Dublin Peace Festival, Dublin, Ireland (1993)
05Jun1993
This was New Order 'headlining' a concert for peace in Northern Ireland - which meant that they went on at normal headline time - got to play for twice as long as anyone else - & then other bands came on after them again as the gig went into the early hours. As their first gig for the Republic tour it was surprising how tight they sounded - very few of their normal mistakes. Barney (& Hooky) danced like they had been taught by the karate Kid - all standing on one leg with their arms in the air. I had a little pity for the bands who came after NO as more than half of the 7,000 crowd left once their set finished. Other than NO the best band on the night would have been Something Happens, who had the crowd bopping - but NO literally blew them all away.
