 The Best (New Order) Gig Ever... February 14, 2004
Mr. R. Rogers
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is how DVDs should be: 2 concerts, 1 from New York way back in 1981, and 1 from New Orders triumphant return at the 1998 Reading Festival, and an excellent band interview.pNew Order Live At Reading cannot be faulted. The setlist is fantastic, featuring such Joy Division classics as 'Atmosphere' and 'Isolation', and classic New Order tunes br'Regret', 'Temptation', 'True Faith' and 'Blue Monday'. The band is fantastic playing the best they ever have, and Barney is so gawky and geeky, he just comes across as being both cool and having a really good time. The only bum note is his excruciatingly embarrassing mid-song shout of "Rock the F**kin' house!" But even then, everyone onstage and off is having such a good time, you find yourself actually enjoying it.pMore interesting though is the gig from New York in '81, where the band not only discern to rock the audience, they barely even look in their direction. But still, the setlist here is an absolute killer, and the band are in the transition phase, halfway between Joy Division and New Order. But of big interest here for even the casual fan is a prototype 'Temptation', which is quite simply amazing!pThis is an unbeatable New Order DVD. The two concerts are short at just under an hour each, but both are fantastic gigs, well-documented. This is essential.

New Order's live Factory Records videos were always filmed in small clubs and though quaint reminders of periods in the band's evolution, the sound was always dodgy and the performances not always consistent. New Order's first real concert film, 3 16, finally shows the power and majesty of England's finest band.p3 16 reissues the 1981 New York gig first shown on Factory's Taras Shevchenko. In true New Order style, the gig was held at the rather unlikely venue of the Ukrainian National Home! This performance is heavy on Movement LP songs but features a proto-version of Temptation that would show the way forward.pNew Order's 1998 Reading Festival appearance comprises the main part of 3 16. Coming right after their first reunion shows in Manchester, New Order--for the first time in a long while--look to *enjoy* playing live. The band include Joy Division classics like Atmosphere and Love Will Tear Us Apart in the set list as well as a reworked version of their own True Faith. New Order end with their 1990 England anthem World in Motion, played live, and to great effect, for the first time.pFinally, the disc includes about a 25-minute September 2000 interview with the band in a Manchester hotel conducted by band intimate Miranda Sawyer. The interview is dominated mostly by Barney and Hooky but is perhaps one of the more revealing interviews ever done with the band. For the first time, New Order seem comfortable discussing themselves and their legacy.pLondon Records could not have done a better job for a first New Order DVD. Five stars at a minimum.
Essential buy for fans of the band September 10, 2001

New Order have always been an energetic live band, and as this DVD shows, they have not lost that energy despite advancing years. Sumner is an especially charismatic frontman, making what would look idiotic from any other man his age (except possibly Bono) seem natural. The first performance is good, but they had not yet developed from the Joy Division days. The best material, in my opinion, are the songs from Technique, as shown at Reading. However, New Order are such a good live act that even material from the rather lame Republic seems to come to life. Essential for any fans.

This DVD is a must for JD/NO enthusiasts. Barney however is still more geek than cool dude.His attempts to woo the 1998 crowd is embarrassing, using language that he doesn't need to. The 'laddish swagger' is embarrassing and the collaboration with Keith Allen is terrible.pHighlights - Gillians mad hair do and an insight into early New Order - which does cling to JD style, but that isn't a bad thing. We also have the JD tracks at Reading - excellent.pLowlights - Barney acting gormless - dances like my Uncle Stuart at xmas parties. His awful voice on Temptation. Hooky trying to be smart in the interview.pHeroic moments - the sincerity of Stephen Morris.

New Order were pretty much my first love musically and as a band were highly influential in their '80s heyday and in the world of electronic dance music thereafter.
br /
br /I saw NO on several occasions during the '80s, and apart from the memorable Madchester gig at G-Mex in 1998 with ACR and Happy Mondays, where the band for once seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves as much as everyone else was, I found the NO live experience generally disappointing. Live performances tended to be characterised by a miserablist sulkiness on the part of the band as a whole, a "can't sing won't sing" approach from Sumner, and a general atmosphere of truculent, self conscious coolness. NO's later hatred of touring and performing live is well documented, and was a source of great tension in the band's later years, and for me that dislike of performing live always came across.
br /
br /I already owned the "Taras Schevchenko" video comprising the New York 1981 part of this DVD. This shows an uncertain sounding New Order just emerging from the shadow of Joy Division, playing a small, gloomy venue. The atmosphere is clausterphobic and sombre, in keeping with the band's early post Joy Division material. Even the later crowd pleaser "Temptation" sounds like a dirge delivered with the enthusiasm of a funeral eulogy. Basically, the performance for me is passionless, uncertain and boring, with no interaction with the crowd whatsoever. In characteristic manner, the band just drift off stage individulally at the end of the set, leaving the sequencer pulse of "Temptation" running.
br /
br /The later Reading gig shows a very different side to the band. By this point New Order had embraced a much more consciously pop and dance niche, which they seemed happier with. They also embraced a willingness to field Joy Division material, and generally to interact with the crowd more. This gig has the feel of a "comeback" gig to it, a one off which I am sure the band genuinely did enjoy.But in that sense, I do not think it truly reprentative of the NO live experience.
br /
br /But basically, New Order would themselves be the first to admit how much they hated live tours. And for me that always showed.
