this new order show was great! with P.I.L. and the sugarcubes warming the crowd up ,you can't go wrong.This was the only time i've seen new order and it was 15 years ago so i don't remember too much of it but i can remember dream attack and vanishing point. I also was in the third row right in front of hooky, and he just did'nt bodycheck the fan that jumped onstage , no, he was wearing wook boots ( probably steel toed ) and kicked the guy staight in the face ! i would never , ever , ever think of jumping on stage during a new order concert after seeing that. the crowd was realy into the groove and the band fed of that. i thought bernard could have looked into the crowd more but that's just him at that point of there career. PLEASE COME BACK TO BOSTON . i need my new order fix

The show was played at Great Wood in Mansfield, Mass. This was my first time seeing the mighty new order. The show was at a very high tempo as everyone was dancing. They sounded great and very raw(quite interesting for an elec. band) I do recall ceremony and Love Vigigantes. I couldn't take my eyes off of Hooky kicking his bass' ass. I did see him bodycheck some fan back into the audience. In 93 I saw them on the Republic tour, still great, but the dancy/grinding tempo wasn't as good as in 89. PLEASE COME BACK TO THE STATES!
