coachella is expensive if one wishes to hear new order only, but the santa barbara show is reasonable. flying from texas and 4 nights hotel , renting a car ,and seeing both shows for about $1500.00 is worth the hard work saving up for it all. besides, bernard is super friendly , and likely to share some good cheer and hugs before and after sound checks. last autumn, in dallas, he was especially kind. they played 18 songs, 6 of which were joy division songs. and now, with some of electronic's songs possible, or lost sirens, or 'special' or 'everyone everywhere', then bliss/euphoria/ ecstasy shall prevail, and, our newordernow has more new songs coming. at 59 ,i feel i am one of the luckiest fans on earth. so, thanks are in order on a daily basis .

About 07.45am Sunday morning by my reckoning!
I've been watching most weekend but as luck would have it I'm going to miss NO. Hopefully some talented community-minded forum member can archive the show for posterity (and my entertainment) :)
Barney seemed a bit grumpy and off his game most of the night. Gillian never looks all that thrilled when he takes over at the end of BM does she?

Falling over at the start of Regret probably put him in a bad mood :-)

She never looks all that thrilled, period, but yeah, I've wondered this too.
As for Barney, he was off-key vocally (more so than usual). I thought the sound quality on that video feed was pretty thin, though.
WARNING: RANT ABOUT TO ENSUE... APOLOGIES.
Barney's comment of 'if I were an American I would sue someone' just rubs me the wrong way. A few minutes before this he talked about 'working', and during his shift where he is getting paid thousands by many, many people (a few probably American) he goes and says something like this.?. WTF.
Three songs in and he is a grumpy MF and does not look like he even wants to be there.
"Have you ever watched them live before" you may want to ask me... Sure. And we all give them a lot of accolades when half the time they sound like shit.
Just something about that comment makes me say fuck you to him. There is no reason for insults, regardless of whether or not they are American, Chinese, Saudi, Korean, etc. People going to see NO may or may not agree with cultural norms.
And don't get me started on the Isolation 'cover'. Yes - cover. "Do do do do"? WTF. That song is not a happy little jingle. IT'S ISOLATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I trust ALL artists had to deal with the dusty environment.
Just saying... I am a huge NO fan. I'm just shocked and surprised he is still being an asshole after all this time.

In England, Americans are sometimes portrayed as people who will sue for anything - He slipped on something and fell over - looked like he was making a joke about that to me? Didn't see it as an insult to be fair?

I was there, and i would have been upset too if i fell over a dangerous situation too. I think he got more into after though which was great and positive. New Order sounded great in the tent and visuals wonderful.
Regarding the slip, surely the stage should have been free of dust or anything else that could have caused someone to fall like that, how much does it cost to get someone to give it a sweep between acts? I can understand his annoyance actually and if he had injured himself the gig would have ended right there.

Why don't you sue Barney for rubbing you the wrong way? Americans have sued for much,much less
Oh hang on, shit, you'll probably sue me for that comment now

And not even just this gig but potentially all gigs after. So thankful no one was injured.

The sand took the blame. ![[:)]](/emoticons/smile.gif){kind=small}
What if an American comes on here in a few days time and clicks on the link to New Order's set that i gave and it's no longer available? Will they sue me?

I was there and pretty close. He didn't seem all that bothered and the show was fantastic. Didn't he do the same thing in Oakland during BLT a few years ago?

Yes, he did from reckless dancing during Crystal... i was there too. I think he tore something in his leg, and wasn't able to get around much on stage at Coachella afterwards.
I believe in that one, he was swimming in the ocean and got bitten by a shark.
...looking forward to seeing them in Santa Barbara and Coachella next week!
I thought it was a great show by NO. Just kind of missed Peter Hook playing the bass. Tom did a great job nonetheless.
I have just a rant. Moronic non-fans with fucking vip passes thinking they are coachella god or something. Just cos you have a vip wrist band doesn't mean you get MORE personal space on the concert floor. Fucking vip pple thinking they are really THAT important.
Thanks again wrote: What if an American comes on here in a few days time and clicks on the link to New Order's set that i gave and it's no longer available? Will they sue me?
Yes they might. And to release yourself of all liability you MUST post a disclaimer. lol.
You went to Coachella Vince? Wish I'd have remembered. Hope to see you at Santa Barbara and maybe this Wednesday?
It's a very Californian Festival, Coachella. Colourful, populated, lush with unforgiving sun, the gentle hum of weed in the air and wealthy LA Hipster kids.
On top of New Order we took in Savages, Hot Chip, Postal Service, show stealers The Selector, Blur, Stone Roses, Violent Femmes & Franz Ferdinand. But the go to stage for modt was the Sahara where EDM pumped out day and night. For us though, the Sahara stage was just the last staging post en route to VIP hospitality (sorry Vince!).
New Order headlined the large Mohave stage, and after Bernard slipped at the start of Regret the set had an edge and steel to it which the crowd picked up on and enjoyed. Maybe fuelled by a day of drinking but from BLT onwards the crowd was moving from front to back.
Strange that the previous time Bernard fell over on stage, was also at a festival - Sweden's Hulfstred in 2002 - and also during Regret.
I can't afford to sue yous. :)
Anyway, New Order are coming to Atlanta so I try to settle my differences with Barnard in person.
