Went to their concert on the Technique tour. Flyers being passed out in the crowd of an after party with New Order attending. My friend and I went. Not many people did, probably thought it was fake. Was at this small bar. About an hour being there, sure enough, they showed!! No one really recognized them. Had the chance to talk at length with Bernard and Gillian at different times. Bernard told me to be on the look out for a new Factory band called Happy Mondays. And Gillian gave me a kiss on the cheek , Thanking me for being a fan. Was 21 then, now 56 and will ALWAYS remember this great lifetime memory!!
No. He just can't sing as well as he used to. Despite him always being a mediocre singer, it worked very well, as all of the other elements of the music outshone his vocal performances.
I love this extended version. Bernard never was very good live. But I had the privilege to see this version played live in perfection. Both sound and vocals. I just couldn’t stop crying. It was so beautiful. Thank you new order
