singles going steady

So why didn't NO play 'Here to Stay' at any of their (admittedly very few) live shows since the release of the single? And were there any other singles that the band has put out that they waited a long time (or perhaps forever) before playing?

Maybe Phil could only learn so much before gigging??

Programming issues??

More more damn song and the Pernod will spoil??

Well, Phil seemed to mime HTS pretty well.

Our source close to the band told us before the Paris show that it was one of those that had been programmed and rehearsed, so we fully expected it to be part of the 2002 set. Only the band themselves will know why it wasn't !

Guess it wasnt "Here to stay" after all then?

cause its shite - compared with anything off get ready (bar 3), or anything off their big wide unused back catalouge?

Originally posted by Al Jarvis Me and JG spoke to Roger Lyons after the Paris Zenith and he said it was programmed, but (from memory) I don't think they'd rehearsed it for said gig?! Er, guess they just didn't bother rehearsing it for any of the others either?!

Being rehearsed is not an excuse. Saw Snow patrol recently, and someone kept calling for How To Be Dead. Gary Lightbody tried on more than one occasion to get out of it by saying that they "didn't know how to play it properly". Eventually the guy in the audience wore them down and they played it. OK so it was a bit ropey and he forgot the some of words, but the crowd were putty in their hands after that.

*Oh, come fookin on! One of their best electronic songs ever, at the level of Vanishing Point and True Faith... that powerful beginning is amazing... great verse, great chorus, should have been a massive hit. Didn't get it completely the first time I heard it, but it did grow a lot and I finally recognized its giant status... also, perfect track for 24 Hours Party People (it's so epic).

I'd put here to stay in my top 10 fave new order songs

definitely love this track...and would have liked to have heard it live. though, i'm not sure how "live" it would have been. maybe next time...

The singing maybe.

so you compare vanishing point to here to stay, and IM nuts?

sorry. ive listened to it a few times, and it doesnt even touch anything off technique, low life, brotherhood, pcl .

one of those "aggree to disagree" moments!

So this is not about the Buzzcocks then ? Shame.

Hello and welcome Recife Batty Boyz, what is the collective height of new order in Hostile post counts ?

About 3 I'd say.

what if you add all the posts from the aliases together?

Still about 3 !

for me, here to stay made up for some of the short-comings of Get Ready. it revitalized me...

Never played Spooky live either. That would be kinda neat though. Especially if they tried one of the remixes.

Here to Stay would be a nice opener for the next batch of concerts. I wouldn't mind them opening up with something new either.

Well, I'm not missing it.

I wouldn't mind seeing them do any concerts, especially here stateside, but before that happens, I'll be Hooky's age

i forgot why, but i simply couldn't go. besides, i was foolish enough to think that they were going to pick back up and do some touring of the ol' USofA. boy, do i feel stupid.

I was living on the East Coast 2000-2001 (Charleston, SC), and timed my move back to California to coincide with Area One at the Shoreline Amphitheatre.

nice move!
