New Order - Everything's Gone Green, live in Brussels 1981


Testing the blog post feature on YouTube.
What better video to post than my all-time favourite moment in music history?
New Order live at L'Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, 1981, back when this track was virtually being composed onstage and it was still a delirious trip fuelled by a merciless sequencer.
The band couldn't care less about the quality of the performance and this is what allows an improvisation with such a strong impact.
Bernard Sumner's on top form, check him screaming he loves Jesus, barking and banging his head with the mic.
Untouchable, nothing in the world before or after this has ever reached this level.
Available on the LTM DVD Umbrellas In The Sun.
