Shoreline Amphitheatre, San Francisco, California, United States of America (2001)
Hello,
I just saw them play at Shoreline in Mountain View (near San Francisco / San Jose), California tonight. Wow, what a rush! I thought after missing their 1993 tour I would never get to see them play live in the US. It was great!
Their set list was very similar to Fuji's, but no Love Vigilantes and no Ruined in a Day. The set seemed quick -- no encore. Gillian wasn't there -- is she on the tour? Billy Corgan played backup guitar for the entire set. There was also a guy playing keyboards and guitars, presumably in Gillian's slot.
At one point Bernard got pissed with the smoke/fog machines and cursed, then later apologized. He also muttered something about a guy in the audience and said something to the audience about the guy in the audience's dick being big like his (Bernard's).
New Order was 3rd in the lineup of 5 bands at Shoreline's Area:1 Concert. First was Rinocerose, then the Roots, then New Order, then Outkast, and lastly Moby. There was also a large tent with guest DJs but I didn't see that. Outkast seemed to be the most popular with the crowd.
They put on a good show. I like Crystal much better live that what I've heard on the net. In terms of sound quality, they were in between sounding like the BBC1 concert CD from 1987 and the 1993 Reading Festival CD which is in heavy rotation in my car player.
Regards,
Daniel
