Fantastic upload. I remember watching this at the time. New Order were the first band ever to play live on TOTP with Blue Monday. They refused to appear otherwise. They were also the second band ever to play live on toTOTP with this. They had such a superb attitude to music and the music biz - they played the music they wanted and didn't give a fuck about fame. Superb.
Joy Division and New Order - a truly essential part of modern music culture
Ah, New Order - the group that nobody could put in a box. My Indie mates hated them back then because the pompous fools saw them as commercial. My rocker mates hated them because of their use of technology. The Madonna and Prince types hated them because they were too small.
I loved them, and still do, because they touched places in my heart that nobody else could.

@godsstruggler Yep. Me too. Some people just didn't get them. We did and that's all that matters.
