manchester academy 16may09

unfortunately ryder, morrissey & curtis couldn't make it
setlist

regret
the village
vanishing point
lonesome tonight
bizarre love triangle
touched by the hand of god
ceremony
dream attack
thieves like us
blue monday
true faith
temptation

us: "does anybody here support man city?" [cheers]

"bolton?" [polite murmurs]

"blackburn?" [less polite murmurs]

"preston north end?" [unrest]

"wigan?" [outright disapproval] [by this point we'd perhaps lost the audience]



"BURNLEY!!?"

them1: "has anyone ever told you you look like one of flock of seagulls"

them2: "has anyone ever told you you look like david bowie"

highlight: re:order in top form. sound, performance, looks and punter feedback

notes: great turn out, great re:sponse and definitely a party going on. united had just clinched the premiership and the sense that both us and the clone roses musical return to the city was eagerly anticipated. it was a VERY manchester night. there was an intended dedication to RLG on the 10year anniversary of his passing, unfortunately we had to cut the set abruptly short as we'd spent too much of the pre-gig in the queue for the bar. perhaps he would have recognised the neworder-esque sense of that. rider next time, we think.

got any pics/video?? mail us. cheers
