Personally I think its a rubbish idea, though it does at least keep the rapidly dying concept of the 'album' alive, so perhaps its no bad thing in some ways.

The Delgados also did this ten years ago during a three night run at the ICA where they played every track off their first three albums, in order, over 3 nights.

I too think it's a bit of a rubbish idea and seems to be favoured by bands who have nothing new to sell but still have bills to pay. I saw Sonic Youth do 'Daydream Nation' and was a bit underwhelmed, despite loving the band and that album in particular.

As for this thread could we not just re-name it 'what's your favourite New Order album'?

The Stooges did it with fun house then Iggy and the Stooges did it a few weeks ago with Raw Power.

It's verring a bit close to cabaret innit?

I've been to a few of these - Wedding Present, OMD, Stooges, Saint Et, Bunnymen - and it's not as good as you think it might be. When you know what's coming up next one of the most exciting elements of a gig is lost.

If they ever return, I really hope they don't follow this cash-cow template.

And how is that different than the last few tours New Order did?

True. I remember thinking we were going to get Age of Consent in Oakland.

The first two albums in a row: Movement & PCL. But it would mean no singles.

Since they all love them guitars these days and I love the album, I went with Brotherhood. So many songs on it I'd love to hear live -- Weirdo, Broken Promise, just to name a few.

agree, brotherhood was my choice..

As it's been suggested here and I think Al's original post was a great discussion point, I've "cobbled together" my version of New Order playing Lowlife "Live". I chose Lowlife because it's currently got a third of the votes in the poll, no other reason.

The tracks are from various gigs, chosen mainly because the acoustics and sound quality of the various recordings were similar and it will hopefully sound pretty much like a real live performance. I have, however, adjusted levels, EQ, etc. slightly so that they "fit" better... but even then, some of my edits are pretty obvious :shrug:

I've stuck three extra tracks on the end - as an "Encore" - my choices, but all were being played live around that time.

AOC especially for Shug and Fac383 :viking:

None of the tracks are "commercially" available as far as I'm aware.

I'm sure someone else could do a better job, but I quite liked the idea of listening to various gigs from my favourite band on a Saturday :thumb:

Thanks Chris, that's a great idea, I'm listening to it now. I'd do an album myself, but my live stuff is very limited.

Cheers Jed, but it wasn't my idea - I just thought I'd give it a go after:

Maybe someone should cobble it together from the bootlegs seeing as the miserable buggers won't do it until approximately 2020.

:shrug:

I've got an absolute s**t load of live recordings anyway. About time I dug a few out!

Probably got them mixed up because of the weird US way of expressing dates. Please let me know which, then I can correct my post :thumb:

Oh, I did check most of them against the info on NOOL :eek3:

At the time, the Power, Corruption, and Lies time would have been the most interesting. It's really hard to imagine the post 80s live band doing such a concept with much spirit, even if they were together still.

Technique "Live"

Same deal as before.

I've stuck two extra tracks on the end as an "Encore".

None of the tracks are "commercially" available as far as I'm aware.

They're taken from gigs at:

Irvine Meadows 1989, Blossom Music Center 1989, SEC Glasgow 1989, Lake Compounce Park 1989, MEN Arena 1998

It's nice to hear what Hooky's basslines would have sounded like on the album if it had been produced differently with them higher in the mix.

That's only going to happen if they do reform and play PCL. They never played it live first time around :shrug: :(

Movement - "Live"

As Requested.

They're taken from various gigs in 1980 and 1981.

As New Order didn't do encores at that time, there isn't one included here. Or is there? :wink: :laugh:
