This is a review i got from Jane Petra
*************************************************
New Order headlined last night [Friday 18th]'s Big Day Out festival in Auckland, New Zealand. They were billed to play at 8:15pm, as the third-to-last band on the Main Stage of the annual 12-hour music festival.
However, security problems earlier in the evening put the schedule out of order and delayed New Order's set by some 3 hours.

The band were in high spirits despite the delays, joking amongst themselves and poking fun at the 'new guy'. Then again, they weren't the ones who suffered through an hour of The Prodigy. Sumner apologised for the heavy [even for Auckland] rain, quipping that they'd brought the foul weather with them from England.

The set list was very similar to the European tour one listed on your site:
'Crystal', 'Transmission' and '60MPH', then mostly 80s singles ['True Faith' was given a House styled re-working, which worked very nicely] and a couple more Joy Division songs. Finished, of course, with a ferocious Blue Monday.
