The Non-Hits/B-Sides Tour

[Sean]

I have always wish that bands would do a non-hits tour. It would be so cool to see bands perform all of those songs that were never released as singles. For example, can you imagine a concert where the following bands would perform:

Depeche Mode - Ice Machine, Shout, Set Me Free, The Sun & The Rainfall, Nodisco, New Dress, etc.

OMD - She's Leaving, Stanlow, All That Glitters, The Misunderstanding, Julia's Song, Of All The Things We've Made

Duran Duran - The Sound Of Thunder, Hold Back The Rain, Friends Of Mine, Lonely In Your Nightmare, etc.

The Pet Shop Boys - Violence, Later Tonight, Was That What Is Was, A Man Could Get Arrested, etc.

I know that this will never happen but some of the New Wave bands are popular enough that they can get away with doing something like this.

God, New Order are the king of tracks that could have been hit singles:

- Leave Me Alone
- 1963
- Behind Closed Doors
- Mr. Disco
- Liar
- Sooner Than You Think

And their rarities tour should include a healthy dose of Electronic, Monaco and the Other Two as well.

I saw Debbie Harry do a show of almost all album tracks, non blondie songs, and none of her more popular solo songs. As much as I love her - the show was deadly.
She did an encore of Heart of Glass & One Way or Another and it was such a relief to hear something familiar.
I suppose if I was into her later solo material, or if it was a Blondie lp track show it would have been awesome.

I saw David Bowie tour with Nine Inch Nails on his Outside tour -- he played 3 songs I recognized, none of the rest I had heard -- if I recall NIN didn't play one of their major hits as well (I tried to find a set list on line but was couldn't find one)

Duran Duran frequently plays non-hit album tracks, and did "Sound of Thunder" and "Friends of Mine" on the last tour.
