Don't know but have only 3 tracks been played from LAST night? 3 1 G indeed.:D
I always wondered what they sang. What does 3 1 G mean? Im being thick!
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.
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. 
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.

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.

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!

Your eyes are closed? ;)
Warsaw isn't really a surprise as the band did rehearse it this summer (at least in Chicago)
Shadowplay IS the big surprise...
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
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!
(edit: oh yeah it was really, really slow to download, like 7 KB/sec on DSL... maybe there's some problem with the host)
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
Finally was able to see the vid, thanks to my brother Nick! Very nice and a big thank you to whoever filmed this
Blimey!.Top stuff.And Sarge(? what is his name? the roadie) looked like he had a busy night too.
