all i heard from liam is that the sound was VERY poor during twenty four hours. he sent me the set list via text message, but i deleted it! i know shadowplay was on there, and LWTUA. perhaps those present can fill in the rest.
So... who taped this one?
Part of me is excited because they've played a song they haven't done for a really long time, so its great whatever in a nostalgic sort of way - like Warsaw and Shadowplay, its good to see they havent forgotten these songs.
But then 24 Hours is one of my absolute favourites and I hope to God they did it justice. Hopefully they rehearsed - if Steve has turned his brilliant drumming from JD into Shadowplay-style plod-a-long I'll be disappointed.
Hope everyone had (or is having) a great time.
To Diggy Mike, Hibster, Uncle Liam and all the other Vikings that made it oop to Mancland hope ya all had a great fooking time before, during and post-gig(no doubt having fab hangovers on behalf of the rest of us
). Update us on the full setlist soon as ya can lads.
just got a text from Don: Vicious, there's a ghost in my house(barney, marr & doves), Transmission, SLC, 24hrs, Atmosphere, Warsaw, LWTUA, Ceremony, Wrote For Luck(with everyone). Not sure if it's the correct order. Thanks Don!!
Transmission She's Lost Control Shadowplay Atmosphere Twenty Four Hours Warsaw Love Will Tear Us Apart Ceremony
...and yes, from where I was 'Twenty Four Hours' was stunning, well rehearsed, no whoops, totally ace!

Thank the fuck for no whoops!! Should make a good boot(if someone(s) managed to get a Walkman/MD recorder in un-noticed)
BTW, Hibster check yer email ASAP mate.
not the half of it
A night that kept bordering on the cheese threw up some stormers.
How Soon is Now..played live with J Marr doin vocals. Fuckin amazin.
Just when I got pissed off with New Order doing the boring JD set they pull out 24 Hours. Fuckin brilliant. Then gave us Ceremony. ahhh.
Then the all star line up at the end that threatened to be an embarrassment turned into a massive rendition of Wrote For Luck. Hooky, Barney, Bez, Ryder, Marr all givin it Happys. Brought back so many memories. Ryder may be a fuckwit but he's still got it.
I went not expecting much. And came away with treasured memories.
And a head full of Class A's and a top woman 
Altogther a good un.
oh, and forgot to mention. Fuckin excellent Viking pins, best yet?
Whaat a fcuking top night!! Although Freebass never emerged,NO played a blinder tonight,by the time Warsaw came on I lost my voice.31G!!!! 3ig....cough!! DOVES well I've never seen them live but I would again.Joined on stage by Badly Drawn Boy. Other highlights,the Geordie singer from Domino Bones.Marr and the Healers,doing There Is A Light.. And just when everyone was expecting a total JD set,they come on and do CEREMONY! 808 doing Pacific,Cubik,and the Only Rhyme that Bites (with MC Tunes) The encore when everyone came on..Marr,Sumner,Hooky,Doves,Nine Black Alps (another revelation),Bez and on vocals,Mr S Ryder singing Wrote For Luck...a bleeding wall of guitars.And he's there singing along with them.."Chitty Bang Bang,Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!" Note to Banshee and his lovely other-half,thanks for a top night! see you on Friday for some trans-pennine disco featuring yours truly! Off to bed!:dead:

lucky bastard - so glad that the night didn't disappoint and thanks much for posting the news.
don't worry M i'm sure we'll get a full review any hour now, once they have all sufficiently recovered from their hangovers.
wow... sounds absolutely great! A top set. Looking forward to someone looking taking pity on my soon to be married soul ;)
enjoy(ed) it.
Ma heid's fuckin bangin!
A long day yesterday, left Corby at 7 in the morning for the Celtic game, disappointing result as we were robbed of a blatant penalty when we were cruising at 3-1 
Ach well, the gig more than made up for it and we managed to bump into just about everyone from here, I also met a few new faces, big up to Steven (Out Of Order) for coming to meet us before the Celtic game....a Rangers fan coming to a Tim pub and he was a top lad, we also met up with him at the gig. I also remember meeting Royser and Missy Jem down at the front of the gig.
Ness was sporting TARTAN Viking headgear, supplied by Biginoil 
Also got to have a great craic with DoN, Rocket, JT( who had done an Alan Bradley with a tram) Lucy (who swears she never pushed JT), Jarvo (The VIKING badge God), Johnny Giles, Mandy (but Hibster wasnae with us - he was whoring it up with his press pass pals :D ) Vinnie, Greg, Ally, Biginoil, Baldrick, John & Lorraine (Mr & Mrs Schumaker) Danny German Order, Darren Welsh Order, Gary, Gordy, Alex and John, Uncle Liam, Mike Garrity and Frads (a pair of tubes in Hawaiin T's and Shorts AND the Stoke flag) and there were probably loads more, but I was very drunk :D
We did the usual and stayed at the bar till neworder came on, (except for when we heard Barney singing HIT THE NORTH - we dived in to see that) then made a mad dash to get down the front just in time. All the talk of a Joy Division only set hadnae put anyone off - cos there was a BIG rumour doing the rounds we were gonna get a song from Still which hadnae been played since 1980. Jarvo and JG said it was from the Birmingham concert so we thought we were gonna get Disorder.
I can't remember what order the set was played cos I was too busy diving around and singing along like a mad eedjit. I have to say the crowd was fucking brilliant, ten times better than the Apollo gig a month or two back 
The place was also packed to the rafters which quelled our fears of not many people being there!!! The "mosh pit" was crazy and we had to hang on for dear life at times and I remember falling over some guy on the floor. Brilliant. Thanks to John and Steven and a couple of others for getting us to our feet again.
24 Hours was fucking outstanding, Uncly John had tears in his eyes! Everyone was going mental. To top things off we also got a neworder track thrown in 
The band are / were fucking great and it more than made up for the disappointment of being robbed by Dundee Utd at Paradise.
new ordah!!!!
Nearly forgot..... Wrote For Luck. Great ending.
Sounds excellent Shug!
Another all JD set... I thought that might have been a one off for Peel day... wonder if they're gonna make a habit of this now... it's cool either way...
great night except for 808 State who were seriously embarrasing IMO although v funny to watch.
the down side was i spent way too much time at the bar arguing with fuckin idiots pushin in.
what were the tracks Barney joined Doves for, i didnt recognise them?
Elbow, BDB were great too although the sound is never too good in the arena. definitely worth the money and all for a great cause, bring on the DVD!!
here's a review of MvC: http://www.entertainmentmanchester.com/music/livereviews/manchestervcancer.htm

One of them was VICIOUS off Lou Reed's Transformer album! And the other was R Dean Taylor's/The Fall's "Ghost In My House".
Brilliant... If they can pull something like this out of the bag, then there's hope yet that something like Hurt might just possibly see the light of day once more... Anyone who was there, how did Barney sound on 24H?
Snorri xxx
bernard sounded terrible. I was listening to closer on saturday morning, wasnt that pissed, and couldnt make out the song, even when he started singing.
The worst sound of all the night was on Atmosphere. Otherwise a great set and really enjoyed all the collaborations. Johnny Marr with Andy Rourke doin How soon is now, was the highlight.
Must check out Nine Black Alps.

Am not sure why you found them seriously embarassing. Yeah they're looking older, but so does Barney and Graham Massey's jacket was a bit well uncool. Thought they're set was really good though!

24 Hours is a guitar song though, Hurt needs sequencers
Not gonna happen
I thought 24 hours was great, made the night for me. One of my favourite JD songs. Totally unexpected as we thought we were getting a song from Still.

Yeah it was all taped and they are hinting at DVD release on the M vs C site. Maybe we should email them.
Was also nice to see John Cooper Clarke and Frank Sidebottom.
But yeah 24 Hours had my spine tingling.

It sounds fantastic! So, did anyone tape it (audio- I don’t have the patience to wait for the DVD) or were you all too busy living in the moment to think of us poor fool who couldn’t be there?
tallguyuk wrote: Yeah it was all taped and they are hinting at DVD release on the M vs C site.
My source tells me it was all laid down in glorious 5.1 surround sound.
Has Shaun Ryder lost weight? He didn't look like the big bloated bastard the last time I saw him.
Missed 808 state and Bez's band cos we got there at 7.30.
Having seen enough NO performances over the last few years I was well pleased they played a JD set, at least it spared me that atrocious version of True Faith they normally play.
Anyway a fantastic night, I think my highlights were There is a light... How Soon is Now, Ceremony and the 'Superstar' line up of WFL even though it was a bit shambolic.
All rounded off by an impromptu visit to Sankeys where I had triple vision.
if it was taped and or filmed as suggested by tallguyuk for possible dvd release, it would perhaps make a nice accompaniment to that Joy Division dvd we have been waiting for for so long. perhaps a two disc set ala collection. that would be nice. JD old & new.
they wont do that as a JD dvd would be released solely for making the band money, whereas last night was for charity.
it has happened before. remember the Academy vid. well all i'm saying is that would be nice if it happened. who knows what the commercial arangements are. let's just wait and see.
I was 3 rows back but i can't remember how it sounded.or indeed how the whole set sounded.Maybe gonna have to knock this moshpit madness into touch and stand further back in future.....
But i remember how the WFL jam sounded.A wall of guitars.With Bez right back on form with the freaky dancin' !!! Superb

Copyright is owned by International Aids Day, it wasn't a Factory release.
Oooer.
SWR didn't say chitty chitty bang bang, he said chitty chitty gang bang!
mc tunes kept standing behind andy rourke on the last song threatening to pull his trousers down.
marr stopped playing guitar on it early doors & was just standing there at the back.
mani was loitering not doing anything which prevented us from seeing freebas together in the supergroup line up - have pics of hooky & rourke together...
noticed that the autocue had the lyrics to vicous on it before doves' set, they bought BDB on first, then he left & marr & Barney came on - Brney introduced the song as "viscous", introduced r dean taylor's as a song by some bloke from wolverhampton (i was expecting a slade cover at that point!) after barney & marr, doves had guy garvey from elbow on. "this is turning into a right back slapping fest"
new order almost forgot to play ceremony, they did 7 songs & were about to walk off when someone reminded barney they were due to do ceremony.
wilson introduced them & they all greeted him fondly as they walked on stage (sections of the crowd had booed him)

It wasn't on the setlist. Impromptu?!
