This appeared on Youtube yesterday - a ~5 min soundcheck from New Order's gig 26th Oct 1985, which I'd not heard before and is not bad quality

However - the question is around the mystery band "Silvia's Parents" on the end of his tape.

According to Discogs they had one single out, and the bass player was called Mark Beasley. The only other connection I can find to NO is that there is a Mark Beasley named as one of the "curators" on the ∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So It Goes.. set

Coincidence maybe? It's not even clear if their appearance on the tape is related to the New Order gig. Their single was from 1989 so who knows.

Just putting it out there in case anyone recognises the name

Thanks for posting this.

This seems to be edited highlights of the soundcheck. My copy is around 33 minutes long, including The Village, Denial, Confusion (twice) and Weirdo, plus various noodling (obvs).
