God, I love watching Bernard sing. I love the way he always holds the mic so close to his mouth, and with his eyes closed. He's so mesmerising to watch ! :) I'm the opposite of what I've seen most people say. I love Bernard's voice in live performances much more than the album adjustments. It's so natural and deeper. He's so freakin' adorable to watch ! :)

You've gotta wonder what the audience was thinking; here you've got one of the first truly, totally electronic songs and the band is just standing there pushing buttons and nodding their heads instead of jamming on guitars and jumping around.

I've got all New Order's albums. They made bright songs, they made darker ones. They made intimis songs, they made commercial ones. They made a lot of brilliant songs and they made a few shitty ones. But I love New Order. I love Bernard Sumner's voice even when it's awful in live. New Order made some perfect pop songs which accompany you during your whole life. They just made human songs. So thank you New Order for being human, and I'm waiting impatiently for your next album!

@chewbaccapoopy I never said it was fully electronic, jesus christ i was just trying to defend that one dude frome being flamed, remind me to never do nice things again.

@Slushyyy639 and not just about the bass.... it's fucking 1983...... like "blue monday" is one of the first electronic songs in the year 1983.

@Slushyyy639

.... but isn't it kind of idiotic that the dude with the second top comment on this video is proclaiming that fucking "blue monday" by new order was one of the first "truly totally electronic" (you know, even when peter hook clearly plays bass in this live performance) songs? i think if someone is DEAD wrong, you should let them know, no?

[Slushyyy639]

@chewbaccapoopy i know my electronic music history asshole, but just because people dont know wether this is an early electronic song or not doesnt mean you should call them idiots... fuckin keyboard warriors.

@SchattenmannCN

This is an amazing song,and performance,but saying this is the first truly toally electronic songs is WAY wrong.

@Slushyyy639

[Slushyyy639]
