Via funchal -São Paulo Nov 14th, 2006 After the long 18-year-wait, the guys were finally back in town. As soon as they stepped on the stage of Via Funchal, it was clear that things had changed since their last concerts in São paulo in 1988 - . Everything was there, the hits, Joy Division songs, grafitti on the amps, Peter, Barney, Stephen - oh yeah, we all missed gillian a lot, but Phil does a great job - but this time there was no distance between the band and the audience. The night was hot, a dream setlist, Peter would pose for every camera he would see, even Bernard came really close to the crowd asking them to sing along. A night to remember for the next 18 years. Emerson R. Brito. - São Paulo, Brazil.

Since I'm a very huge fan from Joy Division (and obviously from New Order too), this second gig at Sao Paulo - Brazil brought me to tears for two special reasons: the first one is that nothing less than 6 JD's songs were played; and the second is that I've waited 18 years for that, since I was just 15 y.o. when New Order first came to Brazil in 1988. My long wait was worthy: I'm not disapointed for waiting so long for this marvelous prize I got in the end!!! I hope to see you again soon!!! Carlos S. V. Porto Jr.
