New Order - 1983-06-21 - Florentine Gardens, Los Angeles CA

New Order 1983-06-21 Florentine Gardens Los Angeles, CA Taper: JC Using: Sony ECM-990F mics into a Sony TC-D5 ANA1 copy as the master has been long-lost. In honor of the 40th anniversary of this show and those who made it possible. Setlist 01 Your Silent Face [0:00] 02 Chosen Time [7:16] 03 Age Of Consent [11:39] 04 Temptation [16:36] 05 We All Stand [24:16] 06 Senses [30:05] 07 Hurt [34:45] 08 Everything's Gone Green [42:07] 09 Ceremony (start cut) [46:45] 10 Confusion [51:16] There's some speed issues at the start of KW1 (caused by the speed control getting inadvertently nudged), I've attempted to slow down the recording to better blend in the starting bit, as well as also repaired the volume drop between 1:25 and 1:35 on the original source. Flip point is between EGG and Ceremony, with the start cut from the latter. After posting this I contacted JC to let him know that this had been shared which he gave his blessings for and he passed the following along to me... "This was a memorable show. Jolly the miscreant purveyor of Better Badges was on the door and gave us "go as you please" passes so I went in and set up to record the show. My daughter went downstairs and ate the bands' dinner. The boys saw me setting up an came down to the floor, told me they were pleased at what I was doing. Then the huge surprise... Anthony Wilson shows up unannounced and unexpected, huge excitement for the band and I got to meet Tony Wilson (who stood next to me while I taped). My daughter meanwhile frugged the show away on stage with the band. Them were the days, never to be topped Thanks Amigo...." He then shared one more thing with me. During the show, a few young men noticing the distinctive tomahawk shape of the ECM-900F got ideas to all shout something together loudly into it. At the same time, both JC and Tony Wilson simultaneously kicked the nearest miscreants in the nuts, no way were they going to be allowed to ruin this recording. Frugging was a style of dancing reminiscent of the twist..don't get other ideas :=)
