Stephen Hanula (via faclist@yahoogroups) writes the following:

I can't remember the set list but a friend of mine actually wrote it down and also the correct date.

Here's the CORRECT ORDER. The correct day was 8-5-85 (Monday, August 5, 1985 as I couldn't do my RADIO NINE show). At the Akron Agora. A Certain Ratio opened.

1. Blue Monday
2. Dreams never end
3. Everything's gone green
4. Lonesome tonight
5. (A song with the main lyrics being "This time of night". The song is

   I believe from the "Brotherhood" album and my best guess is either "Paradise" or "Way of life"

6. Subculture
7. ???? (Is what I wrote down)
8. Face up
9. Sunrise
10. In a lonely place

End of set. No encore.

The set list you sent me is nearly 100% wrong. The only 2 songs I wasn't certain about were from the "Brotherhood" album (#'s 5 and 7). Any New Order pre-1985 I would know 100%. They ABSOLUTELY DID NOT play "Temptation", "5-8-6", "Hurt", "Chosen Time", "Perfect kiss", "Confusion", and "Age of consent".

(We finally pinned down the aforementioned set to the 12 Aug 85 Atlanta date)

The Akron Agora is in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio...not to be confused with the venue by the same name in Cleveland.  It closed in 1994.

To date, NO recordings of this show have surfaced. 

There's a Facebook group devoted to the venue, but no mention of NO in there.
