this was the penultimate song they ever played (Buenos Aires November 2006). Brought tears to my eyes, the intensity, they went all out, you could almost sense Curtis and Gretton's presence offstage
The original was all about tone and Barney's style of course. This is still good, very faithful indeed, well it's them. But it doesn't quite get the tone over, it's there mind you - must be a generational thing, transmission loss(titter). Pity they stopped!
moaning about playing the same set? reading 98 until last year, they've pretty much played the same set - brixton, finsbury park, newcastle and how many more?....your back catalogue and the money for tickets, pull ya fingers out...
I agree with you, Barney is amazing. The person who took issue with your statement is probably a guitarist, and probably someone who overrates virtuosity. If by virtuosity one means a technically superb guitar player than I would agree Barney is not a virtuoso. However by that definition Steve Vai is probably a virtuouso but has he composed even one song that can even approximate Shadowplay, Transmission, Crystal, etc. etc.? Anybody being objective and honest has to say, resoundingly, NO.
In my mind Johnny Marr is one of the greates, but when i got into JD i realized how great & unique Barney is. Even the great Johnny Marr said when he first listened to JD he never heard anyone play guitar like BS.
i like this song! and new order too

To justify my last comment, I think the lead guitar was the real hero on Shadow Play.

I think I prefer it to the JD version.
...stands back and waits for the torrent of abuse from Ian Curtiss fans.

I find it incredible that this song is only Bass, drums, electric guitar, and voice. It sounds so amazing.

Barney didn't get lazy he needed to work on his vocals that's why he didn't play as good as when in Joy Divison

I really like Barney's voice on this one. Shadowplay and Warsaw really worked well for him, more than the other JD songs NO played, I think.

Great song, but not quite the same as the 1978 version.
