synopsis
One of Britain's most important post-punk bands and a crucial influence on the burgeoning electronic music scene, New Order remains a potent musical force and a major concert draw more than two decades after they formed in the wake of the collapse of Joy Division, and this performance video captures the band on-stage during a major open-air concert in June 2002. New Order: 511 includes the songs "Blue Monday," "Atmosphere," "Temptation," "Crystal," "Bizarre Love Triangle," "She's Lost Control," "Love Will Tear Us Apart," and more.
