53/1 and counting.....
Dave Molly's on 140+, Stash is in the 70s, Jarvo's in the 60s I think. JS is probably nearing three figures.

Thats what I call a hardcore support, good memories eh? Got hundreds of photos from 83/84,tickets etc
I've done 25ish but none for 16 years
New Order just once : Finsbury Park 2002.I don't live at the foot of their garden 
Joy Division maybe my father saw them a few times
Only 2 for me, and if I was still living in Cape Town it would have been zero. That's what you get for spending your life in the colonies.

Not someone playing football in England. No one is famous here doing this...;)
Only once.. I am a fan since 1990, and they only managed to tour ONCE in our part of the world... Toronto 1993.
Damn it, why didn't they come to the east coast in 2001-2002? 
G-MEX 88,NEC 89,READING 89,READING 98,APOLLO 01,BARROWLANDS 01,FINSBURY PARK 02,OLD TRAFFORD 02.8 TIMES ONLY.
Reading 98
Brixton Academy 2001
Old Trafford 2002
Poor but not bad for someone handicapped by Geography and age, I guess.
Just once!! I know, very poor, but my excuse is that I'm only 22.
And my excuse for only seeing them once on the Get Ready tour is that I was still at university at the time. I promise to do better next tour.
Reading 93
Reading 98
Finsbury Park 2002
A paltry three gigs in ten years and two of them were only five minutes down the road. I am a lazy man.
reading 98, ally pally 98, liverpool 2001, manchester apollo 2001, manchester move fest 2002.
5 times for me then.
saw revenge 3 times, monaco 3 times and electronic once.
there was a thread on this a while back with everyones answers on - don't think there have been many gigs since then but had a lot of replies...
Funny thing is that at Reading 98 I was at the second or third row and I am pretty sure that most people around me were future Nooliners.
By the way: who did the proper thing to do and walk away ignoring Garbage?
New York 1981 Tokio 1985 London 1987 Glastonbury 1987 New York 1987 Reading 1993 Reading 1998 Finsbury 2002

I was there with Iain and Bunny, and my mates H, Steve and Snaz who a lot of people here know from gigs, plus assorted girlfriends, and indeed, we all fuct off in town and attempted to drink the hotel bar dry straight after New Order finished. Gary and Gordie similarly shot off to a mates and I believe Mad Darren went looking 'for girls and drugs'. Not sure which he found?
1 New Order - Macaranãzinho 1988 Rio de janeiro Brazil Tour. 1 Revenge - Hotel Nacional 1990 Rio de Janeiro Brazil Tour.

Tim,
did you already mention, in an earlier thread, which JD gig you attended? Sure would love to hear about your impressions...
1 time = Mountain View (S.F.), Shoreline Ampitheater 1993
The sad thing is that my wife has seen them more times than I have and she doesn't even like them.
I now live in the Eastern U.S. if only they would play within 500 miles of where I live I would travel to see them again in a heartbeat!
13 to date :-
Blackburn '85 Lancaster '85 Preston '85 Liverpool '86 Bradford '86 G-Mex '86 Newcastle '86 Wembley '87 G-Mex '88 Manchester MEN '98 Liverpool '01 Manchester Apollo '01 Manchester Move '02
I can't end on 13, there has to be Manchester '04.

It seems there was a lot of neworderonliners in Finsbury Park concert last year(including me :D)
I've seen newOrder only once in 1983 at the Seaview Ballroom (or Crystal Ballroom as it was sometimes called) in melbourne, australia, but i have a funny feeling this gig was actually at a place called The Venue just down the road from the Seaview (can't remember, should have kept my ticket stub).

November 82 ? Or May 85 ?

November 82 ? Or May 85 ? It would have to be november 1982, i don't remember much about it, i was completely off my face (as you are when you are young and stupid), i just remember Hooky's bass pounding into my brain.

All of the above attended with Shug + Finsbury Park '87 Wembley Arena '87 G-Mex '88 Dublin '93
Saw New Order just once, but at their first tour, i guess, in Germany, 1980 in Berlin (West). Took some photos, one of Bernard is featured in the Media section, at the very bottom - - - - Last Year I didn't bother to buy tickets in advance, so I had to listen to Joy Division songs on the stairs in front of the Hall, so next time I know better ...

Don't you start Julio, it's bad enough trying to answer the slapheid back;)

He hasnae got a job at all, he was on the dog and bone last night, he's in jail, apparently he had to shag some bloke called Nigel for the phone card. Strangeways is the Rocket's current home, he should be out in a week or 2 for good behaviour.
A sad four:
Dec '83 - Brixton Academy May '84 - Royal Festival Hall (Decades) Jan '85 - Michael Sobell Sport Centre, Finsbury Park Dec '85 - Hammersmith Palais
A mere amateur compared with most of you, but 4 gigs in unquestionably NO's finest period for gigging.
May '84 - Royal Festival Hall (Decades)
Gotta be my all-time favourite bootleg. Pity I wasn't there. What a set. Still sends shivers down my spine when i hear Decades.
Originally posted by masaaki sakai so at least you could enjoy four of them in peace!
Funnily enough two of the four which were Shug free, ie. Finsbury 87 + G-Mex 88 were my most enjoyable gigs. No offence Shuggy.

Yep 
it was unbelievable, some people were almost in tears. IMHO it qualifies as one of the "legendary" NO gigs. Also, I was one of the photographers Barney referred to either just before, or just after LMA, still have the pictures somewhere, I'll dig them out and ask Nic to post them.

Until this post, I didn't believe in coincidences!

Possibly one of the ultimate New Order moments, the first few seconds of Decades.
WALTHAMSTOW 81- Cabaret Voltaire and Simple minds also played elsewhere in London that night,straight after the show, I thought I chose the wrong gig but of course I chose correctly. KILBURN 82- they came on late, we left early worried about missing public transport home.Miised the awfall jam with 52nd Street.
FUTURAMA 82-it was sensational to be there, also first met Ian Thompson(Eddie Wolfram) who had a massive bootleg tape stall at back of hall!
BRIXTON ACE 83- Brilliant show, good (not so)friendly banter with crowd.Met Mark Johnson for first time.
HACIENDA 83- What an event! kept us waiting for hours in scorching heat, girlfriend almost passed out. Outstanding gig. Best version of Thieves Like Us.
Brixton Academy 83- Absolute shite, looked closely at Barney during Procession, completely pissed/stoned.Rubbish
Royal Festival Hall 84- 'Decades',Incredible encore. Thought we could see Ian Curtis ahead of us in crowd (true!).Mark Johnson showed us pre copy of his book.
Southampton 84- Ended show with debut of 'Sunrise', could'nt get it out of my head for a long time. Excellent Indian Takeaway.
Margate 84- Met Rob Gretton by the sea, he liked my 'tour' t-shirt. Shit gig though.
Chippenham 84- Much better, also met band backstage, Gillian offered me a drink, I wanted to make a move for her but Steve was close by!
Heaven, London 84- Fantastic gig, Barney wearing only his boxers, appropriate for venue. Perfect Kiss was just that.
Leeds 85-Great showcase for Low-Life, band were excellent.Worth the trip up from London.
Finsbury Park 85- practically my back yard. Special gig.
Birmingham 85- very good show, had to pogo for 'Denial', favourite song then.
WOMAD 85- first and last festival for me, good performance. Freezing night, Barney in shorts!
U.L.U 85- left Banshees early to catch most of this gig, fantastic ad hoc lyrics during Love Vigilantes.
C.L.P. 85 -bloody rowdy crowd, some twat threw a shoe? at Hooky during Dreams Never End. Exceptional performance.
Brighton 86 - uninspiring gig, highlight was Lets Go.
GMEX 86 -Brilliant all dayer, Ceremony sung by Ian McCulloch, at end of song, Barney-'thanks very much, fuck off' superb.
Birmingham 86 -Same venue as 85, nice palm trees. Hooky and Barney deal with fool who shouts 'pop group'. Barney ruins it by apologising later.
Royal Abert Hall 86 - met Barney and Gillian backstage before gig, priveleged to watch soundcheck from behind the stage. Spotted Pat Nevin at the show
Woolwich 87 -worth the trip to deepest, darkest sarf london for this. Was Barney singing Do The Ostrich, nah, must have misheard him.
Finsbury Park 87 -'move back or they'll set the dogs on you' Hooky. Brilliant gig and it DID smell like cows shit in there.
Wembley 87 -I hate Wembley Arena. Too vast, sound was shit from where I was sitting which was at the back. my last gig.
