'Holy grail' recording surfaces of New Order's scorching '83 gig at Chicago's Cabaret Metro

The concert, New Order's first in Chicago, has become the stuff of legend: At the end of a scorching late-June day in 1983, the band takes the stage at the Cabaret Metro, where a packed crowd drives the on-stage temperature to nearly unbearable heights, knocking out power on-stage mid-set.

I was there that same night. For all of the shows I attended at Blossom, this one was the very loudest under the roof. First time I saw Bjork live, too (performing with the Sugar Cubes). PiL, Sugar Cubes, New Order. Not a bad show for $15.00.
