Decades...but since live is out of the question entirely now, I might as well ask that they play Low-Life in its entirety.
Have they played Disorder yet as New Order...?
If not, that's my vote. If they have, pardon my ignorance...
Flame on if you wish, but I reckon they could still rip into a mean version of Something must break. Also, Exercise One as a set-starter complete with a feedback squall couldn't be a bad way to kick off...

Jeez, wouldn't like to see them add to their list. Would be nice to see Isolation back, and it would be good for Transmish and SLC to stay (well, for them to play the latter more regularly).
Actually, no, 24hrs and These Days are alright too.
Perhaps Disorder? Something with a bit of bollocks anyways and nothing like yer Eternal slowies.

+1, as seems to be the short way of replying round here these days!
If they have to do any (and it is by no means certain that they ever will do any again), Decades would be my obvious choice, it's been too long and I can't understand why they passed it over in favour of other songs more recently. Something Must Break would be good, they never seemed to rate it enough to do it live as JD though! They'd never do Exercise One, more's the pity.

Well, they soundchecked it at the MEN in January, so it was on the cards, but it didn't make the cut and wasn't considered for selection the rest of the year.
Disorder or Novelty would be nice... Agree as well that Exercise One would make a great opener...

I don't exactly know what they haven't and had played live; I wouldn't mind hearing "Shadowplay", "The Eternal" and "As you said" though.
I too would like to see a return for Isolation, they play it wonderfully, and also I think their version of Heart and Soul at Reading 98 kicks piss out of any JD version I have yet heard.
Dead souls could be good...BUT if it suffers the same strange groove change that Shadowplay has (it's kinda laid back off the beat now and has lost ALL it's aggression, I dunno if it's down to Steve or just Barney's spasticated busking on the guitar), it could suck balls quite badly.
Never been too sure about Atmosphere either to be honest, I don't really think the electronic Toms work for it, I think it's the kind of piece that requires the Toms to be physically shifting large volumes of air about in the vicinity of a microphone, I think Denial would suffer the same fate if they rolled it out again. Also Barney's voice is a bit light for it, although I've heard a few bloody good cracks at it from him.

"here's a tune we wrote in 1978" womp smack womp womp smack
Perferably at a festival 
I'm curious to see As You Said mentioned twice, nay thrice.
Aside from being an ultra-obscure track only featured on the box set, how is it precisely a "song" the band could "play live"?
Seriously! It's just a drum machine loop collapsing in on itself, a weird keyboard noise, no discernable melody, no vocals, no bass, 2 minutes long etc. etc.
Or have I been missing out on an long lost, melodic vocal version that's been floating around for years? 
Surely there are more worthy fully-formed JD tracks to choose instead?

something must be wrong, i agree with you entirely here.
i'd love to hear them do what they did to these two songs around that time, when they new orderfied the jd tunes, done to others.
I think it's been said around here before, but I'd love to hear Means To An End with Hooky on vocals.
Also agree that the 98 versions of Isolation and H&S were stunning....
Drop the lot. Sorry but I need those old Order tunes that have been sorely missed for years.

To make Barney sound good? Mac has lost it.
None, NO shouldn't play any JD songs. They should tour under the name JD and then play them if they have to.

Aye, voice of the eighties to post-op Jack hawkins. Yet nobody did ceremony better, and that includes Curtis.

I should probably have included a " ;) " at the end of my post
Seriously - bring back Isolation and HeartandSoul, keep Transmission and Warsaw, drop the other ones they play, and give Disorder a try.
A Means To An End would be great, as it's one of my favorite JD songs. Colony would also be cool. Would love to hear AutoSuggestion also.

im suprised they havent rolled out incubation as yet,basic and jumpy enough to play and could give barney a vocal rest say mid gig.
oh and i like it as well lol
How about they play some New Order songs.
Confusion Fine Time Touched by the Hand of God Round and Round Special.
As for JD, it would be nice if they did Heart and Soul and Isolation again.

Yes please.Niiiiiice!!!
isolation again because to me it sounds like the first steps of where new order was going musically. Plus, morris fooking brings the shite home.
Possibly a moot question now, but Atrocity Exhibition or Dead Souls would do it for me. Selfishly I hope they don't play Decades again as I fear it would somehow dimish the memory I have of RFH in '84, still sends a shiver down my back when I play that one.
And a very Merry Christmas to all 
No love lost
The version on C2 was even better then the Joy Division version. I would like to see what Barney could do for it!
Personally, I would like to see Warsaw. I know they did it for John Peel day, but I would like to see it live in person!! My son loves that song because it's on a skateboard video. Gave me a chance to tell him the history of it which I liked.
