Hello everyone.

As I write this for you, I am drunk, fretting over how I will be able to function at work in four hours. What a night.

New Order (well, Bernard, Phil and Tom) played an instrumental of Your Silent Face with a string quartet while the Mancunian poet fellow (too drunk to remember hius name) performed a fantastic poem about Tony Wilson. Bernard and Phil played Synths with the string quartet, Tom did the bass.

Then Bernard, Phil, and Tom playedd California Grass from Lost Sirens for the first time ever...

With Iggy Pop on vocals.

They then played Tranmission (duet between Iggy and Bernard) and Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Then Iggy played Sister Midnight backed by the Patti Smith Band with Phil playing Keyboards.

Patti Smith played Horses, Gloria, Power to the People.

Amazing amazing amazing night of incredible music.

I went out with Billy Caldwell afterwards and he got me very drunk. Every time I go out with someone from Manchester, I end up very drunk.

More later, when I am hung over at work.

When I was a Senior in High School, I wrote my Senior Thesis paper on Patti Smith's Horses and TS Eliot's The Hollow Men.

I love you all.

ZAS

It was really a great night, ZAC said it perfectly, it was nice meeting him again, it was so nice seeing Bernard at the end of the show with all the other artists singing together and dancing all around.

Here are some cool videos as well.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like it was a good night. Seems strange Iggy Pop appearing on stage with New Order, never really had him down as a New Order fan .

It isn't really necessary be a fan. It's just a benefit concert and the artistical concept is the crossover of some musicians on stage. We can see quite clearly on the videos Bernard behaving much more as a Iggy's fan than the opposite. Barney was completely amused to play with him.

Probably Ian was somewhere enjoying this... one of his heroes singing "dance... dance to radio".

Here is a more comprehensive review as I drink my 3rd cup of coffee at work and try to fend off my deep desire to SLEEP.

New Order and Iggy Pop are two of the main reasons I became a musician. I grew up listening to them.

First, Bernard and Co. played an instrumental version of Your Silent Face with a string quartet and Mike Gary, the poet from Manchester doing spoken word over it. Then Iggy came out and they played the New Order song Californian Grass (which has never been played live..Iggy sang it like a lounge lizard, very cool).

Then they played the Joy Division songs Transmission and Love Will Tear Us apart with Bernard and Iggy singing them as a duet! Fucking Brilliant! Iggy sounded really good singing the Joy Division songs and you could tell how psyched Bernard was to be playing with him.

Then the Patti Smith Band came out and backed Iggy on Sister Midnight and Nightclubbing (two of my faves)...and then Phillip Glass came out and they played a Glass piece with Iggy doing spoken word over it.

The night climaxes with Patti Smith coming out and singing Lou Reed's Perfect Day...then, backed by her band, Patti sang HORSES! HORSES! HORSES!

I wrote my Senior AP English paper in High School on Patti Smith's Horses (comparing it thematically with TS Eliot's The Wasteland), so this was a very powerful moment for me. Then Patti and Co. played Gloria! The night ended with every single musician coming out and singing Patti's Power to the People.

I mean....I got to see three of my major musical heroes share a stage...in Carnegie Hall no less. I'm a big Glass fan too. It was a really amazing experience.

Robert Randolph opened the night backed by the Patti Smith Band. I've never seen RR before..that guy is amazing, he was wailing away on the pedal steel guitar it was so good.

The dudes from the National also play. Does the guitar player from the National always forget to tune his guitar? Dude held up the set for two minutes while he tuned his guitar...and then when they did their second song, he forgot to plug his guitar in! It was really funny.

Low point of the evening was listen to 15 minutes of Sufjan Stevens whining. Sorry folks, I cannot stand that guy. Luckily, after he was done, New Order and Iggy came out and mopped the floor with him.

This was an incredible night. Monday night I saw the legendary Genesis BREYER P-ORRIDGE do a spoken word performance 2 feet away from me. Sunday night I saw an amazing band from Japan called Buffalo Daughter. Saturday night I saw Cibo Matto.

All of this in four days. Only in New York. This is why, if you are a creative person, NYC is still one of the best places to be.

I have to say that Iggy singing Transmission was really powerful and cool.

Mike Gary doing his spoken word piece about Tony Wilson while Bernard, Phil, and Tom played KW1 with the string quartet was really lovely.

When Iggy, backed by the Patti Smith Band, did Sister Midnight, Phil did some cool synth stuff.

Here they are doing Californian Grass. I love how Iggy sounds on this. When Bernard announces the song..the first person who screams "YEAH!"..that is my voice, haha. I was definitely geeking out. I think Tom, Phil, and Bernard were probably geeking out too.

Iggy playing with Bernard & the Stooges is undoubtedly super cool!

But some people on here's constant need to turn every little thing into an anti Hooky thread is embarrassing at times, grow up FFS!

Great version of Californian grass, never seen Barney look so happy! Iggy sounds good singing the joy division tracks as well. Looked a good night.

At this point, the only person to blame for any ill will is Hooky himself.

Though I didn't mention Hooky in that post, it was a bit of a dig meant to stress the magnitude of Bernard (and Phil & Chappy, whom you refer to as Stooges [Iggy's old band was nowhere in sight]) performing with a musical hero. Not only do I believe Hooky might be a tad jealous, I can't help wondering if Barney considered what Ian would have thought about the opportunity.

There are those who believe any posting of an opinion to an internet forum is inherently sad. But don't tell me to grow up in a reply utilizing emoticons!

Just watched Californian Grass, Bernard is clearly having a great time, it's hard to think of anyone more appropriate for them to do something like this than Iggy Pop who was such an inspiration to them when they started out..

Nice new Rickenbacker for Barney there, not seen him play that one before. He's been playing Ricks on LWTUA for ages now, but that's a vintage model right there. Must be nice to have nice things...

I forgot to mention that when Phillip Glass announced New Order and Bernard, Phil, and Tom came out...there was MASSIVE applause and cheering, I mean, they practically got a standing ovation just for coming out onstage...Iggy and Patti were the only two other performers to receive such a reception that night. NYC loves New Order. People found Bernard's in between song banter amusing.

Also, earlier in the night, while Phillip Glass was playing, Bernard was standing off to the side of the stage watching him intently. Bernard loves Phillip Glass, we talked about him quite a bit last summer, and I remember Bernard playing a Glass piece on the piano backstage in Philly.
