Hammerstein Ballroom show - high point

Temptation was incredible but I had to go with Transmission. It actually got the sticks out of some peoples asses... I enjoyed the whole show but this was my high point.

It's a tie between Temptation and Blue Monday. Temptation was just ridiculous. Watching Hooky play the bass line on my favorite New Order song just two feet from me was an unforgettable experience. But they literally brought the house down with Blue Monday.

I thought they did a fantastic job with She's Lost Control. Stephen and Hooky were jamming like crazy on it.

Temptation for me was the high point. I'm not a big Blue Monday fan, especially after that shite cover that was around in the late 90's, but the version they played ripped it up. Seeing "The Viking" bang on the electric drums was wicked rad.

I still need to experience Ceremony, and Perfect Kiss live. Then I can move on.

Loved the entire show from TGIF to encore. I'm a Jetstream lover. Transmission rocked, as did regret, true faith...........

Had to go with Temptation...first time ever hearing it live and one of my favorite songs of all time.

I thought Waiting For The Sirens call sounded great too.

Transmission had me in a frenzy...arrrgh could go on and on here with "high points"...

I have to go with LWTUA - I thought they pulled it off extremely well and it was perfectly placed within the set.

Now I stand here waiting :\ohwell:

Was Between True Faith and Temptation, i picked Temptation, love Vigilantes was close too.

Honestly, I thought it was "Waiting for the Siren's Call." I think it's a masterful song that has seemingly gotten buried amidst the other songs in reviews of the new album.

WFTSC was one of my very favorites too, probably in my top three.

Oh, absolutely...Love Vigilantes is special, though, partially because it's a great song but also because it was the opener.

high point - the venue - great size - reminded me of the Town & Country or SB Empire in London ( and they wouldn't be able to play one night at any of these any more ) low point - the audience - a tad static to say the least - reminded me of a Simple minds / George Michael gig at Wembley or earls Court - half expected the lighters to come out during atmosphere. First time in the USA for me, so I suspect we've been spoiled in the UK to expect a more proactive audience. Roll on Barca!

Love Vigilantes was a perfect beginning - like a wink to the crowd saying "we know what you want to hear folks." And they delivered. Temptation was amazing, but so were All of the Joy Division songs, especially LWTUA.

Yep, cracking venue,another fifty to a hundred brits and maybe a chance at an animated audience. If I remember rightly Wolfram you're the Hackney chappie.
