NO: 13 DEC 1985 Salle Du Baron - Orleans, France
Another one of the Stash/ATR mixers. This soundboard is especially quiet, there wasn't a mic to pick up ambient audience noise, it seems. There's also an audience version extant.
Elegia
(at the end)
BS: "Thank you very much, we're New Order."
The Perfect Kiss
PH: "Love the sounds of your own voices don't you, you boring bastards."
Hooky (I think) calls out "Eddie!" off-mic shortly after the song begins.
Probably the cleanest live version of this you'll ever hear.
Weirdo
Get a load of Gillian's guitar playing here in the beginning. Probably not helped by having this forefront in the mix.
lyric: "I don't care about the human race, and I don't care about your fucking face."
(at the end)
PH: "Fucker." [coughs]
Love Vigilantes
BS: "Eh, this one's called Love Vigilantes. (clears his throat) Brighten 'em up, Ed, brighten 'em up, brighten 'em up."
BS: (a few seconds later) "Turn the drums up, Ed."
BS: (at 1:26) "More drums, Ed." He misses his cue as he mumbles "My wife walked..." before saying silent for twenty seconds until he can restart.
BS: (at 1:55) "Too much!"
Hurt
PH: (off-mic) "Ready?"
This is the next-to-last time New Order play this one. A very good run-through, with Hooky and Barney's vocal interplay being a highlight.
Sooner Than You Think is next.
ICB
The last time New Order perform this one. Diginoise glitch at 0:01.
This Time Of Night
BS: "Hi, everyone. Bonjour. A la nuit. This one's called, eh, Dans cette time a la nuit. Fromage a Potage. Fucky fucky. Fucky fucky."
BS: "More drum machine, Eddie baby, more drum machine."
BS: (at 1:10) sings "The bass sequencer I cannot hear. If you turn it up, my ears will feel much better, Eddie. I can hear the bass sequencer. Turn it up, you..." Hooky bravely adds the correct backing vocals.
And this gorgeous sequence:
"Without you they'll never fucking show Without you my dick won't grow
Without you they'll never know
Without you my dick's like a bone
Without you I've lived in pain
Without you my anus is insane"
and...
"We know the feel of pain
Turn your back and fuck your brain"
BS: "Wooooh! Too much, Ed."
Errant synth note at end.
In A Lonely Place
Cuts after about 1:12 on the mixer version. This is about the point there would have been an A/B flip, it's likely this was played through before anybody noticed.
This is complete on the audience recording, which I present to you here:
She's Lost Control
One of two times they play this live (another time this was soundchecked), and the last time ever before the 2002 dates. TJ says that considering how bad a shambles this version was, that was probably for the best. Can't say I disagree.
At 0:48, Barney exclaims, "Jesus!"
A fairly wretched guitar solo (it's a two-note vamp) graces the latter park of this track.
Blue Monday
Fairly eventless rendition, except for the ending, which features orchestral samples, a somewhat-different keyboard riff, and a few other things.
