Right, we know that there are going to be live dates accompanying the album and singles. They may be thinking of resurrecting an old New Order song to play at these gigs, we don't know. In any case, they will be rehearsing soon.

This is a perfect opportunity to sow the seeds of an idea for them to resurrect an oldie (no not you Rocket ;)) - gives them plenty of time to sort any programming that may need doing, and plenty of time to feed the autocue machine.

We know that content from here finds its way to the band via a variety of routes - what harm can it do to start a campaign for an old song?

Im hopeing For Procession, i hope they do it.....

I chose 586. I think it would sound pretty cool if they did a version like in the Peel Sessions with that wicked bass. However, I do like the instrumentals near the end of the PCL version. I dunno, I would be interested to hear what it would sound like today if they played it in the encore or something. It has great lyrics still.

Round & Round :)

They have said that they want to play more crowd jump up stuff, so this is perfect!

I have to say though that despite starting this poll, I would prefer it if they did a complete set of new songs, and came back out for Ceremony and Temptation. No JD stuff, just pure new New Order.

EGG I think Phil could handle the electronics. Great jammin bastard of a song. Since there is a great possibility that I will get to see them I would hope for TPK but I think that song is beyond their grasp without Gillian and 300 hours of programming.

Anyone could play those three chords! All Gillian did apart from that was trigger the sequences, and Spike could do that!

Yep, AOC for me as well. No programming needed there, right? But if "Face Up" had been in the list....

100% AOC

"other(specify)", that should've done the trick for Face Up:D

This Time of Night, but the "advanced" electronics involved might be too tiresome to program and sequence for the gang o' four. (Five if you count Roger Lyons)

If they could pull off one of those songs on the list, without watering it down (TBTHOG, TF, BLT, Digital, etc.), then it should be done. PLEASE NewOrder, dump JD songs, Regret, all Get Ready material except for Crystal and Blue Monday.

ROUND and ROUND for me!

Other, The Village (but i'd settle for AOC or TPK)

Age of Consent!!

Everything's Gone Green and Perfect Kiss are my second and third choices.

The Village would be my pick as well. I'd settle for Everything's Gone Green. Whoever else said EGG hasn't voted for it.

Originally posted by Ally3000 I picked "Vanishing Point" because I think it would be interesting to hear a "Perfecto-like" update of it a'la True Faith and Touched. Classic song, long overdue a live dust off. Aside from that, I wouldn't mind hearing some obscure numbers from Low-life, such as "Face Up" and "Sooner Than You Think" :D Also, "Weirdo" from Brotherhood might be good to insert in the middle of the set, a quick 2 minute blast of classic energetic NO! But unlikely to happen :(I think they should definitely not play any more Joy Division songs, unfortunately despite their best intentions they sounded like a tribute band when they did Atmosphere, Heart & Soul etc. it's best left in the past and they should return to the "making it on their own afterburners" attitude as Barney put it in an interview. JD has not existed since May 1980, pointless to pretend otherwise really and part of the whole JD appeal was Hannet's bleak production that cannot exist in the live arena. Also, I'd like to see Blue Monday, Ceremony, and every Get Ready song bar Crystal removed from this tour's setlist. Time for a change and that lot has been run into the ground performance-wise over the past few years."Right this is Close Range..." *Everyone flocks to the bar*Oh, and a cover of "What do you want from me?" please Santa Ally.

PERFECTO UPDATES!! EEK! AYE CARUMBA!

The originals are already about a million times better.

I wouldn't be averse to them doing Crystal more in the style of the Lee Combes mix.

I would love to here disorder...

TPK

Wishful thinking, but a fantastic live track.

Thieves Like Us!

Hurt! Ultraviolence!

Vanishing Point

I picked TPK, though there's not a chance they'll do it.

Another song like EGG or Procession would be fantastic. I'd like to hear Dreams Never End also....no synths on that one.

I really do hope that the band play Perfect Kiss, i would just love it if they played it

I voted for 1963. One of my alltime favourites. Say, I'd easily drop TBTHOG alone for the refrain.

The Perfecto/Paul Oakenfold sound is pretty dated in itself. And personally, I dislike what Oakenfold represents. There's nothing innovative about that sound and Perfecto's usual drivel of mediocre trance (have you heard "Bullet in a Gun"? - ughhhh...

It would be cool to hear Age of Consent live, so that's what I went for but there's plenty on that list that i'd be well pleased to hear especially Procession and Perfect Kiss :)

Sadly, Procession is the least likely of all of them - Bernard denies all knowledge of ever having written the song nowadays (maybe not all that surprising, as Steve wrote it!), and they binned it in 1985!
