Come on everyone, show your support for this most worthy of causes by adding your moniker below (no fluid spillage though please!). I've got their (well, Barney's and Steve/Gillian's) addresses, and will write to them to show them the strength of feeling that an ancient classic has been allowed to get dusty. And they used to love playing it so much......

Age of Consent, Temptation and Ceremony. 3 of New Orders single most exciting, exhillarating and truly magical live songs ever in human history.
No New Order gig should EVER again miss the opportunity to keep the very essence of underlying quality away from the hardcore fans... it would be a crime.
Although there's no way I will benefit from this, in a free and fair election I would certainly vote to have AOC included in every live performance.
temptation is a must for any live set - when they played it last week in manchester i didn't want it to end - and everytime i hear ceremony i get goose bumps - or am i just an old sentimental
My mate kept shouting Age of Consent at Hooky in Glasgow on Sunday, and Hooky shouted back from the stage, "Er, about 16?".
Classic.
Also a classic choon. I'd love to see Dreams NE back too - give Hooky his 3 mins of glory!! And Sunrise. Fuck me, the list is endless.
in future they shouldn't have a support band - just play a set - go off have a break - come back - too many songs too little time

Big lad, who had a Barney haircut? Yeah, that would've been him. Mad Darren. He's Welsh, doesn't say a lot but loves his New Order!

'Crucial point one day becomes a crime' when you don't play AOC anytime !!!!
Lets have some of it ASAP.
Let me add to this list Everything's Gone Green, that's another unused classic that would liven up any old run-of-the-mill New Order gig......
I also love ICB and Chosen Time, but they tend not to play anything off Movement anymore. It's a good album, wouldn't be such a bad thing for them to recycle some of the tracks for live shows
Seems Mike, Maria, Taboo #7 all got their wishes answered last night!
Arthur B did EGG, and Hooky solo'ed Dreams and Consent!
Best bits of the tour thus far, I'd have said!
NO ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE WE NEED NEW BLOOD PERSONALLY I THINK THEY SHOULD GIVE 'DEADBEAT' A GO! AND BEFORE YOU GET HYSTERICAL, I KNOW ITS A REVENGE TRACK BUT HOOKY IS NEW ORDER AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED.
I'd liek to hear AOC, but actually I'd quite prefer Thieves Like Us. Don't know why, but seeing as I have only heard a very few select live versions of it, I'd like to see them do it now. Donotknow......
