Ive been caning Shes Lost Control live at Finsbury 2002.Think this is actually a cracking version.
They should drop True Faith and quite a few others actually.Im sick of Regret but its one of their big hits so it appeals to others tha the hardcore.Any songs alright though when youre down in the mosh pissed out ya head.Alright, maybe not Run Wild for me havin said that.
They can play whatever they want if they just go on touring (especially in France)…
I've been waiting for more than ten years to see them live so…
DON'T STOP PLEASE !!!

even though run wild sounded better live than it sounds on get ready, it's still not worth taking up time for.
The Mrs would kill me if I voted for 'Run Wild' as it's one of her favourites.
Had to go for Krafty, as it's the next poorest track...
And i have to admit they should ditch Atmosphere:( .
Its lost its magic live these days compared to when they played it back at Reading 98.
Seeing as the shows are over, it wouldn't bother me if Run Wild didn't come back on the next tours, though I did like it live. I was just happy that TBTHOG didn't get aired on the last one.
I really wish they'd drop some of the live staples (Blue Monday, Temptation, etc)...I love these songs, but am just bored with hearing them live all the time....especially when they should make room for another 2 or 3 songs from WFTSC, or resurrect the likes of EGG, Paradise, TBTHOG. And I've never been happy with NO playing JD songs live...because Barney just can't match Ian's voice, they sound like cover versions to me.

Poor you. At least you get to see them live. They never come here. I wish I could get tired of seeing them perform live.
In this order: (1)BLT
(2)Run Wild
(3)Temptation
In thier place: (1)EGG or Hurt
(2)Age Of Consent
(3)Sub-culture
(4)Confusion
I voted Blue Monday by mistake but it should have been Run Wild instead cause it does nothing for me.

but then what would 3/4 of the punters have to get excited about?
I voted LWTUA, but would be happy if barney and hooky would just stop shouting all over it, it's pointless, embarresing and ruins a bloody good song, I like them doing JD songs, but don't shout C'MON!!! all over it.![]()
Yes, New Order can play whatever they want, but they should really work on their set-lists....I wouldn't come away sad or upset from a gig if I didn't hear them play True Faith, Blue Monday, or Regret...
I would think it would benefit everyone if we came away from one of their gigs as if it was our first time ever seeing the band play live. I will never forget that feeling and when I hear them play BM for the zillionth time, it kind of loses it's luster...how about 586 in its place?
New Order don't need to scratch just a couple songs, they need to overhaul their entire set. Make our concert experience a brand new experience and you will have made a lot of people happy; young or old.
Christopher, we only need another two avatars of Sisters' Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams for the set!.
Oh, True Faith

I love the 'COME ON's... is there another poll coming on?

I think Eldritch needs them back badly. Here's a picture of him at the first Sisters gig of 2005:

There's nothing more embarassing than an aging Goth.
Krafty, just because the lyrics make me want to shove earwax back into my ears. I like hearing "True Faith" and all, just because it's my favorite song, but they could drop it if they're going to continue playing the current version. A lot of the old songs need to be updated, as most of the time I can't tell what year I'm listening to when live songs pop up on winamp. Some of them haven't sounded good since '87.

They're not that bad. Au contraire, I think they're life affirming. Which is what I especially admire about W.F.T.S.C
glad to see Run Wild is winning this by a mile, it's shite (and I don't think it's any better live)
TruFthMorningSun wrote: Krafty, just because the lyrics make me want to shove earwax back into my ears.
Fair play to Krafty, it does seem to get the kids rocking at gigs. Took a vid of the audience at T on me phone and it really kicked off there, then it really kicked it off in Brittany much more so than Crystal or Regret which had just preceded it. Guess people who ain't familiar with the Order's output would take to Krafty more instantly cos it's got a [ahem] 'nice beat'?
Sirens, conversely, has been utterly shite live, imo. (Though it's a much better song on vinyl).
Had to go with the flow and vote Run Wild on this one though.
Very hard to decide this...
I've gone for Regret though- doesn't have as much emotional impact compared to the rest...

hhmm...okay, I will give that to Krafty, as I do like the music. That's odd though...I'd think "Crystal" would be better at getting people to dance.

What's wrong with Run Wild?
It's s**t. Simple really.
I agree with Jed though - if they're going to continue playing JD songs, then stop the whoops, the C'mons, etc. It's not only embarrassing, crass and ugly to hear, but it spoils classic tracks and is likely to put people off buying the back catalogue.
So, New Order, think of it this way:
For every crap whoop and c'mon you lose a percentage of each CD sale...
Stop doing it and you might recoup some of the losses on your other ill-advised ideas ![]()
crystal regret and Blue Monday
and replace them with:
dream attack someone like you and thieves like us
DEFO!!!!!!!

maybe Barney's 'dance' but it's a close thing.
Wish for 2006: 1.Gillian to kick Phil out of the band. 2.Eldritch reform original Sisters.

You really want Ben "made Richey Edwards sound like Steve Vai" Gunn back in the band Pete? Give me the late 84 line-up any day, with Gary Marx and Wayne Pussy, Lurch, the Doktor and Spiggy's boss.
As for Phillian and Gill, there's nowt between 'em in terms of what they bring to the live setting. Get 'em both on stage and take the guitar off Barney!
Run wild. I enjoy the album version, but live itis just too rocky. Maybe they use to slow down the pace a little bit. Sort of an interlude.

Er, it IS the interlude in the Copyrighted-New-Order-Slow-Section, mid gig, surely?!

It might've been speeded up but it's still definitely the 'slow one' mid-set.
Replaced, thankfully, by Atmosphere and Your Silent Face, on rotation, for the later gigs.
Run Wild, as there are around 25 other songs I would wish to see in its place.
Followed by Regret, Crystal, Krafty and whatever else from WFTSC
