Artefact
Master Tape
New Order
27th January 1987
Another tape from the Rob Gretton Archive.
This one is for their first night in Tokyo at an unknown venue (anyone care to enlighten me?) on 27/01/1987.
There has been some recent discussion about what was played here and I was hoping to clarify this once and for all. Unfortunately the tape adds little to what's already known and is possibly incomplete.
After 'Shellshock' the audience tape is followed by 'Everything's Gone Green', on here Side A ends with 'Shellshock' but continues with 'Bizarre Love Triangle' on the flipside and 'Everything's Gone Green' is nowhere on the tape.
There's also no sign of the rumoured encore of 'Sister Ray'.
What we've got here:
01. Paradise
02. Sub Culture
03. Way Of Life
04. Sunrise
05. Your Silent Face
06. This Time Of Night
07. Shellshock
?
08. Bizarre Love Triangle
09. Face Up
10. Temptation
11. Blue Monday

I'm alos pretty sure that the mysterious Sister Ray was a second encore from one of the 1985 shows rather than 1987 - there's an anecdote about it somewhere in one of the books that says the security had left the stage area and venue exits when the band finished the set and did one encore, so when they came back on for a second encore there was a stampede of thousands of excited Japanese kids able to get to the front of the stage unimpeded!”
