Originally posted by twist TBTHOG always sucks live but oh how grateful I would be to be there watching them perform it live right now.The Red Parrot gig, Feb 21, 1987, in Perth, Australia has a great rendition of Blue Monday."But if it wasn't for my big bonerI'd be a heavenly twat todayAnd I thought I was a bastardAnd I thought I was a cunt Tell me, wow does it feel?When your dick is small?"
THAT'S the right one!!! Thanks for reminding me...I got that CD somewhere in some pile on the floor...
As I said though, we could fill a dozen CDs with potty-mouth episodes. This compliation will consist only of instances where they have screwed up the playing of the song.
Maybe otherwise a brill gig, but what about TPK during Barrowlands Glasgow '85?
TPK
BS: "This song is our new single, erm. It's really good. Think it is, anyway, is it? Yes it is.
They were having technical difficulties, resulting in the following unusual sequence to start out:
"Just takes us a long time to get going. A very long time. Very very very long time. Called a Perfect Kiss Takes a long time to get going, doesn't it? Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Doesn't start like this on the record. It starts very different to this on the record. Hurry up! Hurry up! Fucking hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!
It's starting now."
At about the 3:45 point, a synth line gows awry. It's a couple of octaves higher than what it is supposed to be. Again at 4:50, but gets quickly squelched.
After the song finishes us, Bernard smartly notes:
"Uh, it sounds a bit like that."
And Age Of Consent at Kollingsborg Stockholm 1983-02-26, where Hooky just decides to start this one a few notes lower than wont.
To be honest, I'd be even more interested in a 'Barney Says' or "Hookline' CD...probably can squeeze all the bon mots onto a disc or two.

What are you doing up in the bay area Sam? Don't know if I have that gig...
Isn't there a gig where the beginning of EGG or 586 won't start because the sequencer keeps quitting after a couple of bars? You can clearly here someone in the audience shout "Keep Trying!"
Help me out here Happy One...
i dont think they messed it up big time.....but the totp performance of thieves was pretty horrible

And the TOTP performance of Blue Monday where they looked like they'd wandered in off the street.
After that I think BM went down the charts!
In a lot of versions of 586/EGG/Temptation, the sequencer starts to go nuts, abruptly stopping or launching into the wrong song. Maybe the whole 586/EGG/Temptation segues were because Barney was no longer in control of the equipment and just went with it.
Speaking of CONFUSION...howabout that AWEFUL!!! performance of it in the Pumped Full of Drugs gig in the Land of the Sun??
Makes me cringe every time!!

Like at the Caesar's Palace in Bradford, March '84, where they spent ages during the soundcheck getting the medley set up properly, and then during the gig some part of the equipment drops out and all efforts are laid waste.

You might find the CLP 85 soundcheck version to be by far the worst piece of keyboard playing yet
In Gillian's defence, it may be said that Barney's synth playing on the track during the JD Malvern gig was all thumbs as well 
. No wonder that part of the song was faded out on the original vinyl release (the 'Malvern/Eric's' bootleg)... but now it can be heard on the newly circulating low-generation tape recording!
Originally posted by oldmonkey Which I have yet to hear......
You mean you didn't get my Malvern seed off the "Winter Gardens" bootleg set? I'll send you a copy by mail, then... not to be missed, certainly not in your case (was that you shouting "play the bloody music" before the intro to Disorder kicks in?).
Gotta be "All the way" from reading89 (???...twas a festival of that period). Somehow that f*nutt Barney gets a bar out with everyone, and ploughs ahead anyway. After.... "Sorry bout that, but u gotta admit it, it was shit. But the next one's gonna be good though cos it's all done all by computers" It's impossible to trawl my brain for the better ones I know are out there. Maybe we do need a double volume here? Vol 1. To err is to be Human....Where our 4 friends demmonstrate the The Mondays weren't the only ones who could get off their faces and then fail to hold it together :-) Vol 2. Ghost in the machine.....Where the electronix mingions rebel for better working conditions. On this one my vote must surely, for sheer HAL9000ness go to the Glastonbury 81 gig were the Dr50 decided to change tempo, taking the ARP et all with it, and leaving the band behind. Think it was EGG.
I think The Happy One's idea is worthy, Going to start a poll to see if we should collect the wisdom of barney and ook.

WAsn't a bad performance but it was funny the way bernard was rolling his eyes everwhere as if he was high or something lol.

"As if"?
I think it took all his remaining sober energy to refrain from peppering the lyrics with words like "twat" and "cock" 
THAT would've been a classic TOTP moment, eh?

Ah, thats Glasgow '89. 1st NO gig I went to so that performance sticks in your head somewhat!
Ahhh yes, the SECC, wasn't that the gig where hooky practically had to be dragged off at the end, cos he just stood there beating the basline to fine time out, with Audience accompaniment. Maybe that was Birmingham, I bought both together. The thing that makes the state of "all the way" all the better is that, by and large, it was a brilliant gig.
I did both the SECC and NEC gigs, that was the end of an era, they were then shite for years.
Oh dear, another one.
Having just downloaded it via easytree.or
New Order - Soundcheck 1986
The keyboard playing on LWTUA, cringeworthy, maybe it was a roadie...
lots of poor performances mentioned here....both at gigs and on tv shows.
my memory bank is pretty poor but i seem to remember them playing a show called the roxy and i think this was half decent...i think it was around the time of true faith.
That was the Magic of New Order live;
Different sets Different words No encore No Auto Cue New Tracks Pernod on Barney's Amp
Those days are gone I'm afraid
