Setlist

Sooner Than You Think, Bizarre Love Triangle, Subculture, All Day Long, Every Little Counts, Paradise, State Of The Nation, Everything's Gone Green, Weirdo, Sunrise, Temptation, Love Will Tear Us Apart

Most gigographies for some reason list the date as the 7th of October, but this doesn't appear to be correct, as TJ has this as the 13th of October.

There's an B&W amateur video that filmed a part of this concert. According to GaoBest, the original is in color, which got lost as a part of this particular NTSC->PAL transfer. Too bad, because the camera work is better than the other early October '86 gigs. The handwritten label for the tape I pulled this from also gives the date of the 13th.  However, a complete version has subsequently surfaced, and in color, to boot, as can be watched above.

This is the last performance before New Order head out on their multi-month US tour, and not a particularly inspired one, according to TJ. I can't help but agree.

Sooner Than You Think

Steve gets up off of his drumkit at the end.

Bizarre Love Triangle

BS: "This is Bizarre Love Triangle."

Bernard mutters something right before the second verse, probably a direction to the soundman. At the end Bernard gestures in a matter to suggest to cut something out, and then takes a drink, as punters chant out "Here we go, here we go!".

Subculture

About midway on, Bernard says, "Stop flashing the lights...please."

BS: "Thank you very much."

More chanting.

BS: "I won't fuck off and I'm not a cocksucker." [thanks to Tock for the correction]

All Day Long follows.

Hooky says something at the end I can't quite make out, something like "Try this...I'm gonna try this."

A bit of a pause swapping instruments before New Order play Every Little Counts.

Interesting to see Steve play what amounts to a kettle drum on this song. Must have been strenuous because he takes a swig on his potable afterwards.

Barney says something at the end of this song, something about songs they won't play, and then pulls out a piece of paper which I assume is the setlist.

BS: "Of course I want to hear how great we were.

Paradise 

BS: "This is Paradise".

This is followed by State Of The Nation.

Everything's Gone Green

Some person manages to guess correctly.

PH: "Hello, old mate. Looking at you makes me fucking old. Really fucking, this. But I'm still louder than you." [first part is nearly inaudible on the video version]

This song has all sorts of reverb on "show"...

Weirdo follows.

Sunrise

(at end)

BS: "Thank you very much."

Temptation

(at end)

BS: "Thanks a lot."

Hooky finishes it out with his trademark bass.

Love Will Tear Us Apart

Andy Robinson hands Bernard a guitar pic, whilst he fiddles with his amp.

Rob Gretton steps up to the mic!

RG: "Anyway, this one's for Terry Mason, who's birthday it is today.

PH: "Guess how old he is...as old as me and Barney put together. Ready? One-two-three-four."

The band go to walk off the stage but Bernard stops and thanks the audience.

BS: "Thank you..."

The house PA comes back on, playing something akin to Belgian body music.


Versions

VID (PRO)Footage appears in "State of the Nation" video
VID #1VID4+tockMy old version was only the first six songs (cuts at 29m), and is very poor quality. Tock turned up a seperior version on 2009-05-18.
AUD #1LazloSony WM-D6ECM-929LTMoRE
AUD #2ANA2-ishtocktock: "This is from the BigBoppers tape hoard. Purchased at a Liverpool Record Fair on Sunday 3rd of May 1987....(that boy keeps good notes!). It sounds like an ANA2 to me. Possibly Master>dupe>copies for sale. Not certain which of the two recordings in the database this is but there is no "Lazlo productions..." stated at any point. Inc is the inlay with handwritten additions from the bopper."
AUDMGSony WM-D6ECM-929LTSebDThis and the 'tock' version could be one and the same.
AUD'Love Of Carnage'monoANA0'Love Of Carnage'Claims to have taped this gig, Flickr link defunct, sadly.
