Do people think this will be the 3rd Manch vs cancer gig/Wilson tribute combined, or a one off show for Tony?

Hopefully a full NO gig one-off, rather than a half hour JD set.

Not in the slightest, I would much rather have 90 mins of BLT, Toothache and Temptation for one last time than 30 mins of butchered JD alone.

From Manchester Evening News site:

"New Order set for reunion? Dianne Bourne 11/ 9/2007

NO sooner have the original band members of New Order gone their separate ways than rumours surface that the group may be reunited - for a one-off tribute to the late, great Factory Records boss Tony Wilson.

The legendary Manc band split earlier this year after bass player Peter Hook announced he was no longer working with singer Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris.

But Peter has now revealed that he has discussed the possibility of reforming the band for a one-off tribute to Tony - the man who first signed the band to his Factory label in their former incarnation, Joy Division.

Hooky told the M.E.N: "It's very typical New Order to split up and then get back together again just like that isn't it?

"The idea has been mooted by Oliver (Tony Wilson's son) - that was when it was talked about.

"And the thing is, for Tony, I'd do anything.

"So, I'm not ruling anything out - I never do really."

Since the death of `Mr Manchester' last month, there has been much talk about what will be the most fitting tribute to music mogul and broadcaster Tony, with suggestions including a huge memorial concert.

And Hooky says he doesn't think any tribute could be too big for a man so influential in his own, and Manchester's, life.

He tells me: "What I'd like is a huge statue of Tony, stood there, legs akimbo, on Princess Parkway, with `Welcome To My Manchester' on the top of his head - that's what I'd like.

"I don't personally think, for someone who was as important to me as Tony was, that any kind of tribute is too big - particularly when you think how much he gave to this city."

Can I just point out that New Order didn't play at the Rob Gretton show (Fac 511).

So far there have been encouraging mumbles from Steve and now Hooky but Bernard...?

If we're true to Tony's memory then I suppose the bill would also have Enter Shikari, Cat on Form and all that bollocks emo he professed to like in the past five years.

Personally I'd like to see the bill consist of:

New Order Happy Mondays ACR Durruti Column*

DJ's pickering etc.

Wilson's first gig was Peter Paul and Mary and as we know he was a big Leonard Cohen fan so there can be some quiet folky nonsense in the bar.

Venue: Ritz or Apollo I suppose (more chance that we'd all fit in a bigger hall) not one of these soulless barns.

* interview suggestion - now Wilson's gone, one of the nicest, most interesting people left in Manchester is Bruce Mitchell. Has he been interviewed ever by NOOL? Lucid, fascinating and with a historical perspective to challenge Hooky's.

So exactly how long are we going to have to shit ourselves about the possibility of missing out on tickets?? Given the huge publicity surrounding Tony's passing I imagine they'll be in serious demand.

Unless they play in Bournemouth, eh?

Yeah i'm a bit busy too. Unless they fancy doing it in berlin on 17th November. Or Milan on 14th November. Either will do.

The problem with this is now, as i've said before, it'll be acknowledged as the "last ever gig" as it'll overshadow everything else. Shame really.

The more I read about this, the more I think it will be later rather than sooner. Like maybe the first anniversary of Tony's passing, or around his birthday (whenever that was)This will give Bernard time to relearn the words to Face Up and Sunrise. The rob Gretton gig was five years later...

I hope this will happen! Surely Gillian could re learn her synth parts for one final show, especially seeing as how it will be in Manchester.

It'd be cool to have Gillan and Phil play, actually......imagine how full it would sound!

My Ideal Set List.

  1. Regret
  2. Krafty
  3. Love Vigilantes
  4. Ceremony
  5. Crystal
  6. Waiting For the Sirens Call
  7. Your Silent Face
  8. Everythings Gone Green
  9. Touched By the Hand of God
  10. Confusion
  11. Guilt is a Useless Emotion
  12. Fine Time
  13. Temptation
  14. Bizarre Love Triangle
  15. True Faith
  16. The Perfect Kiss
  17. Blue Monday

ENCORE

  1. In a Lonely Place
  2. Atmosphere
  3. Heart and Soul
  4. Transmission
  5. Love Will Tear Us Apart

SECOND ENCORE

  1. Age of Consent
  2. World in Motion (Loud, drunken, fun, crazy, loose, chaotic version)

One can dream. They could actually play this setlist....they have all of the above songs programmed on thier current equipment and I think it covers every single album.

It would be great to see Gillian play with the band again. Only seen her play live once back in 89.

Ideal line up for the WIlson gig would be

  1. New order playing as Joy Division (half hour set)
  2. New Order (hour and half set)
  3. Section 25
  4. Happy Mondays
  5. Duritti Column

Going to see the Mondays in Notts on the 27/9. Not sure what it'll be like, but should be a good crack (no pun intended)

Hooky's latest blog:

"Can I just clear up this Manchester Evening News Article. In a conversation with Oliver Wilson about a tribute gig for his father, he asked me what the chances were of getting New Order to perform. I said, "Seeing as we have just split up, pretty slim.", he then said to me "If I could get the others to agree, would you do it?", I said "In honour of your father, I'd do anything."

This means I would sell the popcorn, take the tickets, sweep up after, play bass in New Order/Joy Division/Crawling Chaos.

I do wish that people would read things properly before mouthing off. I am definately going to have to learn to keep my big fat mouth shut (but I blame the bloody press!). And as Tony would say "Fuck em!"

P.S My beautiful daughter Heather is doing the typing, hence no mistakes, and beautiful punctuation and spelling. (I did the last blog as well!!)"

Why half and half? Not a very fair return, now is it? Joy Division were a minority band who produced two albums in - what? - three years. New Order have produced four times that amount of studio albums and lasted close on 25 years longer than their original incantation. They've headlined festivals worldwide whereas Joy Division did, basically, diddley-squat live and, arguably, the latter simply don't have the sheer depth of tunes that New Order ever produced.

But that's just my opinion.

One Joy Division track for every five New Order in a live set though - and that's still pushing yer luck.

I think they should do a few JD, Electronic, Revenge/Monaco as the support band, then play the singles in chronological reverse order.

Not in the slightest, I would much rather have 90 mins of BLT, Toothache and Temptation for one last time than 30 mins of butchered JD alone.

how would it be butchering jd songs?

Try watching one of the vids or listening to the recordings, and make your own mind up! :laugh:

Why half and half? Not a very fair return, now is it? Joy Division were a minority band who produced two albums in - what? - three years. New Order have produced four times that amount of studio albums and lasted close on 25 years longer than their original incantation. They've headlined festivals worldwide whereas Joy Division did, basically, diddley-squat live and, arguably, the latter simply don't have the sheer depth of tunes that New Order ever produced.

But that's just my opinion.

One Joy Division track for every five New Order in a live set though - and that's still pushing yer luck.

I thought Wembley was good for that... you had Joy Division opening for New Order :lol:

nah, I don't think so. New Order never did any side project songs on stage.

And we all want New Order to reform, not the side projects.

Indeed*!*

Amusingly this made it into the "Pandora" gossip section in today's Independent under the title "Hook no longer out of order" saying Hooky was rejoining the band for one last gig!

Er, 24hrs after Hooky basically said he wasn't. :crazy:

Weren't the band supposed to play a gig a couple of months ago (after Hook had announced the split). He would only do it if the others agreed to call it the final gig, they weren't up for that so it never happened? Any gig now would be known to be the final gig whether called it or not. Who knows. I'm (still) keeping my fingers crossed.

This story now being touted on BBC R6 news.

The station is citing Mr Hook's hallowed 'blog' as the source of all information/divine goodness/heavenly light/spiritual salvation etc etc.

For goodness sake everyone, calm down.

Regardless of whether NO 'reform' for a 'one off' (yeah, right) Wilson gig, we'll be seeing plenty more New Order in the future anyway... just not for 4 or 5 years.

You're all a bunch of drama queens. Relax!

Lets just chill for a bit.............. yes.............

Ok.

It would be a fantastic thing if they reformed for wilson gig because............ tony wilson adored them. Totally adored them. Despite the money grumbles / shite financing/ hac down the tube etc/ tony absoluely loved them and always will.

So if they did play together in his honour, there definately would be a little peep over the glasses on the edge of his nose and a broad grin from heaven....

Who cares what they play!

We are fans and if the got up and played teenage kicks theough their butt holes we would all still love them...... just like Tony.

Tony was their boss but he was also their number 1 fan (although gretton was probably a close 2nd with johnny giles in at number 3, pop pickers...........)

If they get back together for Tony for one gig it would be great. It would finish off the legacy of JD & NO and I would be very content, let alone poor old Tony. (He was smashing by the way. A really lovely bloke when I met him in Glasgow. (And for the record...... I never called him a twat)

........ and I'm back in the room.

the whole JD / NO thing needs some closure. This final one off gig would provide an opportunity to do so. I suggest that they play all their singles (A sides only) in order of release. The 1st encore could feature the better album tracks in reverse chronological order. The 2nd encore could be a 20 minute jam/medley of the B sides with a guest appearance by Gillian.

I'm not the biggest fan but even I know JD had it's closure:crazy:

And as for the concept of a fan needing 'closure' on a band ... that's far too Americanised warm fuzzy and physcobabbleish :nonono:

I'd be delighted if they played all of Closure as long as they play all Unknown Pleasers as well.
