Love seeing Auther Baker takin the mixed reel to Jellybean Benitez and seeing The NYC Latin Freestyle Hip Hop culture dancing away! Video captured that 1980’s moment in time! Dope!
The best dance floor in NYC. I went to the Fun House every Saturday, 3 yrs in a row ' 82 to '85. Home of Jellybean Benitez, 92 KTU, The Webbo dance... I danced with Mr. T, James Brown. The Halloween party was legendary. The best bands, and oh, those lights !!! Best times.
I was there too those years every Saturday and one Friday I went to see Xena “On the Upside”. George Kranz New Year’s Eve. Planet patrol Halloween what great times. I watch this video often. I wish I would have bought cameras back then. I barely had money for the donut shop
One of the many reasons why I love New Order is the fact that they somehow embraced the early stages of NY hip hop culture by working with Arthur Baker and John Robie, who brought "Planet Rock" with Afrika Bambaataa.
True story, while Bernard was out of the studio one time, Hooky was trying some vocals on a track and Bernard walked in and freaked out. Said he hates it and from that moment on Bernard always did his own backing vocals.
In the beginning of the video, it was shot on Liberty Ave in Richmond Hills, Queens, NYC. You can see the old Lefferts movie theater which is gone today. Also the Pizza shop they used was on 126st and Liberty Ave.
Such an amazing video. It captures NYC in the 80's and also a British band visiting for the first time. Some of the last shots, it looks like Sumner's mind is pretty much blown...
This definitely wasn't their first visit to NYC, which was in 1981. This probably wasn't even their first visit to the Funhouse. They do look like tourists though, or aliens observing another lifeform and its rituals and customs.
@@bennyshambles Yes 3 years have now passed from my initial comment and I did learn that the very new New Order came to the US in 1981, and there are in fact videos that document this.
One of the few times Guidos, Brothers and Latinos rocked under one roof. A rare glimpse into The Fun House w Jellybean Benitez on the decks till almost Noon the next day. Later turned into Hearthrobs w Little Louie Vega. The bassbins were so big you can sleep in them.
What a time and place to be young again! 80s NYC! Funhouse, Paradise Garage, Danceteria! Well jealous of those lucky enough to experience it. Luckily the most important part lives on for everyone to dance to…
I turned 52 years old this year. ... This song was introduced to me by my HS dj. It reminds me of the past music and disco era. And I still listen to it today. Although I disregard the message the group may have portrayed about it when it was first released on the original album.
New Order, Arthur Baker, Jellybean Benitez, Funhouse, pizza shop, bombed subways, iron-on crew t-shirts. The last shot of the band just watching the girl dance, they become the audience. This is the best. What's particularly crazy is that this is just a few years after Closer. Imagine if Ian Curtis had still been alive...
Too much to convey really, but for instance the band didn't get to the club to shoot their scenes until 7:30am in the morning. The club was still rocking... Get the book. It is great. Chapter And Verse.
The story is simply that the band scheduled a video shoot in the club for the height of the dancing, planning to arrive around 1 am or so, but after a few misadventures and partying, the video crew and band showed up at 7am. By that time the club was still rockin' and waiting still for New Order. But no one was upset and the filming when on as planned (really just them being there watching). I was amazed at a six hour delay but I guess that is Rock and Roll.
+David Garvin haha that explains why it's light out when they arrived at the club! I always thought it looked like they got there early although that would not make sense. Oh man NYC in the big club heyday - Limelight, Tunnel, Twilo, Club USA! The stories. Amazing I made it out alive and now live in comfortably in the burbs.
Really cool early new order song, love this period when the band were just beginning to experiment with synthesizers and drum machines (and when Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner got along haha)
Love how this video incorporated the story of the band (New Order) and a side story! Love the early 80s in NYC as New order sought a new identity!! Who would have thought that they would find it here where they were scheduled to come with Ian as Joy Division. Ironic!
These are my local boys. I was a hacienda kid, started going in the greatest night club ever when I was 16. New order of course owned it. The first time I heard confusion, it was almost like hearing 'looking for the perfect beat' with a few Mancunian lads doing their thing over it.. Absolute iconic tune for me. Jeeez they, and myself were so goddam young once...🤣🤘😎
I went to clubs in NYC and London in the early 80's. Both cities were amazing in music and will always love London. But, NYC had more of a variety and the huge dance clubs in NYC were amazing. I think Dance Music and HI-NRG Music were bigger in NYC and New Wave and Synth-Pop were bigger in London. Althoug NYC had it all
We truly had a melting pot in the 80s... hip hop, new wave, disco/house, black white latin were all having a good time and influencing each other's culture.
...I remember this, when it came out; and thought of this, in my all morning....Been decades, but my want and need; is awoken, like a 1980's, NYC train token............
I’m currently reading Peter Hook’s memoir, “Substance”. It’s hilarious just like “Unknown Pleasures”. It tells the story of the making of this video and how he was juggling two groupies at the time, as well as Ruth Polsky who was a well-known club promoter in NY. The heavyset bearded guy is music producer Arthur Baker who produced this track as well as Thieves Like Us and other NO tracks. The stories in the book are “mega” as Hooky puts it.
+Dave Marin It was the Fun House, as you can see on the jackets of Security in the video. Maybe it was the same space? Not to contradict you, not to be rude. :) Paradise Garage, legendary. Before my time! I love this video for how it evokes that great gritty fun NYC in the clubs.
+Arundel Mercure of course you are correct. I am old enough - I was too many nights at Fun House and Paradise Garage - both great places. The indoor club scenes are Fun House.
+Arundel Mercure The scene on the ramp with the lights up the side at 1:49 is Paradise Garage. The scene with Arthur Baker in the club playing the record IS the Fun House. Two different scenes in the video; two different clubs in NYC. For some reason that's the way they edited the video.
LOL, this was a favorite of mine in 1983 and in 1984 their hit Blue Monday, then fast forward to 1998 and the movie BLADE's opening Night Club Scene Song Confusion was the sole reason I bought that soundtrack and becomes my favorite song of the year, little did I know that it was a Remix of their 1983 hit which I loved 15 years prior
So cool to see the great Arthur Baker & even a sneak peek of the loveable rogue Rob Gretton (RIP), New Order (& Joy Division) manager & the major impetus behind The Haçienda. Oh, how he would be lovely the performance of Manchester City/'Citeh' nowadays too & gutted by the acrimonious split between New Order & Hooky - btw, this os one of the ONLY times that you will see Hooky's hair the same (short) length as Barney's!!
Im not sure what to say rigth. But i problaly gonna say that i discovered you by blue Monday. But i didnt confusion. Is my favorit nummer. Great greatings from Denmark Jimbo 👍
can't believe Arthur Baker (long haired producer featured throughout the clip) is only 28 in this video. He was born in April 1955, and this video was released in August 1983.
MTV FLASHBAck May 3, 1984 in the early hours around 3-6 am est ( 2 hour uncut block of a 6 hour tape ) this played... I dont recall this as i was ending my Junior Year of High School
I was watching style wars and a bboy group called the dynamic rockers was Battling against rock steady crew when I first realized this type of music… bad ass!!!!
When you hear New Orders Shellshock and C banks One more shot. Same song different arrangements. Both created by John Robie. You can appreciate what a musical genius he is!
I better elaborate. Many want to know where I am coming from. The Fun House was packed. I didn't even know all the boroughs back then, or why they said that about the roof. It got everyone pumped, as people repeated it and yelled back to the DJ. Plus, when I heard this song, I thought they said something like Confucius. I don't think I saw New Order perform in the Fun House, but I am pretty sure I heard this song a few times. I was to busy dancing anyway. The flow of sounds and voices made the atmosphere. A word can bring back a time. The world had many greats in that grand time in Confucius day around 2,500 years ago. Biblical prophets, Zerazusthra, Buddha, etc... That grand time was brought into this cool song. I found out yesterday that Confucius's real name was Kong Qiu. His birthday came out on Yom Kippur yesterday. I thought to look up this song on you tube, because I was reminded of it by his name. This morning I found this video on You Tube. I learned New Order sang this song and they said Confusion. Well I was in that time and place with a lot of you about 40 years ago. Kong Qiu was there in a way, as that era came to the present in this song. We all meet here in this time on this incredible technology. Life is in the "try life zone". Aka, the undisputed art champion of the world.

I'm god damned gobsmacked that this awesome shit WASNT THE INTRO SONG! It woulda been very badass with Traci Lords and Donal logue being all rabid lol
Lol!
Love seeing Auther Baker takin the mixed reel to Jellybean Benitez and seeing The NYC Latin Freestyle
Hip Hop culture dancing away! Video captured that 1980’s moment in time! Dope!
This a time capsule that needs to be stored at the library of congress. So much captured in a short video and well done at that.
British synth tunes in retro New York is too cool for an ice box in Siberia. Always loved this video.
The best dance floor in NYC. I went to the Fun House every Saturday, 3 yrs in a row ' 82 to '85. Home of Jellybean Benitez, 92 KTU, The Webbo dance... I danced with Mr. T, James Brown. The Halloween party was legendary. The best bands, and oh, those lights !!! Best times.
man , you are so lucky!
Wow, I'm jealous! Sounds like crazy amazing memories!
Im jealous AF music is wack now.
I remember the energy, it was beautiful, I would dance all night long, it was a drug in itself!! Can you even find a dance club anymore?
I was there too those years every Saturday and one Friday I went to see Xena “On the Upside”. George Kranz New Year’s Eve. Planet patrol Halloween what great times. I watch this video often. I wish I would have bought cameras back then. I barely had money for the donut shop
Such an amazing, beautiful, absolutely stunning piece of dance floor magic. I love this record so much.
David J Sullivan have you heard the pump panel reconstruction remix highly recommend it
One of the many reasons why I love New Order is the fact that they somehow embraced the early stages of NY hip hop culture by working with Arthur Baker and John Robie, who brought "Planet Rock" with Afrika Bambaataa.
Baker let them use his Roland 808, which still had all the stuff he programmed for "Planet Rock" and "Looking for the Perfect Beat" saved in it.
julloa yes! Similar to how happy mondays were early to embrace the rhythmic elements of early house
Perfect assessment. I was just thinking and posted on here how this song is almost an 80’s hip hop song
@@hippriest9448 Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches is such a great record!
Wow really? I had no idea. :)
I love the combination of Bernard and Hooky's voices in this masterpiece, they should have done this more often.
I'm sure they shared vocals live, but I'd swear that's Sumner singing both the high and low parts.
True story, while Bernard was out of the studio one time, Hooky was trying some vocals on a track and Bernard walked in and freaked out. Said he hates it and from that moment on Bernard always did his own backing vocals.
@@ridethelakes You realize Hook sings Dreams Never End right?
@@dcrl2466this happened after movement, confusion came out after movement
Surely I can't be the only person who thinks the vocals in this sound absolutely awful. Tuneless warbling.
In the beginning of the video, it was shot on Liberty Ave in Richmond Hills, Queens, NYC. You can see the old Lefferts movie theater which is gone today. Also the Pizza shop they used was on 126st and Liberty Ave.
Wait-- that's now Tex’s Chicken & Burgers?
...That's my neighborhood, then, now, and hopefully latter.....Things were smoking, oozing, and flipping; way back when......
Arthur Baker,love you,pure New Order.thanks so much.
Pure genius.
Such an amazing video. It captures NYC in the 80's and also a British band visiting for the first time. Some of the last shots, it looks like Sumner's mind is pretty much blown...
This definitely wasn't their first visit to NYC, which was in 1981. This probably wasn't even their first visit to the Funhouse. They do look like tourists though, or aliens observing another lifeform and its rituals and customs.
@@bennyshambles Yes 3 years have now passed from my initial comment and I did learn that the very new New Order came to the US in 1981, and there are in fact videos that document this.
You would be also if you visited the earth's anus.
Peter Hook's book is a must read and a fun read
Straight up slices from da pizza parlor, so NY
…the video compliments the track well. Captures the mood and the times.
One of the few times Guidos, Brothers and Latinos rocked under one roof. A rare glimpse into The Fun House w Jellybean Benitez on the decks till almost Noon the next day. Later turned into Hearthrobs w Little Louie Vega. The bassbins were so big you can sleep in them.
What are Guidos?
Why arent there more videos of FH and Paradise Garage 😔
@@ElPolloLocoFan1994 Guido's are Italian Men
the stock footage of NYC is priceless. Hope someone still has the outtakes.
gabriel tolliver Any 80s NYC footage looks cool... grimy but full of character.
Definitely a rare glimpse.. hopefully someday they post a better resolution clip of this video.
@@norakat Your dream came true!

What a time and place to be young again! 80s NYC! Funhouse, Paradise Garage, Danceteria! Well jealous of those lucky enough to experience it. Luckily the most important part lives on for everyone to dance to…
NYC in the 80s. Awesome.
and for the 70's, watch Taxi Driver! ;)

But it wasn’t on an original album… unless you mean the compilation “Substance “ in 1987…What did they say about it?
Greatest of times. NYC. 1980s

Going from a Pizza slinger to a hip hop club dancer....gotta love NYC in the 80s
Confusion defined - British goth band now techno in NYC doing Latino beats, simply pioneering!
Confusion defined - Post punk / New Wave band discover nightclubs and recruit Arthur Baker to do an Electro/Freestyle record.
My life in 1983 perfectly captured by New Order
Beautiful place before diversity showed up
Really cool early new order song, love this period when the band were just beginning to experiment with synthesizers and drum machines (and when Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner got along haha)
I don't think Hooky and Bernie ever got along, lol.

I played this song so many times when I was growing up.
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
Paul Lam have you heard the pump panel reconstruction remix version of this very song
same
I remember the energy, it was beautiful, I would dance all night long, it was a drug in itself!!
How sweet is it to have a producer go into a club and bring a mix to play for the DJ…Arthur Baker ya legend!
The DJ is Jellybean Benitez, Madonna's boyfriend at the time.
Best times of my life and this song was a big part of it!👍🏻
Man I miss the 80s

808 programming for the win
This video has really held up well over the years, unlike some music videos from the same period. IDK who directed this, but it's quality.
so freaking groovy, i love this song, encapsulates the time
Walking out of paradise garage 1:50!! Awsome
Jesus Christ!!!Can dance get any better then this.Genius!!!!
Love this song.
One of the best bands of the '80's

what a tune !!!! and video !!! genius !!!
One of my favorite 80's videos. They were having fun at the Clown House looks like NYC or eastern City.
A absolute monster of a track unbelievable!!!
To the younger generations, those were beats, real beats from back in the days. God I miss those years, I am 52 now.
52 next week and those were great times . Great memories!
You know people still use drum machines, right? This track was recorded with a Roland TR-808 drum machine.
The tr 808 drum sound will live on forever in software and hardware
ok boomer
La música no tiene fronteras ni raza,en la pista todos somos uno!!👌😉
A Masterpiece
Arthur Baker and that 808!
love this. WHY CAN'T WE GO BACK TO THESE TIMES?

I'd love to go back to 1977-1987 in NYC as an adult. Greatest time period! Screw the 60s And San francisco.

I like that Arthur Baker stars in this video.
Wow Rhino, thanks for posting. Rare glimpse into the past.
I loveee New Order!
I never associated this song with pizza, but after watching this video, I guess I'll have to.
This is like a punk response to Saturday Night Fever.
cfcreative1 this is like a punk group do some electro old school hip hop! =) just check out cybotron, afrikaa bambaataa or nucleus =)
cfcreative1 by Jove, I think you've got it!
first house music video ever played on Mtv
filmed at the legendary Funhouse disco
That's a neat description of it.
Don't touch my hair!
HIP HOP before Hip Hop..I was there..Washington Heights...Bronx..Latino and Black AND white kids Break Dancing to this...1979 to 1985..I was there!
What are you talking about? This doesn't sound like rap at all. Rap existed in a clear form all the way back in the late 70s.
I believe that scene on the ramp at 1:49 is the Paradise Garage where New Order played 7/7/83
Dave Marin excellent memory of a happy time and place

Arundel Mercure no. The entrance to the garage was shown. Then cuts to the Funhouse.
Arthur Baker is The Godfather of beats!
Ah, the 80's. The smell of Rush, cheap hair spray, and WOW, we wore REALLY bad clothes. But the tunes were bangin'. This takes me BACK.
You mean Rush... as in Poppers???
Maybe you had the bad clothes. Maybe you was one of the Kick Dancers w the short sleeve ! 😆 I had the fly gear speak for yourself.
I tell you, try looking at the bad clothes in today's era. At least the bad clothes in 80s had character.
An oft overlooked masterpiece
Speaking of confusion...how the fuck did this become a vampire slaying intro of sheer epicness??
One of the best Ever !!!
WOW only just noticed the Paradise Garage ramp scene after seeing this video dozens of times!
LOL, this was a favorite of mine in 1983 and in 1984 their hit Blue Monday, then fast forward to 1998 and the movie BLADE's opening Night Club Scene Song Confusion was the sole reason I bought that soundtrack and becomes my favorite song of the year, little did I know that it was a Remix of their 1983 hit which I loved 15 years prior

Im not sure what to say rigth. But i problaly gonna say that i discovered you by blue Monday. But i didnt confusion. Is my favorit nummer. Great greatings from Denmark Jimbo 👍
An that's the beauty of the remix folks, anything can be derived from anything. Im presuming the modulated bassline turned 303....
On really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion.
can't believe Arthur Baker (long haired producer featured throughout the clip) is only 28 in this video.
He was born in April 1955, and this video was released in August 1983.
He's only few years older than Jellybean Benitez
*C O N F U S I O N !!!*
I was confused when watching the vid for the first time and seeing barney playing hooky's bass haha
New Orders Hip Hop moment.

The follow up to Blue Monday which was ironically on its way back up the charts at the time when this one was there back in 1983.
In this song, the Roland TR-808 was heard.
