Ya.. it was a bit strange split up into JD/NO guitarry songs/NO dancey songs.
Good stuff all round.

Best gig of the last five years at least. 
I fell in love with my band again tonight.
and it was only a little bit down to Darren and Jem 
LONDON ORDER.
Just got back to Soton. Bing wide awake.
Awesome gig, For some silly reason had seated ticket but didn't matter casue managed to get hold of some standing ones. Big hugs for that Chris & Cath.
Doesn't look like we will be there on saturday or sunday so lots of big squidgy Mr & Mrs manic love to everyone that has made these gig s into more than just gong to see a band.
Cheers Chaps
New Order were absolute class tonight. Just when you think they're going through the motions, and expectations are perhaps understandably at a minimum, they go and produce a performance like that. Six JD songs on the spin at the start of the set was so unexpected but sublime all the same. Thereafter, all the old favourites went down a storm, with Ceremony and Temptation particularly riotous, and then to get Love Vigilantes as part of the encore was a major bonus. All in all a top notch performance which certainly rekindled the burning passions in this old heart of mine.
Awesome show, they really went for it and pulled out all the stops. Full credit to 'em. The sound was surprisingly good for Wembley as well, really clear!
Same set tomorrow night will do me fine!!!
Best of luck today Tim, hope it all goes well and just wish I could be there.
Ma heids spinning and ma ears are ringing, too much beer and loud concerts tend to do that.
I'd just like to say to all those who said Wembley would be shite........told ye's :D
What a fucking night. Gotta be up there with the best of the last few years without doubt. The first couple of JD songs and the crowd were stood still, which helped me get to the front with three beers in my hands! But it all kicked off 3 songs in and the place erupted.
The band were fucking magic and so were all the fans down the front. This is a good sign for Wolves the morra. A full story to follow soon when this weekend is out the way.
See ye's all later for more drunken shenanigans!!!!!!
Top fucking night...I am sore in places I didn't even know I had muscles....only way it could have been better is if that bitch in front of me had choked on her own vomit or something...yeah you daft cow...I kept bumping into you because I fucking thought you were hot, so please, keep trying to dig those elbows into my ribcage....then her boyfriend got all pissed off when I grabbed her fucking elbow and slung her around...
I'm starting to worry, why is it I always end up around a miserable twat...ahh well...
That was fcuking awesome... Looks like I picked a good 'un for me first NO gig... Great set, Love Vigilantes was a massive bonus as it's me fave NO song... Sound was surprisingly good, and the crowd were ace - glad I threw caution to the wind and got down the front after the first couple of songs... Nice to finally meet so many of you before/during and after the gig... Just need to clam down and get some energy back before tonight now...

Lucozade baby...LUCOZADE...
I even went down to Boot's and picked up some vitamin tablets...fuck me, I'm becoming my mother...
Okay, I said that Wembley was going to be shit, but I was wrong. It was way better than I was expecting. Great crowd, great setlist, great atmosphere, great sound quality. This was quite possibly the most impressive New Order concert I have ever been to.
I even managed to go to the New Order dressing room after the concert (long story). Bernard asked me to get out there in a polite way, saying that they had to talk about business with the guy from the record company.
It was fantastic to meet you people again. See you again tonight.

Nicolas disapperead about half an hour after you left, Jeff. I met Andy Robinson in the after party and he asked about Nicolas, but he wasn't there anymore.
I did'nt make this one,and obviously gutted about it,but just got the lowdown off my brother who is still in London who said it was a fuckin class gig..He also said some crackin bloke sorted him and his mates out with Fac 383 Vikings badges and sent one along for me too..Got the message through our mam who said the guy was called SHUT! Wild stab in the dark here,but I bet it was SHUG! Am I right? Well am I?
What are the chances of that,considering our lad does'nt post here,and is a proper mong who will most likely lose my badge anyway...still though,nice touch ShugZV cheers man!
Missy here. It really was a fantastic gig, I was blown away. I realised they'd changed the setlist and had no idea what was due on next, which was refreshing after the last few gigs.
My feet are badly bruised due to about 100 people jumping on them (and i'm not exaggerating), I'm not complaining though, you can't be in the moshpit without gaining battle wounds.
Thanks to Midnight Blue for managing to get me a ticket on Wembley Way, apparently they were handing them out at the end of the gig but I missed out.
We didn't bother with the aftershow, we were all tucked up in bed by about 1.30.
Oh, and if anybody can get hold of a false beard for tonight, please let me know (not for me!)
BTW, did anyone bother with Maximo Park, or did you all arrive exactly two minutes before NO were due on, as always?
Burt Reynolds wrote: BTW, did anyone bother with Maximo Park, or did you all arrive exactly two minutes before NO were due on, as always?
A few went early doors, but most of us seemed to commandeer an entire tube train late on!
Other memories from last night: Our favourite anti-Viking, Kevo of the Third, in his Ceremony t-shirt! And nice to see deejays still do requests. TinTin played Hashim just before the Order came on! (okay, so he probably would've played it anyways, but I'd like to think it was my badgering that did it!!!)
And who on earth said Wembley was gonna be shit, eh?!
Fucking marvellous. Bell-end here flogs his Wembley ticket for a variety of reasons, but largely because he couldn't be arsed with the Same Old Shit again, and then the fuckers decide to pull their fingers out of their arses.
If they don't play "Love Vigilantes" at Wolves I'm burning my flag. Again.
Hope Danny/Gin Soaked Boy enjoyed the show!
What's the chances at Wolves (being the last UK gig) they'll drop in there another they havent done yet on this tour? EGG maybe?!

Jeffari-al-Texani wrote: So Ricardo...what time did you and Nicos finally leave the arena?
You scared the hell out of me, so I decided to take the train asap 
To be honest, we moved to the right place when you left (the other side), nothing seems to be happening, we couldn't get a seat.. I was soaked, I was tired, and I finally decided to get back to my hotel and managed to get the last trains.
I didn't think about transportation at all before you talked about it..
Sorry Ricardo, I couldn't find you, I asked Chris to notify you.

More likely they'll drop a bollock, but here's hoping.....
Oh, BTW, serious nice gig and it was great seeing all those people (and I have probably forgotten 50% of the faces!)... so who did I see... hum.
Obviously Tim who brought me to the sound check, where I got an access all area pass that I didn't use that much as well as a lot of bracelets for the after party at Wembley I was asked to give "my crew" hehe.
I met Chris Nash, Philip Collin and Digital Mike at the Green Man where we went before the gig, because it would have been too long to go back to Baker Street. I also met other people I don't remember, sorry, very sorry.
Oh, we met Maya and Johnny on the street...!
I went in the venue alone and saw maybe the last 5 songs of Maximo Park, when I decided to move Hooky's side because I wanted to go in front to take pictures, but when I met a few people I decided to stay there... so basically I met Rocket Mick, Don, Ness, Nick King, saw Mr Jarvis and Johnny Giles, Will from Re : Order and Tim finally came back.. Old Blue.. for the others I'm sorry, but I didn't actually get your name right, and I didn't recognize you from pictures, and I'm terrible at remembering names.
After the show (which was awesome), I met Jeff, Robert Roy when they were trying to kick us out (so sorry for not talking too much!)... finally everybody was there, I also talked to Big Clive and was right in front of "Uncle John" and Lorraine ;)
I'll see you all back tonight I guess. I'm still going to sweat like a pig (f***** flu! damn it) and this time I still have my ears blocked from the speakers, but I'll be alive and well ;)
Cheers!
Sod's law eh? Was living in London when I bought tickets for Wemberley (they're sitting next to my keyboard - unused - as I write this) but had to move back up north for a job then it turns out to be one of the very best gigs of the year 
Really, really gutted I couldn't make it but I tried to be sensible and put my new job trial period first 
Er, won't be doing that again!
Oh well, I suppose the upside is if they're producing performances of this quality and looking like they're having a good time on stage then we can say with some confidence that this definitely won't be their final live stint? I didn't think it would be anyway (last gig in Brazil) but this all seems very promising for a new album and tour doesn't it? Even if it is a bit of soundtrack work for Control initially.
Gives me some comfort at least!

It would be an honour to see the last New Order gigs here in Brazil if this really happened. But I am pretty sure it won't be this time :)
sounds like a fine time was had by all. wish i could have made it, but this year well it is just impossible for me to go overseas. :(
Julio wrote: Ricardo,

You are very smart, Julio, very smart.
Everyone here asks about you, by the way.
Had a great time.
The set-list shake up was great as was the improv during the encore.
Great to meet Jeff and Nic at last.
Good to see Ricardo, Geri and Mick again.
Nice to be punched by Jem and head-butted by Bonzette :)
And Neil - sorry I wasn't any more use during the escalator incident.

It sure was brilliant, starting with the JD set and then loads of favourites. Sound was excellent. Deek said that they would play Love Vigilantes as an encore, and I was like: don't be daft! And when I saw Barney with the melodica I said "it'll be YSF". Couldn't believe my ears !! Met up in the pub beforehand with Claire and Henry, and others whose names I have forgotten, sorry. Nice to see so many familiar faces at the venue as well: Julie, Rosie, Chris, Clive, Tim, Simon, Don, Dave, Mick, Al. Saw Spotnick from a distance but didn't get to say hello. Got hit on the head by, I think, Missy Jem. And ended up walking back to the hotel with Maya and Johnny. Absolutely fab from start to finish.

Enjoyed every mintue and meeting everyone - as usual is almost as entertaining at the gig.
Loved the JD section at the start. Poor old Hooky got cramp in Atmos and looked a bit uncomfortable in Blue Monday :( - obviously he has recovered though. Bernard looked the most knackered I've ever seen during BLT, thought he was never going to get up from 'kneeling down and praying'!
The whole of the Wembley looks a bit more impressive than is used to. Shame the big bit doesn't work yet

Aha,thought so...Very good of you Shuggs. The lads are all raving about this gig,which was their third and best New Order gig they have done they say..They were already well aware of the Vikings,and are chuffed as fuck with their badges...Apologies if they pestered you for them in anyway though..Pack of cheeky pissed up so and so's.
Was a great eve ... what was started off as one of the wankiest fridays, truned into a cracker...
bumped into lots of you dancing round like a loon, so didnt have opp to introduce mysefl properly, excpet for hugging various sweaty folks ... NO were superb... even got my arse felt up, which was a result too ...by a lady which made it even better...
Wembley was an amazing gig and Friday's performance is up there with their Manchester Apollo 2005 gig IMO. For me their performance seemed more special than the 'special' Bournemouth gig with the set list (She's Lost Control, Atmosphere, Love Vigilantes), their energy and reaction with the crowd/themselves all pointing to NO having the enthusiasm to do at least one more album and one last tour. Hope you all had a good time at Wolves last night and to those who are going (Luton Order, Ricardo etc.) have a good one at their Brazilian gigs! Cheers!!
awesome gig
best one of the 3 i went to (blackpool, wembley and wolves)
top setlist, my dad made that up and i thought it worked amazingly well
i'm taking the credit for putting love vigilantes in the encore though
anyways glad you all seemed to enjoy it - it was quality i had an awesome weekend

It was indeed a fantastic set list, Full marks to Hooky on that one, and to you for Love Vigilantes, wasn't expecting that, felt sure we were gonna get KW1 when Barney picked up the melodica.
Top gig .Had a great time jumping up and down.
.Banished the bad memories of the 87 gig there once and for all
Well I was a teeny bit off colour. But fuck me they were amazing. again, needed a slice of lemon to get the grin off my gob.
Yous all know that when your THAT close to the rig, the venue accoustics aren't THAT big a factor dontcha? Seemed to be only a certain part of tha arena being used with the back hung with accoustic drapes, also numerous accoustic drapes on roof......probably yhey're trying to calm the room down....but I have no idea when they all appeared, and have no previous comparison beyond the 87 bootleg which sounds like it was recorded in a bog bowl.
Am I the ONLY sod who thought Hooky was WAY too quiet? If I hadn't known every note he should be playing I would not have been able to pick the bass out. At a few points I could hear his fucking BACKLINE louder than him in the main PA. I was just off axis of the stage left stack, so maybe I just blindspotted myself.
Ok now i am fukcing gutted. That has to be as good a set list as you are gonna see for a NO gig.
Saw them at newcastle but would have walked over hot coals to have seen this gig.

Wembley Arena has just had a £35m refit, part of which went to improving the acoustics. There was a giant black sheet draped down, probably blanking off 30%-40% of the arena, so it was nowhere near capacity.
And Cambo, you were constantly shouting 'turn up the fookin bass'. Seemed about right to me. I thought Hooky was very quiet in the sense he didnt give us loads of his usual banter between songs.
Top top top night!
Not seeing them since Hyde Park last year, I was hoping they'd be awesome and I wasn't disappointed. Cheers to my bro for buying me my ticket as a birthday present back in July, to Chris Nash for buying the other two spares (long story) and to everyone I met at the Green Man - cheers for the beers!
Grouping the JD material together at the start was an inspired move and it was great to hear These Days and Shadowplay. I was down in the standing are and was glad I was too as the atmos there was great. Mucho dancing by all around, despite being quite packed. A stunning lassie took my hand right at the end with a huge beam on her face - lucky me for an old git of 40! - and a bloke shook my hand as he could see how transported I was. Truly this was one of the finest gigs I've ever seen them play and almost matched GMEX in 88.
Thank you to everyone. I came out totally drained but elated. Chris wanted me to go to ULU on Saturday but I knew I'd be too knackered and skint too. Here's to the next time - let's hope it's not too long. Power to the Vikings!!

The gig was fab. Shame we couldn't find the pub you guys were at beforehand though.
Catch you next time
I thought this gig was even better than the Hyde Park one of last summer.Did anyone else have a few beers in the sportsbar about 100m up from wembley central?ps..i loved steves JAWS t-shirt.
Some prick in the London Lite said it was rubbish, the band had put no effort in. Some people don't deserve to get into gigs.....
IMHO this was their best gig this decade!! (That I've attended!) It was certianly the best since 2001 and I thought the band were on top form. It also marked the first time since 93 that they performed so many new order songs in a row!!! Thirteen of them!! The JD/NO split was definately a good move.

Top man for that Jack... Didn't think it could get any better after the main set and then they go and play my favourite NO song in the encore... Fcuking knackered by that point though... Loved the JD start and the fact the first NO choon they played was so bang up-to-date...

Yep, I saw the review from that prat yesterday, but the London Lite published the review from Shug today. Well done, mate.
BTW, when was the last time New Order played *19* songs or more?
That was also a nice surprise, isn't it?
I suffered from back pain all over this one, go figure why, I didn't have any back problem all my trip, EXCEPT for all the gig time...

Thank you Jack! I got a little bit confused... Wembley was great. You must be proud of your father.He is a great musician.
I dont believe it
You lucky lucky bastards .......
Probably the most awsome New Order set list ever and I went to bloody Bournemouth - so much for the special gig promised, it sounds like it was delivered at Wembley.
It re-news your faith in the boys...

You got off lightly, didn't Gary only eventually wander in during Ceremony at Wembley? 
For some reason, the last track I heard each night was the opening strains of Sirens?! 
Not sure what on earth went on there?
