New Order played:
In a Lonely Place
Dreams Never End
Truth
Mesh
Cries and Whispers
Procession
Ceremony

I love that "steadily developing" bit about Vini Reilly. Makes him sound like someone who's just picked up a guitar instead of the genius he was.
Also, wasn't it amazing that New Order we're playing at the Squat after releasing two albums as JD?”
