From Chris Long (BBC Manchester Online)

From the dreamy opening of Crystal to the fading chords of Blue Monday, it is safe to say that New Order are enjoying their music again.

The clues? Bernard Sumner's strange little dance that accompanied nearly every tune (complete with yelps and whistles), Peter Hook's striding around the stage with a massive grin on his face, and the production of a melodica (yes, that's one of those keyboards you blow through to make noise as a kid) for the tune Your Silent Face.

The tense expectation that met the band's entrance simply melted when they made Transmission their second track. Simply, it was one of the most intensely emotional moments of any concert I have attended.

With so many thirtysomething blokes in the crowd, the raw emotion was both stunning and moving, and anyone who didn't have at least the thought of a tear in their eye simply has no heart.

It wasn't the only throwback to the Joy Division days. A bulging, heartbreakingly fantastic Atmosphere closed the set and, strangely, Love Will Tear Us Apart changed from a brooding piece of melancholy into the most uplifting tune of the night.

This wasn't a greatest hits concert though, and the new tracks Crystal, Rock The Shack, Slow Jam and in particular, 60 Miles An Hour stood up well next to the classics (the fans who sat the newies out only to stand again for the more well known tracks should be ashamed of themselves).

Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris (and Gillian Gilbert, unexpectedly popping on stage for the final tune, Blue Monday) form a band back where they should be, making fantastic tunes, enjoying playing music, laughing, joking, and being possibly the best band this city has ever produced.

Verdict: Touched by the Hand of God!
