New Order live, 1985, 'Sunrise'

[MrBlacklorre]

This is their best song!

[djh29971]

New Order's pumped up version of 'A Forest'... :) Barney was a very interesting guitarist in Joy Division and early New Order when this was filmed. He fell asleep in later years playing really ordinary rhythm guitar. Why?!

[chrisnoaro1]

awesome track and band

[michaelangelomkII]

Insane bassline!!

[ButterflyRoseX]

I love it when Bernie get's pissed off ! His expressions are so funny & cute at the same time ! :p Poor Bernie, in a lot of his performances, there's always a technical difficulty..

[LegRoom3]

@ButterflyRoseX In the book with the retro box set it he says that in the early years of NO he sometimes had to use soldering irons on stage!

[Gallup72]

amazing!

[Westernprovince]

You can see Benard getting angry leading up to when he boots the bass drum at 4.36. Think it had shifted forward and the pedal wasn't connecting?

Great drumming from Stephen, and great bass as usual from Hooky!

[doveston1]

@Westernprovince,nah it cos he wants the bass drum turning down so he can hear what hes playing

[slumpytube]

And because he's Barney and he's a twat so much of the time!

[saborranchero]

I think he couldn't hear himself singing because the bass drum was too loud. Apparently these sound guys are sometimes incompetent.

[fiddelerselbow]

@Westernprovince Its the mic he kicks. He signals to the sound tech to lower the volume of the bass drum, the tech does'nt and bernard fixes the problem by kicking avay the bass drum mic. Thats why the bass drum cuts out.

[captaincrap1995]

@Westernprovince Nah I think it was too loud. You can hear he is struggling with the vocals because he cant hear them

[cdlm1412]

Peter Hook,.... Peter Hook

[masonjarjar]

nearly 25 years later, this music still sounds like it comes from another dimension.  Awesome.

[oriolebird]

the opening guitar line has me thinking Sisters of Mercy

[walonsubi]

Peter Hook is badass

[davidtrz]

J'écoute Low Life, tous les jours en bagnole, j'peux pas m'en empêcher... Un album magnifique !

[777system777]

yeah, steves fills during this tune are awesome. i've always admired his drumming, he really attacks his drumkit, ...very underestimated drummer, and a nice guy!

[jumbz55]

wow new order are amazing. i wish i was alive then! their drummer is insane.

[jahanders]

Great, great NO song.

[doubtseventhere]

Maybe not technically, but one of the best bands ever.

[pumapele]

love pissedoff barney kicking the bassdrum mic over

[660907]

the most influential men in history R.I.P IAN CURTIS thanks for being here.....

[UncleAstaroth]

My favourite NO tune together with Temptation. They might have recorded better tunes (Ceremony?) but Sunrise is somewhat in touch with an inner part of me.

And Low-Life is a brilliant minor masterpiece: the Love Vigilantes-Perfect Kiss-This Time of Night-Surise-Elegia streak is unbeatable.

[AIFL]

I couldn't agree more. This to me is the real New Order. Totally out there in their own world making music that sounded like it came from another planet and leaving everyone else trailing in their wake!! Unbeatable.

[riverrocks]

This is my favorite New Order song ever. Definitely one of their best - don't know why it didn't get more airplay...A few yrs ago on KROQ in LA during a listeners' request hour this was played and evidently the lines lit up with queries about this song - who is it , what's it called etc...the DJ kept joking that the listener that requested this created a huge avalanche bc people were going batshit over this, they kept repeating the info on the song.

[xyling]

Yep, it wasn't what DJ's wanted from New Order...they wanted the next synth-pop classic, they weren't interested in rock-and-roll, which New Order does very well.

[LavaLampBlob]

Marvelous - my fav song from Low Life (if only it had included long version of Perfecgt Kiss!)

[darksouldealer]

where the manchester disaffected look started...such beautiful misery

[KingRalf00]

i love post-punk rock music.

[BeeRubble]

steve morris shines in this tune, best drummer ever!

[toddp65]

Morris shines? True, but Hookey completely rocks and dominates the entire song with that mesmerizing bass

[BeeRubble]

yeah hooky is great, this is a fantastic set, even with a lame audience lol, i finally got to see them in 93 at reading and they played a classic set of mainly 'low-life and brotherhood' songs like at this gig, fookin amazing.

[ghosttroop]

New Order's early stuff is totally awesome! So ahead of their time.

[Jason2290]

Early NO rocks but If you go back in time you will find JD is the best though

[ghosttroop]

Ah, Joy Division. I've lost control and love will tear us apart apart, mate ... No love lost!

[pumapele]

i'm glad ian's dead coz isn't he the one who got joy division listening to electronic music?

[canuck21]

Yes, it was Ian Curtis who listened to Kraftwerk and he probably introduced it to Bernard Sumner.

[lacuna23]

Thanks very much adz1962 for posting these. i especially love this tune. I wish NO would have done more songs like this rather than the blip-blop techno of much of their career. It seems so much more real and sincere than much of the shoe-gazing of their time (i.e. the Cure).

[falyson]

thanks for all your postings - have you got "taras schevchenko"?

[VanishInFright]

Love it! This entire gig is amazing...because they're pumped full of drugs :P

You wouldn't happen to have We All Stand from this gig? If you could upload it I'd GREATLY appreciate it.

[adz1962]

I've just uploaded We All Stand - Enjoy!

[VanishInFright]

Thank you so much!

[Irishenglish83]

"DOWN!!". Priceless...

[tupelooo]

i always thought barney was actually an underated lyricist

[cutrim]

wow!!

amazing =D
