Life Performances

Still heavily a work in progress...thanks to Dec Hickey, Josef K, Paul Meldon and Mark Buckwalter for the info so far...



1983-xx-xx Fridge - Brixton

One track ("Touch The Sky") has surfaced from this show, taken from the mixing board. The date could be Dec 10th, as somebody who had recorded their show (the tape has now been lost sadly) said they opened for New Order, but since NO wasn't known to have played the Fridge, he may have crossed them up with the Wake, who did play on that date.

1984-05-14 Royal Festival Hall - London (w/ New Order, John Cooper Clark, and Keith Allen

Miners benefit. Amazingly, given the nearly dozen or so rcordings of New Order, that none have surfaced for Life.
