Ive got a feeling it will be Thieves Like Us.Maybe a shortened version but it is definetly due a revival.It has a similar majesty to Your Silent Face which they revived for the Get Ready gigs.I cant see them doing The Village somehow and Age Of Consent maybe too much work on the drums for Steve.Thieves would give him a break.Though they did say in i think it was the Burn mag interview they stopped playing it because the intro was too long .Yet in many gigs in the eighties they played the 7" version anyway so i dont understand where Hooky was coming from when he said the intro is too long.

yeah i will be HURT if they dont play any new erm .. oldies.Others i cant see them doing are Sunrise (Bernards not angry enough these days)and Face Up ( i doubt theres anyone he "cant bear the thought of" these days as hes so happy).Actually how about All The Way ? - that kind of song would sit well with Bernard`s mood these days.
I'd be inclined to have a few bob on Leave Me Alone myself. For very long odds, what are the chances on Jim Reilly persuading Hooky to let him up on stage to sing it?

Thieves would defo be a drumming break for Steve, it's all on the drum machine! They did a shortened version in 1986, cut it down to around 3 minutes. Too short if anything, it was over as soon as it had begun. I preferred the 12 minute early versions!
Wish it was possible they could play different sets each night, like the old day's, but I guess the auto cue ain't up to it 
Never rule anything out these days. It seems the band are trying to be more receptive to the audience if the recent US gig announcement and acknowledgement of old songs again is anything to go by.
Perfect Kiss? Drum machine & sequencers, Phil + Steve manning keyboards, with a resurrection of Barney's cowbell! It could happen, especially if they went for the Low-Life version.
Perfect Kiss, orginal True Faith, some stuff off technique would be great. How about Round & Round, Dream Attack?
TPK, Face Up and original TF are 100% on my wish list. They'd never go back to the original Temptation mix, so TF = a no-no.
So much of WFTSC is has the same deft lightness as Technique I doubt any of that stuff would re-appear, too alike.
Would love to see Someone Like You done live - much undervalued favourite off Get Ready.
We should strike up a betting pool on this.
I bet it'll probably just be a remixed Thieves Like Us.
Given Barney's current Caribbean pursuits and seeing that in all likelihood I'll miss this tour, I'd love to see:
Turn the Heater On.

Err... that's a song from The Cure, isn't it
Do you want them to cover them? :D
Much as I'd like Face Up or Sunrise, I'm not sure Barney's going to do the strained high/low bits like he used to. Given that resurrecting Your Silent Face was a master stroke last time round, I wouldn't put it past them to finish on Lonesome Tonight.

They played it at their last show of 2002 in Manchester as far as I know.
For me, I'd probably hope they would do Leave Me Alone...
first,and after i got over the shock and nearly had a heart attack i jumped around like a mad man,losing my mates in the process because they "weren't expecting new order gigs to be like that!?" now they are gagging for more of the same 
Ideally:
Angel Dust This Time of Night The Perfect Kiss Everything's Gone Green 586 Thieves Like Us 1963
And if they can't be arsed to program/sequence
:
Dreams Never End Procession Lonesome Tonight Primitive Notion
I'd love to hear some of Low-life resurrected. Sooner Than You Think or Face Up would instantly get my vote; imagine how nuts the crowd would go? The fact they're even thinking about performing a selection of "oldies" like The Village is great news and I won't miss the setlists that Get Ready spawned. Goodbye Close Range, goodbye Transmission, goodbye Atmosphere... Great songs on the original records with Hannet's production intact (bar the samey CR) but live they were butchered and sounded even worse in recorded audio.
A good twist would be a medley of a few side project songs I dunno, What do you want from me? was the best song New Order never wrote, and there's a creme of Electronic stuff awaiting a live airing. Who knows, perhaps Gillian could appear on stage for Tasty Fish's live debut :D Whatever they play, I hope it's a decent selection including the new LP and the Get Ready period (bar Crystal) is left in the past. I think if we got five songs from the '80-90 period LPs we'd have a shedload of very happy fans including myself.
Hell, if they threw in Hurt (12") Digital Mike would implode "This one's for that fooker on the web site..."

Certainly hope so. Absolutely none of the other songs from GR came across strongly live. 60 MPH and Close Range were just strummy electric guitar messes and they were never the strongest or most memorable of songs to begin with. The version of Turn My Way as on the Retro4 disc is vaguely interesting, probably one of the best live versions of a GR song I've heard so far bar a select few versions of Crystal.
As for the rest of the LP, the songs are either too weak (Slow Jam, RTS) or too improbable (Someone Like You, Vicious Streak, Run Wild) to see live. Primitive Notion also seems to complicated for them to pull off live (Amazing song, but there IS a hell of alot going on there sound-wise) Here To Stay? While technically part of the GR sessions I personally think it would be a bit underwhelming live, and would much rather see some golden oldies in its place as I suspect most people here would too.
I'm much more concerned with the live potential of the songs from the new LP to be honest. I'm not going to miss the Get Ready ones at all. Just imagining Hey Joe sonically soaring at the start of a gig; there's alot of tension before the first chorus kicks in 
can't wait!

i honestly cant see them dropping a lot of the set,its got to be a greatest hits show or average joe at the festival aint going to have a clue whats he's listening to is he? don't get me wrong i'd love nothing better than to hear face up,love vigilanties,leave me alone etc live but it aint going to happen,instead we'll get that awfull versions of blt,true faith and touched that they do nowadays,hope i'm wrong though
They'll open with "The Eternal", y'know to get everybody dancing, then play all the big hits, finish with "Decades" and if you're lucky, come back with an encore of "My yacht's as big as the M1". You know it's true.
My wish list, in no particular order :
Procession Dreams Never End Leave Me Alone Thieves Like Us The Perfect Kiss This Time of Night Round & Round Love Less Vanishing Point Primitive Notion
