Customer Reviews
New Order Live At Reading cannot be faulted. The setlist is fantastic, featuring such Joy Division classics as 'Atmosphere' and 'Isolation', and classic New Order tunes
'Regret', 'Temptation', 'True Faith' and 'Blue Monday'. The band is fantastic playing the best they ever have, and Barney is so gawky and geeky, he just comes across as being both cool and having a really good time. The only bum note is his excruciatingly embarrassing mid-song shout of "Rock the F**kin' house!" But even then, everyone onstage and off is having such a good time, you find yourself actually enjoying it.
More interesting though is the gig from New York in '81, where the band not only discern to rock the audience, they barely even look in their direction. But still, the setlist here is an absolute killer, and the band are in the transition phase, halfway between Joy Division and New Order. But of big interest here for even the casual fan is a prototype 'Temptation', which is quite simply amazing!
This is an unbeatable New Order DVD. The two concerts are short at just under an hour each, but both are fantastic gigs, well-documented. This is essential.
3 16 reissues the 1981 New York gig first shown on Factory's Taras Shevchenko. In true New Order style, the gig was held at the rather unlikely venue of the Ukrainian National Home! This performance is heavy on Movement LP songs but features a proto-version of Temptation that would show the way forward.
New Order's 1998 Reading Festival appearance comprises the main part of 3 16. Coming right after their first reunion shows in Manchester, New Order--for the first time in a long while--look to *enjoy* playing live. The band include Joy Division classics like Atmosphere and Love Will Tear Us Apart in the set list as well as a reworked version of their own True Faith. New Order end with their 1990 England anthem World in Motion, played live, and to great effect, for the first time.
Finally, the disc includes about a 25-minute September 2000 interview with the band in a Manchester hotel conducted by band intimate Miranda Sawyer. The interview is dominated mostly by Barney and Hooky but is perhaps one of the more revealing interviews ever done with the band. For the first time, New Order seem comfortable discussing themselves and their legacy.
London Records could not have done a better job for a first New Order DVD. Five stars at a minimum.
