Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Live in France, 1979)

I rather think the synth sounds awesome, sounds spooky, very colourful.

Great track!

[Bsonsyrup]

Listened to all the great power trios; rush cream etc...(know joy division is not really a 3 piece) and hooky, stephen and barney are up there with the best; they created some of the greatest music of the 20th century.

IAN 's lyrics are universal and personal, in one simple sentence, that is equally devastatingly profound,uplifting, esoteric and understood.

Simply.... there is no other poetry like it in the rock world.

up there with the beatles stones and other recognized greats.

why did Ian stop the guitar at the start?

[ec101dm]

too bad the synth is not in tune with the bassguitar.

@ec101dm the synths don't sound to great here. i still think this recording is great regardless. it's faster than the studio versoj, imo

I should of checked your playlists earlier. This is what the other four people below me say. Thanks again!

hey... i've been looking for this version on youtube, imo their best live performance of this song, certainly their most energetic performance! joydivisionrule's channel used to have it (i'm pretty sure), but for some reason removed it. i see you got the whole show from les bains douches posted, joy division was pretty intense for that show! btw, nice channel background of ian curtis! and thx for uploading this tune!
