New Order & The Fall play for Peel Day

I'm hoping a bit of EGG, seeing as they wimped out at Hyde Park...

Reckon they should play Sunrise..cos Peel used to say he loved it. Also, drop BM, not one of Peel's faves apparently. In fact, they should try and do an innovative, unpredictbale set-list (even for 45 mins)in honour of the great man ! wish I could go :(

Reckon it'll be on BBC3/4 though at some stage.

I may have 2. Bought 2 anyway but not sure if I can make it. I'll know for sure by the end of the week, if they are spare I'll email you.

my seats are not that good, but am I really going to be sitting? I don't think so!

Too fcuking right! Being in the audience? That's just SHIT! I want to be on the stage so that I can SMELL the fcukers!

Considering the lower stands had all sold out in less than half an hour the chances of getting any seats down the front were slim in anycase, people should just be grateful to be inside the venue and experience them play live to such a small crowd.

You can bet they will give the performance of their lives as well in respect for John.

grrrr...you lucky bastards! for once i didn't do a morning internetsession Have fun everyone or has anyone got a spare ticket?

I HATE YOU ALL!!! :D

No you dont. Dont lie. :)

That would be nice!

I second that Nic! It'd be incredibly fantastic if they would record something "unheard before" (you got the hint ;) ).

P.S. Can't they fly over here to the States to do a series of this kind of show (together with the Fall etc.)?

I missed it. Fuck it. Bollocks. Double bollocks.

:bag:

Hang in there Jimbo......

Front Row of Rear Stalls Hooky side

Just worked out these seats are only 12 rows from the front with the added bonus of dancing space to the front and the side b4 we storm the front.

Carn't believe theres some right moaning TWATS on this site that complain about not being able to see at the back - who gives a fuck- you should have bought a ticket when you had the chance, this is extremely iritating to people like moi who find out about it after tea, and didn't get the opportunity. So why dont you P.. ..

i'll definitely be there! front and center.

in my dreams.

Looks like bein' a bit of a good 'un, predictable setlist or (hopefully) not. Any spare tickets from the 'ardcore, gizza job... I mean a shout. Not been down London town since Pixies with Hibster and Jarvo last summer, so there'll be a bit of catch-up drinking to do.

I didn't have the EFFING CHANCE to buy a ticket at the front because the EFFING TICKETS at the front were sold out when I found out this gig was on- if you read my posts you would have understood this- I don't think wanting a ticket at the front makes me a 'moaning TW*T'; if I pay good money I want a good view!

Why don't you P**S OFF INSTEAD?

has anybody got any spares please? i've been in prague since friday,just logged on to see this,my luck is terrible

C'mon, digiwaters, you are a bit of a moaning tw&t, aren't you? I for one just don't understand your attitude. You COULD have bought a ticket for a row, say, 15 metres back from the stage but you're now moaning cos you didn't get one 10 metres closer to the stage. Some people here have travelled miles to see New Order and have watched them from different postcodes at some of the bigger gigs. Try going to Glastonbury one year - watching New order from the very front there is FURTHER away than any of the seats available to you when you were whinging on here yesterday arvo. It's not like you even had to travel to this give, you live in London! You're also making it sound like you would've been up in the Gods. You wouldn't have been. There were seats available halfway back when you started posting yesterday arvo. I'm sorry, but I just don't get your moaning whatsoever. You had your chance, you didn't bother buying a ticket. Other people sadly didn't even see this till the venue had Sold Out. I genuinely hope you get a ticket closer to the front but I think just getting 'inside' the venue is the important thing here. I've been to both the QEH and the RFH and it becomes a bit of a free-for-all towards the end.

I love NO, but going to every live gig isn't my aim in life.

I've seen them up close at Hyde and Finsbury Park and i've been to Glasto and Reading (not recently thou') so i'm aware of the views there. My criteria for seeing an NO gig is that a/ It's in London and b/ I can be sure of getting within 20m of them; otherwise I don't think it's worth paying (you say the views were 15m back, but it didn't look that good to me). Yes it's an intimate venue, yes it's a special event, but no, I won't pay to see them live unless it's up close.

I know many people here will go and see them whenever or whatever, which is fine; nothing wrong with it and lots right with it!

I like to be sure that i'm going to get the experience i'm paying for as I don't have money coming out of my ears... If I sound like a whiner fine, that's your opinion, but from my POV, it's just that I have a different threshold for deciding whether or not it's worth going.

I'm sure it will be a great night and I hope you all have a cracking time- it's sure to be something special!

Indeed. the venue has only 917 seats, there are only about 30 rows, which ain't very far back! If you can't see clearly from 30 rows back (which incidentally is probably the optimum area for sound clarity at this type of venue), then you must be Stevie Wonder.

Strikes me as being a cop-out excuse really, DW.

Its midweek so people best start planning excuses/holiday for the following day if working, as their will be some serious drinking going on i suspect(just for a change )

Knowing you, you will take the rest the week off to recover!!
