Slightly more of an effort than they did in 2001/2 or 1998 or 1993 then?!
I'm gonna miss the old buggers.

Poor Jarvo. Worth it for EGG though surely?
I can think of a few songs I would've preferred but, yes, suppose when you get the same tranche of numbers week in, week out, then it's always good to see something 'new' appear instead of just a random change in track order. EGG in France was a particular touch cos it only appeared to have been added after Gary and Alex had words with Barney in the press conference, and then I said something similar outside.

Actually, this one sounds better live... 
Never thought my mini gig tour would throw up a better experience than Barcelona, as Barca was like a NOOL holiday with a gig thrown in for good measure!!
But im afraid musically Brittany blew it away.
If getting my photo taken with Barney wasnt good enough we get EGG dedicated to us and added to that the feeling of not knowing when or indeed if we would ever see them live again it made it for an unforgettable experience.
Good work lads 
thanks for the memories! :D
que sera - sera...

Not knowing if we'll ever see them again?? Hardly a new sensation for your average New Order punter, I reckon.....

Fook me, Jarvo et al.. for the money some of you 'ardcore spent this summer you could have bought half my shitty terraced street 
How your lasses (Ness exempt)let you all get away with that much flexi time/cash still doesn't register with moi.
Bloody commendable all the same tho 
I've managed to see New Order for the first time in my life, after having been a fan for 19 years, in Turin on July the 2nd. It took me an average croatian monthly wage, seven trains, three countries and four days. They were beautiful, just beautiful. The only problem is, it's addictive and now I want more.

Congratulations! Did you wear your t-shirt? I was surprised Nevena didn't go to that one seeing as she went to Germany in 2001 to see them.

Of course I wore the t-shirt ! I've got some pictures here:
Actually, I thought Nevena was in England already, otherwise I would have asked her if she would have liked to come along. I'll mail you both all the photos if you'd like them. I've been planing to write a thourough review and the whole story of my trip, but had some really big exams, but I'll probably write it this week.

you win. 
my one gig this year was NYC: the crowd were crap, but i met a terrific lad from croydon and a lovely mitchell bruv lookalike (from the UK show eastenders), drank the most equilibrium-destroying long island iced teas i've ever had, enjoyed a wild and wacky taxi ride peppered with the occasional chunder break, visited some of the lower east side's lovelier housing establishments with the aforementioned two vikings, and peed in a viking's toilet.
17 gigs in just one year!? 
Congrats, Mister! Just something I'll never be able to achieve, not even in the next 5 lifetimes!

Er, nope. I think that's been taken out of context. I was referring to the fact that New Order have done 17 gigs in one year, and no two setlists have been the same.
And they were getting better at each gig it seems.. a shame really that it's over, let's hope for something more "intimate" for next year.

Wow, did you really get up to 17. Can you remember each one in detail or has it all blurred into one?
Doing five was amazing and has Don has already commented Brittany was an amazing finale.

Nope, I never said I'd done 17 gigs this year, I was saying that New Order have done 17 gigs this year ... and no two setlists ended up the same!!

Give. Me. Strength. 
So, I'll have to choice but to cross the pound next time to see what's so different about the crowd.
Is it because it's a festival or because americans are just like that.. can't really say hehe, true that gigs in Montreal are a little more "active", but still...

If you dig out the US gig threads, pompeyorder's comments pretty well capture it.

Aaah! Bloody hell you are having a hard time with this thread, I have a hangover as an exuse :(
Ok so I only did 4 in europe but heres my verdict
Best Crowd = Barcelona
Best City = Dublin
Best Stage = Barcelona
Best Atmosphere = Hyde Park
Best Band Performance = Brittany
Best Travel = Hyde Park
Worst Travel = Brittany
Best Beer in Gig = Hyde Park
Best Beer After Gig = Dublin
Best Weather = Barcelona
Worst Weather = Hyde Park (Glastonbury 
)
Best Setlist = Brittany
Friendliest Crowd = Dublin
Don't think I'm in a position to give overall impressions, unfortunately. I shall say though that the Audley prior to Hype Park (sic) was a cracking afternoon (pity the gig couldn't live up to it), and that the whole Brittany weekend will live with me for a very long time as the best sort of NO experience. I shall be trying to forget Werchter though!
