The best New Order performance ever on DVD!!!

YEEEEAH!!! It's gonna happen! Can't wait for it! The best moment ever in the whole music history! New Order's mad performance of Everything's Gone Green in Brussels!!! And an amzing tracklist too. Just check this page: http://home.wxs.nl/~frankbri/ltm2400.html Nic, this is definitely worth a mention on the news!

Nice one - will make a decent purchase on the way back for those guys jetting off to the States! :)

l8rs,

Nick ;)

James Nice comes up trumps again.

I take it this the Factory Complication version featuring Bernard's 'head banging' performance

What's the deal with the performance of EGG? They strip naked and sacrifice chickens or something? I only have a storehouse of JD bootlegs, so I've never heard the show in question.

Hopefully Gillian gets most, if not all, of the airtime if that's the case.

*Fuck YEEEAAAHH!!! Just check the gigography and it can be only that concert: http://www.new-order.net/no/gigs/nogig.htm#1981 A scary and funny performance at the same time, Bernard at his very best over a merciless keyboard and Steve's human drum machine. Our Barney, totally off his head, woofs, barks and shouts improvised words ending with "Jesus I love you! Jesus I love you! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Whoop! Woof!" and bangs his head violently with the mic before letting it fall and launching onto the final guitar attack... The band is costantly under a cool blue light and Gillian is as goth as in 316 in New York. Whatever the drugs, he should have taken more! It's the pure essence of techno-punk, you won't see anything like that in your whole life again. The song is very different from the final version, much better in fact, it's witnessing to pure madness creating something very special. Always my favourite moment ever in the whole music history (when I first saw it I totally fell in love with it and it was the moment New Order's legend became untouchable forever), and I'm happy James and Frank like it so much to put it in the compilation... lately I haven't played it so often as before (12 years ago I could watch it 10 times in a day with the same adoration) because I was worried to ruin the tape... Don't miss it!

PS: I'm also DESPERATELY looking for the audio of this whole gig, seems impossible to find... I'd be really happy if anyone could help me... Thank you.

PS2: thanks for the credit on then news, Nic, too kind from you!

PS3: Check also Swamp Children's wonderful performance of You've Got Me Beat. It was enough to make me buy the CD when it was finally reissued last year! Great sophisticated jazz pop, and the most of the album is as good as that...

"Jesus I love you...woof?"

I sure hope that clip gets put on NOOL eventually, as I'd LOVE to see something that fucking nutty.
