Nice to see ya'al,  easy to see why Specials were above em on set times...much more singing/joining in etc...  At least the beers in C/Arms beforehand was good practice for the mammoth bogs/beer/burger stands. Theres a canny good 5 min video clip link on that Absolute ratio link (of Linus'). Good n funny from Barny n phil...Never heard the Elvis suit in car tale

Left after Love Will Tear Us Apart, I thought the whole thing was a shambles. Got there and and no one seemed to have any idea of what was going on, screens were saying there was a 30 minutes wait time to get in which is bad enough, but it turned out to be close to an hour before I got in in, missing the first ten minutes of the set - if I could have heard New Order playing when they got on stage while waiting I might have tolerated it, but no, they were playing sodding Squeeze and Elvis Costello over the speakers while I could see Bernard in the distance.
The queues at the bars were even worse, bad enough being charged £5 for a pint of Heineken without the every man for himself attitude and the five deep queues that ensued, after deciding I wasn't that bothered about a drink, it was next to impossible to get anywhere near a decent viewing point, having had an untold amount of wankers bumping into me while they pushed through without as much as an excuse me made me decide I didn't really give a shit about either The Specials or Blur and decided to leave the plebs at large to it and go for a drink in Mayfair. The actual set itself was good, nothing wrong with the sound or the performance, it was just everything else about the show that has made me decide not to see anything else at somewhere like Hyde Park again.
Couldn't have put it any better, thanks for typing that so I don't have to. It's a shame because from what I saw of New Order's performance was really good, much better and livelier than Belgium two days earlier. We left a couple of songs into Blur, I'd just had enough of the place. Stinking attitude by some of the audience when it came to shoving people... that "Team GB spirit" in action... wankers.

I'm not wearing shorts again to a Hyde Park gig. I look like a small horse has taken several chunks out of my legs - how BIG were the bladdy flies in there? Would've stayed longer than the two Blur songs I saw, but was literally getting eaten alive. Nice to see everyone in the pub. Shame I got to see so few of you in there. New Order need to drop Elegia when opening at gigs that "aren't theirs". Talk about a killjoy of a song. Puts the audience on the backfoot from the off. Thought it was a mistake in Belgium after seeing Royksopp take the gig by the scruff of the neck, but opening with it at Hyde Park - and then dropping Regret - just seemed like suicide. Compare that to the Specials opening with Do The Dog and Blur opening with Boys and Girls - they had the audience in the palm of their hand right from the start. Just my two'penneth.

Tend to agree, Elegia works fine in a small venue environment but was kind of lost in a stadium-sized place like Hyde. Very surprised when I realised that Regret had been dropped, being one of their best-known singles and all. I would have done a Reading '98, gone straight into Regret then quickly followed up with Crystal. The band definitely played really well though and better than Belgium where Barney seemed to have a right cob on. Everyone around me was singing every word to LWTUA towards the end. What about that video as well? First time I've seen Bernard or Steve embracing the Joy Division legacy so publicly; "Joy Division Forever" and all that. Hooky's been doing it for so long you almost do forget they were in the band as well (!) a new red rag to the bull ahead of the JD book launch? I'm seriously considering doing Wales now 'cos I don't want my last UK gig - in case they go back into hibernation in 2013 - to be Hyde bloody Park. Not the band's fault the organisers fucked it all up; they did the music proud in the end. Edited by user 14 August 2012 09:44:22(UTC)

I think, Elegia worked very well at this sport related gig. A relaxed Elegia at the start and an explosion with the first beats of crystal. It is as if the sprinters are leaving in the 100 meter run the starting blocks or the basketball game begins with a jump ball. Absolutely amazing! The infrastructure (Bar, Food, toilets) were very poor for a crowd of 55.000 people. But the gigs were brilliant. Edited by user 14 August 2012 07:55:55(UTC)

agree with the post gig reviews, barring not getting in until the end of Chrystal, so can not comment on Elegia.
pennies worth being Belgium would have been a cheaper trip and by all accounts more fan friendly. hey ho, live and learn. |

I also recorded the Absolute Radio stream onto a WAV file last night and converted it into individual FLACs & MP3s. Gave it a spin on my iPod to work this morning and it's not bad audio but there's a bit of a loudness peak in Blue Monday which means after normalising the rest of the show is a little quiet. Might see if £50 Note or Analogue Loyalist are interested in mastering it properly. The actual performance is great so with the right tweaking plus a bit more bass it would be a great addition to the bootleg collection. Isolation sounds superb. Blur are releasing their Hyde Park set in 3/5 disc deluxe versions (it's already out on iTunes). Edited by user 15 August 2012 00:36:36(UTC)
