Hello and good morning everybody. FUCKING HELL!!!! If ever a rocking live performance had to be awarded, well i kow now wich one that should be! I am freshly at work now (08.00 AM),but i am still fucking buzzing out of my brain. The most energetic of all performances i saw!And the crowd was absolutely wonderful.Of course the German people had to make up for last summers performance, and they sure as hell did. And what about Arthur Baker! Starting of with Thieves like us!!A trippy mushroom based performance that was. Had a hell of a time , what about you, Jaap!! The same setlist as Paris (i think so , various substances are making it difficult to recall certain parts of the night) plus we had a bonus encore:Ruined in a day. Phew!Coffee, quick.
Cologne nov.16!!!

Good morning everybody ;)
Yeah, great gig yesterday! Fantastic sound, great performance, but the Arthur Baker set was so f****** boring, sorry. Totally uninspiring...nice moment when the most of the audience put their tickets in the air, nearly "forcing" AB to stop dj-ing, harhar. My faves that evening "Transmission", "Ceremony", "60 miles an hour", "Your Silent Face" and a nice rendition of "Temptation".
GREAT GIG :D
I think Arthur Bakers performance was fucking great!!!! You germans do not know how to apreciate one of the worlds top mixers. He's been around since the early days of Detroit/Chicago house, so a little more respect please! And waving with your tickets realy made me puke:\puke: and please don't be so naive to think that this made him stop! My God , you lot have gotta learn much still.
Hey Mario :D
Even if Arthur Baker is a great producer or/and DJ, i think his performance was totally out of place! I've absolutely nothing against a good DJ, but a great name doesn't make a great performance! And it was much too looooooooooonnnnnnnnnggg...
But that's all a matter of taste...hope you don't mind... ;)
No offence Marco.
The reason of the way i reacted has probably got to do with the fact that i raced back to Holland, got in bed by 04.00 and was at work again at07.45.And still flying high on last night's substances.
You are right, we are entitled to our own opinion.
BUT ARTHUR RULED LAST NIGHT

BUT ARTHUR RULED LAST NIGHT
Waving with the tickets did not make Arthur Baker stop...in fact at one point he looked into the crowd, there was a big grin and then he played even louder (it was a 'bit' too long for my taste as well). My first New Order concert was absolutely fantastic, I couldn't believe how they rocked. My highlights were Crystal, Regret, True Faith, Temptation and LWTUA. Sound was pretty good as well. Barney had some good jokes, especially the one about the people who could (according to him) could not get in because it was to full, could come to him after the show and get there money back... if they could find him :) (buy the way, I was there at the end of the show and there was enough spae for people to get in, they chose to stay outside.
I can remember Barney saying:
"My voice tonight is smaller than your penises..."
:D
...and wasn't Arthur Baker pointing his middlefinger at the crowd when they were waving their tickets???
You are so right Coen!
Glad you enjoyed it so much.Lets hope Barney keeps his promise when he said at the end "see you in the near future".
By the way, where were you standing during the concert?
I was right upfront,wearing my '89 white reading tshirt.You might have spotted me going beserk all the time.
I thought it was : 'my breath smells like your penis' :D I did not see AB putting up his middle finger, but I'm sure that in his mind he was!! Not a bad word about the crowd though. I was my first concert in Germany and they were much better than what you usually see in Holland. Agree, Mario?
The Show was great, the best I´ve ever seen!!! And Arthur Bakers Dj-Set was very good, waving tickets is pretty poor. Dance Music has influenced NO pretty much (and vice versa) and Arthur Baker did a lot for the band. I was a bit disappointes about the security afterwards. No After-Hour, no new order from tape, no comfortable drinking - we got kicked out! But still - this was the best gig ever! Great Performance on stage and from the audience!
Originally posted by Mario Herlaar I thought Barney said something like"my breath smells like your penis".
That was what he said. I think it was written on the CD-cover someone threw on stage before the encore.
You are right Coen, about both the audience and Barneys penis/breath remark. Did you see the people after the show selling the posters from the Brixton academy shows? There was a blond girl selling them too , so i went up to her and said (drunk and stoned as i was)"if i give you a nice kiss would you give me one of those posters". She bloody refused!!! Luckily i was early at the venue so i ripped off two posters from a gate close to the Palladium!!Hahaha.;)
Mario, I guess you weren't the only one jumping!! I was about 20 meters from the stage a bit on the right, on Hooky's side. Still I often couldn't see his bass cause he kept it so low ...His little solo encore after LWTUA was brilliant!
Well Coen that makes me standing about 20 meters infront of you also on Hookys side!He was raving wasn't he?
...but what did Arthur Baker contribute on Touched by the Hand of God ???
I saw him joining them onstage, but couldn't hear anything from him...what did he do? Some scratching or what ???

That's the spirit Mario!! You give the Dutch that good name that we have all over the world
By the way, did you catch Barney's remark at the end about 'the audience securing the band's future' or something like that??

I think he came on stage to annoy the audience a bit further
Yeah, i thought he said , see you in the near future.
But then again i was on drugs.
That's maybe also why i haven't noticed Arhtur Baker on stage during touched by the hand of god.
What i did notice was the amount of nice girls at the gig.

Marco, let's talk music, not football ;)

Hey Mario, she was cute. But she just wanted to sell those posters...:) But there a few blone cuties in the audience!!
That's an awfully bad remark Marco, which shows you. Goddamn i guess i am just jeaulous.Imagine a world cup without the best players in the world!! But i hope England is gonna kick some German ass overthere!! ENOUGH. I ONLY WANT NEW ORDER.
I expected about 90% men at a New Order concert. But it was probably more like 50/50. Always good for the atmosphere!
