I voted As It Is When It Was.
Probably in the top 2 best tracks from Brotherhood for me and always curiously sounded better live than on record (Pumped Full Of Drugs + Reading '93 good examples) It would be smart if they resurrected that one ![]()
Voted for Hurt ! 's been so long since i didn't hear it live... And The Village would be so nice too. EGG, @Traffic fest. in Italy was just one of those superb surprise from our Lads by the way.
Hurt, the Village or thieves. Nice if they could dust off a real oldie like Truth, though can't ever see them doing anything off that album now.
This Time of Night/Subculture/Face Up
Something from the Low Life period that will get us "synthheads" dancing like mad.
defo gotta be Procession or Leave me alone.
not sure if Barney got the voice now for those two though.
Of those, probably only World exists in a usable format these days, and is written in a key he can sing. There are plenty of others I would rather see back though!
Vanishing point has a lot of appeal for me. Think it would flow well with the setlists as of late.

As it is when it was was my pick, its probably my Favorite Song, a close Second Would be Age of Consent
Christ almighty, why don't we all slag the arse off Barney's voice...
Why don't we compare how it is now versus Taras Schvenko, for example??
I think he's great, I love his voice and it suits what he sings...has done for the last 20 years that I've been listening to them.
Subculture, by the way... ;)
I went for AOC, but if I had to choose something other than the list I'd go for Ceremony. I've been listening to the Substance version a lot lately, I just love that song and I'm not sure that NO do it too much lately (of course, I weigh 600 pounds and can't travel to the shows, so they may very well have revived it anyway
)

Put yer catapult away. One of the reasons they don't do the old songs is because he struggled to sing them back then, and when they discovered it was possible to write songs in a key that suited his voice there was no need to go back to the old ones. Little things like changing the key of older songs to suit them seems to have escaped them (besides LWTUA).

do you need a pitchfork?
Thieves like us is my answer, but out of your list, i picked aoc.
Hurt and AOC are the obvious choices, but it'd be hard to beat having Hooky sing Dreams Never End!
Oh it's so obvious... Perfect Kiss!
If they can't re-create the original they could do a new version.
It's a shame such an essential song hasn't been played live for 12 years! ![]()
AOC is a classic and should never have been dropped from the set anyway, i think they should also resurect lonesome tonight, another classic
I'd love them to bring back Age of Consent so that's where my vote has gone. I'd be thrilled to bits with any from that list though :)
Dreams never end
or
Vanishing point (their most forgotten song)
Technique deserves at least one song in the current set list

I agree.
As It IS When It Was
One of their finest songs ever.
"We make a living out of writing songs about all the things in your life that go wrong."
Like drinking beer at 440 am and surfing the net.
Sunrise definitely - that would get the forty-somethings stage diving for sure. But also, Broken Promise would get the crowd rocking. And finally, is it me, or is Mesh (the track actually called Mesh, not Cries and Whispers) the most underated NO song of all time? I fookin love it.
Voted AOC, although I would love to hear Perfect Kiss live. Also hav a soft spot for Procession. Only seen them once anyway and didnt care wot they wanted to play, jus good to see em live.
A Means To An End....Classic Joy Division, and I think Barney could do Ians words Justice on this track.
Run - i believe the problem with this song was that John Denver unbelievably thought it was a rip off of 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' , - now that he's passed away the problem has surely gone and it could be brought back and even released as a single, its one of the great album tracks of all time in my opinion.
He can't properly sing any of them. Actually, any song.
But Subculture would fit well, I guess.
No Doubt about it !!!It has to be The Perfect Kiss. It would be Awsome to see them play it live again.:)
That's not such a great collection to choose from. Okay a lot of people would like to see Age of Consent, but eh, there's a lot more songs out there I'd rather see on a new setlist. also I agree As It Is would be a good one to see.
THey definately need get a bit more representative of their career with their setlist. The same setlist over and over this year was getting to a bit of a joke, but hey, then ill get bombarded with people saying it's better than nothing. I just think it would be great if they at least had one song from each studio album in there, at least something of technique, brotherhood, all it is now is the very well known songs like temptation, with the few old JD ones, just a bit boring really... Don't know if you'll agree but surely true what i'm saying. Perfect Kiss would be great and seems to be one of the most requested at the moment, one of Technique like Round & Round or VP would also be nice. Hell, I'd even like to see Shell Shock up there, can just imagine Barney in all his angry glory 'HHOLLD ON!!!!', just need a bit more of the late 80's New Order in their setlist dont you think.
Out of this list, 5 8 6 is definitely the one I fancy the most. But TPK is the one I'm REALLY dying to see live.

I agree. World is very good live.
