FROM THE BLOG MENTIONED ABOVE:
It’s not often something like this sort of falls in your lap.
June 30, 1983
was the hottest day of the year to date in Chicago. The now-legendary venue Metro - then known as Cabaret Metro -
had been open for roughly a year. While I was just an 11 year old kid cavorting on a beach across Lake Michigan from
Chicago that day - or most likely asleep in the summer cottage, considering the time - New Order finally made their
debut appearance in Chicago. Attendees say it was unbearably hot inside the Metro that night. And allegedly even
hotter on the stage. That day, the high temperature reached near 100° F in Chicago and it had barely cooled as the
evening went on.
Making matters worse, the band took nearly two hours to get on stage after the opening act, which
made an uncomfortable and stinky audience even more strident.
The set starts out as your typical New Order set of the
era would. Things seem OK, maybe a bit rowdier crowd than normal, until late in the fourth song “Truth” when the
sequencer starts to act up. They launch straight into “Leave Me Alone” which ends uneventfully.
Then, the power goes out (as you’d have it). A restless crowd begins complaining amongst itself, with audible complaints about sweat
dripping into eyes, another mentioning rubbing ice all over their face, and vocalized thankfulness that they brought
paper towels in. Random sequencer bleats punctuate the rumbling crowd, as the roadies and venue staff try to get the
power sorted. Hooky mentions needing a shower. Eventually, “Your Silent Face” starts. It devolves into a unique and
fascinating exposition on what a sequencer-using band does when the sequencers are failing mid song - Steve Morris jumps
behind the drum kit far earlier than usual, and essentially drives the song to its skittering end as the sequencers never
recover. I think this take is spectacular and I think you’ll agree.
Barney then makes reference on stage to equipment and
power problems, mentions the band’s just going to jam, and Steve then pounds out the drum riff for “Denial”. Instead of
jamming, the band then finishes the set with four straight sequencer-free tracks, ending on the majestic “In A Lonely Place”
well into the wee hours of the morning.
There is no jamming, no acoustic “Blue Monday” despite the venue owner’s misremembered
statements made over the years since. It’s possible of course at some point these did exist and were edited out from this tape
upstream, but I doubt it and all other recollections of this gig fail to mention any acoustic “Blue Monday” performances.
For
the past 34 years, this set has been legendary in the New Order community due to the circumstances which befell it. And a
ape was never known to exist, nor a setlist for that matter. With the 1980 Beach Club set, it was part of the Holy Grail
pair of lost New Order sets. That changes today. The story of how this tape ultimately came to me is nearly as good as the
story behind the gig, but to protect privacy I shall simply thank A. for this. I believe this is from a 1st generation dub
of the master, and whomever the actual taper is remains a complete mystery.

NO TEMPTATION??? WTF
I was at the show too. Very hot night. See Hooky's book. New Order didn't hit the stage until about 1 a.m. The heat caused equipment malfunctions. They played two old JD songs at the end because of the equipment breakdowns. Great to hear it here.
Pretty incredible that you were actually there, you must have done something good in your life. Yeah in Substance Hooky says it was 118 in there.
I wish New order still sounded like this
check it out; hook with a guitar and sumner with a bass
todd teacher thats how they play confusion
I dont think Bernie could play this one and sing. I saw the PiL/Sugarcubes and it was primarily electronic and disappointed that they were not as urgent as the early days. Brotherhood had a few good ones, but Lowlife was where I fell off.
Low life is the name of a current band you all should check out.
playing confusion in a confusing way
@turntablecafe it isn’t a six string bass, it’s just a guitar. Hook played guitar and Sumner bass on some Joy Division tracks, for example The Sound Of Music and Atrocity Exhibition.
I was at this concert and do believe A Certain Ratio was the opener..
Same tour in New York it was Quando Quango. They toured with A Certain Ratio on the next US tour maybe?
Nice work.
I'll never forget going to Wax Trax to buy that beautiful. almost postcard size ticket: silver reflective face with black lettering.
Shanahan still to this day has a stack of them in his vault/safe at Metro....a friend who went to the show asked for his back; bastard just laughed.
Photo taken during Confusion (Bernard on bass)
Was this photo actually taken at the Metro do you know?
Oh October 2021 can't get here soon enough!
I saw the same show in hollywood at the Florentine gardens no did not get on stage until 2.00am
I got goose bumps and smiles reading the "liner notes" as a BIG fan of New Order. I first saw them in 1985 at the Flet Forum in NYC from Connecticut. Low-Life remains their final great triumph. A Certain Ratio opened and taunted the crowd screaming "USA sucks", and maybe something about the Russians. Things were thrown at them. When New Order played it was a quick but great set. They were reluctant to do an encore. The lights were on, people had left and they came out and played one song on the aforementioned new album. They fi is held quickly, either Hooky or Barney put their instruments next toa speaker and the feedback drive the remaining fans out of the venue.
Now, being a huge fan, I had read books on them and the earlier Rolling Stone article and knew what to expect. Theater.
Saw them twice for Brotherhood and finally technique but they were not as good. For the latter album, the sugarcubes and PIL were better, no doubt.
It's a fucking shame they can't let the egos go and just get o. with Hooky coming back. There is no New Order without him, word.
Yeah - without Hooky, they're the Diet Coke of New Order.
Quinn, I was at the Felt Forum gig as well. They came back there a year later in late 1986.
I was at the Felt Forum show too. Great show. Tinnitus for days after though. A Certain Ratio, the opening act got no applause until they announced they were playing their last song. The crowd erupted in applause which angered them. Then they went on their anti-USA rant and got booed etc off stage.
I was at this show. There was steam on the bathroom windows it was so hot
Yep....was also there. I'll never forget Hook'y yelling 'You think you're hot..!!!'.
and I love the tissues!
Too bad they are not coming back anytime soon.
Woah. Is Flaamingos still a going concern? Remembered you guys covering NO. Did catch Tissues when they played El Rio up in SF a couple months back.
Flaamingos is dead RIP. Deaf Dance is my new project in a similar vein (me on vocals :D ) czcams.com/video/Xv0DDmR9bqI/video.html
oh yeah, have heard Deaf Dance played on the Part Time Punks show, "Broken Mirrors" is for me your standout track. Kudos to you and Hannah!
