I recall in 1989 New Order did a US tour with Public image ltd and The Sugarcubes. This was the tour that nearly broke up the band for good If I remember clearly. However, one nagging thing needs resolving: is it true that the band had a live CD recording of one of their US gigs (not sure which one though) issued that featuredsets from both themselves preceded by a set from The sugarcubes. Or was this issued on a very scare double bootleg LP with one LP by New Order and the other by the Icelandic indie gods.? This has been bugging me for ages and i wonder if any of you smarter more informed fans know any answers.? :confused:

It's definately on vinyl - not sure about CD though.

quite why anyone would want to get hold of a live Sugarcubes gig on record is a mystery - if only because that prat Einaar (whatever, hiowever you spell his name) seems to shout all over the top of all their better songs and generally acting like some big spoiled kid. I saw them support New Order on one of the US gigs (Boston, if i recall correctly) and The sugarcubes were just wacky pants. Public Image weren't much better then either, unfortunately.
