No, I don't consider Joy Division songs as covers :D

I don't remember if there are others, New Order are clearly not big cover fans.. my pick has to be Sister Ray... although Anarchy in the UK was funny...

Simple one this - When I'm With You was a) unexpected b) brilliant c) a one-off

The others have been jammed encores/fill-in tracks when an amp has packed up, and have been there for novelty value !

Recorded on the second Peel Session in 1982, it's a cover of a reggae song by Keith Hudson from his "Torch of Freedom" album.

all of these live-covers or jams i've heard through several bootlegs sounded horrible. sorry, no vote from me.

If I was going to be pedantic, wasn't "Love Reaction" simply Blue Monday with a roadie doing Divine's "lyrics" rather than a cover per se ? Haven't listened to the tape for years, will stick it on later.

Yes.. it's only a verse added to Blue Monday to "react" as this song is a rip off...

But I was missing some arguments for a poll ;)

i was listening to an interview with peter hook, and he was talking about how everyone use to say to him that they sounded like the doors when they started, and that they used to put "riders on the storm" on the setlist, as a joke..can anyone confirm this?

It was nothing to do with 52nd Street ! They jammed with them a couple of weeks earlier at Kilburn, not in Italy.

Yep, 1.5 times. Hooky played around with the bassline at the end of the somewhat chaotic Denver Red Rocks gig 8/9/87 (where they suffered a Prestonesque equpiment failure) and they finished off the tour with it at Berkeley Greek Theater 19/9/87.

i got the interview in a series of mp3's at a joy division yahoo club called "fromsafetytohere": http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fromsafetytohere/

you might have to join to get the mp3's, but there's some other good stuff too.

i think peter hook was just talking about they did it during the warsaw period, and must of that isn't really documented, so they could've done anything.

Not quite. It was the Bunnymen's encore, and Barney joined them on stage to sing a verse (needless to say, he didn't know the words, and mumbled the "Bob Dylan was a poet but he didn't know it" line he uses on Do The Ostrich). This can't count as a New Order cover version !

Well they all suck so I'm giving no vote.

But how sings on Anarchy in the UK, cause it does not sound like Barney.
