New Order - The Perfect Kiss (Live at the Rotterdam Arena, Netherlands, 1985) 

one might bury the hatchet in each others heads but joking aside its sad the way it ended brilliant band

I've genuinely had this dumb wish that New Order would finally get in the (admittedly lame) rock n roll Hall of Fame and we'd get Barney and Hooky shaking hands on stage and playing a set with the original line up

Абсолютно верно. Там жизнь, нерв и красота

And OMD!

And Pet Shop Boys!

Yeah, sadly I wasn't born early enough to have been able to experience the different ipromptu versions of all these songs I've been listening to my whole life. Even if I'm limited to the different recordings out there, they're good enough to relisten to indefinitely anyway so I suppose I at least have that.

I was fortunate to hear some live versions of some songs by the Cure and Violent Femmes when they were up here, but missed NO last time they were here. And Joy Division... 😔

This song is my fav from them.

Even at the time, very few knew in the US.

Secondhand nostalgia.

@charleshope8856 my father (in his 60s) used to hear it a lot at clubs

So that’s the name of it

Red it

and dont forget the cowbell .........................

Funny thing is that post-punk/goth (pre New Wave) was primarily British, but also were Music Videos very much as well at the time. So was it the new medium of music videos that helped the UK invade the US airwaves again, the experimental nature of the music and artistic expression going on at the time wanting to try new forms of expression and/or appealed so much in the US, or that said success in the US of these UK genres led to search for new ways of further invading pop culture in unique forms of media? Or maybe it was just the perfect storm of the technological, artistic and promotional climate back in the early-mid 80s? I am sincerely asking - would love to hear what people think about this topic. It is really interesting to me and want to know others' takes on it. *Edit - corrected typo "we're" to "were"

Lol taking esp ~5:40-6:00? I mean to his defense a) he's the lead rhythm, and taking his cues from her synth loop timing and more importantly b) it's Gillian - can you blame him? I don't know if I'd be able to even play around someone so gorgeous and talented, let alone comfortably create music to perform alongside her in front of thousands of people. That or he is watching her, nervously hoping she hits all her marks in the composition he put her in charge of performing, but pretty sure it's the first scenario (especially part B, lol - is in my case at least)

They engaged in 93 and married in 94 so...

@@NicholasGarnerPDX yeah, but wondering what his mindset was then at the time. Obviously, smitten - she's amazing. But so is he so they were lucky to have came across one another

My thoughts too.

Pretty sure there was a riot when they played in Rotterdam in 84

Any serious answers greatly appreciated!

There was a riot, like @nintyfanr said!

They're doing just fine while he's off doing karaoke and living in the past.

That album kicked.

They couldn't play it for a while because of issues with upgrading their synthesizers.
