Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes
Neil Young - Like A Hurricane (I know...not new wave but damn the live version kicks some serious ass!)

U2 - Bad, Electric Co., Party Girl
Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better, Psycho Killer

Not new wave:

Eric Clapton - Cocaine

I'd love to hear the live version of "I See Red". Got an mp3 you'd care to share?

I think depeche mode's "Everything Counts" sounds a little better live.
