Wow. A charged, fantastic performance of this underrated song. And Barney playing through his old Vox AC30 and exorcising spirits through that guitar. Best band ever to me.

[landanengland]

Absolutely one of their best. The power and venom are contagious. That moody Joy Div style downer start from Gillian on the keyboard into Hooky's best bass riff with Bernard's snarling guitar. That strat sound is perfect for this and then there's Stephen's thundering metronomic drums: what a hero that guy is... I love this. Hooky's playing is superb throughout.

One of their most underrated songs to date, my favourite off low life

[wesleyjoe]

One of NO's best songs. I wish they'd revive it for their current tours. Bernard's guitar is white hot, Hooky's bass is powerful, Steve's drumming is ferocious, and Gillian's synths are ominous. Thanks for this video! Let's see it live again!!

bernard throwing his guitar what badass

[JohnWick-jvvr]

Hooky went off as usual, legend, I love Barney’s unique melancholy vocals and guitar

I was at the gig and it was a bit subdued before this song. But as soon as the intro to Sunrise càme in people went crazy and rushed to the front. It was a song everyone loved. It was so crowded i had to stay at the back so can’t see my 19 year old self on then then unimagined youtube. The quality is good because it was being filmed for TV.

One of Manchester (and Salfords) finest bands of all time rip Tony Wilson and Rob Gretten

Greatest New Order performance of a class song.

[klausrain]

Always love Barney's guitar playing.

[scaffman]

Stephen Morris is a fucking machine!!!

[myheartisinjapan]

Could not love this song more. My favorite NEW ORDER for sure. This performance is so raw. Quintessential NO.

A few thoughts.
1. Great video! Great performance! So much energy! (Yes, that’s one thought)
2. Bernard throwing the guitar is so punk. And the tech scrambling to get it ready just in time for the next riff. That’s awesome!
3. Final and possibly most important thought… New Order performing at the Haçienda. Most bands get paid for gigs like that. New Order PAID buckets of £ to play there. Hopefully they’re now recouping what they should’ve been paid for the gig.

Hooky's "Hot 1" bass is screaming. LOVE this.

[RR-mbke]

Nothing else sounds like this. Incredible

[butchdixon]

New Order were so fucking cool in 1985! Bernard has never played better guitar before or since. They must have had excellent drugs that night.

I've always wondered how Stephen keeps it up for a whole concert. I'd be finished after this number.

My second favorite New Order song (True Faith #1) from my favorite New Order album Low Life. Remember them this way.

One of most sorely missed venues in music history
