NEW ORDER Live at The Academy, Brixton, London. Thursday 1st December 1983
SETLIST
1. Confusion 2. Temptation 3. Your Silent Face 4. Thieves Like Us 5. Aleph (Sooner Than You Think) 6. Procession 7. Chosen Time 8. The Village 9. Age Of Consent 10. Blue Monday/Love Reaction
This is a great gig, from the days when NO shows were extremely unpredictable. Highlights include the second-ever performance of "Thieves Like Us"; the debut of "Sooner than You Think" in completely different form to the final version. Then there's the infamous version of "BM". As Bernard struggles with a malfunctioning vocoder, Hooky takes the mic aided by Slim, the band's less-than-svelte roadie. The song mutates into Divine's "Love Reaction" - fantastic stuff! The quality is not bad for the time - a bit tinny, some distortion, but otherwise perfectly listenable. The show was released (in part) as a bootleg LP called "Dreams Are Over" in inferior sound quality - this is a much better source. Source of this is the cassette master (I recorded it myself on a small Sony recording Walkman). It was transferred from cassette (played on a Nakamichi Dragon, the world's finest-ever cassette deck) onto audio CD via a Marantz CD recorder. The audio files were SHN-ed from iTunes and uploaded.

I first heard this years ago. I totally agree, there's an exciting sense of adventure to this gig. It's one of my favourites.
