Alan Wise introduces the band...
AW: "I'm going to take two minutes to introduce to you someone who is their musical hero. Yeah, because when they were Joy Division and Warsaw, they admired one man before everyone else. I want you to welcome on stage, Val Doonican.Come on, Val. I'm very sorry, but Val Doonican's just himself. He won't come on.
So instead of Val Doonican, why don't you welcome instead the fabulous, New Order!"
BS: "Sorry about that." Yo, yo, yo. Alright, we're New Order, obviously. Hope you enjoy tonight. This is Crystal."
(at end)
BS: "'ack you.
BS: "Yo yo yo, thank you very much" We're gonna play a song now that's goes way back, way, way back. It's called Transmission and it's by Joy Division."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you! We've not played that for a long, long time. A long time, but it's good to roll it back."
PH: "You all right, Dean? They're looking after you. Ok."
BS: "Ok, this is Regret."
(at end)
BS: "Thank you. Did anybody sport the deliberate mistake at the end of that?"
Doesn't look like it. Fans chanting NU ODAH over and over.
(at end..hard to make out this part)
BS: "Having a good time? I'm not. But I'm a bit of a miserable bastard, you know.
BS: "Okay, this is off our new album, which is called 'Get Ready', this is called 60 Miles An Hour."
(at end)
BS: "Believe it or not, it's quite hard work up here, being an old-timer like myself. We're going to slow it down a bit, here's a nice slow song called Your Silent Face."
BS: "'ank you!"
BS: "Okay, this is Slow Jam"
BS: "Okay, this is called Close Range, again off our new album. We're going to play a nice long set for tonight, love, have patience you'll get the good old ones you like, right..."
BS: (at end) "'q"!
Bit of a tuning break between songs.
BS: "We're like play them all tonight. This is Touched By The Hand Of God."
Hooky vamps at the end.
BS: "Thank you! Sorry about all the noise. "
Punter shouts for 'Age Of Consent'.
BS: "Getting all exciting with... okay, this is Bizarre Love Triangle."
BS: "'ack you! Who, even without the snare drum."
BS: "Whoa, pretty goddamn hot up here. Okay, this is True Faith, with snare drum."
(the Digital Mike recording cuts on the 'goddamn hot up here' part)
BS: (at end) "'ank you!"
BS: "Hey listen, could you move back a bit? Because there's a lot of people getting squashed at the front here. By the way, come on, we don't want anyone to get hurt tonight. Just move back a bit. And chill out. Alright, don't chill out. But just move back. Free drinks at the bar are me, only if you go now
PH: "Now that's a once-in-a-lifetime offer, fucking hell, "
BS: "I didn't mean it, I just thought it was a joke. Please move back bcause people are really getting squashed. Okay, this is Temptation."
BS: (at end) "Thank you, yes! Even I like that song."
BS: "The next thing we're going to play.... Here we go, Love Will Tear Us Apart."
BS: "This is Atmosphere".
BS: "'ank you, thank you. I saw folks the last time I played that song was at Joy Division in this very venue. We felt we got away with it."
Well we've got nothing planned so what do you fancy playing lads? How about Ruined In A Day? We've not played for a very long time. Okay."
BS: "Thank you."
BS: "Okay, this is a song off the album that we we played with Bobby Gilespie and Andrew Innes from Primal Scream, and it's called Rock The Shack."
BS: (at end) Thank you. I know we fucked up a little."
BS: "Okay, this is Blue Monday."

THE DAWN OF A NEW ORDER WORLD
NEW ORDER started their UK tour on home turf last night (October 4) with their first major MANCHESTER show for nearly three years.
The band played the first night of a two-night residency at the Manchester Apollo to a suitably packed crowd of local fans and friends. Excepting a minor appearance to launch next year's Commonwealth Games, the last time they played in the city was New Year's Eve 1998.
The performance, at almost two hours in duration, was unusually long for a
band notoriously hostile to playing live. The band opened with recent single 'Crystal', and while the show was heavy with material from current album 'Get Ready', all three decades of their career were covered, with hits like 'Bizarre Love Triangle', 'True Faith' and 'Blue Monday'. The set also included three Joy Division songs - 'Transmission', 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and 'Atmosphere'.
The hometown crowd were typically wild, with vocalist Bernard Sumner forced to ask people to move back after 'True Faith' because of fears of crushing at the front.
He joked, "Free drinks at the bar on me. That's only if you go now." Bassist Peter Hook responded "Fucking hell, that's a once-in-a-lifetime offer!"
Billy Corgan, who had accompanied the band on their US tour and at their comeback show at Liverpool Olympia in July, did not appear. However, Hooky acknowledged absent keyboard player Gillian Gilbert, calling into the crowd, "Are you alright G? Are they looking after you in there?"
New Order return to the Apollo tonight (October 5), then play Glasgow Barrowland (7-8), before playing three nights at London's Brixton Academy next week (October 10-12).
The next single from 'Get Ready' has been confirmed as '60 Miles An Hour', released on October 22.

'Rock legends return - New Order
WE hope you enjoy it, mused Bernard Sumner as New Order, the city's most enduring musical export and probably its most influential, took the stage for their first home-town gig for nearly three years. It would have been impossible for anyone in the sell-out house not to have enjoyed it.
They haven't changed much New Order were always the rock band dance fans liked and the dance act rock fans could get into but at the same time, they have, which explains why the audience comprised as many 40-somethings who remember them first time round as it did 20-somethings.
With former Marion man Phil Cunningham standing in for Gillian Gilbert on keyboards and guitar, that was also the case on stage.
The new album Get Ready is a bit mixed, but it does include a few gems. One such is Crystal, which kicked off the show. Its thumping bass-line allowed the leonine Peter Hook, whose bass is so low-slung these days it scrapes the floor, to show off his idiosyncratic playing style.
Whereas most bands treat gigs as a chance to showcase the new stuff, New Order, as they get older, are exhuming more and more of the Joy Division back catalogue, with a suitably sombre Transmission being the pick.
But what everyone wanted to hear were the New Order classics. Bizarre Love Triangle received a curious acid house treatment which didn't quite come off, while Touched by the Hand of God was touched instead by a dollop of funk which sounded little more than work-in-progress.
The highlight was unquestionably a majestic True Faith, with Temptation a close second. They could only finish the gig with one track, and a triumphant Blue Monday for which Gillian appeared duly concluded the show.'
