Never see 'J-D' but had plenty of dreams about seeing them.
Hammersmith Palais-85' for 'N-O' loved it and never looked back from there on. Remember Barney saying something about 'knowing when you've made it & tonight they had' then playing 'Ceremony'
a) The 'Here are the young Men' video b) Hull Tower 10th March 1982. Still have the press cutting review from the Hull Daily Mail toilet paper moaning about the fact they did an encore - a 20+ minute version of ultraviolence - during which the band left one by one leaving hooky and then just the drums machines. Most people missed the encore because the last buses from the town centre left at 10.30 and NO ran over that time. Have got some great pictures from the gig which I may post (may scan the review aS well) somewhere including one of Gillian in a rather short skirt. I had hair then as well.

Bummer 'bout that Kimberly. :( I think, technically, if you were living in Boise when they played at the Gorge, you were a bit closer to the event than I was, but that's just thinking off of the top of my head, with no research.

The reason the ticket is still whole, and not just a stub, is that when I arrived a bloke wearing a laminated pass whisked me off down to the dressing room because "Barney wants to borrow a New Order shirt to wear tonight". Alas, being only a skinny 15 year old, the Factus8 one I was wearing wasn't going to fit, so I was dispatched back into the venue. He eventually came on stage in a Psychic TV one.
Another thread I just had to return to the top. And whose Psychic TV t-shirt was Barney wearing that night? Step forward Mr Molyneux.
And I knew a story off a mate of mine who keeps badgering Barney to play Pompey again, but Barney always says last time they played Pompey there was a big car accident involving their fans who were following them out of town that night. And there's me talking to DM who turns round and says, "Yeah, we were following Hooky's black Granada out of Portsmouth after the gig when our car over-turned!". Small. World.

Fucking hell, you're kidding!!! Obviously not. We passed that accident too. Really put the shit up my girlfriend's brother, coz he'd offered to pick us up and had only passed his test the week before.
Didn't it kick off a bit that night? Better ask DM if he knows anything about that!

Didn't it kick off at every single New Order gig in the mid 80's? Actually, didn't it just kick off anywhere, New Order or not?!
Yeah, seeing DM later tonight and he mentioned something about get clocked himself at that gig - think he said someone took offence at him poncing around with his Access All Areas pass on down the front!
There's some story about him bringing a Kraftwerk t-shirt for Barney to wear at Heaven shortly after, but he wouldn't wear that one.. He's got a helluva lot of stories!
Yeah....beer, New Order, fight. Standard night out, really!
On a serious note, I hope no-one was hurt in that smash. Always assumed whoever was in it wouldn't have got out.

Talking to DM 'bout this on Friday, he said that he was in a car behind the one that rolled. Both his car & Hooky's pulled over to check if the passengers were ok. This geezer crawls out of the wreck, sees Hooky, gives him a big thumbs up & says 'great gig'!.
Originally posted by Green Sure enough... Fac 117 (they were an American band, but don't remember where from, California probably).
leave it to Green to have something from the obscure land 
oh, and to answer this thread zero on both counts, unless you count video tapes, than it would be 1986 for both (Here are the young men and Taras)

Haha - Barney left after about 5 mins of the encore - it sounds like it was just Hooky after about ten mins !
