No sign of Dream Attack yet, but Crystal was the first track to be dropped. Although it did return the following night to replace Age of Consent.

But there are frogs in The Perfect Kiss.

And it was dropped again tonight!

First time I'd even thought of saying it after seeing New Order live over the last fifteen years or so, but if they can rest Regret and Crystal, then it's time to give BM a well earned rest too - I wasn't expecting any more songs when they started playing it at the end of the night on Monday but I took that as a cue to go and use the toilet and beat the rush out of the door rather than staying right to the end - if you haven't seen New Order live before then yes, you should expect to hear Blue Monday but I got the impression the vast majority of the audience had seen them before, and as such, have heard BM before too (and it's not the kind of song you can give a radical reworking to live either)

A voice of reason.

Before the Liverpool gig, I would have nominated Crystal for the drop (but my browser won't let me vote for some reason) - I'm now glad I didn't nominate it though.

Also, they've totally reworked Sirens and it sounds brilliant - there's no way it should be dropped.

Looking forward to a live CD a la Troxy & Bestival...

I really dislike the live version of "True Faith" they've been doing based on the 94 Perfecto mix. It just drags on way too long and sounds forcefully overblown to me. It would nice to see them drop this particular version in favor of the shorter version they were performing in the 80s.

As crystal allows for me and bernard to have a deep heartfelt one-sided conversation ( he never hears my reply,"yes Mr sumner, or what is it barny?" to his concerned 'keep it coming') it is ok to stop it . It is my opinion that they play a festival such as glastonbury , and as the only band invited and playing they play all our personal faves, everything we want to hear,such as a 15 minute dream attack, turn the heater on, recoil, draculas castle, etc, etc,etc,and film it record it sell it, plus an added disc with outtakes, directors cut ,features such as bernard and iggy and brandon and Steven singing the dwarves song from hobbit 1

What luck!!, as I was listening to the comedian in the jacket posted by fotzepolitic, a live version of academic appeared , so FZP, thanks mucho

Even Liz Fraser in her prime fruitcake lyrics made more sense than you.


Still , good entertainment and what a boring world it would be if everything made sense.

don't actually want them to 'drop' anything but just.. rotate the set a bit more.

Think of the songs they've only played occasionally - or dropped recently - before never playing them again ..

Since 2011 alone, this has included Thieves Like Us, TBHOG, Round & Round, Californian Grass, Love Vigilantes, Here To Stay, I'll Stay With You, 1963, Heart & Soul.

It would be quite pleasant if say two of these songs were rotated every five nights so we'd get some variation, as opposed to the same 16 songs in the same order 16 shows in a row.
