  • all that fucking about with reel to reel tapes .....just take ya flashstick now LOL !

  • Comment removed

  • THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!

    THE 80'S BABY!!!NEW YORK WAS JAMMIN!!FLORIDA TOO!!

  • 2001 Oddyssey was the spot..

  • Arthur Baker & Herb Powers OWNED the 80's Sound.

  • Arthur Baker looks like a rock/metal/biker star, yet he is electro god. Great :D

  • One of the very few New Order tracks I like,but oh what a track."For Heavy Rotation" indeed.

  • I like pizza.

  • FINALLY…NOT the Blade version!

  • I think you found the wrong song ;)

  • that is what the sub used to look like!! this is raw nyc 1980s

  • Great Track & cool Video!

  • great song, full of energy

  • new order went from new wave to disco with this one.

  • 0:26 fail..not enuff sauce

  • this song is being sung by some terrible singers.

  • This is Bardstown Road here in Louisville on any given day (or night, especially night come to think of it)..

  • damn, someone is in a hurry to see New Order

  • 240p we meet again...

  • This video is downright historical- so captures a piece of NYC in the 80s .

  • I like the original and the Blade re-mix!!!! Both are good!!!!!!

  • 0:27 she is totally jewish with the sauce on that pizza

  • in the beginning of the video the theatre is named Lefferts Theatre and the pizzeria is Steve's Pizzeria on Liberty Ave. in Richmond Hill Queens, my old hood. I remember the night they filmed these scenes. good times.

    oh and I used to go to the Funhouse too...hahaha

  • Long time New Order fan .. and totally laughing at this. It sounds so rough.. and they look so young. Then again, I'm a lot older and rougher myself.

  • Big ups

    Big Ups MTA Graffiti Trains Old Skools :)

  • This was the first time to hear this version.  It's a bit slower than regular. The "confusion" chorus is less on-time together. Where would one have heard this version? Radio? Clubs? I wasn't listening to such modern music in 1983.

  • @BayviewFinch This is the version I remember from school. It was on the radio plenty but mostly played by the ehm... "better" DJs. Prob Top40 but not Top10. Problem was it was kinda the follow-up to Blue Monday but, radio/clubs just kept on playing Blue Monday! The 1987 version didn't figure much on the radio as far as I remember.

  • Arthur Baker is very modern in 1982 !

  • madonna who?

    

  • My favorite of favorites!!!

  • All those hours at the Neve or SSL mixer paid off, what a classic!

  • This is amazing.

  • Some fun facts about this video: It was filmed in a great nightclub in NYC called the Funhouse, and the reason New Order look so trashed is they spent all night driving there after playing a gig in DC the night before, and then began filming the video at 7 in the morning!

  • new york pizza!!

  • @krillin876 yea but she jews ya on the tomato sauce!!!

  • Great great piece...maybe song who connect discopop '80 @ housebase '90 year's than switched now in that shit of techno-acid...........

  • love the electro sound.

  • Those 39 people who gave a thumbs down should have their thumbs chopped off, and be prohibited from getting artificial thumbs.

  • the best version. All the others are over produced crap. 1983 classic

  • wtf? Bernie with a bass? Peter with a guitar? CONFusi0N!?

  • @calaverasgrande: Even back in Joy Division, they switched instruments from time to time on certain songs... see the "Here are the young men"-video ...

  • bernard looks like a football player at 2:14

  • Wigan and Northern Soul. Sunrise and Rave. Still Dancin!

  • Back then Arthur Baker and john Robie was dropping beats crazy electro beats. Big fan!

  • Few people know that the pizza girl who goes out dancing in this video is Sara, who later become Mrs. Sumner, after she and Bernerd met filming this video.

  • new order getting checked for weapons in their own clip! business tune by the way

  • Twin Towers at 2:06. They WERE the landmark of NYC for 30 years; they were always there.

    Still a big gaping hole in the heart of the city.

  • @lithead until a false flag op to justify going to afghanistan and iraq

  • What's great about this is that it captures exactly why NO found its own sound. They went to the Fun House on their NYC trip after Curtis' suicide. The energy of the dancers - who were finding pleasure in their lives even in the face of a grinding recession - made them realize the political power of dance music. They could see *immediately* if their stuff was good when it got people of the floor. "why can't you see what you mean to me!"

    They could see it right away!

  • The lower east side rocked hard in the 80's

  • @STEVEDIGIBOYtv Not the lower east side, that club (The Funhouse) was actually in Chelsea on 26th between 10th and 11th. I was a regular there for a few years. Magical times, magical lights and magical music.

  • Oh c'mon, there is no need to disparage U2. That's just ridiculous.

  • love the subway sequences and Peter, Gillian, and Stephen at the back of the cab at 3:02, such a cool vid!

  • This is the song that truly bridged the Manchester music scene to NYC. As a teenager growing up in NJ, my friends and I would go to clubs like the Fun House in the 80s, and already a post-punk fan, found early hip-hop facinating. To hear NO in heavy rotation put chills down my spine and made NO fans of many of my Italian break-dancing friends. Remember all of the NO concerts in NYC in the 80s? They don't make bands or music like that anymore.

  • much of the innovativeness and the dancey production is owed to Arthur Baker, as people pointed out before - the man connected to many good things in dance and pop music of the time, like Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock", Pet Shop Boys "Suburbia", Freeez "I.O.U."

  • ahhhh...the hedonistic cocaine 1980s: good times.

  • The Golden Age in New York City! It was all coming together. An endless source of inspiration for me, and many others. Informs so MUCH now! Bittersweet that it was all so great, and has gone!

  • a lot of people think this track is a mess

    they just don't get it

  • Comment removed

  • "For heavy rotation" Fantastic.

  • oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh Holy Ghost!

  • wish i was there with them, shouting CONFUSION!!!

  • i would rather stay in and play chess with that girls parents anyday ! 

  • This is like the voice of a psychopath. Just genius

  • you can`t believe me- love it- ray

  • The hairy bloke is Arthur Baker.

  • @MultiGanton Arthur still looks the same! that guy does not age!

  • @burner1970

    all rite mate, was justing looking for info about that gig, I fell asleep my NO, was pissed early, didn't know the Happy Mondays back then, what a gig!

    do you if there are any clips of it on the net?

    thanks r kid, that is if you still use this post, Stuart

  • the ycould've found better dancers for hte video though

  • @efsq what the hell are you talking about? that's how it was! better then this? maybe breakdancers... but that was raw hip hop like kool herc, davy dmx, dave d, or captain rock! what did you wanted lady gaga and her dancers doin' coreography? damn kids!

  • @ganiniii

    they could've called some bboys, some dance crew. rock steady crew were big by that year.

  • As a club kid in NYC in the 80's... this was my FAVORITE New Order song to dance to!

  • Comment removed

  • Remember the days of dancing to this in London? The best use of the TR808 and Arthur Baker should do more of this

  • Is this the original song that appeared remixed years later in blade and went on to be released as operation blade by public domain. I know they are nearly different songs but is this what sparked it

  • no suban mugreros 

  • fuck confusion new remix

  • Lol. What are all the U2 comments about? New Order and U2 are both really great in my opinion.

  • @KCJacksonMuz When New Order did Blue Monday live on totp live in 1983 U2 Said they really respected them for doing so & said they wished they had have done the same?! Rob Gretton replied "Why the fuck dint ya then"!? + U2 were really influenced by Joy Division! I

  • Incomparable! New Order is a group at the forefront, U2 are just followers they have invented nothing, this video does nothing but remind

  • in an interview [Barney] "What music do we like Rob?" [Rob Gretton] "yer into gay disco"

  • That was Jellybean in there wasnt it?

  • New Order innovators? Not in this track, this song is 75% John Robie and Arthur Baker. Sounds just like all the other John Robie tracks around 82,83.

    Interesting fact... Bernard Sumner married that pizza girl who dances in that disco in the end.

  • @Nobodyreallyatall Yes Innovative New Order was the right place at right time

  • NY and dancing, I miss them so much!

  • How is this the song that was turned into the famous Blade techno remix, because it sounds nothing like it.

  • @Midgar2310 I wonder that too.

  • @Midgar2310 EXACTLY !!!! 

  • @Midgar2310

    i think DJ took all the drugs at the same time and made a remix like that ( for me )

  • 3:50 tell me if you think they start singing "why can't..why can't..why can't" and change to "we're gay we're gay we're gay" - not hating; i love this band

  • @RainmanCT HA HA YOU CRAZY FOOL.

  • What a great NO video!

  • new order definately have class,and thier music is superb.im glad they went to new york and incorperated this into their vibe brilliant.

  • Nice electro-beat from the 80s

  • Rock the house! The Fun House!! Woof! Woof! Woof!

  • What ever happened to mama juice she was hot

  • That fucking smellyy needs a fucking haircut 

  • @dobsondale and you need a new gimmick, shithead.

  • chess

  • Love it. First time I heard this song in a club it was 'The Roxy' Played by Afrikaa Bambaataa. I was watching a soundless film on one of the movie screens. Nornski and his brother Scott were doing the 'Boogie'........Good times

  • arther baker

  • Blade

  • It's good to hear the original A-Side version again at last. For some reason they replaced it on the Substance singles compilation with a 1987 remix that was not as good, while at the same time still including the original instrumental B-side.

  • great vid, great song.. best version of it but the mix on 'singles' is friggin TERRIBLE. love the story, love seein 80s NYC clubs... barney looks so intense at the end!

  • This song is hip hop!

  • i cant really hear this song in the blade remix

  • @rambache the chorus is in the remix in Blade.

  • @rambache I know, they took this song... stripped it of pretty much everything, and added in some dumbass acid techno onto it.

  • Wow the Funhouse nightclub!!!! Jelly Bean Benitez used to Dj there.Later I went when it became Hearthrobs and Lil Louie Vega was the DJ 1987. Damn good memories of NYC.

  • TASTY MUSIC; TASTY PIZZA

  • Even though it was over played in some wicked clubs in Chicago during the 80s it sounded so good on a sweet system. The vibration this tune would close in a close quarter dance floor was unreal....P Thanks for the memories and flashbacks.

  • for heavy rotation...

  • great track by legendary band

  • This video makes me want a pizza pie!

  • Arthur baker !

  • Love everything about this vid: music being hand-delivered to Fun-House DJ, dance crews and raw, classic dance floor documentation!!!

  • At least 10 years before the rest of the 'dance music' scene

  • @daftshiva1 10 years? not quite.

  • Brilliant. New Order were true innovators. Whilst U2 were prancing about in black leather trousers and winkle pickers, Barney is going to the Fun House in New York in a pair of shorts, espadrilles and getting his songs played direct onto the dance floor via reel to reel. 15 years before Achtung Baby! You can't buy class.

  • @treble2113 bonos been irrelevant since 1979

  • @treble2113

    Correct

  • @treble2113 Lol U2 might be wankers and NO might be legendary, but it doesn't mean either of the fuckers have class mate :D It's not the point!

  • @treble2113 Surely, only FIVE years before Actung Baby, or were you exagerating for effect?

  • @treble2113 Spot on comments!!!!

  • @treble2113 I couldn' agree more,absolutely.I love this so much.

  • @treble2113 What's up with all this u2 frustration

  • uonderfullllllllllllllllllll

  • check the new vid my the MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUGHTS! = frame for frame copy of this vid! - classic.....

  • I'm pretty sure the black guy in the short shorts is now pastor Eddie Long.

  • pizza nyc and analog boards...

    badass

  • faorite song but i prefer the 1987 version better

  • @shocked88ify- First time hearing this one... I like the 1987 version better too.. This ones kinda bad lol

  • @weirdscience85 the 1987 has more upbeat rhythm and faster

  • @shocked88ify- I agree

  • still say she cheated the costumer on the tomato sauce!!!

  • ohh yeaaa

  • Man! Does ANYONE use reel-to-reel tape recorders anymore?

  • @poughkeepsiejohn1 Im sure I saw a guy usin them at TITP for DJ-ing

  • @poughkeepsiejohn1: People do .. for archive work :)

  • I never really realized that a lot of old school bboy songs sampled this track

  • I was 13 when ithis came out as well. It was my favorite,..along with the World Famous Supreme Team Show, The Wildstyle 12" remix,..& I.O.U. Ahhh,..the good ol' days!

  • what an interesting vid; early hip hop, ny club with disco elements, nyc pre 9-11, and the members of n.o. checking out the scene. interesting indeed!

  • @jetjaguar88 Arthur Baker, ye see.

  • @jetjaguar88 Erm pre 9-11 minus about 25? Lol silly man, so i guess pre 9-11 also incorporates washington if there was a picture of him walkin around new york?

  • One of the best songs ever made. I especially love the sequence in the background. Must have been hard to make that in those days.

  • @TheSkaterboybrc13 Your dad is a gay homosexual.

  • I making pizza right now...

  • Could you imagine of a guy brought in a master tape into a club now? The DJ would be scratching his head. I didn't know Dj's used Reel-To-Reels back in the day.

  • @casualsuede To record only

  • !hipsters are clueless,is art school that boring, STOP JOCKING !

  • Its as if this video was purposefully made as a time capsule... captures so much.  Awesome.

  • @DJSlo - Yes, sure seems that way! The scenes at the Fun House were filmed on a regular Saturday night of partying at the club. The doors weren't sealed for a "shoot date" or for "exclusive" actors or extras. Featured kids were real patrons of the club. The bouncers at the door were on active duty, as was Jellybean. There were other music videos shot there, but they were nothing more than a space rental for the day. This may be the 1st "reality" tv style video!

  • Thanx Galgo23, i hear this song since 28 years ago, and this production has changed many "new" hits of many wanabees pop and hip hop artists, who sample the technic and the touch of Arthur Baker, I hope for them a success, but i hope too, one day, they will be recognized, Arthur Baker, TheGreat.

  • The great Arthur Baker at the boards!

  • @poughkeepsiejohn1 ARTHUR BAKER IS GOD

  • 1996 thessaloniki comfuzio

  • hey you call my dad a faggot and a richard simmons knockoff 1st of all that was the style if you lived back then u would have the same shit off and my dad is ripped now 43 years old of pure muscle i think whoever hates is a sick homo

  • I distinctly remember seeing this video BEFORE the single was released at First Avenue in Minneapolis. I didn't get it at the time, but now it's a document of the downtown club scene in the early Eighties. I knew then that the stupid outfits that people wore in Minneapolis were nothing compared to the stupid outfits people wore in New York!

  • All hail Factory Records!

  • New order is new wave to me taking me from then to the present....

  • Holy Ghost! did an amazing homage "I will come back" love it!

  • wicked arthur bakers a legend too

  • Let's not forget Jellybean too.

  • @robotechian23rd let's forget Jellybeamn

  • Holy Ghost! - "I Will Come Back" COPY THE VIDEO

  • The synthesizers remind me of the Goblins soundtrack from "Suspiria".
