Drop it!

And it was dropped again tonight!

Drop: BM

Resurrect: EGG

First time I'd even thought of saying it after seeing New Order live over the last fifteen years or so, but if they can rest Regret and Crystal, then it's time to give BM a well earned rest too - I wasn't expecting any more songs when they started playing it at the end of the night on Monday but I took that as a cue to go and use the toilet and beat the rush out of the door rather than staying right to the end - if you haven't seen New Order live before then yes, you should expect to hear Blue Monday but I got the impression the vast majority of the audience had seen them before, and as such, have heard BM before too (and it's not the kind of song you can give a radical reworking to live either)

A voice of reason.

Blue Monday and Waiting For the Sirens' Call currently leading the poll. Unfortunately, Crystal (tied for 3rd) and Age of Consent (tied for 6th) are the only tracks actually being dropped. Do you think it's merely a musical choice, or something technical (i.e., projections)?

Before the Liverpool gig, I would have nominated Crystal for the drop (but my browser won't let me vote for some reason) - I'm now glad I didn't nominate it though.

Also, they've totally reworked Sirens and it sounds brilliant - there's no way it should be dropped.

Looking forward to a live CD a la Troxy & Bestival...

drop crystal for turn the heater on.

I really dislike the live version of "True Faith" they've been doing based on the 94 Perfecto mix. It just drags on way too long and sounds forcefully overblown to me. It would nice to see them drop this particular version in favor of the shorter version they were performing in the 80s.

Curious to see how the set has evolved since last year.

You seem to be on the right track as Bernard mentioned in an interview recently that they'd rehearsed Academic and Superheated...

As crystal allows for me and bernard to have a deep heartfelt one-sided conversation ( he never hears my reply,"yes Mr sumner, or what is it barny?" to his concerned 'keep it coming') it is ok to stop it . It is my opinion that they play a festival such as glastonbury , and as the only band invited and playing they play all our personal faves, everything we want to hear,such as a 15 minute dream attack, turn the heater on, recoil, draculas castle, etc, etc,etc,and film it record it sell it, plus an added disc with outtakes, directors cut ,features such as bernard and iggy and brandon and Steven singing the dwarves song from hobbit 1

Drop Atmosphere and Blue Fucking Monday. Add I Will Survive with Melanie C on vocals.

At this point it's serious. I am genuinely worried for Keepitcoming's sanity. eating a munchie monkey with bernard and gilliane good yes but fire in my thighs i would want too late factory years in barnsley not pineapple face though swarms of health enter stephen, the large soul of green but that was tomorrow tomorrow peter hook is fine and gone but here crystal face up pineapples, ian wouldn't agree.

What luck!!, as I was listening to the comedian in the jacket posted by fotzepolitic, a live version of academic appeared , so FZP, thanks mucho

Even Liz Fraser in her prime fruitcake lyrics made more sense than you.

Still , good entertainment and what a boring world it would be if everything made sense.

As new order continues to make more music , sense and sensibility turn into mania and marvel. What a wonderful world it is with new order.

don't actually want them to 'drop' anything but just.. rotate the set a bit more.

Think of the songs they've only played occasionally - or dropped recently - before never playing them again ..

Since 2011 alone, this has included Thieves Like Us, TBHOG, Round & Round, Californian Grass, Love Vigilantes, Here To Stay, I'll Stay With You, 1963, Heart & Soul.

It would be quite pleasant if say two of these songs were rotated every five nights so we'd get some variation, as opposed to the same 16 songs in the same order 16 shows in a row.
