The Glasgow gigs were absolutely fantastic - knocking the MCR gigs well into second place (imho) - slightly diff. set than in MCR in that the set was a little shorter but the bands performance was phenomenal.

Great to meet many Ceremony boys at the gigs including Deron from Boston who came looking for me after the second show.

Last nights gig was slightly marred by the lack of an encore - something that is being blown way out of proportion by local press & radio & sadly by some greatly misinformed "fans". I was especially happy at last nights show as although it was my last of any major tour, Hooky dedicated "Touched by the Hand of God" to me announcing that "this is for Kens mate Jonathan - He's on the slippery slope to hell..." before Barney intro'd the song as "Touched by the Hand of...the Promoter" an "in joke" that is best left untold on these pages...

The party at MAS was a bit of a hoot with many of the old boys dancing like loons to the sounds of tracks old and new and most notably The Happy Mondays & Stone Roses.

They didn't do an encore on Monday night. Local radio station, Radio Clyde got lots of calls complaining. I heard some folk saying Hooky got spat at, and Barney too much abuse as well, which put the band in a bad mood.

I have to say, I love seeing NewOrder in the UK. There seems to be more camaraderie. More people know all the songs instead of just the hits. When you're in the pit hopping around, everyone is your Best friend. It's good fun!

So for the Monday night show we decided to chill further back and just enjoy the sights and sounds. I'd already had the ecstatic gig experience, so night #2 was just gravy. It ended up having a very different feel to it from the beginning.

I don't know...the band wasn't into it? the crowd wasn't into it? It was a Monday night so audience wasn't rested and amp'd like they were on Sunday? Don't get me wrong, NO sounded fantastic!!

But they weren't joking around, there were fewer hands flying in the air, fewer Bernard "whoops!" and general banter, etc.

It ended on a bit of a bad note, with no encore and a surly boo-ing crowd.

I thought the show was still terrific, and all they were going to play was blue monday, anyway. But it was definitely a down note, contrary to the mile-high note of the night before. It might be interesting to hear the different shows. Anyone record both?? :)

To top the weekend off, while I was waiting at the airport for my flight, along walked Stephen Morris. What do you know! I gently approached him looking picking out a book to read and chatted with him for a while.

He had no idea (well he was going to tell) about what happened Mon night. And about touring the US, he said "we'll see", though he said they do like to play in CA (where I'm from and will be returning shortly).

So we just chatted a bit, I didn't want to impose too much. His personal assistant had questions for him, etc. Unfortunately, didn't see the others...

Though Arthur Baker was also in the airport, in fact he sat in the same row as me on the plane from Glasgow to Heathrow, just across the aisle. Of course I said hello to him, as well.

Speaking to PR Jonathon and Mass DJ Norman the news was one of the band collapsed back stage when they came off after Transmission.
