Me too, it’s so plaintive.

I do not know which one that is, looks like its from a mobile phone, however their are lots, I use https://www.setlist.fm
Useful references and good if they list concerts you went to when young to see what was played, I always try and get a photo of the setlists now and update the site if none else does

Not for me, I gave up listening to Joy Division/New Order after hearing about this. Why can’t bands just stick to music instead of sticking their oar into things that are nothing to do with them? 
For my finale, hopefully ‘Decades’ away, that’s crossed my mind too.
As with The Smiths and The Cure, young genius self taught songwriters/composers.

I love it too. My introduction to Joy Division was hearing this played on the radio by the great Annie Nightingale (RIP).
You know nothing about music if that is what you think

The app is Concert Archives, really good for keeping a record of gigs if you’re into that kind of thing.

Setlist is another good site and they are linked now, so if you input a gig, Setlist will upload the Setlist to that gig.
You can upload photos and videos from the gig.
The Crass gig was a bit naughty, invaded by skinheads giving all the punks a slap. Luckily I was only a whppersnapper at the time so managed to dodge the bullets.

One of my lasting regrets is that Buzzcocks tour (1980?) - went to see them at London Lyceum, but decided to give the 'unknown' support a miss and go to the bar instead
Great, thanks for this - I've been to 100s of gigs over the decades, so it would nice to 'catalogue' the ones I can remember, and compile a record.

I used to collect ticket stubs but that’s gone down the pan now with e- tickets/ barcodes so looked at alternative and thought this app was great.The app is Concert Archives, really good for keeping a record of gigs if you’re into that kind of thing.

Oh OK, but for the avoidance of doubt "acoustic" is unamplified music; JD had amplified guitar, bass and keyboard.
Morris/Gillian referred per se to all their Joy Division and non synth New Order music as “acoustic”.

I knew what you meant. They refer to side one of Brotherhood as 'acoustic' and side two as 'electronic'.
We went to see Peter Hook & The Light at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill last night. They were amazing, almost three hours of great songs, Hooky still has ‘it’ in bucketloads.
Amazing venue and location as well!
In your many gigs, have you seen them yet? Second time for me, it seemed even better. Interesting to see a wide demographic with people in their 30’s, the legend continues.
I’ve seen New Order, I think it was with Hooky in 2005 (memory is sketchy), but not Hooky on his own. I’d certainly go if he came to Berlin. just checked dates and nothing showing.

Wasn't sure what to expect from Hooky at the DLWP but a very authentic sound all round and credit to him and band for reeling out those anthems for over 2½ hours.
Can't recall going to gig with such a comprehensive set and scheduled interval.
Since a disappointing New Order gig at Brighton Centre in 1986 have put off seeing them again.
