pretty horrible from my seat about 10 miles away from the stage....new order/wembley arena...this was a death toll for me..

Agreed. Didn't care if I saw them again after that. Well, I did, obviously, but was so disconsolate after. Worst gig they've probably ever done IMO. Terrible terrible venue. The Pogues played there in the following week and wrecked the joint. Shame that.

A good box set would be 2 NO live + 2 JD live - previously unreleased, with pix and new Saville artwork. I'd buy it straight away.

As for the Wembley Arena gig - I really enjoyed it - 6 rows back, right in front of Hooky, thanks to my brother. Sister Ray was a bit crap though...
