It was fantastic. I have no words to say.

Seven years after i went to Reading just to see them, this time our lads return the tribute by coming to my hometown. New Order were always there during my growth to be a man and despite the argues between "father" Hook and "father" Sumner ( mainly about the feedback in result of the unstopable running around of Hook ), it was another chance to thank them. Bernard gave his best to every song, screaming sometimes and trying to dance around. It was something to remember. Went to my older nephew (15) and hopefully another mancunian-in-spirit will rise. Don't know why but can't seem to stop listenning to New Order. Thank you

Now I must see them again, and again, and again. They're the most special band in the world... I knew it, now I'm sure.

Damn

Where were the New Order t-shirts at the gig ???? did anyone saw any???? i didn´t!!!! i was using my Smiths´ t-shirt to remember Barney´s project with Smiths´ guitarist Johnny Marr; another mancunian guy...

HEY PUTO!!!! nice review...i have loved it!!!!

Does anyone here has recorded the New Order gig????

I have 24 years and I’ve waited for this moment since my 14 years old(I know that there are people that have waited much more time...) because I am an huge fan of New Order since this height. It was amazing, spectacular, "name it", seeing New Order performing live. I stil do not know if it was true or a dream... Although the sound was bad, the “4 of Manchester” surpassed this problem in a brilliant form, and all the 20.000 people on the crowd enjoyed a lot. Superb atmosphere! ;) I vibrated with the most recent songs of the new album (i think it´s excellent) and went delirious with Temptation, Love Will Tear US Apart, Bizarre Love Triangle and of course with Blue Monday! The moment of homage to Ian was hair-raising.... no words to describe…. A real ceremony… I hope New Order could come back to Portugal soon, they have in here huge fans and a new concert would be another dream coming true! Please come back again guys!!! Cheers!

Many Thanks !!! antonio

I get absolutely atonished with this superb concert in Lisbon. even the sound wasn´t that good, this was one of the moments that I will retain in my mind forever. Hearing Bernard skreaming and seeing him dancing was simply undiscribeble... regarding joy division ... for a few moments we felt that Ian "was" really on stage. In fact new order has proven that they are much more than a band, they represent a generation and all his thinking culture. Good bless you all, and come soon to Portugal.

I don't know what to say... It was fantastic... I have no words; it was like reviving old times, a return of the past...and the memories! My blood was full of emotion!!!

I have waited 20 years to experience what i did yesterday night. Pure Joy, pure pleasure and the sound of New Order. Finally you guys made it to Portugal, what took you so long? The show was great, the band is tight and playing well, the songs were flowing and the energy was all there. I could not just stand still. Hooky was the bass devil, Stephen wa kicking the rithm great as always, Bernard was in a good spirit and pumping energy to the audience as did Phil. The encore was a surprise to me and Atmosphere blew me away. Watching Hooky going down to the pit playing in front of all those fans was a thrill. I can only say that i walked home singing Temptation and feeling happy as ever. Thank you guys. Ziggy
