Post Description

Rhino"s Two DVD set Live In Glasgow stills the very best moments from those landmark shows with eighteen career-spanning songs including Joy Division classics. The set also features a bonus disc of previously unreleased footage from New Order"s archives, presenting peak-form live performances from 1981-2006. New Order"s groundbreaking fusion of postpunk/new wave rock, synth-pop and dance music made them one of the most influential bands of the 1980s. After sitting out much of the "90s, they reemerged with acclaimed albums in 2001 (Get Ready) and 2005 (Waiting For The Sirens" Call), and in late 2006, performed a rare and celebratory two-night stand in Glasgow, Scotland. 

Yes, we are rewarded here with the eclectic repertoire from the first TV appearance in April 1981 (Celebration) to one of the final concerts in 2006. I had wanted the Celebration footage for years (you have a snippet of it in NewOrderStory) and it"s great to have it finally. Then come Glastonbury shots, which are worth every cent you spend for this DVD. Apparently pissed or otherwise influenced Bernard Sumner is completely off the hook there, being enraged by the longhair audience, who is not ready for drum machines; in the meantime the cameraman, dazed too, is trying to tune his own sight: camera wanders unfocused on the floor, eerie wires and blurry knobs. Right before the concert some dude filmed Rob Gretton and the band getting out of their old Ford and camping around, which is amusing. Knowing "Barney" Sumner"s personality and attitude, it"s unbelievable that something like this officially saw the light of day (well no wonder, the entire project was carried mostly by bassist Peter Hook and drummer Steven Morris). After that the footage quality becomes less professional: like blue x-rays of a dancing body at a gay disco. Almost monochrome, shot from one stand, the footage has surprisingly great sound quality; "Hurt" and "Ultraviolence" are superb.
