NO: 18 MAY 1985 Selina's Coogee Bay Hotel - Sydney, Australia
With Flotsam Jetsam & Scattered Order.
Tape from GaoBest, first-generation copy from analog master. Excellent sound.
There's about 1:40 '85 era intro before the group open with Temptation, a fairly unusual choice for the initial song.
About 20 seconds in Bernard says "sequencer".
BS: "Thanks very much."
Hooky counts up before New Order launch into Let's Go. The bass riff is mangled a bit during the intro.
BS: "As you may have noticed, there's no vocals on that song. It's because it was an instrumental."
Random punter comments:
"If I had the strength, I'd lift you up." "I've enjoyed the song very much..."
Some guitar tuning through to the next song, Love Vigilantes.
Barney hums the melody between verses.
BS: "Thank you very much."
Another long pause between tracks. Stephen quietly drums to fill the silence.
BS: "Is it possible that one of the road crew could tune my guitar, please?"
BS: "Could I possibly have another guitar, please? To replace the one that you are tuning...and a lead to plug in."
Don't let the politeness fool you, I don't think Mr. Sumner's much of a happy camper here.
The Village follows.
Hooky plucks his bass a few times. Punter calls out "'ardcore drummer".
BS: "Thank you. We'd like to dedicate today's set to somebody who sadly can't be with us tonight because he's dead."
Folks inexplicably *cheer*. Those wacky Aussies.
BS: "I think you all know this person...Mr. Elvis Presley."
(Thanks go to Drew for filling in the blanks)
Of course, five years ago to the day was when Ian Curtis killed himself.
We All Stand
Some more punter chatter about getting feet back together.
The Order than plow though Sooner Than You Think. A break of a few seconds, and then 5-8-6 follows.
BS: "Thank you very much. But don't break your necks."
Age Of Consent
There's a brief internal cut near the end that comprises the original A/B split.
Blue Monday
The sequencer misfires at the end of the song, but is quickly squelched.
Punters call out for Confusion. And the Order deliver, after a fashion.
BS: "Erm, I'd just like to say that even animals are people, and the next song is called Confusion."
lyric: "I see your future...innn your eyes".
The pre-gig backing tape sounds like Nitzer Ebb, but J Cross identified it as Cabaret Voltaire's "Sensoria", which is a great song.
The Perfect Kiss
BS: "Thank you very much. The next song is called "Anal Blood".
(Thanks to Drew once more, who's 99% certain that's what he's saying.)
Nice whooshing effect at the end.
Sister Ray
The bass riff for this version sounds different than what I've heard elsewhere!
lyrics:
"Her name was Sister Ray
She was all so gay!
Her name was Sister Ray
Her name was Sister Ray
She said 'I love you'
She said 'I love you'
She said 'I love you'
She said 'I love you'
She said 'sex dance'
She said 'sex dance'
She said 'sex dance'
She said 'sex dance'
She said this is a rare opportunity to score shit Everything that you call your brain
The thing that makes you all so gay
She said I've known you
If I, I've been cool
Like you, I've been cool
If you were as old as me
If you were as old as a tree
She said 'sex dance'
She said 'sex dance'
Sex dance
Sex dance
Sex dance, baby!
Baby, sex dance"
She said I started the human race in death [can't make out this line]
She said I started the human race in death I need to find...
To be...
Everything's all cold[?]
To...
To take drugs...etc.
The ending speeds up a la the version played in Brazil in '88, but not as much, and ends in a bass loop.
