I think on this one I have to agree with Inta...I think this song sounds better live than on any of the studio versions...and when they did it at Area One, I think I jumped over about 5 rows of seats...the couple next to me said something to the effect of "oh, you like this song?"

I have to say the Taras version, even with the on-the-spot lyrics, has got to be one of my favorite NO performances.
BTW There's video on this site of New Order doing Ceremony from 1981-ish, I thought it might be the version on TS but it's actually from the Factory Video. Anyone know if that's still available? That would be interesting to have, I remember really liking the performance back when i had an oppertunity (all too brief!!!) to enjoy the multimedia section
Trouble is, I've only got the original Temptation on vinyl, so I tend to listen more to the Substance version...
I can see why they redid the song for Substance. Barney no doubt didn't like his vocals on the original. The ooohs are noticeably out of tune. But there is something about that original 12" that's really special. It has a quality to it that the later version lacks. It's infectious.

YES! i guess that's my favourite version, followed by the original 12" version. :D

Well, I've got it in mp3, but I couldn't find it on my 316 DVD! Maybe I should try again, but it doesn't appear in the menu when you launch de DVD.
Temptation 98 is good, but the "bolts from above hit the people down below" part is missing, which is a shame. 
I never heard the original 7" version. I like the 12" a lot. Is there a big difference between both versions?

it IS on the DVD, but not as an Audio-Track! It's put over the Live-Footage before the Interview with NewOrder.

Do you mean it's part of the interview chapter of the DVD? OK, I never watched this part of the DVD. I'll try again.

THE VERY BEST VERSION IS......................the canadian 12" single 1981-83 remix, factory us somthing or other...it also included remixed versions of ,everythings gone green,mesh,cries and whispers and another song i have temp forgotten the title of...i own the record ,by the way.....i remember now its called HURT.....THE ..........7" VERSION IS THE BEST FOR A QUICK FIX
I beg to differ, The version of Temptation from Tower Ballroom B'ham 1983 is just ... Sublime.
Sounds the same as any other Temptation gig version of that era to me ! The Cardiff 83 version was good. The entire Birmingham set was a let-down after LWTUA IMHO though.
Well, my own Factory 7-inch version of Temptation just rocks like no other bastard's anyway. Wanna know why? Because it's a slightly off-centre pressing that's why......and believe me, when you listen to it under the influence of a tab or two it's fookin' mindblowin' man! Ya feel like ya ganna fookin' levitate, know what I'm sayin' ??
