Always liked the live intro to Ruined in a day, but for my favorites I'm gonna go with:
Regret 93, 98 Temptation 84 BLT 2006(dad dancing makes it perfect) Ceremony 89

Temptation - Tower Ballroom 1983 - Never bettered
had that on last night... A cracking version indeed.
Can I offer up Hurt from Paradise Garage 83 and Thieves Like Us and Your Silent Face from Glasgow 85. and I love a good Chosen Time as well.
Just generally, I like a lot of the 82 gigs when the band seemed to be experimenting more with effects and getting very dubby and trippy. Standouts for me are Rollingstone 82 and Hacienda from the same year.
Is it this new tour that's made me dig out me old box of of bootlegs?
Had Heaven 84 on in the car yesterday, the begining with the crowd sinnging 'Here we go, here we go, here we go' . I'd love us all to sing that again before they came on stage :D
Edinburgh Playhouse 86. Had it on last night as I need to weed it on from a while back.
What a set! Barney apologising halfway through for all the new ones! All Day Long sounds fantastic. I don't think I've got many live versions of that.
Chosen Time from L'Ancienne 81
And Tim, I think, was tallking about the dark brooding 586 and Ultraviolence live versions before they recorded them- there's definitely a few of them from 81/82.
I'm enjoying this thread!
Blue Monday - Reading 1989 : totally gonzo bonkers synths and effects
True Faith - Apollo 98. Durin this, when the long synth lines come into just before the verse, I knew, this was the best gig of my life. Not bettered it yet.
EGG / 586 / Temptation medleys.

The soundcheck from that one - All Day Long without the bass - you can hear what the live synth arrangement was really like. I love that.

Ah, I'd like to hear that...
Do you have it to share somewhere? Maybe as a special feature on the Recycle blog?
Go on... 
Was never a massive fan of Face Up, but fuck me it's a great live track, same goes for most of Brotherhood.
E/G/G Temptation 586 segued together are always a joy to hear.
I've known you since you were sixteen between your legs I've always been...
pure lyrical genius...
Had Reading 93 on today. A bit too slick and professional for my liking. Followed by Birmingham 85. I remember being gutted when Low Life came out a couple of weeks later and Subculture wasn't actually called "Fucking" as Bernard had told us!!!
I had Oxford 86 on while dusting my synths!
"You're all a bunch of boring cunts, really, really boring."
And then Hooky joins in and Barney coins the slogan:
"We're New Order and we don't care"
Set was a stormer too. It must have been hard playing to an unresponsive crowd.

Ah the irony of the Barn when pissed off. It was anything but an unresponsive crowd at Oxford that night. Two separate brawls, a gang of youths down the front spitting at Barney, and someone hit Hooky with a pot before Sunrise. Horrible tense atmosphere towards the end, and you can hear the gig going downhill from Shellshock onwards. One of the very best ten song setlists though!

Seconded.
I was only 17 meself at the time but distinctly remember gangs of much younger kids (12/13?) seemingly mobbing up to basically bully other younger kids at said concert.
Ceremony was a proper riot, from what I remember.
Yes --- Barney/Mac doing Ceremony at the UC Berkeley Greek Theater SEP 1987 (Substance Tour)

That didn't happen.
Your signature suggests you were there. 1st or second night?

Except this didn't happen. Either night. Barney only on vocals both nights, second song on first night and opener on second.

Radio or audience? If you listen to Round and Round and compare the two sources some of Hooky's bass has been err....polished shall we say. Listen to Hooky's part before the singing starts.
Not sure if there are any other examples of this.

Thirded.
Was my first New Order gig! Went with a mate, we were both 16 back then and were right down the front. Remember it being completely mad and a brilliant set. Think someone jumped on stage quite early on to grab Hooky, and what with that and the pot near the end, quite surprised he didn't wade into the crowd and sort it out! :)
It's all a bit of haze, but amazing set, fucking loudest PA I've heard, beer, sweat, flying fists and puke everywhere about sums it up!
Thanks to this thread and I have added Kilkenny '83 & Zurich '84 to my collection but I don't have anything from 1989 apart from Irvine Meadows :\ohwell:
89 was a strange year. Started with two French gigs where the sound was awful and the band not much better, then Glasgow and Brum,and after Brum I vowed never to bother with them again. US tours were drawn out and not all that varied, and that was the start of the "same/similar set every night" that has blighted them ever since.

Yeah but they were playing Technique songs every night. What I would give for 'Vanishing Point' or 'Run' to be regulars now...
Most of them didn't work though. Loveless was just dire, All The Way was a mess, Run was and has always been hopelessly overrated (and they recognised that themselves I think and stopped playing it on the US Tour, from memory). Only Dream Attack, Vanishing Point and Mr Disco came across as well live as on record.
new order and the bunnies played san diego, then irvine meadows , i think, then went up the coast to santa barbara and san francisco . i missed those northern cal shows , i remember hearing ceremony while dozens of younger fans were keeping me busy getting them beers -they had to be 21 . i was up to the challenge, being 20 years older and ecstatic with a terrific combination of ecstasy, beer , and ganja . i think it was days later in san francisco that ian fell or got pushed . also bernard was getting chubby, so he kept his shirt on . all were still huggable, bernard more so .

I meant for the Reading 93 show. Taking out all the mistakes must be fairly time consuming
