511-It's here, it's not an import, and it's far from perfect, October 29, 2003
This review is from: New Order - 511 (DVD)
However, that does not mean that this was a terrible show or a terrible DVD. Far from it. This is the maturation of New Order, this is New Order without Gillian, this is New Order Midlife, this is New Order pure and simple. I've watched and listen to this DVD excessively, enjoying it each and every time. Yes, it was filmed in the daylight. Yes, there is something missing from the stage show, but it is truly a buffet for the ears. From the opening chords of "Crystal" through the overplayed "Blue Monday" (before playing, Sumner jokes "we'll play 'Rock the Shack.' Or 'Blue Monday.' Raise your hands if you want 'Rock the Shack' or take out your ------- if you want 'Blue Monday'") the concert is electrifying, a great show and a great listen. There are 5 Joy Divison songs and 11 New Order tunes (hence the title) and all sound fresh and well-rehearsed, and it is great to hear Sumner's raw, unpolished "ooohing" during "Temptation." Visually, it's a bit droll, what with the rain, mud-soaked concert goers (you'll spy some families here and there), and the little glimmers of daylight. But that makes it fun, because this is a testament to New Order's dedication and ability. They could have easily backed out ("I'd rather be home watching Stars on Sunday," Sumner jokes) but instead, the band and the fans rock out and have a great time. This is a great DVD--better than 316, in my opinion--and worth watching over and over again for any New Order fan or anyone who simply wants to hear a band playin at their best.

this brought a smile to my face, September 28, 2004
This review is from: New Order - 511 (DVD)
I must state that I have heard of New Order but never listened to their music; furthermore, I'm a die hard Joy Division fan, and, only recently, I learned that New Order was Joy Division minus the original singer. I feel foolish - real flippin' foolish.
I bought this DVD when I noticed that " She Lost Control" was on the set list. That song is phenomenal, a personal favorite for decades. Damn, the band nailed it and then some. I mean, they tore that thing right into the ground.
Anyway, the entire concert is just incredible. Now, I am a New Order fan. It was nice seeing middle aged men who were being themselves and delivering a mind blowing performance. There were no costumes or fancy stage productions, just musicians in t-shirts and jeans who can drive a crowd into a frenzy.
The audio is well produced and the camera work is nicely done. I was entranced and found myself on my feet boppin' around. I'm not exagerating; the performance is that powerful and fun.
I am truly sorry that I went all these years without having New Order in my collection of music. That will be remedied.
Buy this DVD...
