Enjoy!

New Order - Warsaw (Live 2005.10.12)

You need quicktime to watch it.

Beware, it's 28 megs.

Good stuff. A bit amazed we have footage of this at all.

Love that GOD HAS A DJ was scrawled on the speakers, and to see a mosh pit in the QE Hall, even with all the bald spots! (dunnae worry, I'm developing one too)

Man, Sarge has almost as much gold chains as Mr. T did in his heydey.

You could have walked in with a professional film crew!

Didn't see anyone have their ticket checked, let alone their bag.

Gutted I didn't bring my proper camera :\ohwell:

12 Oct 2005, 20:45

cheers, nic!

what a treat, it sounded great--a powerful performance, and the band looked like they were having the time of their lives. as for the gold necklaces: you're right H.O., BA baracus rides again!

12 Oct 2005, 21:04

My God, they did it! Top form!

They've always seemed to respect the Joy Division songs-better performances than their own tunes. They should just reinvent the set list-toss True Faith and BLT-bring back other tunes. It's like they liberated themselves.

They really should take a cue from the Pixies, a band who, without a new album, have managed to pack in the hits and some rarities during their recent tours. New Order sounded as powerful as Mission of Burma or Sonic Youth with that one performance of 'Warsaw'. Excellent.

Holy Shit! That was fantastic. You can clearly see Jarvo pogoing on Hooky's side during the opening. Must have been mental when it started. New Faith?

Hooky must feel he's been doing the same gig for the last 12 years... always the same people in front of him everywhere :lol:

12 Oct 2005, 21:09

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Absolutely fantastic!

12 Oct 2005, 21:41

damn good. alright visual quality when zoomed in, warsaw all the way. yo. i wanted to see more of stephan tho

12 Oct 2005, 21:53

I only wish they got my favorite part right:

"I can still hear the footsteps, (Ian/Barney and Hooky) I CAN SEE ONLY WALLS"

12 Oct 2005, 22:25

one f*ckin word... :clap: :clap: MASSIVEMASSIVEMASSIVE!!! :clap: :clap: Thanks spotty!!!

13 Oct 2005, 02:26

Excellent- raw energy and total pleasure!

13 Oct 2005, 02:38

Unbelievable. A piece of history. Can't understand why someone moaned about the set though.

13 Oct 2005, 02:48

QUALITY pure and simple,nice one fella :clap:

13 Oct 2005, 03:07

Historic !!! A marvellous rendition. And I can't thank you enough NIC., 'cos I wasn't free to go to attend this memorable gig, so a big thank you. Didier Ravéane

13 Oct 2005, 03:23

can't wait to see this, unfortunately the old banger at work won't play it so I'll have to wait. any change of the rest being put up as well? even just audio?

13 Oct 2005, 04:06

Thank you!

The footage is magnificent!! :clap: I wish I had been there....

13 Oct 2005, 04:33

What a stunning piece of video!

There was unalloyed wildness in the moshpit from what I could see. I take it it was captured on a mobile? Great quality overall. If someone has the whole set on their mobile and burnt it to DVD it would be a real winner!

Cheers and that's made my day now. Al

13 Oct 2005, 04:48

Three words: absolutely f'ing brilliant. No need for further analysis.

13 Oct 2005, 05:08

:clap:

Brilliant stuff Nicos - gutted we were too pissed to get down the front now!

Hopefully when Hibster sobers up he will send in some pictures - cos according to DoN he has some fookin crackers.

13 Oct 2005, 05:20

Great to see them just using guitars, bass and drums on stage - give us more of it!

13 Oct 2005, 08:20

Don't thank me, thank Will for sending it to me so I can make it available.

The only concern we have would be somebody trying to make money out of it, that's the risk of publishing it.

13 Oct 2005, 09:40

Much appreciated! Cheers! :)

Not guilty, your honour! I'm slap bang in front of Barney. All us big bald geezers look the same! That appears to be (Mad) Darren right in front of Hooky. You can also see John McVittie's naked(!) shoulders and ATR right beside him.

Star of the show seems to be Mr Wolfram with his arms flailing around the 30second mark!!!

Absolutely amazing video. Cheers Will, you're a star!

3-1-G!

13 Oct 2005, 12:07

Just watched this through again. Old Monkey slap bang in front of Hooky's bass at approx 1min30secs swapping pleasantries with his drummer, John!

13 Oct 2005, 12:10

So, when was 'Warsaw' (incorrectly just called "3 1 G" by Edith Bowman) last performed live?? Must be years, if not decades???

Don't know but have only 3 tracks been played from LAST night? 3 1 G indeed.:D

13 Oct 2005, 12:21

Yeah, 'Transmission' (naturally), 'Atmosphere', and 'Warsaw'.

Absolute quality to hear 'Warsaw' on the radio - never heard it on air anywhere in my time!

Think it was Preston Warehouse gig _Feb 80'

13 Oct 2005, 13:18

31G was the term used for the German War Criminals. 350125 was Rudolph Hess' number. There was a massive discussion about this on Joy Division Central ages back.

13 Oct 2005, 14:18

love that! 31G!!!!

13 Oct 2005, 18:11

Massive, massive cheers for that, really put a smile on my face, just trying to imagine what it was like in the pit when they played that one.

13 Oct 2005, 19:46

awesome clip!!! everything was great about it. loved the unsteady camerawork and rough audio. i have to say this is my favorite NO performance on film/video. :bow:

Thanks for that. Ian Curtis really did have an unheathy obsession for Nazi history then.

Near as dammit. 31G was the "front number" which signified that Hess had been a European POW. 350125 was his individual prisoner number.

The first two digits actually designate the theater of operations and the third one designates the country's Army the PoW served.

Rudolf Hess PoW number was 31G-350125: 31 = US Army Forces in the European Theater of Operations G = Germany 350125 = Personal number of the PoW

You can find more info about PoW numbers on the scanned documents here and here.

I'm sorry for being so anal. :read:

14 Oct 2005, 06:28

I thought 31G was his missus's bra size and 350125 was his mobile number.

Holy shit, Old Monkey! I never knew that. I reckon, at a guess, that it was last performed live at preston 1980? Bet I'm the only NOOLer was there the last two times it was played!

14 Oct 2005, 11:47

Great vid :clap:

14 Oct 2005, 12:24

Can someone post it on the BSP forum please

Your eyes are closed? ;)

14 Oct 2005, 13:13

Warsaw isn't really a surprise as the band did rehearse it this summer (at least in Chicago)

Shadowplay IS the big surprise...

14 Oct 2005, 17:08

I wrote a post about 12 months ago joking how New Order were going to do this

AND THEY DID

wouldnt surprise me if they did a tour more people would turn up thats for sure

excellent stuff

and now for our encore louie louie

17 Oct 2005, 03:11

I'm just getting a connection refused message, hope this works again cos I NEED to see it.

17 Oct 2005, 04:07

Oh, that would be even better, a Louie Louie like the one on 24 Hour Party People, I'd go totally crazy for that... But this video is already fookin amazing... "God has a DJ", the moshpit, what an audience, what a performance... My biggest thanks for this precious piece of history! :bow: :bow: :bow: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :bow: :bow: :bow:

(edit: oh yeah it was really, really slow to download, like 7 KB/sec on DSL... maybe there's some problem with the host)

17 Oct 2005, 09:55

Brilliant indeed, standing ovation for the guy (must be with al those male fans) who filmed it.I would give my life to had the chance for some injuries at that moshpit.great great great :blackeye:

17 Oct 2005, 10:53

Finally was able to see the vid, thanks to my brother Nick! Very nice and a big thank you to whoever filmed this

17 Oct 2005, 13:04

Blimey!.Top stuff.And Sarge(? what is his name? the roadie) looked like he had a busy night too.

17 Oct 2005, 16:20
