Somebody pointed that one in the french forum, I finally found where it was stated in the english forum, so I'm.. puzzled..

..Could this be that one with Age of consent, Sooner than you think, Blue monday, In a lonely place and Temptation? It appears under several labels, and I have some recordings where it appears as "NO at Saturday Night Live" or "1985 BBC Soundcheck" or "Sat. Night Live Soundcheck 1985".

yeah i think thats all the same!
That´s great, I´ll check for the audio quality. 
I remember there are really great versions of Temptation & Sooner than you think. 
A little bit of Blue monday appears on NewOrderStory, isn´t it?
the quality is pretty good, and temptation is probably the best version of the song there is some classic barney antics as well, he keeps telling steve to speed up the pace of in a lonley place

..Wait a minute. Bill Haley & The Comets?. listen to this version of Temptation. At the end, Hooky (or Barney, don´t really know) plays the chords of an antique song wich name I can´t remember.. sounds like the soundtrack of that McCauley Culkin film -- wich title I can´r remember too!
here i found something:
Rock Around The Clock - New Order live from the BBC's Maida Vale studios.
This marathon television and radio extravaganza occurred in 1984. It pulled together music from around the world and featured a set from New Order from the BBC's own studios. Back in those days Radio 1 wasn't broadcast on FM only on Medium Wave (275 and 285 metres). So the broadcast used an old-fashioned 'simulcast' to let those viewers with FM radio to hear the show in stereo on their radios on Radio 2 (FM). New Order reputedly arrived late and in a bad mood, having got stuck in traffic on a hot day. They played a storming set though consisting of 'Sooner Than You Think', 'Age of Consent', 'In A Lonely Place', 'Blue Monday', 'Temptation'. Bernard Sumner memorably introduces the closer 'Temptation' with "an atmospheric song to get us out of unatmospheric place". Sadly the visuals fade out towards the end has the TV part of the show had to go to another item. Fortunately though the simulcast continued on Radio 2 and bizarrely continue whilst an old Blancmange video is shown on screen!
Wow, sounds really good.
The Temptation version, it's not the one on NewOrderStory? I tought it was it.
Never heard those, and they were online all the time 
my name is even listen beside Thieves Like Us..
Great things to have.. sounds probably better than the version I MUST have somewhere but wasn't even aware of... :shy:

Nice shorts... NOT!!
It's not the same as NewOrderStory since it's really in studio!

The NewOrderStory version was originaly broadcasted by Granada TV in 1982, I think. It´s great too, but I prefer this one. 
What a weird Blue Monday version..
Did Barney actually sing "I still find it so hard to sing in tune with you, but I'm quite sure you'll tell me what the fuck we should do" on Radio 1?
NO: 24 AUG 84 Radio 1 "Saturday Live" Sound quality is excellent. About 30 minutes in length.

Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 16:04:37 +0100 From: "Ally" Subject: (Fac33) Old Q Magazine New Order article ...
I found this little extract in the January 1997 edition of Q Magazine. It was in a section called "TV Hell" which reviewed less than successful performances of bands on TV:
For New Order's appearance on BBC2's 1985 special Rock Around The Clock, the sound wasn't strictly "good", but the real problem was Bernard Sumner, merrily "speeding off his nut. He was singing badly off-key, and you could see people in the control room wincing." explains associate John Barrett. "You can hear him telling drummer Steve to speed up, even on slow songs like In A Lonely Place. In one song he changed the words to, 'I wish someone would tell me what the fuck we should do.' Typical New Order, highly entertaining."
Tracklisting, don't know if this the actual order these songs were played besides the first song listed.
Sooner Than You Think
Nothing worth noting.
Blue Monday
"I still find it so hard/To stay in tune with you But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me/What the fuck we should do"
Age Of Consent (intro somewhat flubbed)
In A Lonely Place
BS: "Speed up a little bit Steve, a bit faster than this"
(later on)
BS: "Faster!" (said about twice)
(there's a cut in the MP3 copy at about 1:50)
Temptation
Really good version, the music stops, and Barney goes into the "Oh you got green eyes..." bit acapella, he also says (in an undertone) at the "Oh, it's the last time" line, "Yes, it is."...and of course, gets off a "last FUCKING time". And there's a funny sort of spaghetti- western bass riff at the end." If anybody can id this, I'd be grateful.
BBC announcer outro
And that was the sound of Temptation, that was New Order: Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, and Bernard Sumner, in their debut live Radio 1 session, I hope you enjoyed it telly as well, by the way. Tomorrow the band are playing the Portsmouth Guild
You guys won´t believe me, but I´ve spent years of my youth waiting for the reprise of the american "Saturday Night Live" show wich presented NewOrder as musical guests.
Well, I knew I had those, N21 posted them on his site when it was still opened, but labeled as "Saturday Live", so I was sure it was live versions, might have checked them once or twice only, but now that I know it's studio.. that petition is going to have a few new songs added :D
Originally posted by frank smarra well the "SPAGHETTI WESTERN INTRO"is hooky playing "my girl" by the Temptation(s)
I always thought it was "Love Grows Where My Rosmary Grows (And Nobody Knows It But Me)" by some lousy 60s band (can't remember the name). I'll have to go back now and listen to Hooky's little jam again, that makes more sense

Which year would that have aired?
