Either sickness, vacation, prior commitment.........this time looks good LOL. Not my fave set, I missed all the classic shows but this night we'll get- Joy Division hits, The New Order albums TECHNIQUE(great) & REPUBLIC(crappy with two good songs) and an encore of New Order hits.
This is also my first time seeing him - and boy - do I wish I could have gone to all the tours. It's amazing what he's doing - basically doing tours so that people who see him will see every single song Joy Division and New Order ever recorded. My wife saw the tour where he did both Substance records. I'm with you - I like Technique.....not so much Republic....but as you said, he's opening with a Joy Division set & closing with New Order hits - so I'm sure the show will be great regardless.
Also seeing BOC/UFO on Halloween night on Staten Island.
And Too Many Voices is opening up for Joe Wood (the guy who replaced Jack Grisham and basically took over TSOL from 1983-93) at the Kingsland in Brooklyn on 11/3. He's doing a full band set of his era of TSOL. I happen to think Change Today? and Revenge are both very solid albums. The other two not so much.
