I must have watched this a hundred times over the past couple of years. It's one of my favourite moments in music ever. Bernie's guitar solo at the end just makes me melt.
This and the John Peel session version of 5 8 6 drive me crazy.
@TheObimara I saw them 2 weeks before this show. We were expecting Ceremony/In A Lonely Place/Everything's Gone Green/Procession (as they were the only 2 released records out) ... and whatever else we got. They played 9 songs the night I saw them. In my set list I only had 4 songs of the 9 (I guessed "Dreams Never End" as a title, and they didn't play "Ceremony").
You can find a recording of the gig I saw by Googling "New Order" + "Perkins Palace" + "FLAC".
i just won some stupid thing at work and got asked what was my favorite song and i didnt say this one and im sorry about that cuz this is it. i said boombox ft JC. But this is the shit.
yeh, It s the vox peardrop that Ian C used on LWTUA, I nearly pinched it from their rehearsal room in Salford when they forgot to lock it, but didn`t, glad about that...
@atomise2010 Actually, that's a Vox Phantom. Vox Teardrops are shaped like a teardrop, Phantoms are shaped like a skewed coffin (angled hexagon, basically). But yes, than was Ian's guitar.
isn't that Ian's guitar that Barney was playing? I read in his autobiography that he was given Ian's guitar...if not my bad, but it sure looks like it.

I used to have this twelve inch.....one of NOs best after JD.......things are coming together....drums...damn.......Barneys jangle....and Hookys unbeaten bass. This band has a ton of humor and ton questions......most influential band of the 80s.....sorry Cure fans.
I love the title of this song, it's such a perfect song for selling a hybrid car or electric car. I wonder if any auto makers have thought of using this song in a commercial.
This is phenomenal stuff. I have most of the old Factory VHS releases of New Order live, but it was nice to stumble on this. This stuff is the real deal.
@curtq Stephen is a "machine" and always has been. Plus he was the "brains" of the group. Knew lots about the new electronics that was becoming available.
My understanding is that the VOX guitar was stolen along with all the other gear on their first trip through the US in early 1981(??) so not sure that the one used on 24HP was the original used by Joy Division.
New Order's gear was stolen on Sept. 21st or 22nd 1980, right after their first US gig at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ.
I saw New Order 2 weeks before this Taras gig (in Pasadena, California on Nov. 6th 1981), so you might say I have more than a passing familiarity with them during this era ...
The timing sounds right and come to think about it, there are several references to NJ ...thanks for the info mate! I have been following NO since the very beginning ... can you imagine what we would have known back then if we hada had access to the internet? Great times just the same!
@RiotNrrrdUTube - Another question for ya ... if they had their equipment stolen in Sept 1980 and did the Taras show later in late 1981 whos' VOX is Bernard using? Somehow I thought they had lost it along with the other equipment, but obviously that could not have happened. Or is the VOX a new one they purchased after the stolen equipment?
Bernard joue en effet de la même guitare que celle qu'Ian utilisa sur "Love will tear us appart". Ian ne jouait pas de guitare. Il utilisa une guitare ou un synthé que très rarement et peut-être même que sur un seul morceau, il me semble.
Is that Ian's guitar Barney's playing. I read their equipment they used as Joy Division got stolen around this time but I'm not sure if that's his guitar he's using. It looks like the same model but there's no whammy bar and Ian's guitar had a more "metallic" sound to it because of the built in "battery-powered" effects. Nonetheless, I still think Barney's using Ian's guitar but then again I could be wrong.
To me it sounds like the same guitar, just being used into a different rig, and being played by a different person (its like how if i let someone borrow my guitar/FX/Amp and they use the same settings, they sound different even when they play the same song!). I read somewhere that he was given the guitar when Ian died, though.
Gah, IDK what's worse, some dirty shit stealing Ian's tombstone, or the actual gear. I mean, in my opinion, the tombstone is a symbol of a person, but stealing someone's actual possession shows far greater disrespect if you ask me. I hope the jackass at least had the decency to hold on to it and didn't just sell it carelessly
You know in my youth I liked New Order but as I aged I realize that it suburban music even in 1981 not that I was into them that was like 89. This was was not relevent to the "real underground" in '81 and certainly there more popular stuff that came afterwords was equal to Coldplay.
what you are trying to say dear sir, and i dare say you said it with great finesse, is the following: "i am a fool who cannot spell, cannot construct a sentence, let alone a critique on New Order. basically i am better than you all." prat.
Colplay? Colplay sell millions of records and their songs play ad nauseam on the radio. New Order sold enough records, but nowhere near mainstream quantity. The Cure and Depeche Mode both were much more popular and sold a lot more records. New Order lost tons of money for staying with Factory and that is more underground than many of your underground "artists". Beside, I don't think that New Order care to be underground or not, they just are whatever they are.
New Order is known for this Bass sound. It is said that the bass player played at a higher register because he couldn't hear himself on the crappy equipment they had in the beginning. This style stuck and became a signature sound.
It can't be the same guitar used by Ian in the Love Will Tear Us Apart clip, can it? Didn't NO have all their gear stolen during their first US tour in early 1981?
Unless it was given to Ian's family or something after he died, and they lent it back to Bernard....
Looks like Ian's Vox Phantom to me but with the whammy bar remove. Not 100% sure tho. Surely(The Vox)should've gone to Ian's family though, you woulda thought, maybe it did to start with I guess? Along with that Melodica.
No, Ian played the melodica, it was his idea to use it as he was an Augustus Pablo fan. Ian used it on 'Decades' and 'In A Lonely Place' demo version just before he died. Trust me. Obviously New Order were left with Ian's equipment when he died.

Anyway it was a great idea whoever thought of it, used a lot on early New Order stuff, I bought a melodica myself cos it's got such a cool sound for which is basically a kids instrument.
