Bad times mate. It's still standing, just. On its last legs these days. Way time to get a new one.

Perhaps we can have a whip round to pay for restoration, or have it preserved, after all it is a very important part of New Order history :)

Now there must be a story to go with that one...

Low blood pressure + standing for a long time + Alcohol - Food = Stretcher

A tried and tested formula.

First time I ended up on a stretcher was at a festival in Belgium.. I awoke thinking I was paralyzed as I couldn't move.. I now know that they strap you down so you cannot get away... Once the first aiders have you in their grasp they don't like to let you go... Had to convince one lot my 80/50 blood pressure was my norm as they wanted to take me to hospital..

Gutted I never went to the 1998 gigs when they got back together, was just so crap at sorting things out then, still going to clubs alot in those days, gigs were not high priortiy. In fact it was their 2001 gig that got me back going to gigs again.

Its a shame they split up in the 1990's, hardly played any UK dates for the Republic tour, don;t really like the Reading festival.

Not going to Brussles or Paris but hopefully they will do some UK dates.

Mine is 55, and Nick, thats where my money went too!!! Even got most of the ticket stubs or some poster for "proof"!!! The Hemel Hempstead gig in 1985 was a poor ticket mind!!!Strange times the 80's.

Recent gigs have melowed a bit, I was always one to watch and listen rather than get "messy". Funnt though, I recall people who I did not know at the time at gigs years )decades even) later. Most notably is Alex and if I knew at the time he was such a huge Chameleons fan I would have seen him more, such an undrated band.......but thats a different story.

Love Mr Al's penguin island story - probably because I live and work in Sydney now and got more chance to visit penguin island than seeing New Order live!!!

October 86 Royal Albert Hall April 87 Woolwich Coronet June 87 Finsbury Park Factory in the Park June 87 Reading Uni December 87 Wembley Arena 2005 Hyde Park

I can't believe I didn't see them after 87 but I know I tried getting tickets several times to shows that had sold out before I heard about them. Would have loved to have seen them earlier in their career but I'd never really considered that bands played live.

Mrs 79 has been to 7 with me including our first together at Brighton centre in 1986, this was actually my chat up line as she lived near Brighton at the time and I asked her to pop down and get me a ticket.What a girl

she also went with me to see Revenge at Brighton Zap club in 1990.... since which time she has not bothered with anything new order related.

vanishing point.

Brussels or Paris will be about my 50th or more i'll get me pocket calculator out.So i am expecting a free bar,cake,strippers & Roger Lyons said he will sort it out for me to sing BLT at 1 of the gigs.....CHAMON!!!!!!

Ps. I lied about singing.......i'm playing the drums instead!!!

You haven't been to see REM recently have you?

Just counted up and it's around 25 times,the first 82 The Venue Blackpool. Last 2001 Liverpool Olympia. The dates tell their own story, lost interest in the "Phil Era", a lot.

Live from 83 to 86/7 is still fresh in my mind Donny, Leeds, Brum rowing club etc(the Tower). Two great nights at the State. Preston and Blackburn. You never knew, how it would go, even if the previous night was amazing. I'm sure they didn't either....

Seriously considered flying back for Brussels and Paris, bit much to bite off at the moment.

01 NOV 86 Irvine Meadows - Irvine, California 12 SEP 87 Irvine Meadows - Irvine, California 28 APR 89 Universal Amphitheater - Los Angeles,
California 16 JUN 89 Irvine Meadows - Irvine, California 17 JUN 89 Aztec Bowl - San Diego, California 18 JUN 89 Irvine Meadows - Irvine, California 26 JUL 93 Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood, California 05 AUG 01 Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion- Devore, California 05 MAY 05 Hammerstein Ballroom - New York, NY

Respectable, but not excessive.
