[anonUK]

Was your VCR recording at the right speed? It sounds a teensy bit fast somehow.

[rutvig]

Right, now where did I put my Delorean?

[eton70]

Iconic

[SweetMatheson]

My dad was right about the 80's.

[djsatanic666]

[terceldude]

@djsatanic666 I agree big time! ;-) Bring back 1987 - the year I was born, and bring back 1983 - my favorite year! ;-)

[greenmustard1966]

[perpetual61]

Now Accepting Donations to Build a Time Machine Back to the 80's.

[stuart38]

top of the pops was the best music show the bbc ever transmitted.period.

[dark1ankh]

Love that 80's background !

[ashingtoon]

Wow 3 people don't like this!!! Tasteless, stupid or both! Fucking Brill!

[thatseverin]

FUCK YEAH!

[CZMephisto1973]

What a performance! Thank you for sharing it. I used to love New Order til Gillian left the band.

[JonMcElectro]

@CZMephisto1973 Didn't know Gillian left the Band. She was one of the Bands main Members, especially with her skills on Synths.

[jo951000]

I love this song and the anberlin version!

[weeronnie1]

new order at its best blue monday the ultimate classic

[jaseywasey49]

I remember seeing an interview with Bernie where he said he was against performaing live on TOTP, but had to go with the grpup democaracy. Personally i'm glad this happened.

[Teasle586]

In my opinion, New Order were at the peak of their powers during this period.

[GrobycRocketFist]

Perfect song for a BJ.

[DOB210881]

i love u guys, a song that marked a young boys mind born 1981 marked in 1987 well done i still rember ya tune

[Duke1966]

[telmocarmo]

[Trait23]

Synth orgasm.

[mwrakimou]

Top Of The Pops In My LIfe!!!you are!!

[dionika]

GREAT! Love 80's - that synth explosion...

[Tellythemes]

Would you be interested in selling or swapping any Top of the Pops shows on VHS or DVD please? I am particularly interested in 1986 & 1987 stuff but would like older ones from the 80s please? I would be able to email you my up-to-date lists if you like? What do you think? Thanks...

[philfromwest]

I love the 12 inch mix

[keijimuto]

Gotta return some videotapes.

[wei97]

such a classic!

[anthonynewsome]

love the video for this song

[AtalMusic]

Great haircut!

[tnrc75]

Top of the Pops '87....takes me back.....

[ApriliaGuy1969]

One of my all time fave songs :)

[djh29971]

Barney changed his mind in later years in the view that why perform a song live when it is substandard to the recorded version? I strongly disagreed with this view to this day and the band sold out, but without being as successful - very strange!

At least Phil Cunningham isn't here acting like a rock n roll t*at.

[Alan7997]

Wow! this is soooo cool! when was the last time you heard a popstar today sing live?

[itchyk]

:))) its not so rare..unless on tv its playback many times:( but i dont get it...SINGER just pretending to be singing...wtf..:///

[FedeP74]

I adore Bernad Sumner!!! their best song

[Transmission1100]

Can't believe 22 years have nearly passed since first hearing this amazing record,just remember in 1987,hearing this for the first time and promptly igniting my passion for both Joy Division and New Order

[scorpiolibris]

...the eighties wouldn´t be so magic without New Order...definitly !!!!!!

I love them!

[abbydev]

PERFECTION

[ColumRogers]

this version is perfect i love everything about this song

[jonafone]

o and this is a cracking live performance one of the many reasons i love new order, as well as joy division of course

[HimmuraTube]

Best live version of this Great song I've heard.

[wisesatyr72]

Bret  Easton ellis

[pinheadsen]

Vintage! They don't make as good pop music as this anymore! Well, you have White Lies (Ultravox revisited) but they are nowhere compared to the likes of New Order.

[potrezaml]

or is it just electronic drums like the hexagonal Simmons...? love the voices produced by the Emulator II anyways...

[potrezaml]

What are called these "drums" the drummer was on...? probably an obsolete model that did not lasted long; but if somebody can tell me the name of the model...thx.

[Stakker]

@potrezaml I think it's a Roland Octapad. You can get them cheap.

[potrezaml]

@Stakker

O.K. ...Thank you (lol... there were really weird "instruments" in that period...)

[bobmorrice]

their all taking drugs with me

[AceHarding]

One of the few performances on TotP that wasn't mimed.

[funkybassman2020]

will Hooky ever tune that bass properly. Probably not. Tone deaf dickhead but you got to hand it to him. Hoooookeyyyyyy F****** Legend!

[jonafone]

lol mixed signals galore there :P but he is a legend yeah and no matter how its tuned he's still amazing haha

[TheHappiLeague]

Im 14, I love the 80s, me and most of my friends appreciate this era. So not all of us 'kids' are like that.

I WOULD definatly go back if I could!

[thekingoftown07]

great band, I grew up with new order since the day I was born in 1986. Friends found me wierd for listening to this but they don't know what good music is!

[saintangelsin]

I know how you feel. I was born in 85. Been a huge Depeche Mode and New Order fan since I was a kid. Most of my peers think I'm weird for liking such strange, dark pop music.

[Isthisthelongestname]

Same here mate im 87 and love this stuff - new order, depeche mode etc. wish i was this age bck then!

[saintangelsin]

Are you excited about the new Depeche Mode album? (I wish New Order would tour...)

[yulethomson]

this is wats calld music!!! and a song were it means somthing!! fukin hat todays music fukin garbage!!

[lenkel]

New Order always insisted on having a live aspect to their performances on "top of the pops" while many others simply lip synced to their singles.

[abcw828]

first heard this song on American Psycho;have been looking for it for AGEZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

FINALLY FOUND IT :) :D

[LittleMissRaverPerth]

You kids of today have no idea what this was all about with ya gun totin' whorin' pole dancing stripper , celebrity obsessed crap, you kids would give anything to live through this decade!

[iam18iswearreally]

@LittleMissRaverPerth I would rather have lived when Ian Curtis and Joy Division were alive. New Order are good yes, but no one will ever match what Curtis had

[DeMachman]

@LittleMissRaverPerth hear hear!! I salute you

[dondocooperstein]

@LittleMissRaverPerth I'm 14!! I LOVE THIS KIND OF MUSIC.

Love 80s pop [or new wave] you name it,

Pet Shop Boys,Tears For Fears,Thompson Twins,New Order,Eurythmics,Blancmage,OMD­, I LOVE THIS KIND OF MUSIC.

And your so right too. I would KILL to be a teen back then. I even have records!!! Singles, and albums. And cassettes too! xD

So sad I had to live today..... I would do anything to live in the 80s....

[Stube437]

@dondocooperstein Thompson Twins aren't cool!

[dondocooperstein]

@Stube437 um ok?

[PEIN64100]

@LittleMissRaverPerth i am 14 and i love these kind of music i dont listen to new stuff like rap

[scraftonthebadger]

@LittleMissRaverPerth As a 17 year old who loves music, I can assure you that all the factors you described above do not enter into my tastes. It is rather clear you have not searched very far, as you would realise that there is much to be proud of in the left-field alternative scene. I love New Order, Joy Division (even more) but it is rather ignorant to write off the modern day music scene without being open minded originally . There is great music from EVERY decade, year and month and day.

[evelyneverettgreen]

@scraftonthebadger 17, 29, make up your mind...

[seankinsellasean]

@scraftonthebadger Im19 myself trust me i know whats out today and generally its total rubbish id love to say its just as good today as it was back then but it simply isnt not even close, sure we get the odd 2 or 3 good songs a year but im just having a look at my itunes here now and about 5% of the songs are from 2000 onwards...

[scraftonthebadger]

@seankinsellasean That's probably more down to preference than lack of talent in the modern day.

[mmtot]

@LittleMissRaverPerth Sorry but music is better now than it has ever been, you just have to know where to find it.

[MufcEricCantona7]

@mmtot I disagree, describe a band that even compares to New Order, The Beatles, The Who, The Smiths and many other bands that define the music that we listen to today. Music today is merely a shadow of bands like New Order.

[mmtot]

@MufcEricCantona7 The Brian Jonestown Massacre are more increadible than all those bands combined.

[MufcEricCantona7]

@mmtot Naah.

[mmtot]

@MufcEricCantona7 Ayye.

[mmtot]

@MufcEricCantona7 Mate, you like bon jovi, You don't get to have an opinion on musical matters!

[MufcEricCantona7]

@mmtot I reckon I do mate.

[hannahmwalsh]

I probably wasn't even born yet... that's a weird thought.

[DKP4]

Superb. I was obsessed with New Order back in those days. And I was right to be.

[canuck21]

I'm obsessed with New Order now.

[AIFL]

Me too, an addiction I'm actually proud of.

[blackholesun89]

dam this song hits you; bring back the time back then...

[Sinco77]

Great rhythmic!

[jcsnyder95]

The music was so much better in the UK in the 1980s... we had to suffer through hair metal here in the US.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

Hey, that's why God gave us college radio in America.

[narcher91]

@jcsnyder95 New Order, The Smiths, Happy Mondays, The Cure, my favourite British bands to name a few. I'm from England and I live and breathe 80s British music. But 80s metal from America is the shit... Don't dismiss what you've got if you don't have the cultural flare to appreciate it. Musically its complex and it rocks. Admittedly different to this, but don't tie yourself down to one genre and try and brown nose us Brits on Youtube.

[gabmc1966]

@narcher91 hi there theres no doubt in my mind that the vast majority of bands from the british isles and ireland were far superior to the bands across the pond in the u.s.a. ,i grew up listening to thin lizzy ,the who ,pink floyd ,the cure ,the smiths etc....american bands have a lot less soul and more comercial orientated ,our bands had something to say and had great passion back in the day ,something which is sadly lacking in todays bands.

[Cuackers]

I'd have liked to be in 80's ... but I was born in '86... so... too late... whatever... awesome vid... n'... I'd have liked '80s with Internet ... xD

[srduke]

You would have loved it. It was brilliant

[kevpunk]

I agree. I was in my teen years in the 80's. i had a great time. its amazing to recall all those gr8 80s music.

[ArtGaul]

I agree. I'm '87

[nukkumatti13]

God i miss 80's. and especially 80's london. It was so good. Even with Margaret Thatcher.

Pet Shop Boys Erasure Smiths New Order

[rajaboy]

Class record

[tibohibj]

Way cool..Love Hooky's posture:) Class.

[alastairm1973]

simply perfect pop.

glorious

[rfbweb]

pop n

[andymac1967]

20 years ago?! Jesus it feels like only yesterday. So much better than the manufactured shit we have to endure today.

[bluesbrother37]

Totally agree my friend, lets keep it real!

[littledogbean]

tell me about it, seems like yesterday. still just a great song from a great time in music.

i agree with the manufactured stuff, no substance, just young pretty faces being told what to wear, what to say, how to act, no soul, just empty.

[Stube437]

@andymac1967 and New Order didn't make manufacurred music?

[hyperwhizzkid]

This is a great performance, Peter Hooks backing vocals really add to the chorus.

[canuck21]

This is a very good live performance. New Order seems to excel when performing this song.

[leoberutti]

compraba pala para badia q los conoce

[SmokeandSteam01]

This is a great live version of the song. I remember being sat at my mom and dad's watching this when it was broadcast. Sigh!
