NO: 02 MAY 1985 Koseinenkin Kaikan Hall - Tokyo, Japan
After many years, I've finally written up the 02 MAY 85 gig which was (mostly) featured on PFD, which this writeup was based on.
Hooky is fabulously wearing his "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" T-shirt. And he's playing in *sweats*, rather than in the leather trousers he's famous for.
The Perfect Kiss (song three), Age Of Consent (song seven), and Temptation (song eight) are inexplicably omitted from the video.
New Order come out to 'pomp-and-circumstance' type music, after quite a good house tape number that I can't place at the moment.
Confusion
PH: "Confusion"
Which they play.
BS: "Thanks very much."
Bernard swaps out his bass with a black Strat with a white faceguard. Wonder how often/long he had that particular guitar.
Love Vigilantes
Barney only sings first line of the second verse. After this song, he gives up his Strat for his usual axe.
We All Stand
BS: "Shhh..." (right before first verse)
BS: "Thank you very much."
As It Is When It Was
Still in nascent form, and features the following different lyrics.
lyric: "Until that day when the sun shown down, I was in the house where you were found."
The chorus is, "Whatever you do for me, the blind never see. Whatever you think of me, the deaf will never be free (or hear?)"
Second chorus is same except 'think' and 'blind' twice for 'do' and 'deaf'.
The refrain is as follows:
lyric: "We make a liviing out of writing songs. All the things in your life that go wrong [second line repeated a few times]..."
Ends with Hooky's bass.
Subculture
BS: "Thank you very much, now we'll play something else that you don't know. Sequencer up on stage, Ed. It's not there."
Afterwards...
BS: "Thank you very much. It's cost me an awful lot of money for guitar picks, so I wish you'd applaud louder."
Face Up is then played. Afterwards the cameras go black and white, which I've never understood, unless it was some low-light infrared camera.
Sunrise
BS: "This one's called Sunrise."
Sumner yells "Down!!" after singing "Live your life with hate".
House backing tape comes on again (the conclusion of the first song) and then it's Human League's "Don't You Want Me".
(encore)
This Time Of Night
BS: "Thank you. This next song is called 'Pumped Full Of Drugs'. A litle DMX through the wedgies, Ed....Ed, electric bass drum, it's not plugged in."
Blue Monday
A couple minutes go by before Bernard makes a startling announcement when a stage light shines in his face.
BS: "TURN THIS LIGHT OFF, YOU CUNT!"
This was my introduction (along with the guitar pick line above) to the wild world of Barney-isms.
Barney and Hooky at at least one point are singing different things. Good use of cowbell.
At the end, New Order leave their gear running, you can hear it as the house backing tape plays, and then a woman's voice starts talking.
And to watch...
