i stood at the alter of new order beginning with the first time they came to San Francisco - and I do agree with your Dud comment buy when they play their old stuff and I get glimpses of their youth and the reasons I used to dig their music so much...I can almost forgive them...
For the longest time, this was the only Joy Division cover the band would ever play, for Ian's demon was too near. The live version on JD's "Still" album is the best version hands down. It is powerful and sad
I personally don't like Ian's vocal on Ceremony and it's not because of the sound quality. My favourite version is New Order's original, their very first single.
Oh wow! I just saw the DVD and I was kind of disapointed that New Order didn't sing "Ceremony". I didn't know that they did but it wasn't included in the DVD 316. Why oh why?!?
Yeah, I was at the Reading 98 gig and "Ceremony" got a fantastic reaction from the crowd - I was gutted when they left it off the DVD.
There were also 2 other tracks which didn't make the "316" DVD: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (again, a classic performance, so why leave it off?); and "Confusion" (my least favourite NO track, so not really missed).
GREAT

shut up you "DICKHEAD"
To even attempt to follow Curtis on such a classic song is suicide, but Summner had a go , and did more than O.K.

I agree with the best live comment. Reading, in my opinion, was the last great New Order concert. Everything after 1998 was a dud.

Yeh kinda agree, but shakey, but Nov 2005 brixton was pretty spot on very good performance.

this version of ceremony (vocally) is the best of sumner's work live usually he sings horribly live but he held his own for this one
