NEW YORK (Billboard) - "New Order: Live in Glasgow" is the seminal post-punk bands first release since bassist Peter Hook confirmed the groups split in January. The two-disc retrospective offers insight into why the trio lasted nearly three decades -- as well as why it called it quits.
On Disc One, video of an October 2006 concert alternates with interviews with Hook, vocalist/guitarist Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris, edited to emphasize differences -- Hooks love for touring and rock vs. Sumners preference for the studio and dance tracks, and so on.
Disc Two features footage spanning the bands career, including endearing scenes of an awkward Sumner trying to fill the shoes of late Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis in 1981, when New Order rose from that bands ashes.
This DVD is a must-have for fans of the Factory Records legacy, especially those seeking closure after the bands abrupt farewell.
