New Order's chaotic 30-minute performance at BBC Broadcasting House, Studio S1, London in 1984 as part of 'Rock Around The Clock' would become legendary. Here's an angry Age of Consent #TimsTwitterListeningParty

🔈It's a bit faster than this.

I’ve still got this on a vhs tape in the loft. It’s often the fcuk-ups, mistakes etc that makes live music for me. Wanna hear it note/word perfect? Listen to it at home on cd/record. 🤷🏼‍♂️

To me this was an awesome iconic performance, the rough edges made it so authentic and spell-binding.

Poor buggers had been stuck in a traffic jam, were late and were not allowed a soundcheck here's a clip of Stephen & Gillian explaining the infamous session 😎 (credit to who posted on Facebook as I can't trace them on twitter)

@peterhook on bass, he's the boss.

Love New Order, but Bernard was/is an improvised singer. Well… not really a singer. He’s a terrible singer. But they had to make do with him… a new singer after Ian would be even weirder

Bernard def looks pissed

Always loved it. There’s booze on the go and it’s rough but it’s a cool gig. Listen to the records if you want it tight, or enjoy live stuff like this.

Was Stephen playing too fast for Bernard?

Too slow for him during In A Lonely Place.
