20 years since I bought this single as a young pup and listened to it on repeat for weeks. 3 kids, a marriage, a house later and I'm still listening. This song has been my longest love affair.
Hard to believe this performance will be 18 years old this October. New Order were in their 40s and I was 36 in 2001...Where does the time go? "Keep it coming."
Such a great comment Ben and we totally agree! Where the fuck does time go?!?!? What the fuck is life about?!? But whatever be strong in a mad crazy (beautiful at times) world and hey like you and New Order say Ben "Keep it coming!" Thanks for the comment :-)
This performane of "Crystal" is amazing! It's as if they really wanted to prove how powerful of a performance they could pull-off, and the whole band was phenomenal.
This was 23 years ago, but if you go back 23 years from then, i.e. from 2001, then it is 1978, the year Joy Division's debut recording A Ideal For Living was released.
One of greatest tracks ever FACT & this is one of greatest live performances ever FACT. Everything about this is pure class & genius, the backing vocal, the rhythm, the drumming the energy on this one is insane..its going off massive for the whole performance..it gives you goosebumps, the beginning, the outro & that BASS is off the scale of class.Even Bernards screams are spine tingling. They way they take it down at 4:05 then hit you again BIG at 5:12 as if to say we haven't done with you yet guys it gets better, is a beautiful moment & Hooky at 4:28 saluting the backing singer✊ Oh what id give to of been in that studio to see this one.👏👏👏
Nope it's not a "fact" that this song is "one of the greatest tracks ever." It's merely an opinion. And guess what else? Calling an opinion a "fact" doesn't change what it really is. It's still just an opinion.
@@srimaddukuriwere you in the band? I love hooky just as much as the next bloke but there are always two sides to every story mate but in any event New Order 4 lyfe and R.I.P. Rob Gretton
Seattle and Manchester, two beacons of dark light for a nineties kid that loves rain. It hardly gets better than this, this is New Order at its finest.
Full circle, when this record came out I thought this track was a little cheesy, after some time really started to love it, and seeing this performance 20 years later, my god they destroy. Love the aggressive guitars and bass. Legendary.
This band has an energy unmatched by any other. There is so much movement on the stage, everybody respect each other's role in the band and in general, you can feel the good vibes they radiate! They were in fact such a positive influence in my life that I started singing and playing the bass guitar, 'cause I wanted to be as energetic as Barney and as cool as Hooky. I owe these two so much! Playing bass and singing makes me just happy, especially when I'm doing New Order stuff. It's hard to put in words. Did I mention that Hooky rocks the show? Always drawing attention to himself, knowing how to make the audience freak out and still looking this composed and relaxed. That's what I call a bass player! Not somebody who stands in the shadow of literally every other instrument in the group, but somebody who proved to the world that bass is just as melodic and virtuous as guitar. Change my mind😂
@@ivanjulian2532 Anyone who reckons that this band doesn't have an energy umatched by any other clearly doesn't understand New Order in the first place.
How good are they ! I'm always amazed how good a band they are and they can always transport me out of my mostly mundane life to the pure enjoyment of being alive .
Man this was BRILLIANT fan since Joy Division and liked the band followed to New Order seen twice in the early 80's just turned 59 came across this and it has such expertise that it sounds absolutely perfect in every way. So love this session man every instrument was played with just the right strength
PS Mc Grogans English Services love you profile pic and hey the next video coming up on the channel will have a similar image! So look out for it especially if you like Krautrock ;-)
Love it how they kick it off again at 4:30: Rythm section only, wide open spaced and building up again: goose bumps and eargasms all over the place. the best drug there is
Totally agree...this part is pure class, its as if they built it up in a box & BOOM opened the lid &let it go again on full power, it is absolute class...what a moment, imagine been there to see it live WOW!!👏👏👏
It's remaining exactly 9 days and there´s still time people !!!!! For those ones who enjoy all the amazing work in each song from this outstanding Band (Including the Joy Division period) I´am hopeful that until April 28th with the dedication and help of you (fans around the world), the amount of votes that are been collected (in each 24 hours a day - is possible to return and vote everyday) on Hall of Fame´s homepage; can make New Order get into the 5 indication positions for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame´s ceremony this year. Let´s share the "word" on your social medias and give our retribution to all great moments that these legends has provided in our lives for everything they represent to the history of world music (specially Rock and Dance). Congratulations New Order for your indication among another 14 bands this year (2023). You guys really deserve it for all effort and work to create, develop and share amazing songs in each album since the starting point. Long life and holpeful that you guys can return/visit my country with a new tour as soon as possible. Best regards from a nostalgic fan from Belo Horizonte City - State of Minas Gerais - Brazil !
The first time they were on Top of the Pops they were told that they had to mime, Hooky said " were not fucking doing it, we play live or we fuck off" lol Great live performance
The spirit of New Order is in this song: nothing more and nothing less.
Totally. Well said.
so it's sad that they didn't played it last year in Prague ... really
So you saying that they don't have better song then this?

Its a banger for sure. Resonate with the frequency of Crystal and Be Happy.
such an adrenaline rush song
Perfect
Perfection !
To me, as someone old enough that I saw Joy Division live, this still seems like a 'new song' ! 😂
Barney’s drunk uncle at a wedding dancing is the shit
Not really. He’s a clown.
@@srimaddukuritakes one to know one
@@pupisfun says you? 😂😂😂
@@srimaddukuriPr1ck 🤡🤡🤡
Not really. It is cool lol
That backup singer is amazing. Adds a subtle yet key ingredient for this entire performance.
Martin Casey Dawn Zee...amazing!
I totally agree. Love her voice!
Amen
She’s black. Not really amazing. She just has soul.
Yup love the background singer.
That bass guitar is insanely cool.
It's not just bass, He is Peter Hook, probably bes bass guitar player on the planet, not to mention that he is a Joy Division himself!!!

My favorite version EVER !!!! Fucking awesome performance with AMAZING backing vocals !!!!
Dawn Zee is rather lovely indeed!
I'd say she is a co vocalist 😍
Check out the glastonbury concert. Also awesome. They open with it
brilliant performance in Hookeys new order book he felt it was their best live TV performance... agreed
Agreed, the energy is right in yer face :)
This song is a masterpiece
This is one of the best Neworder songs of all time! So glad they are back.
I've been watching this song on loop for 2 hours , best song ever . Hypnotic , great riffs , interesting vocals, guitar, piano , just superb.
Me toooooo !
( more like 50 minutes 😉)
Awesome song!
There are just not enough superlatives to describe this utterly majestic performance!!
This performane of "Crystal" is amazing! It's as if they really wanted to prove how powerful of a performance they could pull-off, and the whole band was phenomenal.
Being a fan for 35 years brought me here.
fucking fabulous backing vocals
The lovely Dawn Zee!
Joanne Wilton that'll be Donna sweetheart.
Can’t believe it’s 23 years since this song. I’ll be 77 in another 23 years. Fuck.
This was 23 years ago, but if you go back 23 years from then, i.e. from 2001, then it is 1978, the year Joy Division's debut recording A Ideal For Living was released.
Fooking amazing. So much energy, Stephens drumming is phenomenal and Hookys bass is the coolest thing ever !
Bernard........... I love the crazy way he performs
Decades and he's still as awkward as when they started. love him
One of greatest tracks ever FACT & this is one of greatest live performances ever FACT.
Everything about this is pure class & genius, the backing vocal, the rhythm, the drumming the energy on this one is insane..its going off massive for the whole performance..it gives you goosebumps, the beginning, the outro & that BASS is off the scale of class.Even Bernards screams are spine tingling.

Oh what id give to of been in that studio to see this one.👏👏👏
Couldn't agree more! Perfectly put 👏
I'm no new order fan but I remember seeing this live and being blown away.
Superb synopsis. It is mindblowingly good .
Nope it's not a "fact" that this song is "one of the greatest tracks ever." It's merely an opinion. And guess what else? Calling an opinion a "fact" doesn't change what it really is. It's still just an opinion.
@@ivanjulian2532 Peace & Love ....i just love it!
The last truly stellar New Order moment for me. Bernard and Hooky were amazing together. They need to get over it and themselves.
Totally agree Larry
It’s Bernie that wrecked the band. Always was going back to the late ‘80s as well, and of course, 2000s and 2010s.
Life is too short to be friends for so long and allow it to fade...❤
@@srimaddukuriwere you in the band? I love hooky just as much as the next bloke but there are always two sides to every story mate but in any event New Order 4 lyfe and R.I.P. Rob Gretton
At 5:00 we get to see Bernard's guitar solo ability at it's peak.
Love the way Hooky plays when he bends down like he's got gigantic balls weighing him down. Fave bassist!
Our fav bassist to John, thanks for the comment ;-)
New Order is my all time Favorite band. Just Timeless. Just Perfect.
Charles you nailed it........"Just timeless.........Just Perfect!!!!!" Thanks for the comment
same
WOW what a song and what a band
+clive willis Top
I simply never get tired of this.....hooky is awesome and dawn steals the show...what a great song and performance!
Peter Hook was the beast on base
Seattle and Manchester, two beacons of dark light for a nineties kid that loves rain. It hardly gets better than this, this is New Order at its finest.
New Order at their finest, totally nailed Agneza! Thanks for the comment
Seattle encouraged youth to commit suicide. Manchester never did that. The English have class and sophistication.
Brutal performance. The best
Back again...still loving it......in 2020
The chick steals it. Goddess.
Hook always makes his presence known.
Yessir.
This performance blew my lid off
And ours to ;-)
Jesus ! what a tour de force ! Magnificent performance.
What a stunning version of a superb song. What a performance.
New Order absolutely killing it! That is how it is done!
Dawn's backing vocals bring this song full circle, just amazing!
dawn`s the BEST she`s so absolutely amazing
Full circle, when this record came out I thought this track was a little cheesy, after some time really started to love it, and seeing this performance 20 years later, my god they destroy. Love the aggressive guitars and bass. Legendary.
Bass Guitar ...me sigue volando la puta cabeza.Una joya musical... Atemporal.
Absolutely fucking brilliant! Hooky with the single greatest bass guitar performance ever. Dunno if there's an award but he fucking deserves it! 👌👌👌
Addicted to this music...the guitar, the bass,the drums, the backing vocal...New Order...I love this band
Proof that some bands get even better with age. Those vocals... not lost it one bit. There's something transcendent about this song.
This band has an energy unmatched by any other. There is so much movement on the stage, everybody respect each other's role in the band and in general, you can feel the good vibes they radiate!

Anyone who reckons "this band has an energy unmatched by any other" hasn't seen many bands.
err, barney resented hooky wandering around the stage and trying to grab the limelight, in joy division they never moved just played.
@@ivanjulian2532 Anyone who reckons that this band doesn't have an energy umatched by any other clearly doesn't understand New Order in the first place.
@@neworderfan0532 in your opinion. Clearly you need reminding - opinions aren't facts. So you can stick your opinion where the sun don't shine.
I cant stop watching this
This is superb! Always loved this track, a stand-out from the later N.O. era.
Such a gem of a song.
Noise from heaven.
2019. New Order. The stupendous Dawn Zee. Live. On Jools. What's not to continue to love
How good are they ! I'm always amazed how good a band they are and they can always transport me out of my mostly mundane life to the pure enjoyment of being alive .
1st time i heard it, it was absolutely amazing!!! And this version, a ”couple of years later” uneffingbelievable!!❤️
So much energy in the band and the Guitars, powerful, love it, everyone is moving on stage dancing
Best tv performance ever
One of these rare live performances with New Order when they are nailing it.
One of my favorite sogs of ever.
Us to Paulo
Can‘t stop playing it over and over. Classy song of an outstanding band.
Fantastic. Keep coming back to this. The backing singer is phenomenal.
And keep on coming back Tony x Thanks for the comments and love brother x
That was a fckin great album.
+james donaldson Got the LP
meu Deus......
saudades de meus 18 anos....
como amo essa banda apesar de curtir um som mais pesado...
curti muito.
amo...
Just unbe-fkn-belivable. Whatever generation you belong to, this performance of this amazing song will send shivers down the spine.
Mounted on the drums, a sound that Hannett knew how to give them very Curtisnean lyrics and Hook's beastly bass. Ian would be more than proud
I come back ev ray couple of months to restore my soul.....fuckin brilliant....... and you can tell they are all so engaged....
Still the best song performance on Later…
I wouldn’t have wanted to be the band that had to follow this performance. Magical.
New Order Crystal! Love this song 👋👋👋👋👋
Just a fantastic song I never get sick of hearing it BRILLIANT
Man this was BRILLIANT fan since Joy Division and liked the band followed to New Order seen twice in the early 80's just turned 59 came across this and it has such expertise that it sounds absolutely perfect in every way. So love this session man every instrument was played with just the right strength
This performance is brilliant and ferocious.
still hooked. this will never get old
Probably one of my top 10 bands of all time. Extremely good!!!
Probably one of the best comments of all time ;-) Probably ;-))
PS Mc Grogans English Services love you profile pic and hey the next video coming up on the channel will have a similar image! So look out for it especially if you like Krautrock ;-)
Still Awesome.
Keep it coming...
One word. Wow.
Impresionante...vaya tela
When you boil every New Order song in a cauldron and distil it into a single element you get a CRYSTAL.
Después de no escucharlos mucho tiempo con esta canción volvió mi viejo amor por new order!
best jools performance
One of new orders best songs ever
And the song I've been addicted to it lately!!
The bass is the boss.
Incredible bass on this.
Ecstatic music.
If this was the only song in their discography they would deserve a statue in Manchester.
Love it how they kick it off again at 4:30: Rythm section only, wide open spaced and building up again: goose bumps and eargasms all over the place. the best drug there is

The best !best !best! Fantastic live performance . I'm having this played at my funeral and all the days in between!

Wicked good song to drive to :)
A brilliant song. One of my favorite songs of all time.
God... I´m in trance
🤘
Yup, whenever I hear this. The long album version is best tho, IMHO. ^^♪
Yes, I'm in a trance too.
How can anyone dislike this tune
What a song..what a song
Top class
Great song...
This is stunning music. Amazing.
Goosebumps everytime when the drummer starts!
Thank you so much for posting the full live version. It's amazing.
Keep it coming. Keep it coming.
Guitar heaven!!!!!
Best version ever! And their best song. Wish I could see them playing this one day.
Amazing Bass
That bass carried the sound of Joy Division.
marko galetin An iconic element, but Bernard’s guitar playing particularly his driving rhythm guitar playing is highly underrated.
Very underrated and one of their absolute best ❤
