New Order/Run Run Run - Queen Elizabeth Theatre

New Order played this same venue twenty-five years ago, as part of the tour for "Technique." Although Peter Hook was missing this time, the current version of the band did a great job in rolling out the hits for the enthusiastic crowd.

The set list hewed closely to what had been performed at recent shows, with a couple of exceptions. "Isolation" was included early in the set as a fourth Joy Division song, adding to the encore of "Transmission," "Atmosphere," and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" that had been played at the Seattle show. These same four Joy Division songs had been played at last year's New Order show in Las Vegas.

For me, the biggest surprise in the set list was the inclusion of "Run Wild" from the "Get Ready" album. Based on the reactions of those around me, this song was not well known among those who came primarily to see "Blue Monday," "True Faith," and "Bizarre Love Triangle."
