  • if , i say IF they play live,they're very good

  • haha itd be fun to see one of those ridiculous cell phone filmers we see in todays audiences in a film abouta post-punk band from manchester during the late 70s

  • They are not a band. Just a bunch of actors that they got that could sing and play instruments. They jammed so much during rehearsals that they became kinda like a band. They became good enough to play the songs live to add some realism.

  • I think this is a pretty cool clip!!!

  • Do you know the name of the band that plays the Joy Division songs in the film? I want to get their version of Dead Souls.

  • the actors themselves are playing i believe

    there not a real band

  • Thanks for the info. That's a shame! I'd like to buy that version of Dead Souls, but probably its not available.

  • you can get the actors version of Transmission on the Control soundtrack cd

  • whoever that little girlie it flips to for a moment is a cutie ;D

  • Absolutely Wicked , i'm jelous.

  • someone posted this video awhile back on youtube but it was from a diffent angle and claimed it was from a 1978 concert recored on 8mm film

  • Well...this is the only copy we made on that day, using a Nokia phone:) funny to think that others are claiming this as the real thing, when it quite clearly says it was done at the aftershow of one of the film shoots! Still, I've not seen any other footage, which seems quite surprising given the amount of cameras there;)

  • Perhaps you were recording on your cell phone a reactment of the stage used and performed on back during a 1978 joy division concert.

    Could be why your footage looks like the orginal.If I rember correct the ther footage posted was much darker and fuzzier then yours.

  • Man, that must of been great to see them play that live. What a brilliant job! Best Joy Division cover band I've ever heard.. They should do a tour.

  • No way man, it isn't possible to cover Joy Division...

  • well, not with the same atmosphere, power and intensity as Joy Division. that is impossible, no one can recreate what Joy Division brought into the world, they can only make there own little inferior copies

  • Sorry, I'm an idiot... it's obviously from the film.

  • Any one else suspect this video is fake? This looks more like the actors from the new movie CONTROL to me.

  • Fucking awesome!! Sam Riley did an amazing job! You'd swear to god you were sent back in a time machine.

  • Amazing! The quality of the video sorta gives it a 8mm feel.

  • wow! that was actually good!

  • i relised aged 15 that joy division were always goin to be the most important band in my life.25years on and the rest of the world gradually catches up.they will prove to be the most important band since the beatles.i hope Martin(rip) gets his dues in Control.seanx

  • hey is that you half the video protomartyr.

  • When is this out Proto? What role did you have in the film? Was it filmed around Manchester/Macc? There was a film crew in Hyde last year, I was hoping it would be for this but it wasn't.

  • A large part of it was filmed in Nottingham b/c it looks more like Manchester did back then.

  • Sam riley

  • So who's Ian played by?

  • they were actually performing for the filming? wouldn't that just be looped in during post production?

  • They were performing live over a drum backing track, if you follow me, for the filming. This was a live performaance after the shooting had finished, a present for the extras present during the filming. The fact that they could actually play the tracks very well was just amazing!

  • Yeah, These guys can really play! Holy shit - I can't wait to see control. Sma Riley is a kick ass Ian CUrtis.

  • I was an extra in that film!!!! jealous yes you should be ha ha, It was full to the brim of Joy Division fans wicked such a nice atmosphere-but it was damn hot in there!. can't wait to see if my fro made the final cut. They really did play very convincingly @ that. Should b a an excellentf ilm wicked Director plus Samantha representing Notts! all round cool

  • I am soooo jealous you got to be an extra, I bet that was amazing!!!
