New Order concert review
O2 Academy Brixton in London, UK
Tue, 17 Nov 2015

Why bother inviting an excellent band to support you, and then not only letting them perform at 30% volume and clearly not allowing them a sound check????? Poor Horrors!!!

They had the worst sound I've ever heard. The guitar was practically silent.

Then after the first act, the DJ comes on at almost double their volume?!? It was fricking outrageous!! A total insult to the support act.

As for the main act, I couldn't really hear them so well either as the kick drum and snare were so loud with a huge decay that it masked most of the detail of the rest of the music.

For me it was like listening to a cheesy 4-to-the-floor house beat, with New Order playing somewhere in the background. I was hoping for a bit of synth grit. All I got was a dull 4-to-the-floor bass drum. Was like listening to a cheesy dance mix of every track.

At least had two songs break from it with the Joy Division tracks.

Oh well, everyone else seemed to like it.
