Customer Reviews

New Order being, well, New Order!
Summing up New Order can be hard. Are they dance pioneers? Are they indie rock godfathers? Are they a shadow (play?) of their former selves or are they just three lads n' a lass (well four lads now) ambling through in that slightly unearving way?

One thing is for sure is that explaining New Order just got a whole lot easier with this DVD.

Just stick both these discs on and let the debate rage.

Disc 1 with it's Glasgow concert interdespersed (I think Amazon should mention this in the description!) with interviews shows every possible facet of the band and goes a long way to explaining the current split. The sound is great, the crowd and band up for it. The songs are played with passion (if not skill) and Barney dances around like a drunk uncle again (look out for the shot where he has a break and a nice sip of red wine!)

Disc 2 is just as hit and miss as the band. Raiding the vault the tracks here vary in quality but are a great little reminder of the early days and how things have changes. Nice to see Rob Gretton in the (oh so arty) Glastonbury segment.

Disc 1 is how to do a concert DVD, though I would have left the interviews out of the main concert section and had them as extras. The shots are well composed and really capture the lighting and 'feel' of the gig unlike the recent OMD DVD which went to show how poor shot choice and sound can ruin a great gig.

Overall well worth getting just for the Perfect Kiss mixing into Blue Monday and Barney's sarcastic 'You all know what this is?'

Lets hope they settle the current falling out so we can have Glasgow (or anywhere) 2009 DVD.

This is for me the best of the New Order live DVD's (so far?)

A fan's dream!!
What a great package! A well recorded set at Glasgow,with top notch sound quality.Barney sounded well on form this night.Love the segue of The Perfect Kiss and Blue Monday. Your Silent Face never sounded better.
Intercut with interviews with Barney,Hooky,Steve and Phil plus some input from the fans.
The bonus is the 2nd disc. watch the band grow from awkward to crowdpleasing confident,from 1981 through to Get Ready. Rare and unseen footage.Well recommended.

Here are the old men...
...and they must have had a weight on their shoulders if Hooky's in-between songs comment about his bad back is anything to go by.

In fact though, the title of this review is inspired by disc 2 of the package: which is about as useful as Joy Division's "Here are the Young Men" VHS (if anyone remembers that?) i.e. poor quality vision and sound. It starts off well enough - the first 3 tracks from "Celebration 1981" look as though they have undergone some sort of digital restoration process, albeit ICB and Chosen Time probably don't rank among anyone's favourite New Order numbers. The Glastonbury 1981 piece is also interesting (even surprising) in a wacked-out, AHW-esque kind of a way and provides a reminder of what Glastonbury used to be like (I would imagine, never having been) in the days before Fearne Cotton was born. It's all down hill after that I'm afraid - murky, one-camera shots and an unintentionally (or perhaps intentionally?) hilarious version of Ultraviolence. To say nothing of Barney's awful Mr Turkey shorts in the Toronto 1985 segment. Only someone with a scatological level of interest in NO (admittedly mine's not that far off) would be entertained by this. There's a wealth of NO material previously unreleased on DVD that could have been on here (I'll start with PFD - but the list is endless) so why the hell did they bother with this garbage? Anyway, as a hardcore fan, disc 2 was the reason I bought this release and was disappointed but...

Disc 1 is surprisingly good! Thankfully Mr Sumner's Haven Holidays' Dancing Dads Competition-style dancing (as seen in the awful Finsbury Park Live DVD) is kept to a minimum this time around. There's a real feel-good factor about the performance which makes this a worthwhile purchase - the grin on Peter Hook's face as the band launch into Love Will Tear Us Apart says it all.

Young 'uns will wonder what all the fuss is about though (suggest a better starting point for newcomers is the Reading live DVD that came out a while back). Plus it goes without saying that things aint the same without Gillian.
