if new order...

were to do one of those "play a whole classic album in order" gigs that are getting more prevalent, which album would you like to see them do?

for me would have to be low life - the perfect kiss, love vig, face up, sunrise....

of course it'll never happen.

Won't happen if you get them in the wrong order Hibster!

Re: Order already did this, on the 21st anniversary of Low Life.

New Order almost did it themselves a couple of times with Movement, and of course did play Substance A sides in order on at least two occasions in 1987 (Toronto and Irvine Meadows, may be others we don't know about).

lowie i suppose.

but i love the running order of Technique. they'd still do coughs and stuff...right?

20th anniversary, surely?!

Low-Life for me too, I guess.

It'll never happen, mind.

20th of course, I was thinking about the debuts of Face Up etc in 84!

I've started to think this recently about all my favourite bands, which albumn would I want to see.

For New Order, definitely Power Corrpution and Lies. Not necessarily my favourite album, but definitely the most interesting I think. Maybe with an added EGG/Temptation on the end of 586. Opening a gig with Age Of Consent, and finishing it with Leave Me Alone would be incredible.

Lowlife or Technique, can't quite decide.

I think Technique would be entertaining not only for the tunes, but because they are so different on stage than they were on the Technique tour, be interesting to see the difference.

Love to see them do 'Movement' NOW...obviously be a short set! Throw in the singles & b-sides circa '81 too & that's a quailty set! But,to be boring,would have to be 'Low Life'.Could do what The Cure did a few years back tho',& do a 5 night residency at the M.E.N.,& do the first 5 albums back to back.....ORGASMIC.. :)

5 night at the MEN?

Please god NO!

i wasn't listing the track order, just 4 reasons why it'd have to be that one!

yeah, knew about the substance gigs & did think of that, but it's not in the spirit of this series of gigs to do a best of

Low-Life or Technique would be my choice.

Got to be Power, Corruption + Lies. AOC, We All Stand, The Village, 586, YSF, Ultraviolence, Ecstacy and LMA. Never gonna happen though. I'd be happy hearing Age Of Confookingsent just once more.

Admittedly,the M.E.N.'s not the best venue,but they're massive now,right? & 5 nights to hear 5 different albums,5 different set lists.They were the days..... :\ohwell:

low-life. with face up played twice for good measure.

Low life

Substance.

Technique, without a shadow of a doubt

Supported by ACR, doing a "Goodtogether" set as it was the same era

Lets go for a festival of sets here

Happy Mondays, "Bummed Set"

Northside, "Chicken Rhythims" Set

Cabaret Voltare, "Percussion Force" Set.

The Fall, "I Am Kurious Oranj"

And special guest "Dean Martin" RIP

i would consider technique. but as it would be LIVE,then lowlife would be best

Nobody knows they are so unpredictable sometimes...who could say they were going to play in Brazil this year... We can ask Jack to convince his father

My choice is Low life and Technique.

TECHNIQUE!

or

Low Life

or

WFTSC.

Why do they never play any Technique songs live...?

Too much risk of PTSD chemical flashbacks?

i meant you can mosh around more to a lowlife gig

Low-Life (or Technique, that's a hard one)

this should be a poll....

Like to see them open up with Ceremony / IALP then folow it with Movement / Procession / EGG and finish on Temptation.

If only eh?!

I've seen They Might Be Giants do this with Flood a couple times. (One time they posed as their own opener a TMBG Tribute band called Saphire Bullets) They did it when the album went platinum like 12 years after it was released (haha). It was cute the first time and got old quickly.

I somehow for some reason see that if New Order were to do this once, they'd do it too much and beat a dead horse into the ground as well. :-P

I'd like PCL though then Low-Life

I think PC&L: AOC, We All Stand (sounds great live), The Village, 586 (!!) and we'd get a debut of Ecstasy - which would be nice to see.

Although Low-Life and Technique would be great to witness in their complete forms live

play nothing but jd songs at a gig....now that will never happen.

Paul Young's 'No Parlez'...

(Well it does contain LWTUA!)
