New Order
Tokyo 1985 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Kosei Nekin Kaiken Hall, Tokyo, May 1, 1985.

Five years after the death of Ian Curtis and the end of Joy Division. When Curtis committed suicide in 1980, the remaining members - Ian Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Bernard Sumner - roped in Gillian Gilbert to form New Order. With the release of Blue Monday in 1983, New Order were seen to fully embrace dance and had one of the best-selling 12-inch singles of all time.
It's arguable if New Order did the right thing by opening this Tokyo 1985 show with In A Lonely Place. While the song helped to give a sense of history to the group, it also allowed Curtis to cast a long shadow over the group. For many fans, the doom and gloom of Ian Curtis had more to say than the pop sheen of New Order.
Thanks to Rob2005 who shared the lossless tracks on the internet, fans can decide if New Order still had anything new to offer or by 1985, they were already a spent force.
Of the setlist, this is what Rob2005 noted: "This is the first of two consecutive nights that New Order played at the Kosei Nenkin Hall Tokyo. The second night was filmed and released in part on the Factory/Ikon video, Pumped Full Of Drugs. The first night was broadcast on Japanese radio, and this is a complete off-air recording of that. It starts with a Japanese announcer, who spoils the intro to In A Lonely Place and makes an unwelcome reappearance before and during Ceremony; the latter track is, furthermore, faded out, probably because the radio show was running out of time. Apart from that, this is a great recording.
"As was the band's wont at the time, the setlist of the two nights were radically different, with only five tracks common to both shows... A couple of tracks of this recording were previously available on a vinyl bootleg. Now you can hear (almost) the entire show, crackle free and with a minimum of FM static."
