Hello everyone,

The only tour we have problems to verify and double check everything is the Technique tour, so anybody able to help find out errors and omissions please go ahead.

Here are one information I can't confirm yet:

New Order played a gig in Puerto Rico prior to the show in Miami. Unfortunetly I am unable to confirm the date as the tour t-shirt is long gone. - David Molyneux

Same person was not sure the Montreal gig happened as he heard it was cancelled :confused:

If you have information, SHARE IT :D

I have a pink t-shirt with a star and 89 on it somewhere in the house, I'm sure it gives all the North American dates, I'll see if I can find it later, but obviously it won't be able to confirm whether the gig was actually played.

I'm sure a sweet thing such as yourself has LOADS of pink shirts!!!!

Haven't seen one of those in a few years. Certainly brings back memories. Of course there were two stages but I am not sure if there was ever one made with both of them listed.

Note the Detroit show which was initially postponed, and eventually performed between the DC show (Columbus) and the NYC one (Meadowlands). Barney was apparently not up to it first time round.

The San Juan gig at the start of the April leg of the tour did NOT go ahead though the band were there and attempts were made to play - Rob Gretton told me in Miami that the weather conditions were so bad in P.R. that there was little chance of the gig going ahead.

Blimey Jon, you could have told me 14 years ago!

So we DID make the first gig on the US '89 tour.

Splendid.

The shirt I had, had one big star on the front with 89, so it's slighly different to the one above Sebsy, according to the Paradise Fanzines, they were quite rare. Can't find the bloody thing anyway:nonono:

Jeff......who's the Jessie? :skeptic: :lol:

The shirt displayed above is the second of two available - I'll scan my one from the first part of the tour so you can see the relevant dates...

Great!!!

It will be nice to have that one as well... and if someone can put his hand on a picture of the Republic black cap with a flame logo too, that would be nice!

Other t-shirts from the Technique tour also include the following:

And the "89" with a star that Shugzy was referring to is probably something similar to what is shown on the green pin below:

The "June 14 Oakland/Mountain View" show is the one you attended. The Shoreline Amphitheatre is in Mountain View which is near San Jose. Since Mountain View is a smaller town south of the San Francisco Bay, shows there are often advertised as being in San Jose or San Francisco. Oakland is actually about 40 miles away so they were pushing it a bit with that shirt.

I'll buy that...it was awhile ago and I've spent the remaining years since traveling the globe getting pissed of my ass...welcome to sunny Okinawa everybody!!!

ummm....this is nothing to do with the USA technique tour but instead about the Aussie SUBSTANCE tour featured on this site.... I thought I may be able to assist with some minor detail:

The Aussie tour is actually considered as the BROTHERHOOD tour coz I have some stuff of it - newspaper ad of the tour ( gotta dig up my garage, its hidden there somewhere...) the tour t-shirt is white with half of brotherhood cover ( I used to have 2 of these tees, one still mint..but its all gone after a home burglary, together with my SMITHS & JAMC tees... :cry: ) I have the set list of the Selinas gig coz I recorded the gig on tape and still have the ticket stub but again I have to dig in my garage for that.... I'll send you the details in the near future...

Problem with New Order, they didn't have real "tour names"..

in 1993 it was "Live From Republic", in 1998, there was no real name, in 2001 those were the concerts for Get Ready, but can you count the 2002 concerts as part of the same tour? they were done 6 months later!!!

So basically, again, they don't do anything like everyone else..

I may have already said this before, if so then I apologise for repeating myself, but the subject is still very much valid and relevant.

Rather than having dates arranged by "Tour" (which is a very Deepache Mod/U2/non-relevant band type thingy anyway), why not have the gig dates arranged by year ? That way, we can see at a glance which dates were in 1987 etc - that's surely the only way to approach a project as apparently random as New Order live !

Well, if you convince Sebastien, I'll be the first to do it.. (after the move) :D

It's his "project" the Tour & Concers section... ;)

Ok...

  1. Did the Montreal gig happened? (I live here, and I have no idea.. but too many people are unsure of that)

  2. I have been told to add:

7/4/1989 - Darien Lake, New York (USA)/ Darien Lake Theme Park

Can anyone confirm it..?

The list of venues is pretty much complete, does anyone know the venue for Pittsburgh?

I imagine the NoCal gig was in Mountain View. It's often listed as San Francisco on t-shirts, even though it usually takes at least an hour to get to mountain view from SF (it's about 35-45 miles south of San Francisco on the Peninsula and about 10 miles north of San Jose right near Great America Amusement Park, and Moffett Naval Air Station (which closed in the early nineties).

I do know that they played in Mountain View during the Republic tour at the Shoreline Ampitheatre in July of 1993, and I think they played there during the Area One tour with Moby as well. Really when people play outside, they usually play at the Shoreline Ampitheatre (15-20,000 capacity) or the Concord Pavilion (which is probably a tougher draw since its a little outside the bay area). SF gigs, and Oakland/Berkeley gigs (unless they are at the Oakland Coliseum, or the basketball arena right beside it, I saw the Beastie Boys there in '98)tend to draw bands with smaller audiences, with the exception of stadium gigs, bands that are too big to play clubs play the Pavilion in Concord, or the Ampitheatre in Shoreline when they are in NoCal, and if they've got an enormous audience (Metallica and Dave Matthews are good examples in the bay area) they play at the sports stadiums. Dave Matthews played the first ever gig at new Pac Bell park (i think the capacity is something between 38-42,000) in 2001, all the yuppie/dot commers bitched and moaned about the noise, but that's what happens when you decide to spend six figures on a freaking apartment as a status symbol in SF (no matter how bad the rent is where you are, it's inconceivable that it could be worse than rents in the bay area, particularly in that area of SF, I've got to get out of this area).
