New Order Recall Their Historic Boston Performance From 1980
New Order have reflected on their Boston roots, recalling a September 1980 performance at The Underground — one of their earliest American shows, performed only months after Ian Curtis's death. Playing seven songs including 'Cries and Whispers' with Stephen on vocals, it marked their début as a reformed band in the US. They returned to Boston in 2022 during The Unity Tour, opening with 'Regret'.
In September 1980, New Order played The Underground in Boston, one of their first American shows. It was only months after Ian Curtis's death, and the newly reformed band performed seven songs including 'Cries and Whispers', with Stephen on vocals.
