It was Area One. Moby brought New order to Vancouver, Canada (their only Canadian date in like, what, 8 years or something?) it was raining when the chimes of 'Atmosphere' began to drip from the speakers as the fans of The Roots realized New order was not another rap band. It was my first, and probably will be my only time seeing them... Moby also brought Hybrid with him on a previous tour. Nice guy, too.

[i]The first gig is at the Palace,i remember the first single it was "In a lonely place", congratulation to Morris,i never seen a drummer playing so fast like him, he was really terrible;i was accompagned with a friend and this one told me Gilian was a boy not a girl,a dispute with him happened just for that confusion ,later he told me he seen curtis fall down on the backstage and the at london before "closer", i m sure he lost his glasses

Moby, up his own arse, ala Robert Fripp :) :)
Heaven, or rather, the soundcheck when they played Joy Division instrumentals... Puts the current situation regarding 'Control' into perspective - about the vocal question - 2006 New Order should do JD instrumentally. Anyway, Heaven was a duff gig, even though Hannett was at the mixing desk (was he, on any other occasion?). Had to wait till Nottingham Rock City in April 81 to see New Order really cut it, like quicksilver, so nominate that one as "my first New Order gig"
my first new order gig will be the concert in MEN. New order played in Spain last year but i couldn´t go. I will arrive to manchester friday 27th and i,m very nervous. i hope see you there.
08.02.86. Royal Court, Liverpool. Highlights? The Perfect Kiss and Sunrise and a surprise for it's time LWTUA.
GMEX '88 - Mondays & ACR as support. Blew me away with TBTHOG and True Faith - and also Fine Time. Roll on Saturday - half as good as Apollo in Oct and it will be fine!:)
Gee this is starting to make me feel old! I saw NO for the first time in Los Angeles, California 1989 or was it 88. They played two nights at the Universal Amp Theater. I actually went to both nights. The opening act was the Throwing Muses. I remember this concert because I just received the license plates to my car " NU ORDR". I also remember seeing NO at the Irvine Amp. NO played with the Sugar Cubes and P.I.L. This was before Bernnie needed a Tele Prompter for classic NO hits. Yes I noticed this at the April 28, 2005 concert in Oakland, California. Nonetheless, were would music be today if not for NO.

14 february 1987, selinas sydney. i was in the very front row. hooky was close enough to hit me on the head with his bass, if he had wanted to, so i was on my best behaviour

How much did you pay for your number plate?

don't be calling me sir.
top gig. i only managed to get a copy of it last year. i would have had one much earlier if my mate's recording walkman hadn't been broken in one of several audience crushes.
ManchestervCancer was the first time I saw NO - does that count though, seeing that they only played JD? I got into NO because of JD, so I loved the set anyway. Great to see Shaun Ryder and Bez again as well. I was just thinking "If John Cooper Clarke was here, I would have seen all my (living) Manchester (Salford, really) heroes in one night" and who wandered on stage? JCC himself!!!
Olympia, Paris, Nov 2001!
I am French and considering that NO hadn't played In France since 89... Awesome gig though!, specially YSF and Crystal!
Atmosphere - Romeo and Juliets, Sheffield, 22 April 1981. First time in Sheff as NO, though I saw JD supporting Buzzcocks at the Top Rank in 1979. I must admit I had gone to see the Buzzcocks really, but JD blew them away and I've loved 'em ever since!
Ahh... the disadvantages of being young. I have yet to see New Order live. I got into them not a month after they completed their North American tour. Because irony rules my existance. It just makes me all the more antsy with hopes for another tour sometime in the future. <3

I actually flew in from Florida to see them that friday night! Man...i was so psyched!!
My very first NO concert was at the Shoreline (Near SF) for their Republic Tour (with 808 State). That was an AWESOME concert. I remember the band before them could not finish their set because they were having some sort of technical problems. When they announced they would not be able to finish... They received a standing LOUD ovation in prep for New Order taking the stage sooner then expected...If I am not mistaken, they played a wider variety of songs compared to the Henry J Kaiser Gig. Didn't Bernard jump off the stage or something (cant remember if he was runnning and seemed like he jumped off or if he actually jumped off).
Actually B injured himself when he did a jig on the stage, as I recall. I don't think he actually jumped off, since I was right in front of the stage and I think I would have seen that pretty clearly.
Damn, that was a good show.
Glasgow Barrowlands,9 June 1986, i was only 14 at time,and shittin it in case i never got in
Preston Guild Hall, 1985......the crowd kicked off, but the gig was awesome, NO were supported by Section25 who had just released "From The Hip".
The next one was the biggy: GMEX, 1986...tenth anniversary of punk in Manchester...a dream gig: NO, The Smiths, ACR, Cabaret Voltaire, Buzzcocks, OMD, John Cooper Clarke, John Cale, Howard Devoto, etc, etc.....an awesome alldayer......NO did an (rare in those days) encore.....'Ceremony' with Ian McCulloch guesting on vocals!!!! Genius....
