New Order

Great band, great show, very disappointed in the YouTube theater, everybody has to stand up whenever somebody comes down the row. It’s very disappointing to see that they couldn’t give another two or 3 inches for people to be able to function but that’s corporate greed for you. and charging $45 to park to try to claw their $1.8 billion investment back doesn’t make it any more appealing, I’d rather drive to San Diego to see the same band for a fraction of the price and hassle, it was great hearing new order play all of their classics, but it was a relatively short set.

A wall of sound! Vocals were a bit lost in the mix but the bass and drums were all in. I like that the live New Order is substantially different but just as good as the studio recordings. What a powerful experience.

What a truly amazing show this was! Couldn’t believe when I saw that New Order was playing such a small venue and jumped on tickets immediately. Epic almost 3 hour set with surprise guests of Johnny Marr and Neil Tennant showing up to play some Electronic songs. This is a night I will not soon forget.

Groupe au top, par contre très mauvaise organisation du Zénith ! On achète un billet en catégorie placement libre, mais au final on est recalé partout ! Fosse blindée (impossible d'y aller si on n'est pas arrivé en premier), d'abord on me dirige vers une 2ème entrée, là on me recale encore, j'arrive à une 3ème (dans les gradins). Les gens squattent partout, notamment dans les escaliers, je me mets donc debout derrière des places assisses, mais prends garde à ne pas me placer direct devant les rangées assises derrière moi, pour ne pas bloquer la vue. Un type râle quand même (alors que oui, moi aussi j'aurais adoré trouver une place ailleurs !), un vigile finit par arriver pour me dégager (probablement appelé par le type d'avant, qui concrètement devait encore bien voir la scène, peut-être juste un minuscule bout à gauche en moins). Je demande au vigile où me mettre (car tout est rempli), expliquant qu'on arrête pas de se faire éjecter de partout, et que tout ce que je demande c'est qu'on m'indique un emplacement précis pour pas me refaire éjecter 2 minutes après. Le vigile reste vague en disant qu'il faut pas rester devant les escaliers (car oui, j'étais devant des escaliers, pas devant des spectateurs) tandis que les gens qui squattent les escaliers même et empêchent le passage, n’ont pas l'air de le gêner (concrètement je ne bloquais rien du tout, il y avait de l'espace derrière moi pour emprunter les escaliers en question). Bref, on m’expulse de partout, mais on ne propose aucune solution concrète où me mettre ! Alors que mon billet je l'ai payé, donc il devrait y avoir la place nécessaire pour me mettre quelque part ! Peut-être le Zénith devrait-il vendre moins ou alors s'assurer de pouvoir caser tout le monde sans problème grâce à des ouvreurs ? Au final, je me déplace de quelques mètres (merci à la fille qui m'a dit de venir juste à côté d'elle), et des gens ont encore plus squatté l'endroit où j’avais été quelques minutes auparavant, bloquant bien plus que moi

Have waited over 30yr to see New Order and it was Easily one of the best shows i have seen in years. It was a lively and festive crowd of diehard fans, young and old. The Orpheum was the perfect venue, a beautiful old theater with great acoustics. Am seeing them again in Madrid in a few months, and cannot imagine how they will top the performance they gave in Nola last night.

New Order is one of my favorite bands of all time but I had never seen them live because I've heard that they were terrible in concert. I was pleasantly surprised at the energy that Bernard Sumner displayed throughout the show. Much, much better than I had anticipated. For a child of the 80s- this was a fantastic trip down memory lane and I'm so glad I went!

Band sounded awesome! Venue is a no for me. I’m short so I wasn’t able to even get a glimpse of the stage. This is my second time “seeing”a show here and I am not happy with the bottom floor at all. Line to get in which is fine and then another line once you get in? They check tickets when you come in, why do they have to check them again once you go in?

It was AMAZING to see New Order! The venue is terrible, though. Partly because it’s a basketball arena, and partly because it’s operated by Ticketmaster/Livenation. I was able to buy tickets that weren’t resale, so I paid $63 per ticket for nosebleed seats. If I have the chance to see New Order again, I will definitely get in on the presale if there is one, and am hopeful they will do like the Cure, and forbid dynamic pricing.

New Order and The Pet Shop Boys were both excellent. In excellent form and very entertaining. Packed house and everyone up and dancing for most of it despite all being fans from back with these bands started. 😉 The light show for PSB was amazing.

I love them, they were amazing but their sound quality wasn’t good. Not sure why but once the Pet Shop Boys came on stage their sound was amazing!!! I never understand why this happens. Maybe someone can explain?

I wanted to love this. I've been listening to New Order since the mid-eighties. Part of my life. The show was postponed twice and delayed by two years! And the band were terrific. Unfortunately, Bernard is just not a great live singer. Couldn't stay on key, seemed to forget lyrics. I'm glad to have seen them.

Pet Shop Boys and Paul Oakenfold were amazing. New Order not so good, the atmosphere dropped when New Order continued to play. I know New Order aren’t known for their harmonies but the singer seemed way off key. Still a good show, great venue, stage lighting, lasers and music, for the most part

Really enjoyed it but the wall of sound initially was muddled and lacked definition. It improved later though. Also, the lighting from the sides and the smoke totally obscured the band and you had to watch the monitors to see anything. Overall, enjoyed it though. Set list is here: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/new-order/2022/budweiser-stage-toronto-on-canada-1bb01d90.html. Great to hear Love will Tear Us Apart.

Was as far back in the lawn section as possible - different, less than desired, perspective. That said, created a view of the experience that made for an appreciation of the event and environment. A true treat. Oh wait, you want to know about NO - spectacular as always.....

The pet shop boy stole the show amazing sound lighting stage costumes the whole production was massive Extremely entertaining colorful and enjoyable. however new order can't say much for that show lack of lighting lack of excitement poor choices of good songs list They really didn't play any of their best songs as far as I'm concerned from the no album . Very disappointing set list.The Pet Shop Boys were definitely in there for the money new order was definitely there for hot dogs cheeseburgers and French fries

Great to see such a big show in such an intimate theatre. They looked like they were having a great time playing their set. (I could do without Superheated and Tutti Frutti, but the Joy Division encore forgives all sins)

Excellent show. Set was well chosen with a mix of the old classics, a few deeper cuts, and the "newer" ones. Tom Chapman did a solid job on bass but we all know he's no Hooky. That said, you can always get your Hooky fix as he seems to play Toronto yearly.

New Order is always fantastic live, if you haven’t been to a New Order show, or its been a few years, make sure to catch this tour - you won’t Regret it. The setlist is impressive with tracks spanning their 40 year career. I’ve included my Apple Music playlist for the US tour and should be accurate to within a song or two. Cheers https://itunes.apple.com/us/playlist/no-us-2018-setlist-jeff-eagle/pl.u-e27mtD20Gy

best show of the music tour so far seen 4 of them. would say the 2 hour set prefer to go back to 1.30 tops. but hard I know. .more mixing of set. thieves like us. Mr disco love vigilantes etc. but realise this is hard. 30 Years ago same venue they were not so good but that could be a fading memory 😊😊

The show was great and they sounded good other than people not sitting or the fact that the venue wasn't actually for people to be able to dance (Chicago Theater) the show and lights and visuals screens and audio was good. Long lines for refreshments also a hassle.
