New Order live, 1985, 'As It Is When It Was'

[prescribedrecords]

All who want PFD soundboard polished & released properly thumb up

[ObliqueStrategy]

Why the hell isn't a full-quality soundboard version of this for sale on iTunes??!!?!!!

The last verse alone is AMAZING.

I'll NEVER understand why Brotherhood is considered a disappointing New Order album.

[deanc2000]

Brotherhood had great songs on it, but the production of very poor on the songs.  It didn't do them justice at all. In fact, I have this concert on DVD, and it sounds much better than Brotherhood.

[Stramash007]

@deanc2000 The production was fine and the album is great. Live stuff has a vibrancy agreed, but the sound on PFD is often distorted. Check Perfect Kiss 10 min version, quality, but Barney's cowbell is so out of time.

"I feel no pain and I feel no joy" was my mantra this year. But... 'it got better'!

[WLancs]

There was money in this release for New Order and Factory records. If you were aware of it's existance and could purchase it, that is. Local guy too.....

Another hole in the foot for Factory.

Nothing like Stephen Morris' drums...

I remember picking up the Brotherhood cassette in the fall of '86. I had a handful of other cassettes when I saw this one. I put them all back so I could concentrate on New Order's latest. I was not disappointed. Great song from a great album.

I read ... what went wrong from Low Life to Brotherhood ?

The obvious thing for N.O to keep on moving and not standing still.. So nothing went wrong !

[whenitwaz]

Now we will play you some thing else that you don't know was, Subculture .

[andreigurgel]

Amazing. 24 years and it's so from these days.

[stellaviolens]

What went wrong from Lowlife to Brotherhood. If they played this in a Mall i'd probably leave and not come back for a year.

Apart from BLT this lp withered on the vine.

[soulstylist]

You're insane. Brotherhood is fantastic. What exactly don't you like about it?

[Mozzer232]

Really? Brotherhood is fantastic!!!  Where I prefer Low Life to it, but I don't think its clear which is better.

"thieves and crooks who make a living out of writing love songs and all the things in your life that go wrong"

[tonee127]

@pumapele the last 2 lines here are far stronger than the album version, love this gig wish I was a jap in 85 :~
