New Order Live Birmingham 1983
Seemed to dowload and un-stuff easily on a Mac so apologies to any of you dirty pc users if you have problems - go get something with a decent OS! ;-)
Good recording, if a little distorted on the loud tracks. 1st time NO played a JD song the crowds reaction is so enthusiastic it completely throws Gillian.
Just listen to the analogue warmth of Temptation. New Order 98+ eat yer heart out!
Shit gig though besides Temptation. Never liked it, then or now. They were much better at the same venue in 85 and 86.
I had a red bootleg vinil of this concert many years ago but some who shared the expenses with me took it away from me

and some of the loosest versions of the other songs in the set!
Killer version of Temptation for sure. I'd rather they played it like this or not at all!
Slight drum box trouble on BM and Truth I think. On the former, it's jammed on one pattern, and on the latter it's either decided to play it in a funny time signature, or the snare it a semiquaver later than it should be....I can't decide, and it sounds like the band can't either.
PS....DIGI!!!! Where did you get such a cool (and non wobbly) pic of SHADO's nemesis?

Googled UFO images Doc 
I has this gig on a bootleg cassette, and gave it to some girl i knew who was off to university back in 1990.
I eventually got a shag two years later, so this brings back good memories.
Blue Monday sounds gash though
