That wouldn't be that new though, they played it in '05 (well at least whei I finally got to see them 
)?
If theres one NO song I never tire of its "This Time Of Night". I think a modern revamped version could be sublime.

I totally agree. One of my favorite New Order tunes.
i wouldn't mind hearing Guilt Is a Useless Emotion back in the set, along with Vanishing Point and Fine Time.
Confusion would be nice as well. Why didn't they play this after 98?

I like This Time of Night on Low Life, but never really dug the live versions on youtube, etc. Come to think of it, it's one of their moodiest pieces--maybe that's why. Just never felt it translated that well..
Agreed on Confusion.
Dream Attack would be good.

You can't get any better than the live version of PFD from PFD 
World (Price Of Love)
would be hilarious to see what Tom would play. They could throw in the We All Stand too.
Bring back KW1 and I'd be happy. Any of the following would be a bonus... Subculture, AIIWIW, Vanishing Point or Sunrise.
Get rid of Elegia and 1963.
Don't set yourselves up to be disappointed, there may be no changes to the set.
Just saying like.

Agreed. Especially if one of the major players was unavailable to rehearse between now and then? 
With regards to the title of this thread, I seriously doubt they'll do anything 'new' whatsoever for December 10th, but might add summat to the South American gigs? (Especially given the size of them, and the fact they might be expected to play slightly longer?). It would have to be something the layman knows though, so I'd have thought the likes of Transmission might get a turnout (especially as Bloot already played it?). Doubt they'd resurrect the likes of the Village, TTON, etc, for stadium gigs, and especially for a neutral audience.
Then again, the Brazilian thing is a proper 'dance' festival isn't it, so mark reed's comment above about Out of Control might ring true? Especially considering Bloot already played it. Not sure it's a good thing covering the Chemicals though, but it's certainly in their locker, should they need it. That might be an interesting setlist - only a support slot (I think?) so they might cull some of the 'rockier' stuff and stick to synths only.
The live "Out of Control/Temptation" combo was ace when Bad L played it. I'm pretty sure New Order Now will stay well away from any Sumner side projects though. Shame.
I did put "If we're lucky" in the title which in NO-Land usually means "not happening" 
Al and JJ are most likely correct that nothing will radically change in the setlist but can't hurt to speculate. Everyone said before Brussels & Paris it was going to be the 2006 set all over again but it wasn't. Granted that was the first gig back after 5 years but I live in hope 
Playing the exact same set in Paris brought us back down to earth a bit but I guess you can't have everything.
Personally speaking I hope they don't play any Barney side project stuff or for that matter any (more) Joy Division. If they're going to go down that road then they may as well go the whole hog and dust off Tasty Fish. Best keep it to songs by the band listed on the poster.
They will surely be playing some other tracks that weren't played at Paris and Brussels. I mean, even in 05/06 they rotated the set a little bit. So it's not out of the question for some other tracks to get an airing. The likes of Your Silent Face and Touched by the Hand of God are more likely considering they've been played recently, but still, there is a bit of a void left over by the Joy Division stuff that's not in the set any more. So it's not so farfetched to maybe hope for one or two oldies to be resurrected.
I believe Elegia opened the Shamberg concerts to set a more somber tone. I don't expect them to continue with that as the segue into Crystal was a little awkward.
It's still inconceivable that Technique is not represented so my vote would go for something (anything!) off that.
i would love to hear them play something from technique - mr disco or vanishing point in particular, but given this is the first time i'm seeing them i'm not really bothered what they play, i'm just glad i will finally get a chance to experience a no gig.
