Did they mention her joining them at any gigs? She was great today.

Not yet.Bernard talked just now about Tutti Frutti - originally it was called Slow Disco.Playing the live version from earlier on now.Oh and Bernard made a joke about new Liverpool manager Klopp is the guy talking on Tutti Frutti

well there's the gig. What does everyone think? I am a bit underwhelmed to be honest. The mix wasn't as good as the previous night, and the old songs sounded exactly the same as they did in 2012. They should remix them a little to freshen things up, at least use new samples. Restless I was looking forward to, but we couldn't here the strings and the song was played very fast. Lots of bands do that, play songs faster live, like 1.5x times speed. I don't get it. It doesn't sound good, it doesn't keep the musical flow. It's like they want to just get it over with. La Roux's voice was louder than Bernard's for the following songs. This was poorly mixed IMO. Nothing to write home about.

I wish the band will freshen up their entire setlist by either remixing "old" (as in they've performed since the reunion) songs, or replacing them with unperformed and rare songs. I've heard so many bootlegs and videocam recordings of their gigs from 2012 and 2013 that there isn't much special about seeing them live if they're going to do the same things.

the setlist today was: Singularity 586 Restless Bizarre Love Triangle Tutti Fruiti People on the Highline True Faith Blue Monday Temptation

This was their first gig of 2015. it's October. They've had plenty of time to freshen things up but it all sounded too similar for me.

I love Bernard's slightly different vocals BLT though.

They're performing entirely new songs! Is that not fresh enough for you?

And glad that they had Elly's voice louder in the mix… she's a better live singer… wise to make the most of that.

Barney probably wearing shades to hide the fact that he's reading lyrics for some songs. We all get old…. = ;87)

Edit - my CD single turned up at exactly the same time Rocket Mick!

Yikes, were they trying to embarrass the group / Bernard by playing the disastrous intro to Age of Consent from BBC '84 as a throwback clip in the middle of the interview? Humor aside, who wants a cringeworthy moment like that before playing a live set full of new tracks? Thought Bernard handled it well by joking about his shorts.

Thanks to a poster, we made it in. (Cheers Mr!)

Definitely not a standard NO gig but more like a live radio session in front of 200 people. I think there 4 or 5 people dancing in "Temptation." Which was most bizarre. They played well, the new stuff - especially "Tutti Frutti" and "People On The High Line" sounded great live : good to hear (and see) bum notes played live on "Blue Monday" and elsewhere. Give them a more responsive crowd and there will be great nights ahead. Also, I think this is the first New Order show since 1993 in the UK where they haven't played *any* JD material?

That is great that they will release Tom Rowlands version of Tutti Fruti , Bernard said it on the radcliff interview.

Wow, just listened to the audio of the full set.They sounded really really good, I wasn't so sure when i caught the last 25 minutes of the video stream on the way home but i did have crap iPhone earphones on and it kept buffering.Great idea to start with Singularity; it was really energetic and lively and a statement of intent. Bernard's vocals were top notch.Fantastic playing by all.Thought i'd be bored with 586 but i wasn't , it even sounded slightly different though the arrangement was the same, maybe the sound production gave it a different feel.Great to hear Restless live for the first time; i thought Bernard's vocals were ok if maybe a tiny bit nervy yeah but not as bad as i thought they'd be after reading a few peoples comments that he lost it a bit on this one in this live set.BLT was ok but Tutti Frutti soon followed and was ace .Was there a slight change of lyric from the album version by Bernard on one or two lines in this? Will have to listen again and report back.Great stuff though , much better live than i thought it'd be actually.People On The High Line - yep, pretty tight, sounding great.True Faith i could have done without and them choosing a different song but again, like 586, there seem to be a few different sounds on this live version that i hadn't heard before;was listening on headphones and thought i heard kind of a water dripping sound early on.BM and Temptation pretty faithful to the live versions of recent years and again, thought i might be a bit bored of them by now but i wasn't.Could hear a fair few shouts from the crowd during Temptation and sounded like people, understandably, were beside themselves with joy

Still a bit gutted the fricking Formula 1 Practice Session bollocks was on the red button instead of the live stream of the greatest band in the world.I would have been able to record it and see the whole set. All week each band that has played Maida Vale has been live on the red button but come to New Order's turn and they're replaced by shitty motor racing. God it's getting like Points Of View this.Anyway, looking forward to the 30 minutes of highlights tonight.Really hope Singularity and Tutti Frutti are included but i suspect most of it will be taken up by True Faith, Blue Monday and Temptation to please the passing average viewer.

The interview with Bernard and Elly on Radcliffe & Maconie show after the live set is at 36 mins 50 secs in here

Bernard ran out of breath during BLT - definitely 'real' and 'live'. They all seemed in good spirits. Gillian was pulling faces at the crowd during Bluer Montag when BS hogged the kayboards.

This has been a very strange day !

I work from home so I diligently set up my Hard Drive recorder to record the audio from the gig from Radio 6 on my Virgin box onto my Hard Drive Recorder.

At the same time I was able to watch the live stream of the video on my PC as it handily coincided with my lunch break.

......reminded me of the day in 1984 as a 17 year old I came home one sunny afternoon to record Rock around the Clock on Radio One FM on my Aiwa Cassette Deck to a TDK SA90 tape...

.....whilst watching the BBC TV broadcast and recording it to my old timers Betamax Video Machine !

....that feeling of excitement hasn't changed in over 30 years !!!

Yep i remember watching and listening (and recording) to the August 84 one.Had a massive impact on me at the age of 16.Funny how just a short 30 minute performance could leave such an imprint on my consciousness for years.Bizarrely i remember noticing people outside in the street walking past the house and i utterly couldn't for the life of me understand why they weren't also at home watching New Order live on tv .

Totally agree - I can remember that day like the day JFK died - I was fishing with some mates at a scabby canal in Leicester it was beautiful weather - but still shocked by the budgie smuggler shorts that Barney was wearing !!!

Oh really? How far into the show? Any clue as to how Rowlands version will sound?

Oh!! My bad. Thanks. Bernard rambles on a bit these days eh? Had to wait til 43 mins to get the Tutti Frutti bit.

We all do... if anyone has a recording as audio or video and wants to send me a PM, please do!

Should have had Singularity on ...still not spotted Diggy Mike but spoke to him for two hours earlier! We will be about at several gigs soon. Come over for a Thank and beer.

Wow.Phew! Just watched the highlights.They more than made up for missing most of the live stream earlier.Still on a high after a magnificent Temptation.WOW.

Thought it was only going to be half an hour so 45 minutes i'm more than happy with! Really glad and relieved they included Tutti Frutti.People On The High Line too! It was getting close to the end of half an hour and what i thought would be the end and i couldn't believe they hadn't included BM and Temptation so i was elated when it carried on past the half hour mark and those 2 songs were then aired.

Yep, i'm happy with the highlights - would have liked to have seen Singularity but Tuttti Frutti,People On The High Line, Blue Monday and Temptation were brilliant.Oh and Restless too.Superb.

See you at Wolves and Brixton 2nd night Johnny?...People on the tube line!

I would've arranged to meet some of you, but didn't even know I was going until 10.45pm last night...

Restless

Interview

Recorded the highlights and copied them over to laptop with the kit but have got a fairly loud annoying hum.It's from the video line . Trying to work out how to solve this and then re copy over.Something to do with ground loop causing interference apparently.Can't get rid of the hum😕 [ohwel l]
