New Order live @ Hammerstein Ballroom - NYC (USA) - 2005.05.05

Hey all--just wanted to say the show was absolutely, flippin' amazing. I have probably waited a good 10 to 15 years to see the band (young 'un here) and the show totally lived up to expectations. Temptation was beautiful and i danced my feet off. The new stuff sounded great as well. My buddy and I were even able to get into the after party at the Hira Bar or whatever it was called and had a great time as well. However, due to the general debauchery and drinkage, somehow I lost the t-shirt I had purchased at the show. i know it sounds cheesy, and i know its a long shot, but would anyone know how i could get my hands on a new one? it put a damper on the event--a tiny bit when i woke up (he he) and realized it did not make it home with me. i'd even pay the band for a new one. anyways long live NO

Just a shout to peeps from buffalo. Im originally from buffalo and now live in brooklyn. Glad to see you traveled 400 miles for new order.

after seeing that article, i think dennis and lois are who i saw on the balcony?

was he wearing a salford tshirt?

"i spotted an elderly man with a salford tshirt.

relatives of new order?"

I saw him, and had the same thought...now I know it was Dennis and Lois...can't believe it was them.

Hi all, I think I'm a little late, but I just wanted to say that the show was awesome (obviously!), and that it was great meeting up with so many of you at TGIF before and at Hiro after the show. A great show, and great company!

:D

Client however, the only reason I know this band is because they are managed by Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode.. otherwise...

Surely you mean the only reason you've heard about them is 'cos Al Jarvis drools over them repeatedly in this forum???!!!

You should check 'em out: great groop.

I know this has nothing to do with the subject of this post, but does anyone remember the name of the DVD compilation that was just released that had New Order and various other bands such as The Wake on it? I think it was called "Umbrellas...." or something like that. Also where can I find it?

Umbrellas In The Sun.

Released on LTM, think the site is www.ltm.com but a google on "LTM" will give it you.

LTM's website.

I just ordered the DVD! Thanks for the info! I am so excited to see it!!

Check out this NPR article about the couple.

And Dennis was wearing a "Salford" T-shirt? That may explain why Hooky's rig had "Salford Lives" spraypainted on it.

You checked out Client and Ladytron yet; DJ ;)

Actually I was listening to both while reading NOOL yesterday... ;) Great suggestions, they're both really good! The downloading is going a bit slow (I think I'm one of the last people on earth with a 56.6kbps modem...), but I'm hoping to check out some more this week so I can play it on my next show. If you have any other musical suggestions, I'd love to have a listen, you can drop me an e-mail if you like/have a chance, my address should be in my profile. :)
