duplications (three versions each of "Crystal," "Regret" and "Fine Time"), and a few omissions (no "Love Vigilantes"), the usually inspired selections reflect the versatile Manchester, England, quartet's unfailing knack for tuneful passion. And for all of New Order's studio elegance and club-accessible mutability, the live disc is radically, raucously raw.
