Joy Division - The Eternal (Live at Lyceum Ballroom)

[00bilz]

This version almost has an industrial vibe going through it.

[guitar19904]

cry like a child though these days make me older...

[Zatzzo]

sounds like the "low" album by david bowie in this version, that eno- ambient stuff

[NintendoSegaSonyGuy]

Their best live song ever. The most perfect and beautiful version of "The Eternal". This song is eternal.

"no words could explain or action determine...just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall"Curtis4life.

[lagowski]

I have the whole gig on cassette :-|

[toomuchwhiskey]

This song describes how I feel in every way

[TheRATTLEHEAD75]

@toomuchwhiskey so,we're like (blood)brothers...

[punkpanther42]

JDs music is not like any other music - it is in a genre of its own

great version, the engineer could have removed more hiss, oh well i i will just have to do it myself when i get my copy!!

[Donzaify]

Lines from this song were written in a subway. I never knew which song they came from. I always looked at the lines, and loved them, but one day they were gone, painted over. 20 years later I remembered a fragment of the lines "flowers washed down by the rain". I entered it into a search engine, and this came up. I have never heard such perfect sadness, beautiful in its purity.

[testdepartment71]

Oh ...so beautiful.

[NicktheBarber31]

their best song. it should've been on the best of cd

[mozbolan]

i was a young man at the lyceum that night and it was very special,i managed to get a copy of that gig on tape and i still have it (Transmission thats if you can play it live...some idiot shouts out in-between every track on the tape) from A Certain Ratio,Section 25,Killing Joke (with flame thrower) & finally Joy Division it was fantastic.the one thing that sticks out in my mind is when Ian Curtis finished Atrocity exhibition he was helped off stage he was in a frenzy or fit.... i got worried

[nikvz22]

i might just listen to that again...

[elvis1210]

best version ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjamo5]

Class! cheers!

[JDsmiffy1]

Great to hear a live version of this! Why do people think this is Atmosphere? It's The Eternal off Closer. Best band ever, RIP Ian.

[1unrefined]

I've always loved this song... wish there was a video to watch with it.

[redtreefoam]

february 29 1980 Lyceum London, one of the greatest bands of all time.

[kylabotting]

@redtreefoam thanks...much appreciated...

[kylabotting]

does anyone know the date this was performed live? thanks

[OtherView2]

Awesome!

[valeriuccia1104]

Yes, in fact I found the song ^^

[TheLasal]

indecible

at least from the most unspeakable loneliness

[lament1982]

Makes me wanna cry. Poor Ian !

[bertdockx]

as dark and emotional as it gets without being in anyway pathetic, like so many other so-called new-wave or "gothic" bands tend to be. timeless.

[cowboystitching]

This version is great!

[valeriuccia1104]

Does anybody know the name of the song where Debby finds Ian's body?

[marcdavis1970]

Dead Souls?

[whatagreenday794]

'in a lonely place' the version in the movie is by new order. but there is a 2minute rehearsal tape of ian singing that you could find on here

[jesuscat29]

Its" Atmosphere"

[glvillela45]

RIP IAN CURTIS.

[molkoula]

I love him....I sooooo love him!!!RIP Ian....Ur voice and songs always in my heart...

[kyal59]

Sheer beauty

[Sannjasin]

What to say more? It's my favourite song from Closer, after ''Twenty four hours''. Live performance, though seems as weaker(strange keyboard, isn't clear somehow, one line skipped) is better because of emotions and cold fire larger than in album...

[Sid1Vicious84]

In my time of dying, if anybody around me don't play this song, I will make sure to bring them with me to hell.

[knownpleasures]

lets hope ian isnt there

they say most suicides go to hell

[karziflora]

Hey SidVicious i tought u already in hell, just jocking. LOL.......

Yeah this is a perfect sound for a funeral, no doubt. Atmosphere is also optional.

[Lucaa1987]

hypnotic song, RIP Curtis

[babblejuice92UK]

excellent video. great band

[karmineka]

one of their best songs.....

nice to hear it live!!

[jarek1283]

beautiful

[TheCurseHead]

Perfection.
