NO: 13 DEC 1985 Salle Du Baron - Orleans, France


Setlist

Elegia, The Perfect Kiss, Weirdo, Love Vigilantes, Hurt, Sooner Than You Think, ICB, This Time Of Night, In A Lonely Place, She's Lost Control, Blue Monday

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.
