Funniest gig?

The interjections of Feargal Sharkey appealing for money made me think it was Live Aid. The set list on the back of the bootleg did say 1984, but no source, and the producer was Mark Radcliffe which made me assume BBC Manchester.

Having said all that, it's still a classic in Barney Angst.

Sorry if i came across as a bit "superior knowledge".Wasnt my intention at all.Just thought i'd enlighten you on that particular gig.It does seem to get confused a lot as being a Live Aid thing.

I'm surprised no one else went for the Hammerstein show. I think it's hilarious. Maybe it's my twisted (and more than a little New Order guided) musician's sense of humour, that makes the deliberate murder of so many innocent songs, interspersed with such blatant attempts to offend the audience (this is obviously a relative term, blatant OUTSIDE germany i mean), all beautifully crafted to render the show utterly unreleasable. It reuly is a masterpiece of uncooperative bastardness. I love New Order.

BTW, which one of them sings SLC like "Anne Elk" (high pitched monty python voice). I was sure it was Hooky, but someone else said it was barney, I wouldn't think the Barnster could pull such a voice off as it only works if you totally fail to hide the fact yer a big gruff man. I can't check just now cos one of my HD's went baps up a month or so ago, and I've no room for a local New Order gig library just now.

Very hot temps...bad traffic jams..and bad drugs by the look of it.

Yeah I watched that in 84.I've recently got In A Lonely Place from that performance on download.."Speed it up a bit,Steve...it's a bit faster than this". Oh and the kiss-off to BBC,on BM for probably being told not to swear on live TV before the watershed."Though I'm quiet sure that you'll tell me...what the fcuk I should do"

It was " What the fuck WE should do", just thought I would clear that up !

I think most the shows from 2001 onwards are funny, I mean needing an auto cue for songs like Temptation, Ceremony etc.:D

Prefer the improvised versions myself.

I dunno, every time I see that tardoprompt I think of that Victor Lewis Smith sketch about frank sinatra going senile...."that's why that's why the gerbil is a lamp"

And weep that maybe Barney fears that, and that somehow, he doesn't know he's been doing it since 1980.
