Yes, it was a good show. Yes, Bernard’s vocals were too low. Yes, I loved hearing True Faith (they didn’t play it at Coachella). Yes I screamed like a little girl when they played Temptation. (dear god, that awesome to see.) Yes, I liked hearing the older stuff better (overall, the new stuff held up pretty well to the classics — well, they held up as well as could be expected; I like the new record a lot, but it just can’t compare to something like “True Faith” or “Temptation.”) Yes, I can die happy now. Yes, I’m proud to wear a tour shirt with only four dates, two of which I got to see.
The sound was weird (problematic mostly with Bernard’s vocals), but the band was into it — more so than they were at Coachella.

Yeah, I loved it. I can die happy now. New Order and Coil were the last two bands left that I absolutely had to see and wasn’t sure if i ever would. Well, now that I won’t be seeing Coil (Johnn Balance 1962-2004), New Order was it.
