Which year would that have aired?

I would imagine they might likely have been asked sometime around the releases of either Blue Monday, True Faith, or Regret (but of course Kajagoogoo, Rick Astley, and Billy Ray Cyrus respectively were booked :p)

Andy, it was never aired, because it never extisted. :) From 1990 to 1993 I use to think that it really happened, but later discovered that it was really another BBC Session. :shrug:

T: "I pity the fool that doesn't let me step over their lines!"

Barney: "Sod it, this is fucking ridculous! I'll be on the can." (walks offstage)

T: "That boy needs some major attitude readjustment!"

Hooky (obviously drunk): "You tell him, Mister Tibbs!"

T: "No, it's 'Mr T.', fool. Now pull yourself together, quit puking on my gold chains!"

I think I remember him intro-ing a song as "an atmospheric song for an atmospheric place", wasn't it on TV, or am I confusing it with the "Play at Home" series on BBC2 that also featured the Bunnymen?

The "atmospheric" barb was an an introduction to "Temptation" on Rock Around The Clock, and for a second it seemed (at least to me) they were going to play "Atmossphere" this of course in the days when they rarely played any Joy division songs, and certainly none on the telly.

Incidentally, about a month before this programme Tony Wilson had given an interview to Radio 1 talking up a new track called "Perfect Kiss" so for ages I though "Sooner than you think" was called "Perfect Kiss".

Did anyone really believe they played a cover version of "Rock Around The Clock". (Look I thought they were going to play Atmosphere - we all get the wrong idea sometimes!!)

The programme ended about 6 a.m. on the Sunday with the Love Will Tear Us Apart video, the last to be screened before the wrap up.

Didn't he say "UN-atmospheric place?"

All I can remember about this is New Order clashed with Brookside! So would've been about 5 or 6pm. The radio broadcast was delayed somewhat, about 10mins behind the TV?!

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

The lousy 60s band was actually a lousy early 70s band called Edison Lighthouse. I've got the single around here somewhere....

I knew I had them.. found them... Temptation (Live abisl) and others :D

Oh well, I should know better and read when I saw them, there must have been the story.

If anyone finds In A Lonely Place without a glitch or cut in the middle.. it would be very fun...

Traffic was horrendous in Portsmouth too - I had just arrived there a day early, and never did get to see the Saturday Live broadcast on TV (luckily it was on the car stereo). Trying to get across Portsmouth at 5/6pm when Pompey have just finished their first home game of the season is not recommended.

The quote was "an atmospheric song in an unatmospheric place".

I'm 100% sure there was no delay in transmission as there was a radio simulcast on BBC Radio 1 and 2 FM (as stated elsewhere Radio 1 did not have its own FM station in those days, it shared with Radio 2. Radio 1 did have the frequency on Saturday afternoon when Radio 2 covered football.)

What might be confusing is that the TV performance was faded out before New Order had finished playing, but the Radio broadcast continued until Temptation was complete.

The Guildhall gig was the Sunday - Saturday live was the Saturday !!

Great result at Tamworth - sadly I was working, and unable to attend. Still a long way to go before we can get the Conference A-Z out though ! Good feature on Belper Town in this week's NLP.

I've got the video of this broadcast. Temptation is played until the end but the credits run over the last minute or so.

Read various interviews with NO following the set which say that the day was a complete disaster. Major traffic delays resulted in them driving down to London at high speed. Various pieces of equipment wouldn't work when they were setting up which resulted in their set changing at the last minute. Barney looks very pissed off throughout the set and is constently telling Steve to "speed up" during In A Lonely Place. Fantastic performance though, especially Temptation.

I'm sure he also played this short riff at a gig in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1983, later broadcast on Radio 1, (Of course it was 20 years ago and 1983 was the year me and alcohol became best friends.

I'm sure this was the concert where Mr BS asked the audience "Do you really want to hear Everythings Gone Green?" before the band launched into it.

Of course it might just have been next in the set anyway!!

Yes, it was Kilkenny, a memorable night by the sound of it !
