Manchester setlist(s)?

El Jarvo wrote: First UK gig just two weeks today, but what can we expect?

I'm gonna stick me neck out and say they're gonna open with

Elegia Crystal Regret Ceremony Age of Consent

Then perm any two from -

Love Vigilantes 1963 Here To Stay Round & Round

(With the other two tracks not played the first night being played the second night instead)

And also stick Krafty somewhere in the mix amongst that middle group too, both nights.

Then close the set with . ..

BLT True Faith 586 Perfect Kiss Temptation

And chuck in an encore of

Blue Monday LWTUA

All a bit leftfield that setlist, I know, but here's hoping.

What say you?

You have SPOILT it for me NOW!

Would they not consider playing something from Lost Sirens, even if it was just to piss Hooky off

i hope not,i don't want to hear anything new

i'm hoping for another new old one though

and for some reason i think it'll be subculture or fine time

HURT after Regret - I have seen the future :)

Any idea what time they're likely to hit the stage?

Got a sneaking feeling we may get a couple of unexpected tracks for these dates. Along the lines of KW1, Transmission and WFTSC.

So many HURT rumours..... you people know something

Didn't Steve say something about Thieves Like Us?? I think it would be a pleasant surprise to whip that out on you lot.

Not sure they're doing much rehearsing as Phil's been busy with Marion.

I hope they drop Krafty and 1963 - never saw what the fuss is about on either of these tracks. If they are to play anything off WFTSC hopefully it will be Who's Joe or Turn.

From an older perspective I would love to see Thieves like us or EGG included too and it would be great to see Dream Attack (no chance I know)

if there is to be a JD track hopefully they can resurrect Shadowplay rather then revert to Transmission.

Crystal Ceremony Regret Age of Consent Here to Stay Who's Joe Thieves like us Dream Attack Love Vigilantes BLT EGG 586 True Faith Temptation Blue Monday

LWTUA Shadowplay

I think (and hope) there will be a couple of surprises.

I hope they drop Krafty and 1963 as mentioned.

Would love to hear TBTHOG. If they do it, they should dig out the wigs again.

I reckon the festival setlist is set in stone.

But I hope for you lucky peeps in coldsville that lazy Barney mixes it up.

Would love to do the first night at the Apollo, 'spose I shouldn't be greedy was there in 98, cost me a job, so what.

Have fun everyone.

Forgot about TBTHOG - good shout! Glad someone agrees about 1963 and Krafty too

Those festival sets in Oz looked about right - just 9 or 10 songs.

No way hosey, I want my moneys worth at least 15 songs

Perhaps they could just play everything faster?

Age of Consent could definitely do with being speeded up to somewhere near how fast they used to play it! :\ohwell:

Agreed and no encore ....... tension in the air

I'm bored shitless with this setlist, I'm only going to the gigs to catch up with everyone, don't have any expectations. I'd love it for them to throw in a few surprises, but years of experience suggest otherwise. Any old NO song that hasn't featured for a few years will do!

I'd love them to do Lonesome Tonight or Cries & whispers, doubt it though.

Nope, don't expect to get a copy really but wouldn't mind if it's out there. See you at Brum Mike?

Agreed, great track, but again, this is another they'd watered down a bit too much. That opening was so half-arsed it spoilt it.

I'd like to know what goes through their minds when they do this? New Order used to have so many tracks that came in like a light aircraft crashing into your living room (I've used that analogy before 43 times here, and will use it again!), so why they then think they need to bring a track in slowly instead is beyond me. TBTHOG suffered from this, as did BLT and True Faith. It's sacrilege that they've done this to Temptation as well now.

Spot on. I like the new 586 but restore BLT/Temptation etc back to how they should be. Wouldn't mind hearing Sub Culture again.

Wish list, just in case one of the current band members is reading this......

On the one hand I found myself thinking at the Troxy - Hmm i know this intro, it's Street Hassle, which I like. On the other hand I think it stops the crowd from "oooing" at the beginning of Temptation which is a shame.
