New Order - Birmingham - 9 May 1983 - flac
Well...
Concert starts with the Order bashing out Ian Curtis's swansong, with new modern tuneless whoopy vocals and a drunken mob singing along to the chorus. Am I old, or is this all not really rather tasteless?
Tasteless? I was there that night and the atmosphere when the opening chords of LWTUA started was electric. There were many people moved to tears. So yes, you are old!
hello michael, i was at this gig ...the band covered lwtua as a birthday present for rob gretton, it was the first time they had ever played a joy division song live (i was standing right next to rob at the sound desk...he had a grin from ear to ear.it was an amazing gig as both the band and audience were well up for a great time.new order always seemed to play really well at the tower ballroom...ps did you get the doncaster rotters live cd? i posted it 10 days ago
Rob Gretton was probably grinning because he'd already celebrated his birthday in January. Very cheeky of Hooky to congratulate him as late as May 9th...
(NOTE: I have my doubts this is actually a first-generation source, as there are samples online that are better SQ, like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqch8N82ewQ)

NEW ORDER 1983/05/09 BIRMINGHAM TOWER BALLROOM
Source: audience
Generation: M/1
Lineage: master tape (sony wmd6c + unknown mics probably stealth) > my tape tdk D 60 > analog cables > soundforge 6.0 > wav > flac level 6
Tracks: 01 Love Will Tear Us Apart 02 Age Of Consent 03 Blue Monday 04 Senses 05 Truth 06 Leave Me Alone 07 Denial 08 Everything's Gone Green 09 Temptation 10 Confusion
Lenght: 50'57
Story: another recording i got from CH. he was the taper on that one. i cannot provide the brand of the mics he used to tape the Birmingham show as he told me he was always trying different kind of combinations...from what i hear i bet it was some cheap aiwa or sony ones or possibly an okm I ??? Once again i do realise that the sound of that recording is not as good as it used to be 12 years ago. probably has to do with the infamous Tdk D ferro tape. i hope there isn't too much hiss really. Also i realised while checking this recording that the last song might be from another source than the main part. same dynamic but sounds darker than the beg of the tape. Let me know what you think of that ( i know there are NO experts in here !!) This show is quiet famous to be the first time NO performed JD songs. (namely LWTUA)
Tasteless?
