Ive never been to a New Order concert, the only time Ive seen live footage is on 3 16 and 5 11.

The setlists for these shows concentrate mostly on more rocky songs, so Steve only plays keyboards on 2 or three songs. As such, his keyboards are located on his drum platform, and at the Reading Festival, behind his drums, sp he actually plays synths with his back to the audience, which annoys me for some reason.

My question is, back in the old days, in the 80s, when New Order played a lot more of thier dancier, more electronic songs, where onstage where Steve's synths set up, and what songs did he play synths on? Did he play keyboards on Confusion, Shellshock, Subculture, Fine Time, Ruined In a Day, ect?

Its a bit of a trainspottery question, I know. But stage set ups for bands have always fascinated me.

They all play a bit of everything,except i dont think Steve can play guitar?. Its mostly programmed in the studio then when their live he drums mainly. He does get behind the keys on Perfect Kiss though.
