Best cover done by New Order

You've missed "Turn the heater on" Nicos.

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 !

Hum.. from who? I don't remember..

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.

where was this played???

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?

New Order did Anarchy in the UK? WIERD.

Milan 82, they done a jam with 52nd Street

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

Bit wrong there Shug !

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 liked the 1981-1982 cover best

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.

sister ray.

Excellent stuff, cheers ! :)

I think you missed Run run run (Velvet Underground); according to the file info the recording is from 87-09-04 at Darien Lakes with Echo.

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.

CEREMONY-Joy Division nudge nudge say no more!

i love "turn the heater on" i think it is the weirdest, beautiful, most heartfelt cover they have ever done.

VIETNAM

Seeing as every other bastard and his dog are bringing these buggers back to the front.....it's my turn

Vietnam is the Ultimate cover version done by the band, well, there are only a copule to choose from

Vietnam is the dogs bollocks.....I've said it before......and no doubt I'll be saying it again:D

100% agree with that! its the BEST cover song they have EVER done...

if you dont agree with us then you are WRONG!!

Here to present the opposing viewpoint is Gnu Odor:

I absolutely hate Vietnam. Not necessarily the song itself, despite the pedestrian and predictable lyrics, but the performance. I played it twice; the second time with my hands bound so I couldn't grab a rusty sewing needle and plunge it into my eardrums to end the horror. The pristinely played and utterly devoid-of-life faux reggae was bad enough, but when Barney and Generic Backup Diva No. 544 couldn't even settle on how to pronounce "Vietnam" -- that's when I knocked over a candle and let the hot wax pour into my ear canal for relief.

I immediately put on "Les Baines Douches" as an antidote, thank God. And there in my headphones was not a clique of bored by-the-hour session players but an actual goddamned BAND, wailing away like they actually gave a flaming fuck, like it mattered...like life itself depended on getting the music out to the audience.

Hold that thought...microwave burrito's ready.

I will maybe reply to this again later but one thought immediatly springs to mind... from what you say you seem to insinuate that the band has actually got worse 24 years on and thousands of performances later. bains douches was 1979 and Vietnam was recorded in 2003 To say that the band sounded better 24 years ago than they do now is somewhat dismissing all there achievements and hard work that they have put in over nearly quarter of a century is it not??

Im sure the band would agree that you improve with practice... it seems you dont seem to think so!! ;)

oh and that 'generic backing singer' is DAWN ZEE im sure a few people may have heard of her..... ;)

Quite the contrary. Despite how many people slag "Rock the Shack," I love it, because it showed that these guys can still tear it up in the studio together...if they want to. Same goes for recent live versions of Joy Division tracks.

My vote goes to the Sparks cover because it shows a band that takes chances. God, to try to integrate sequenced synths into a live band at that time took guts...not to mention muscle. Those things weighed a ton. And this wasn't an audience that came to hear "the hits," nor one that was used to even hearing synthesizers...at all...and yet NO hit them with this challenging stuff. No wonder Bernard looked so scared in all those old concert videos.

It's like Blue Monday...drum machines have since been used on 175,000 tracks, but that one track still stands out as one of a kind.

It's all a matter of expectations. I suppose "Vietnam" is a perfectly competent coast, but I hope it's not indicitive of the band's "new direction."

oh and that 'generic backing singer' is DAWN ZEE im sure a few people may have heard of her..... ;)

She's got a nice voice, but I'm glad the band hasn't rushed to overdub new backing vocals on "Paradise" or "Procession."

Once in a while background singers emerge as stars, but then you end up with Sheryl Crow and Paula Cole. You're welcome to both.

In retrospect, I may have slightly overstated my dislike of "Vietnam."

P.S. You'll all have your chance to rip into my Community entries soon...in the end I must submit.

P.P.S. Please take Sheryl Crow.

Does a verse of "Walk on the wild side" count? Sydney 87

'Vietnam'

It isn`t the best cover version done by New Order.

It`s the best song done by New Order!

If you dont like me for saying that, youll hate me when you realise I actually prefer Divine`s 'Love Reaction' to 'Blue Monday'!
