LA RECENSIONE
"I saw the New Order!"
Relegated almost under the giant left monitor, stuck to the barrier that separates us budget fans from those who secured a spot in the Pit by shelling out a few extra euros, I almost exclusively filmed the images on the screen, because the stage is 25 meters away, and I can't capture, from there, Stephen Morris, the exquisite texture that was first the tapestry of the Joy Division and then the New Order.
"I saw the New Order!"
The faces of the Pit audience say it, captured by excellent direction, happy people, very happy indeed. For a lot of people it was the first approach to Sumner, Morris, and Gilbert, and the joy in their eyes did not escape the camera tours.

For me, it was the second chapter. I terribly missed the Piper in 1982, because 24 hours before I left for military service. I made up for it in Turin in 2005, with Hook about to, a year later, cause his usual scene on his own, this time unforgiven. Full boxes, I imagine, but what a loss. In Rho, the New Order opened for the Cure, three hours of anesthetic with some unforgettable gems, but three hours of Smith is really too much. One hour of New Order (unfair) and eleven pieces, but enough to make the happy eyes of the fans in the Pit and at the barriers shout, 50-year-olds, 40-year-olds, and many 25-year-olds.

I won’t even list the songs, they are from the batch (19-20) selected for the end of 2011 dates and throughout 2012. A complete setlist would have lasted half an hour more, a total of 16 songs. Too bad.
Beautiful. Thank you, and don't stop. Even without Hooky.

Summary by Bot
The review captures the emotional experience of watching New Order live at the Heineken Jammin Festival in 2012. Despite distance from the stage, the reviewer highlights the joy of fans and the band's energy. The setlist was shorter than ideal, but the performance was nonetheless memorable. The absence of Hooky is noted but does not diminish the appreciation. Overall, it’s a grateful and nostalgic reflection on a cherished concert moment.
New Order
New Order are an English band formed in Manchester in 1980 by Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris after the end of Joy Division; Gillian Gilbert later joined. They became influential for merging post-punk with electronic and dance music, with classics such as “Blue Monday.”26 Reviews
