"The 40th Anniversary Concert
On 23rd October 1980 New Model Army played their first gig; it has been a wonderful, long, creative and eventful forty-year journey!
We had planned a lot of things to mark our 40th birthday, most of which have necessarily been postponed into next year, but by way of celebration we will be doing a one-off concert on the 24th October 8pm (GMT) this year, which will be performed live and be broadcast online simultaneously around the world – a shared experience for everyone who has ever loved the band.
The concert will be a high-quality, pay-to-view, two-hour (plus) event filmed with multi-cameras, graphics and artwork - with the band playing a wide range of material spanning the 40 years. We will be selling tickets at £10 for which you will be sent an exclusive code to access the broadcast in the hours before the show. There will also be the opportunity to buy an ‘enhanced ticket’ which will include an exclusive Joolz-designed T-shirt to mark the occasion – these will be available in different sizes, up to four shirts per ticket – as we know (and hope) that people will watch in family groups.
Tickets are available from https://shop.newmodelarmy.org/other-stuff/product/1302-online-concert-ticket
We hope you will join us."

Hearing this wonderful news has completely lifted my spirits! I really, really needed this, today especially. Thank you SO very much Mr. Savage/NMA/JS. I wouldn't miss it for the world! I'll be there, for sure! SO excited, can hardly wait! :D :D :D :D :D

Greetings Mr. Savage,
I'm terribly confused, completely lost in the shop at the moment. I want to order a ticket for the gig, but 4 t-shirts are accompanying the ticket I put in my basket. Why is it doing that? Are there 4 different t-shirts to choose from, or something like that? Please clarify? ???
-
just tried booking a ticket and the checkout is asking for £14.55 postage charge.
Can you let me know if there is a problem or have I not unticked a box somewhere?
-
The way I bought just the ticket was to add to basket, then press the "x" next to each of the T Shirts until there was only the concert ticket remaining. That way it's £10 all in.
-
Oh excellent. I think we all - including the band need this.
Placed me order, in what way do we get the exclusive code, is it the order number ?

Thanks, now I am a bit more awake have sorted it.

On what web site will the gig be hosted, will it be streamed from the main nma page.
-
There will be more details for this show over the coming weeks or so :-)

Ok thanks

Is there any chance of a DVD release for old duffers like me ? ?...
-
I'd be surprised if they wouldn't have it on a DVD at some point... Anniversary, weird times and all :)
I'm also a bit ''technologically challenged'' - no internet at home, my speakers are crap and headphones broke ;D
So, currently conspiring to throw a party at my friend's home... He just doesn't know it yet :)
-
Let'a hope so..........and i hope your friend enjoys his party.. ;D..

Cheers for the help / tip, fiddlesticks! I'm going to give it another go! :D

Mr. Savage,
I can't get into the shop. Have been trying to reset my password, but system keeps booting me out. This is the message I keep getting:
"Your password reset confirmation failed because the verification code was invalid. User not found."
Also, why isn't Blackballed's latest release "Elephant In The Room" available in the online shop? I need a proper copy, I want a proper copy. Let me know what's up with that too, please.
Please advise / help?
Thanks.

Ummm, ok... :-\ but it'll just be word for word what I just posted here. Stand by. It's comin'.

Just bought mine. It chucked 4 t-shirts in the basket automatically which I whittled down. Im guessing its for the watching with family aspect.
I can at least watch without some fool yakking over it. Just need cardboard cut outs of Shush, Master Ray et al for the concert experience ;D

Yeah, :-\ I'm still having shit luck getting into the shop. :( I can't figure out where it is, exactly, that I'm screwing up. :-[

Ohhh, Bunny, man, the NO (crowd) talking is going to be my favourite part! As members of the audience, we'll be able to focus and hear so much clearer, better. Especially during those silver and gold moments of spoken words between the songs, coming from Mr. Sullivan himself... well, that is, if the gentleman feels the desire, urge, want or need, to utter anything further, to any or each of us. I seriously love those moments. For me, they matter just as much as the music and songs, themselves, do. They are just as beautiful, bright, treasured, meaningful, important, special, sacred. They add hidden sparkle and warmth to every single NMA/JS/RSC gig. Just wish tapers would keep those bits in when uploading clips to YouTube an the like. They are ice breakers, ice breaking moments, that set the mood, pace, vibe, gist, essence of a gig. Well, I certainly believe so, at any rate.
Even though, in very many ways, it won't be anything at all like a real, true, physical NMA gig, it'll still be powerful, blinding, superb! For me, I just have this gut feeling that it's going to feel as though we'll be watching them as they might be, when they rehearse or record together. That's going to be absolutely thrilling to witness. I can't articulate what I'm trying to say here properly - and without me being or coming off sounding salacious - this particular NMA gig will definitely feel much more raw, naked, heavy, profound, stripped... even though they'll all be plugged in, electric. I just hope that all 5 of them; JS, MD, DW, MG & CM will be able to still feel the profound love and intense energy coming through the wires from those of us who'll be virtually attending this most special 2020 NMA gig. I know it'll be so, for me... it always is. Love 'em.
Just need cardboard cut outs of Shush, Master Ray et al for the concert experience. ;D
lol, that's too funny Bunny! ;D I like the thought of that. Thanks for the chuckle Bunny... I really needed a good one today. :)

We will be with you in spirit old lad :)

Less of the ol....hmm ok. I'll give you that one ;)

20 years ago I had my party alone with watching the stream on a shabby computer ...
But thanks to NMA with helping their fans posting how to watch it (and some hints how to download the stream while watching or to download it later) ;)
Not sure, today I know enough to download the stream again at the same time I watch it on my tv (connected as a monitor with my notebook) ...
Happy as much as I was long time ag to be part of the audience of this special gig :) :) :)
-
I'm really looking forward to this! At least a date in the near future to look forward too.
I think it will be a lonesome party for me, alone in my living room, and i also have to figure out how to watch this with my equipment. If it were a youtube stream i could listen to it with my stereo and watch it on my screen, but i think they will use another platform, so i guess i'll have to figure out how to connect my laptop with the stereo and hope there will be no lag in sound and image then. I will need space to dance, i will be loud and celebrating, kind of already fearing to get carried away and disturb the neighbours..;-)
But i'm also used to dance and sing on my own in my room..i have these moments when i need to move my body to the music.
I think it would be cool to have some friends to watch together, but in this case i wouldn't want anybody there who is not really into it. When i go to concerts, most of the people i know who come with me are more curious and kind of like the band, but they don't love them and we always split before the show and meet afterwards. So i don't think i will invite those.
How are you thinking you're going to celebrate this?
Have you plans for a bigger meeting?
Will you make room in front of the tv to build towers and have a moshpit going?
Will you take of your shirt?
;-)

I'm having the same problem as 8, Viv. I've sent you an email.
Looking forward to October 24.

Just playing with thoughts here...
I'm trying to imagine how this special event will play out. A long awaited concert, streamed live, everybody in their homes watching it. Because we cannot meet, because there is this "thing" (The Thing;-) going on...
So i pictured myself enjoying the moment, being moved by the music, dancing on my own..
So how about we all take our damned, brainfckn, concentration disturbing mobiles and film a short clip of ourselves watching the stream... 8)
And later they can intercut it in the recording..
I would propose everybody is doing it while vagabonds (if it is on the setlist)
Or we could "fake " it. Why not? Everything is fake..aaarghhhh...so what i mean is, we let some video or live recording play in our homes and do it like it was the live-stream and sing and dance to vagabonds. the we send thousands of minutes of recording to nma and they can intercut it while the stream is playing...
8)
Or dear, i do so miss a gathering, dancing, singing, body on body with top-naked sweaty people...
-
Glad you clarified that with top naked. i'd wondered where I'd been missing out :-\ ;D
