cut my heartbeat like a knife")...
A bit of soundchecking before the start of Ceremony.
Digital skip at about 3:03.
BS: "Thank you."
All__The___Way_
BS: "'k you."
Guitar note...
True__Faith_
Digital stutter at 2:56.
Somebody uh-oh's to the start of Mr__Disco_. Some pretty bad singing-along here.
BS: "Thank you."
Your__Silent___Face_
God-awful cawing trying to mimic Bernard's melodica. Has to be heard to be believed. Even worse is somebody who took it upon themselves to sing.
Punter says, "That's all folks!"
BS: "Thank you."
1963
lyric: "For everything you do, I will always feel for you."
BS: "Thanks a lot....one!"
Vanishing__Point_
Another digital stutter at 1:42, right before the "Listen, can you hear him weeping?" line.
A few seconds of tuning before the start of Temptation.
Cut at 4:01, a bit of the "I never met anyone..." lyrics lost.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
Bernard sings "Every time I look at you" instead of "Every time I think of you."
BS: "Thank you." Hooky ends it with some bass. It turns out the really annoying singing is from some French (or Quebecois) individual.
The__Perfect___Kiss_
Digital stutter at 0:56.
BS: "Thank you good night."
The French/Quebecois guy comments they might come back for another two songs. You think?
Tape edit.
Blue__Monday_
Orchestral version. With house piano.
The French guy obligingly inserts the "Oh, this is too much!" bit from BM '88.
Fine__Time_
Interesting ending solo by Hooky.
Outro music I can't identify, female urban voice saying "Werk it!" before it cuts out.
As described by fki:
"Not a good sound quality (noisy, distant, slightly distorted here and there), but not a common recording. Now it seems that this was the last time they played Every Little Counts."
A few minutes of pre-gig music and then enough cheering to drown out the tape.
Including a radio ad from a Philadelphia-area station.
Not much in the way of band interaction with the audience. You have been warned.
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God opens the set.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Dream__Attack_ follows, as does Ceremony.
All__The___Way_
BS: "Thank you, this is All The Way."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
Lots of cheering.
Round__And___Round_
BS: "'k you."
Mr__Disco_
BS: "'k you."
What's believed to be the final performance of Every__Little___Counts_ follows.
True__Faith_ follows.
There's a cut (A/B) point afterwards.
Vanishing__Point_ and Temptation follow.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Thank you."
The__Perfect___Kiss_ wraps up the main set.
Brief break in tape afterwards, followed by about four minutes of crowd cheering, interspersed with edits, so the true break may have been somewhat longer.
Fine__Time_
BS: "Thanks a lot. We'd like to finish this set with Fine Time."
Which they do.
WBL found a reference to an article indicating that New Order played at the Merriweather on 7/15/89. This gig isn't listed in the gigography. Here's the abstract from the article.
NEW ORDER, PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED AND THE SUGARCUBES
Mark Jenkins
July 17, 1989; Page b12
Section: STYLE
Word Count: 272
Despite the suburban site and the pep-rally ambience, Saturday's event at Merriweather Post Pavilion was a punk show. You could tell because the opening act was the best. The headliner was New Order, and it is difficult to wring any spontaneity from the mostly pre-programmed doom-punk/Eurodisco synthesis of the British quartet. The group didn't seem as playful as last year, either. The surprising muddiness of its sound (except for the aorta-rattling bass) emphasized the sameness...
[review excerpt ends here]
In any event, a first generation tape has surfaced, and with it, the full setlist. According to GaoBest, this was taped by someone who wasn't a fan of the group, done with a Sony WM-D3 and built-in mics.
Round__And___Round_
BS: "Hello"
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
Dream__Attack_
PH: "You know there's one in every crowd, isn't there?"
BS: "Thank you."
Ceremony and All__The___Way_ follow.
True__Faith_
BS: "Thank you very much indeed, this is True Faith."
Mr__Disco_
Tape garbles about 2:00 into the song.
BS: "Thank you."
Your__Silent___Face_
BS: "Thank you."
1963
BS: "This is 1963."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you."
Vanishing__Point_
A/B split after this song.
Temptation
BS: "Thank you. Gotta come four or five Jason please." (no idea what he's referring to here)
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Thank you" (with loads of echo)
Little guitar riff.
The__Perfect___Kiss_ closes out the main set.
Blue__Monday_ here has the orchestral-type samples at the start common to that time.
Fine__Time_ of course ends with a Hooky bass vamp.
Source appears to be from the mixing desk. 192kbps MP3.
This is the gig that was originally scheduled for 01 JUL 89 but had to be postponed due to Bernard developing a throat infection (or so it is claimed).
Here's a picture of the ticket stub from the original (cancelled) show: http://stublove.blogspot.com/2010/11/new-order-pil-sugarcubes-july-1-1989.html
Announcer: "...paid to win, for the Detroit Music Institute. And now, New Order!" (recording starts in mid-sentence)
Intro music is a mix of Laid Back's White Horse...
Touched__By___The___Hand___Of___God_
BS: "Thanks for coming back!"
Bernard's vocals sound flat here.
BS: "Thank you."
Dream__Attack_
PH: "It's nice to be back, anyway. Mayday, eh?"
Hooky yells out "Oi!" about 1:58 in.
BS: "Thank You."
Ceremony
Both Barney and Hooky sing the chorus. Pronounced echo on the "Watching..." line.
BS: "Thank you very much."
True__Faith_
Pleasant guitar intro. Vocal for "of the things that cost you too much" during second verse cuts out.
Mr__Disco_
Bernard's vocals being panned to the right is especially pronounced here. Yells "night and day" line. This version has the "Barcelona", etc. samples in it, as well as a bit of balaeric beats.
Your__Silent___Face_
Barney swaps the last line of the first and last verse, meaning that the "why don't you piss off" bit is heard earlier in the song than normal.
BS: "Thank you very much, indeed."
1963
BS: "Thank you."
Vanishing__Point_
Barney says "Tears of sor...tears of sorrow" instead of the correct "Tears of joy".
BS: "Thank you."
Round__And___Round_
Barney can be heard singing to a prerecorded vocal of himself during the last part of the song.
Temptation
PH: (presumably in reference to Barney's mangled intro solo): "Holy heck(?), that is bad.
The vocals, which are pretty bad thoughout this performance (performance-wise, not sound-wise), suddenly get better. This could entirely be due to the way this was recorded, with no treatment of the vocals.
The song ends with a bass solo, and feedback.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
BS: "Thank you."
Perfect__Kiss_
Some tentative guitar noodling during the intro. Guitar riffs different than other live performances.
Blue__Monday_
Has the orchestral sounds typical for 1989 performances of this song.
There's a pretty crummy keyboard solo (wonder if this being played by Bernard) that starts in at 5:25 of this track.
Have parts of a soundcheck from the UKBT source.
The first several minutes consists of drumming plus occasional effects, like breaking glass, as well as the Temptation guitar riff after a couple of minutes. At some point there after, the sequencer pattern can be heard.
Shortly before the 6:00 mark, somebody can be heard to say "Turn the foldback up through the sides", a familiar refrain from the early days of ew Order's live performances, but not heard for years.
Source for the following writeup is ukkevinl's EZT (now DIME) seed, Which is mono. I have since obtained a master clone of this version, which is stereo.
Some house music for about 12 seconds.
Alan Wise, legendary promoter, manager, and compere takes the stage, and issues one of his all-time best remembered introductions.
AW: "Listen, listen." There's a cut at this point.
AW: "Very important to the group. For New Order, for Bernard Sumner in particular, this show tonight is dedicated to one man (punter: "Me!") The money is all for a campaign then. I'm not talking about an ordinary man. I'm not talking about a person like you or me. (punter: "Shaun Ryder") I'm talking about a special man. I'm talking about a man who lives for others. (punter: "Me!") A man whose actions were only ever to improve the lot of his brothers and sisters. [folks start to chant for the band at this point] A sweet man. A generous man. His name...Jeff The Chef. His whereabouts are now at Strangeways Prison in Manchester. His crime his only crime. Bringing a little sunshine in the world. Think of Jeff The Chef, lonely in his cell, as you are free to applaud his friends, their music, New Order!"
Round__And___Round_
BS: "Hello, we're New Order. And we're not breaking up."
Hooky starts talking excitedly right when the track starts.
PH: "Hey, hey, hey...I want to congratulate my brother tonight on the birth of his daughter, so let's go!"
Some stereo field shifts during the first part, including the levels going up at the 3:00 point. (first source)
Beautiful bass riff at the end of this.
Dream__Attack_
PH: "Anyway...with saying...I want to congratulate my brother on the birth of his daughter today. Thank you. I'm sure you'll all join in with me with wishing him every happiness."
The source I have gets much louder at the 3:23 point.
BS: "'k you!". Guitar and bass strumming.
All__The___Way_
PH: "How is it out there...eh? Kinda fucking rough day. Anyone stuck on the M1? (cheers) M25? (cheers) M4? (cheers) Fuck the lot of 'em, that's what I say...[last part dissolves into echo]
ukkevinl version exhibits a bit of chewed-up-ness at the 2:15 point, the master doesn't have this defect.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Punter calls out for 'Ceremony' and 'Transmission'.
Ceremony
BS: "Now we're gonna play an old song now. This is, erm, Ceremony."
The source I have has bleed-through of the reverse side at this point, which is also on the master.
Source gets louder at 3:50 point.
BS: "Thank you."
True__Faith_
Bernard sings, "They're all doing drugs with me." (not taking drugs)
A couple of girls talk at the end of this, and you can hear more bleedthrough.
Mr__Disco_
BS: "Muchas gracias."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you. Thank you very much indeed."
PH: "We'll sing you a lullaby now. Rock a bye... [or something like that]
Every__Little___Counts_
(at end)
BS: "Thank you." Bit of a guitar flourish at the end.
Your__Silent___Face_
BS: "Thank you."
Hooky goes on a bit with the bass. Gillian p
Vanishing__Point_
An all-time classic intro.
BS: "Right...I'm gonna wind all you Mission fans up now. I've seen you all, dressed in black, picking yer fucking noses. What we want is New Order fans!"
PH: (screechingly) "I can't 'ear you!"
(end of song)
BS: "Yo!"
Hooky eeps.
Temptation
Bit of a cold start. Probably A/B flip is at this point.
Glitch at 6:20 or so.
Bizarre__Love___Triangle_
Hooky mutters something after the first verse.
BS: "Thank you."
punter: "C'mon Chris, button your wife up."
The__Perfect___Kiss_
Hooky mutters something hard to make out.
Another classic.
BS: "This is the first festival I've ever played where the band's been more out of their head than the audience."
PH: (hard to make out" "Be quiet...It's not doing us...when you feel good.'
End of main set. Start of encore. Tape edit at this point.
Blue__Monday_
Excellent '89 era "house piano" version (listen at about 5:45 or so).
Fine__Time_
You can clearly hear Barney's voice before it hits the vocoder.
BS: "Thanks a lot, good night!"
Ends in a sound loop...I think this is the point where Hooky is trying to set his bass alight.
