High Hall is now called Chamberlain Hall though isn't it?

Aye... Woolwich Coronet is a Church of the Tabernacle or summink, with a big poster of a 'brotherly love' type preacherman on the front.

Shame.

Shame.

It's the 'New Wine Church' and the building itself is called Gateway House. The outside of the building's been restored quite sympathetically but unfortunately it's neither used for films (I think I saw the Jungle Book there when I was a kid) nor for live bands (unless they're part of the aforementioned happy clappy lot)...

erm...Lisa...check your memory banks...the order only played Dallas once in 89, and it wasn't at Bronco Bowl...they only did Starplex that year...

and if I'm not mistaken...that was the first time they did Dallas...

Errrr, yes, they did play the Bronco Bowl, with a band from Athens, Georgia called Love Tractor opening. Starplex didn't exist in 1989. If I can find my ticket stub, I'll prove it to you. I even bought the t-shirt, which I still have.... I saw that listing in the True Faith book and knew it was wrong.....

SFX Hall in Dublin(Jan'86) was recently demolished,which was a real shame as i have so many great memories of the place.

Starplex was opened in 88...and the order did play there in 89..April 20 something or other...the day after they played Astroworld in Houston...I was at both shows...Throwing Muses opened for them...this is the tour that gave us the wonderful flourescent day-glo American flag shirts...

Now...back on topic...the other place that New order played in Houston, the Maceba Theatre is also gone...

Oh you young people with your big ideas and your bell-bottom trousers....you're putting yerself in line for an asskicking, my friend. I've never fucking BEEN to Starplex. I saw New Order with Love Tractor in 1989 at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Your True Faith book is WRONG. End of story. Now to find that ticket stub.....

You were right about one thing: I was wrong about the year, but that's what happens when you get old. Read it and weep!

THAT show's not in the book either, my friend....

Jeffari-al-Texani wrote: erm...so I was right about 89...bwahahahaha...

now I am a bit miffed that I didn't know about that show in 86...not that my mommy would have allowed me to go...and seeing as it was a Saturday night...I was probably working anyway...and I probably would have just stood at the back picking my nose..

I was lusting after Hooky from the mezzanine....I tried to get backstage (it was pretty easy at the Bronco Bowl, especially back then), but wasn't able to.

They're still around! They have a MySpace....Sorry, no clue who the Wurzels are....

I don't think anyone knew about that 86 gig! Can you remember what they played, Lisa?

And, for the record, nobody goes by that True Faith book, it's a load of carp. The gigography here is based on the old Water Rat one, which hasn't been updated for many years. Sam Habash does a fantastic job in keeping everything up to date and fresh at http://www.new-order.net, the only resource worth checking for gig details.
