In addition, MDMArchive reveals that 'Fine Time' was the encore.

Videology 9 is missing the encore tracks. This is the pro shot aired on MTV Europe. Sound is VHS Mono.

Everyone Everywhere and Temptation have been released on NewOrderStory.

They play the songs in the same order as the rest of the '93 "tour", except they open with Regret, and then play RIAD. Very classy, elegant, and well-played performance, beautiful sunburst Gibson f-stop guitar too.

After Regret

BS: "Thank you"

Gillian appears to actually be playing all the synth parts on Ruined In A Day! They seemed to have mixed out Hooky's bass on this song, though. After the song completes, it's another "Thank you" from BS, and then a whoop.

Intro to Dream__Attack_

BS: "This a song called Dream Attack"

Gillian is playing a cherry sunburst Rickenbacker for this song, and plays the lead riffs at the bridge until Bernard takes over.

Nobody's playing the keyboards, since Steve Morris is drumming. :-)

For World, Bernard ditches the mic stands and starts doing some of his freaky dancing, in fact, he misses the first few words of the second verse because of it. Hooky seems mixed out of this song as well, everybody knows about the evil conspiracy afoot that suppress any bass guitar in the Republic material, but I didn't realize it pertained to the live mix too! And yes, another "Thank you" as the song comes to a close.

As__It___Is___When___It___Was_

The caption incorrectly inserts a comma after the "Is". Gillian picks up a black Fender for this song to play the sharp-sounding guitar parts. "Thank you very much."

Everyone__Everywhere_

I suspect the video mix is different than the NOS version. They sneak in a deliciously altered lyric.

"You were once the main attraction/But all that's in your ass."

Gillian's playing a different guitar, a black Fender start with white faceguard. Another "Thank you very much." at the conclusing of the song.

True__Faith_

Bernard starts out playing guitar for the intro. Hooky sings backing vocals. After the chorus, Bernard faces stage right (towards Gillian) and makes a silly fish face.

The usual "They're all taking drugs with me" appears here, too. And another "Thank you very much."

Bizarre__Love___Triangle_

Bernard puts the guitar down and starts walking around with the mic. He's dangerous when he does that.

Temptation

I can't make out what Bernard whispers into the mic befor the song starts. This is the other song that was aired for NOS. Again I suspect that this is edited differently, but would have to run the versions side to side to prove it.

We finally get a clear look at Hooky's shirt. Has a picture of an winged creature in yellow with the caption "Destroy, Inc." The back of his shirt reads "8.7.6" (I think, it's hard to make out) And once again, "Thank you".

The__Perfect___Kiss_

Idiot MTV starts recording the credits over this song. The Montreux Jazz festival was cofounded by Quincy Jones, so that explains how New Order got to play. "Thank you very much, good night."


NO: 10 JUL 93 Loreley Bizarre Festival - St. Goarshausen, Germany

Source is taken from what is referred to as the audience master. Said to be taped with a D6.

Ruined__In__A__Day_

BS: "This is Ruined In A Day"

BS: "Woo! Thank you. Jacko, can't hear me vocals very well here on stage."

Dream__Attack_

Bernard strums a bit while they get ready.

PH: "Here we go! Some bands piss on the stage, we piss on the bands, that's cool."

Feedback throughout the song.

BS: "Thank you."

Round__And___Round_

PH: "Whoa(?), that's a good one."

Bernard says something at 1:39, which I can't quite make out.

PH: "Here we go."

BS: "Jacko, we're getting a lot of feedback on stage here, especially when I go into me monitors."

World

BS: "Thank you. This is a new song off our new album, Republic. It's called World."

Late vocal fade-up obscures first part of first line, but you can still hear it if you listen closely.

BS: "Thank you. What's this feedback, what's this feedback? Thanks a lot!"

Some strumming between songs.

As__It___Is___When___It___Was_

PH: "This is is for all the people who made it from England, God bless you!"

Everyone__Everywhere_

BS: "Eh, this is off our new album, is called Everyone Everwhere...can I have a drink of wine on stage here guys?"

True__Faith_

BS: "All right, we're gonna warm you up a little bit now. This is True Faith."

Has the "taking drugs" bit, which is actually the true lyric it seems.

Regret

BS: "I'd like to dedicate this next song to Paul, who is our biggest fan in Germany, and [?] before we came on. So, hallo Paul.

BS: "Right...thought you should get the guit..."

Hooky's bass and guitar feedback.

BS: "Thank you."

Bizarre__Love___Triangle_

BS: "Here we go."

BS: "Thank you."

Edit can be heard between songs.

Temptation

PH: "This is Temptation, and we all fall so easily for it."

At 4:35 he counts "1-2-3-4" in Kraftwerkian German.

My version has a couple minutes of applauding and stomping Krauts.

Fine__Time_

BS: "Thank you. As [name] to say, 'See you in five years!'.

Ends in Hooky bass solo, shorter than the one on the live version of this on Retro.

About thirty seconds of stomping and shouting.


NO: 29 JUL 93 World Music Theatre - Tinley Park, Illinois (Chicago)

Writeup from tape provided by Drew. Sound is passable, this was recorded using a consumer unit with a condenser mic. Credit also goes to Drew for correcting some of my intrepretations.

Intro is filled with chatter from Drew's sister and her friends, I'll omit details out of respect for their privacy. Can't identify pre-gig music selection... A few times "someone" calls out for Ceremony.

Ruined__In__A__Day_

BS: "Hello"

PH: "We're New..."

A decent rendition.

BS: "Thank you. Thanks a lot."

Regret

BS: "This is Regret."

PH: "Thank you. How are you doing?"

Dream__Attack_

PH; "This one's for all our friends in Chicago, and fuck the rest of you."

BS: "Okay, that's enough."

Sound starts shifting at about 2:15. Drew explains that's when he took a break to use the toilets and asked somebody else to hold the recorder. :)

BS: "'k you."

Hooky says something impossible to make out.

Round__And___Round_

BS: "Okay..."

BS: "Thank you. Thanks a lot."

World

BS: "This next track...is 'World'. If any of you can...[?]"

BS: "Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thanks...[can't make out rest of what he says, and neither can somebody else heard on tape]"

As__It___Is___When___It___Was_

Person on tape recites the title.

Barney repeats the "listen hard I'll make you see" line.

BS: "Thank you. One more sw...[?]"

Everyone__Everywhere_

NO soundcheck a bit afterwards.

BS: "'Q...We'll sc...a bit now..."

True__Faith_

BS: "This is True Faith."

Bizarre__Love___Album_

Hooky says something which I can't quite make out.

PH: "...with us... Our new album..."

BS: "Thank you. Thanks very much."

Temptation

Edit at about 3:15.

Barney sings "it's the last fucking time" here.

Somebody calls out for Atmosphere?!?

BS: "Thank you."

The__Perfect___Kiss_

Bernard changes a couple of lines starting with "I often thought he was...".

Amusing dialogue at the end of this:

"They'll encore with Fine Time according to the New Order mailing list." And so are hopes dashed.

Fine__Time_

BS: "'k you. Our head[?] is in the..."

BS: "Thanks a lot."

Blue__Monday_

BS: "This is...fucking Blue Monday."


NO: 31 JUL 93 Kingswood Amphitheatre - Toronto

This appears on Nicholas LeBlanc's Anthologies 8. Video is shaky distorted single-camcorder shot. Audio is mono, but listenable.

My take on the US '93 tour is that you've seen one of the shows, you've seen them all, due to the constancy of the set list. I went to the Shorleline show, and this looks very similar, having only been a week after.

However, the visuals (light show) were pretty nice, though the '89 tour was probably superior. Bernard's in a power blue shirt and blue jeans

Ruined__In__A__Day_

BS: "Hello" (and after it finishes) "Thank You"

Regret

BS: "This is Regret."

Dream__Attack_

BS: "This one's...(can't make it out)

Hooky's doing backing vocals. Gillian's on guitar, which she's kinda playing.

Round__And___Round_

PH: "Thank you. We're better off sound then, even New Order" (?)

World

Hooky starts dancing at one point, he's all hair and bass in this one. Camera annoyingly zooms in and out one too many times.

As__It___Is___When___It___Was_

BS: "This is a very old song, ah, it's called As It Is When It Was: (Hooky then says something impossible to make out)

After Everyone Everywhere:

PH: "Well, we'll see what ????? we are, cuz...[can't make out rest]"

True__Faith_

Gillian is running her hands through her hair and chatting to somebody off on the side at one point.

Bernard sings the "they're all taking drugs with me", as usual.

After the song, he chugs on a drink, and thanks the audience.

Bizarre__Love___Triangle_

More of Gillian running her hair through her hands, several times during the song. She's becoming the Fletch of New Order .;-)

Steve is on synth for this song. The audience overwhelms Bernard's vocals, an example of Canadians going apeshit. To all the hosers reading this, don't feel offended, my wife's from Brampton, Ontario.

After the song's done, BS and SM wave to the audience.

Temptation

BS: "This is Temptation."

Good performance. Another "Thank you".

The__Perfect___Kiss_

Barney leaves the stage about a minute before the song finishes up, handing his guitar to a roadie, as he races off.

Fine__Time_

BS: "This is Fine Time".

Synths can barely be heard in the beginning of the song.

Low pitched voice is defintely Bernard, with vocal processing.

During the break, BS begins to do the funky hand jive dance of his, as well as dancing in circles. It's touching.

BS: "Thank you, thank you very much"

Blue__Monday_

BS: "Okay..."

During the intro, Bernard takes a sip, and moves the mic stand out of the way. On Hooky's amp, you can see "Bass, How Low Can You Go?" as reported by others who witnessed the Republic tour. Bernard goes to help Gillian near the end of the song.


NO: 05 AUG 93 Great Woods Theatre - Mansfield MA

Writeup taken from an MP3 version I had lying around.

Some intro music (sounding techno-like), with a couple of cuts while the taper was waiting for NO to show up.

A bit of feedback at the start of Ruined__In__A__Day_.

BS: "'ank you."

A couple of calls for Temptation and 'Hooky, Hooky!'.

Regret

PH: "How we doin' kids? Yowwww!"

BS: (at end) "Thank you. Thanks a lot. This is Dream__Attack_."

Some muttering around the taper about seating.

Round__And___Round_ follows.

Right before the second verse, somebody asks "are you ok?"

BS: (at end) "Thanks."

World

At the start somebody says, 'I hope you realize they won't play Shellshock.'.

During the second verse, Bernard indeed mumbles something after one of the "how long will it last" refrains.

Indeed, Bernard says "too fucking long" at the end.

As__It___Is___When___It___Was_

PH: "Anyway, it's the last day of our young American tour. Right, as much as we love you, we gotta go home...I just want to thank our crew, thank you, ladies nd gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. All drafts(?) for you."

Bernard strums as he's saying this so it's a bit hard to make out.

Everyone__Everywhere_ follows.

PH: "Thank you, Boston."

And you can hear people talking about leaving if they don't play Shellshock.

True__Faith_

BS: "This is True Faith."

(at end)

BS: "Thank you."

Bizarre__Love___Triangle_

PH: "Okay, we all believe in love, don't we? We all believe in bizarre love, don't we? Yeeah..."

BS: "Okay, Peter."

A/B split at this point.

Tempatation

BS: "This is Temptation."

(at end)

BS: "Thank you."

The__Perfect___Kiss_

The penultimate time they would perform this track.

Edit on tape at this point, as this is the end of the main set.

Fine__Time_

PH: "Thank you very much, it's been a lovely way to finish."

Blue__Monday_ concludes the set.


NO: 29 AUG 93 Reading Festival - England

This is an audience tape from the Reading '93 performance. The radio broadcast (via the Electronic Ecstasy bootleg) cuts out many choice verbal cuts here, the sound quality of the audience boot is OK, if a bit hissy at high volume.

However a complete FULL BBC transcription disc has finally seen the light of day, with amazing sound, easily the best quality recording that is known to be available of the band.

Ruined__In__A__Day_

BS: "Hello!"

This was not audible on the audience tape, or the taper started the recording after the salutation.

(after song finishes)

BS: "Thank you!"

Regret

PH: "Good evening, England? How we doing? This is Regret."

Not present on radio broadcast.

Another thanks from Bernard.

Then follows some actual banter from Bernard...

BS: "Sorry, we've got a bit of a tuning problem up here on stage. I'm out of tune....or maybe everyone else is out of tune with me." Everybody goes "oooh" at the apparent insult.

Naturally not present for the radio broadcast either, unless otherwise indicated assume it's not present.

BS: "Won't take a minute"

(here I presume some roadie's frantically tuning his guitar)

BS: "That's better, this is Dream Attack."

Dream__Attack_ is left off the radio version.

Bernard actually eeps at one point, during the final verse.

BS: "Thank you."

Round__And___Round_

Hooky breathes into the microphone, intoning a sultry "Babyyyyy..."

PH: "I wanna come down and kiss each and every one of you. But I'd probably catch something really nasty."

Thanks to Tracey Spivey for providing the second line!

Annoyingly, the audience starts singing along and humming and the melody. Hooky plays his guts out here, beautiful basslines from the man.

BS: "'k you. Thanks a lot."

Some "Nuuorder, nuuorder" chants.

There's a tape edit, and the sound gets noticably better, with the lyrics louder in the mix. (audience version)

World

BS: "Thank you....Great lyrics on that one."

(the radio version has 'Great lyrics...')

As__It___Is___When___It___Was_

(you can make out the lyrics, at least compared to the LP version)

"How can someone like you be that low?" being one line I've never been able to recognize heretofore this performance.

Radio version has "Thank you".

Everyone__Everywhere_

BS: "'k you...alright."

Radio version has:

BS: "Thank you...this is the last slow one you'll be glad to hear..."

(may be present on audience tape, or not present due to internal edit or A/B switch)

True__Faith_

Of course, can't forget to mention this all-time classic:

"When I was a very small boy
Michael Jackson played with me
Now that we've grown up together
He's playing with my willy."

The 'Michael Jackson' and 'willy' parts are blanked out of the full BBC version.

(after song completes)

BS: "Here we go..."

Bizarre__Love___Triangle_

Literally everybody starts to sing along.

Another round of "Nuuorder, nuuorder" chants...

BS: "Thank you. Don't believe all you read in the papers...even if I say it."

(The radio broadcast has this edited to have this appear it was said at the end of TF, as it doesn't include BLT)

More chants for the group.

Temptation

(on the audience version, somebody says something like 'the shit(?) goes down' over the PA...weird)

BS: "Muchas Gracias."

The__Perfect___Kiss_ follows.

Fine__Time_

(the wait between the encore is edited out)

BS: "Thank you. This is, eh, Fine Time."

Unique intro bass riff I've not heard in any other version, which is repeated throughout the song. I suspect that, since I didn't notice the same during the audience recording, this may have been added in the studio for the radio version.

Bernard whoops at the end.

BS: (at completion) "Thank you."

Blue__Monday_

BS: "This is that fucking song again. But hey, it's our biggest hit!"

A song introduction for the ages. Naturally, the first sentence is absent in the radio version, but is present in the full BBC version.

And there's more of that wonderful whistling...

Song ends with a bass solo, and feedback, as the crowd finishes up by chanting like football hooligans.

Kevin Maidment reports:
