Joy Division und New Order > NEW order

NEW order @ The Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, 3.5. 2005

<< < (2/5) > >>

confusion:
Deshalb ist eben verwunderlich Run Wild und dann 2 neue Stücke hintereinander. Die Stimmung soll ja dann auch abgesackt sein, wie auch die Chicago Tribune weiter ausgeführt hat.

ニュー・オーダー:
Tja, ist doch das gleiche wie 2002... Auch da haben sie schon ihre kreativität verlore... Ich finde es sehr schade das die Konzerte immer identischer werden. Da kann man wirklich nur hoffen das sie in Europa einige Songs austauschen werden.

New Order is a joy undivided

 Even with 25 years under its collective belt--more, if you include its slightly earlier incarnation as Joy Division--New Order still often behaves like it has stumbled fortuitously into its place in the post-punk pantheon. For years the band has exhibited a remarkable lack of ego, its particular genius stemming from an endearing casualness.

But the more these affable blokes from Manchester shrug off any honorifics, the more their followers offer them. The thousands at the sold-out Aragon Ballroom on Tuesday night worshiped the band like a spirit-fearing ancient tribe witnessing a solar eclipse.

New Order, for its part, has gradually shifted from being almost confrontationally aloof to grudgingly accepting, and perhaps even being proud of, its legacy. That's noticeable from the number of Joy Division songs the group now regularly and enthusiastically sticks into its set.

"That was a beautiful song by Joy Division," singer Bernard Sumner said after the group played its first encore of the spectral and spectacular "Atmosphere." He then said, "This is a beautiful song by New Order," before the band began the hypnotic pulse of "Your Silent Face."

Those two songs capped a stunning evening of music that ranged from rockers such as "Crystal" to more dance-oriented tracks such as "True Faith," "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "Blue Monday." Hot off a celebrated performance at California's Coachella festival, New Order proceeded to eclipse that set in even better spirits and better form.

Sumner played jaunty melodica to start the group's wartime meditation "Love Vigilantes," while drummer Stephen Morris deftly embellished various programmed rhythms. New member Phil Cunningham helped keep songs such as "Krafty" afloat during the quiet bits, then aided the band as it soared into one ecstatic chorus after another.

Yet the heart of New Order remains bassist Peter Hook, the melodic hum of his guitar the group's most identifiable trademark and his splay-legged stances and lurching strumming the most overt link to the band's punk roots. As the minimalist "Temptation" hit euphoric heights and "Regret" the right notes of romantic longing--and even when the band took a breather with the banal "Jetstream"--Hook's playing always provided a vital boost.

That was never more apparent than when the group pounded out furious renditions of Joy Division's "Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart." In fact, all four members seemed to tap into stores of power and energy they sometimes kept in check during lighter numbers, as if recognizing the lasting impact of these songs and the need to do them justice.
