Not to be outdone by Joy Division's Best Of collection, DVD, and Zune, New Order has revealed the details of its own DVD.

The Manchester dance/rock pioneers will release Live in Glasgow via Warner/Rhino on June 24 in the U.S. (It will be out June 2 in the UK.)

The first disc of the Live in Glasgow two-disc set features performances from a pair of shows the band played at Glasgow's Carling Academy in October 2006. The tunes from these sets span the band's discography, even including a few Joy Division ditties. Interspersed throughout are exclusive interviews with the band members.

The second disc is comprised of previously unreleased archival live footage selected by drummer Stephen Morris. It includes selections from eight shows, mostly from the 1980s, though there are two tracks from a 2006 concert in London.

New Order have no live shows scheduled for 2008 yet (possibly because the members hate each others' guts), but bassist Peter Hook does have some DJ dates, listed below.

Vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Bernard Sumner contributed to a Blank & Jones single called "Miracle Cure". The song comes from the German electro group's forthcoming album, The Logic of Pleasure. "Miracle Cure" comes out worldwide on May 30 and hits the UK on June 2.

didn't they formally break up last year?

that might be a reason why they don't have live shows scheduled for 2008.

noice!

yyyyyeah I think you're right on that.

I think it went:

Peter Hook said "We've split up"

The other guys said "Like fuck, have we! YOU have left, WE haven't!"

Peter Hook said "Use the name New Order and I will FUCK YOU UP!"

(I am, of course, slightly paraphrasing here....)


So the issue of whether or not they have split up is far from clear.

I expect the caberet scene to host several tours in upcoming years from "Peter Hook's New Order" and "New Order 2 with Barnie And Steve"

hoo boy.

i really hope you're wrong on that, but it sounds just ludicrous enough to come true.

Anxiety said:

I remember hearing/reading this as well. What's the deal?

Me too.

Not sure what this DVD will be like, cos NO tend(ed?) to be a bit erratic live, but their records are excellent.
Probably IS a good time for them to draw a line underneath their career though, maybe...?

i'm not terribly excited about live new order footage. i suppose live audio recordings are fine and well, but visually, there's not a whole lot to look at, and their approach is to reproduce the studio tracks as faithfully in concert as they can. they're fine live musicians, but it doesn't exactly make for a riveting performance film.
