Good show that covered the usual JD/NO and Electronic history. Performed LWTUA , BLT and Getting away with it. Also performed a new song possibly called Sink or Swim.
He was joined by Phil Cunningham and Jake Evans (Rambo & Leroy) on all the songs.All the songs were acoustic.
At the end he mentioned about Bad Lieutenant and said they were finishing off an album and will perform it live.
Most importantly - I didn't see an autocue!! Must have been well hidden.
He played lwtua, blt, getting away with it and a new one 'sink or swim.' Looking forward to the new album and gigs.
Interesting to hear that Neil Tennant wrote most of "Getting Away With It" including the chorus.
Bernard also wore a Burberry styled rain mac coat all the way through the show.

No "come on", whistling or swearing during any of the songs.

Oooh, hope I can get on your list for a copy! How may packs of Capstan Full Strength do you want?

No problem - I'll find out on Saturday evening if he managed to record it (he texted me to say that he will do)...
Currently converting it intae small wmv files to put on youtube, will post links soon.
No surprises that Barney gave fuck all away, his memory is worse than mine 
Really enjoyed it though 
This song sound so good even if it is acoustic, imagine when we get to hear the studio version on the cd it is going to sound so good, Thanks shugZV for putting up this clip you made a guy in Brooklyn NYC very happy, thanks again
He's looking a bit weighty and very grey of hair, but then he is getting on a bit now... :\ohwell:
On the plus side, he sounded in fine voice.
One thing I did notice - the main chorus guitar riff in Sink or Swim is near identical to Catch The Sun by Doves. Still liked it though.
Brilliant - it's always great when we get another song from Bernard. The album should be interesting and we might even get it before Hooky's! Who'd have thought it.
No mention of Steve though- is he not involved?
Thanks Shug, really enjoyed all of that. Electronic really did sound good acoustically, something I never thought I'd be able to say.
Going to give the new song a few more listens, think I like it though. Bernard sounded great on them all.

Tennant wrote the (great) lyrics....the music is Sumner and Marr....mostly Sumner. Electronic actually started life as a Bernard Sumner solo record.
Bernard looked and sounded awesome! Songs all sounded great as well, though I would have rather heard something like TPK, TF, WFTSC, or Regret over LWTUA (something where Bernard wrote the lyrics).
I have so say..
The Bad Lieutenant song Sink or Swim sounds really good! Classic Bernard really....beautful uplifting melody, ageless plaintive vocals, daft lyrics that seem to make no sense but make perfect sense complete with bizarre metaphors.....could be a great New Order song even! Very excited for BL!
Absolutely brilliant!!! I love Sink or Swim. Great lyrics from BS, and the tune is just great. All the performances were enjoyable. I'd love mp3s or even flacs so I can take the audio with me.
Bad Leiutentant may not be so bad at all......
"When she leaves you, and you gave all you could give...."
thanks, Shug!
now i HAVE to say this: "what you doing" as first line AGAIN? (see Hey Jow and HNWYD from WFTSC)
