Blue Monday of course... Bernard's face is priceless... and it's nice to hear the song suddenly edited to an end, though of course I prefere the original extended version as the final is my very favourite bit of music ever, with all its layers of keyboards... but there's something nice in that minimal keyboard in that sudden end and in Bernard's ironic expression, half bored half amused...

Voted for Fine Time. The dance was priceless.

I haven't seen them all, but I voted for blue monday, simply because I think they look great. Real aloofness, almost saying "We're playing this live, doing it our way, if you don't like it then...". Real example of the New order atitude at the time. Even though it famously sounded a bit shit.

Not sure that any of them were 100% live!

Had to vote for Fine Time, funny as fcuk, though quick the one defining moment was the opening of True Faith where the camera swoops over Barney just as he's arcing his neck. Quality New Order moment.

True Faith for me. Blue Monday was a shambles! :lol:

I think they were all great:

Blue Monday: Barney's 'taking the piss' attitude and some classic Hooky bass.

Thieves Like Us: Raw bass and some angry synths

True Faith: Barney had evolved into the 'pop star' and I like the 'tic-toc' synth sound.

Fine Time: Lashings of freaky dancing from Barney.

Round & Round: Good crowd vibe, Barney blinging it up and Hooky looking like he'd be in the pub for the past couple of months.

It's tough, but I'd go with True Faith.

I didn't get into new order till 88 (the first picture I saw of them was from TBTHoG vid so I was one of those people who thought they looked like that!) so imagine my relief when I saw them live for the fist time on ToTP doing fine time! That's why it gets my vote.

Is it video or studio on Friday ??
