New Order Blackpool The Venue 1982

Had this one for sometime and recently rediscovered it. Awesome Order back when the electronics were firing up. Just read this. To quote Mark Johnson:

"Held on a windy, rain-swept evening near Blackpool's North Pier, this concert was
promoted and supported by Section 25, with an appearance by Kevin Hewick. It was
one of the group's rare nationally-advertised concerts and one Portuguese fan traveled
all the way from Lisbon to see them. Though New Order's digital sequencer had failed
the week before and could not be repaired in time for the concert, the band rented
equipment for the event. "Age Of Consent", written that month, was debuted and the
sell-out crowd of 1,000 gave New Order a tumultuous reception."

And indeed, this explains why the sequenced tracks sound so different, with "586" being
especially amazing. This is simply the best version of that track ever, which shames
all later versions, with the opening guitar and ending synth and bass work being stunning.
And a version of "We All Stand" that's a keeper, though Hurt for some reason is a shambles,
as the sequencer mysteriously speeds up a bit after 3:00 in.

The sound quality on this is as good if not better than you could hope for. I've done
very little except balance/dc offset/adjust volume and make a couple of edits to remove
long stretches of silence from various places, etc."
