Summer Dates...Different Set List(s)? — Forum Archive

3 Mar 2002, 23:00

I know this may be premature, but with NO having some time off before their summer gigs, I was thinking that maybe they'll mix things up a bit this next time around. This may be a tired subject by now, but what do you think the chances are?

Some tunes I'd personally like to see in the set lists are Primitive Notion, True Faith (original version - enough w/ the imPerfecto version), The Perfect Kiss and anything from Technique (save for Fine Time).

For those of you that have the chance to see them this summer - ENJOY!

Why can't they play different sets every night like the old days??

Presumably they'll have to include "Here to Stay"?

Er, and that's probably all we should expect.. .

Hooky should do a few Monaco songs and then Barney could come out on stage a few songs in.. cue madness from the crowd. Then do a few electronic numbers... cut through the end of get the message with Age of Consent leading into a storming new order set finished by Gillian coming on stage to do Selfish and then encore with an unexpected and surprising 10 minute drum solo from Steve.

It could happen.... :D

Because they are "professional" now, according to Hooky. Plus the fact that everything is pre-recorded, the lyrics come up on a screen for Barney, and the hologram of Steve at the back is only set to drum on one in three tracks. Who needs Gorrilaz when you've got Northern Monkeys ?

Haha!! love the bit about Steve the Hologram!!!

I was watching my cities in the park video or to be more accurate Feel Every Beat, and noticed that Barney had his eyes screwed up tight shut throughout the whole song!! Maybe he memorised Electronic songs better than NewOrder songs perhaps??
