J-Card Comment Bit of a strange one this, didn't tape it myself as i knew
the taper from my contacts working in the local record
shop in town"Listen Records".
The gig itself was the Reading Uni Rag Ball and as such there
was a mixture of your hardcore N.O fans and the Tux & Ballgown
brigade, i think this is reflected in the gig itself.
I was getting to as many N.O gigs as i could during this period,
i'd previously seen/taped them at Sheffield Roxy where the crowd was 100%
N.O and the band seemed to recognise this.New Order gigs up
north were generally a better deal, i still hate London gigs
myself, too much posing not enough participation.

The highlight of this performance is it's the first time they played
1963, strangely enough the first time they played Reading University
was also the first time they played an encore (with section 25).

Anyhow, the taper was a guy known as Lazlo
recording equipment unknown
Given to me as a 1st generation tape
