thanks guys. Sadly this is my re-registration (we moved last year and I changed emails) and I lost credit for all ten of old posts!
I have been lurking though and got a good chuckle out of some newbie posts, and the wrath that followed.....

Originally posted by Jeff Morrison 316, merely because I had heard about this for years before it was finally released in the States. While I enjoy the video and sound quality of 511 more, there is something "off" about a daytime gig for some reason. Reading at night just has a better feel to me.
New Order came on at approx 8-8.30 at both gigs. (Someone can confirm?). One was in June, leading up to our longest day of the year, the other was in August after our longest day of the year.
So, what you're trying to say is ... New Order are better in the dark?!

Where did you get it? How much did you pay for it?
Thanks to some detective work by the wonderful Biznotic Love Trapezoid, I was able to score Academy on DVD, and if it were on the list, I would've put that on top. Seeing that it isn't there, gotta go with PFD.
I had to go with 511...simply because I was there...
and the memories of the previous evening...finally meeting up with some class acts...ShugzV and Baldrick, Don, Mick, Jarvo, Giles...and getting so fooking drunk that I didn't recall meeting Liv and Kezzie...
ahhhh...those were the days!!!

Strangely, my memory of Reading '98 is that they came on in daylight, albeit fading daylight - it wasn't as dark as it seems on the DVD, surely? Don't we still have decent light until about 9 o' clock in late August?

Sad bastard that I am I remember checking the expected time for nightfall before Reading 98 and it was around the 8.30 mark. I think New Order came on slightly before that, so it was already dusk. I thought we were gonna see 'em in daylight cos of the support slot but actually seem to remember the light wasn't an issue. Obviously different for Finsbury, mind, and that's blatant on the DVD.
Originally posted by Simon Park MikeI think its the best audience recording I ever got hold of.Close to the stage so you can see Gillian panic when the sequencers wouldn't change from the opening pattern on The Perfect Kiss.Its also the complete gig.
sounds great

I only thought about the official releases. But of course 'Academy' is a better gig/video. (Though I think I slightly prefer PFD, I like those days better.)
