True Story: I once stayed in this crappy hotel and there was a selection of crappy videos in the cupboard... there was one video without a label, we gambled on that one, we put it in the video player and it was a VHS recording of this concert... Amazement!
@thirtythree303 that is awesome...good on ya. i remember the first time i stumbled upon an old show i attended (a void show in philly circa 1986)...it made me feel old and young at the same time!
I pick up a very cunning strategy employed vis a vis sidewalk dog turds, the catcher's pound clean up routine, and the Sunday walk in the park exercise, so tedious to the cat owner and philosphers of Helios, an important point in the cusping over from Joy Division to New Order, in this performance, unnoted by me elsewhere.
Can you imagine if Ian had indeed made it to their tour of America how legendary those shows would've been???? Fuck 1970s medical technology and the way it treated epilepsy!!!!!!
I dig New Orders version, and don't get me wrong...I love them and they're music. I just love Joy Division. It is hard watching someone in Ian's place. I understand they have to go on, but it's hard to watch still. He does a great job., but...He's no Ian. and I know they know nothing can replace him, or his voice and presence. I tend to go on about this band, but they have been my favorite for 20 plus years. I could go on, but this post only allows me so many words...I tend to go on and on...
@Mayda30 The band was called "Electronic". It was Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr. The Pet Shop Boys collaborated with them on several songs. Look up "Getting Away With It".
Amazing quality all the right angles I wish there were more videos of this quality especially for The Cure videos most are real bad I really enjoy the older stuff from the late 70's to the mid 90's and its hard to find it in this good of quality thank you for sharing
when pink floyd lost their singer songwriter, syd barrett, it took a little time for the new guy ,david, and richard and roger and nick to move forward. bernard seems so alone , and luckily ,survived overwhelming odds . having the greatest drummer and bassist on earth may have helped. the exquisite beauty of pink floyd is tearfully equaled by this phenomenally talented group. the love out there for just these two bands is immeasurable,almost infinite. forever.
This is inspiring to watch because this was about a year after Ian died, but they decided that they shouldn't stop with Joy Division....They wanted to play!
@fakeis751 I think so. Maybe Curtis just influenced him, but after working with "Electronic" (his side project) Bernard started singing like an idiot.
@012greenej Sumner cant sing, he's never tried to hide that fact. The only reason the sang was because nobody else wanted to (much like Curtis stepped in when they were forming Joy Division). It's more what he says and how it says it that's important.
restored versions! I have this on an old crappy VHS that I recorded on Aust TV in 1982, particularly "Temptation" ! Love it. I played it that much that if I ever hear it I expect to hear Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights straight after as it was next on the video tape. LOFL
@PeoplesWar i agree the quality is excellent for a 1981 show. the cure started around the same time as Joy division/ new order and i'm a huge collector of the cure material and anything from that old is really bad quality....the video at least. there are some great SB recording from the cure early days.
i think they should have slowed it down a wee bit...but,in my opinion,nothing can compare to Ian's vocals..they are just so much more raw and heartfelt...i miss him,and i didn't know him at all,except through his music,and happily,he shall live on forever for it...which is beautiful...
I can't believe this is officially 30 years old now that it's new years (give or take some months). I remember how a friend of mine got me into punk, then he moved away in 1978 and I went back to listening to regular rock like RUSH and Zepplin. Then when I moved to a new town in 1981, I started listening to a new sound called "Post punk" well I listened to it befor in or around 1979 but really started to enjoy bands like Joy Division/New Order, Chameleons UK and The Jam and many others. ;)
@einetutterauchen Well, it was a Joy Division song, so that makes sense I guess, and it wasn't that long after Ian's passing so I guess they were still in mourning. They never managed to get a full recording of this track as Joy Division, so it's nice to hear it "properly" so to speak (minus the obvious).
its really funny, when you see videos from recent bands, they ALL want to play like the bands from 80es, with ties, old fashion clothes, etc.. but those shitty bands are pretty boring;
The time has come for Free energy to be revealed ,But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be part of the revolution!
I agree, they would have make great music, ian should be 56 now, see, i let during one year and a half, an old cassette with joy division, i was on a bad mood at this time, and this music was a kind of ressourcing for me, with the voice of Ian so deep, so dark, we are missing you Mr Ian...................
Imagine if Ian could've lived just a bit longer than maybe we could have seen a Joy Division concert in the kind of quality of this video. I can only imagine what that would've been like.
remember that new order essentially wrote ceremony, love will tear us apart, etc...they may have progressed the same way with or without Ian...still the new order albums hold up better than JD's...would they have written Blue Monday or Temptation with Ian still leading the band? Maybe but we'll never know.
Quite right. Joy Division wrote maybe 5 great songs (Atmosphere, No Love Lost, Transmission and a couple of others). There's no way they'd have written "Your Silent Face", "Temptation" or "All The Way Home" with Ian at the helm..
@DamoSuzuki100 - atmosphere - 24 hours - candidate - ceremony - digital - no love lost - transmission - shadowplay - a means to an end - disorder - insight - novelty - dead souls - the eternal - something must break - love will tear us apart - from safety to where those are my picks
Well, we're not going to convince each other, which is a good thing on the whole ;-)
Pedantically, I'd point out that "Ceremony" was pretty duff until recorded by New Order. And if I never hear "Love Will Tear Us Apart " again (!) I won't feel I've missed out.
Mind you, the 4 or so songs I would pick ARE all on your list!
@barbconch Well that depends if Ian would've been influenced by the New York club scene like the rest of the band were, the rest of the band members say I an used to bring Kraftwerk records to rehearsals so perhaps they would have progressed in a similar path if Ian lived. One thing is for sure though, the lyrics to all the songs would be entirely different.
You guys do know this WAS a joy division song, right? It's ians lyrics, that's why bernards singing so low. This and 'in a lonely place' were the last j/d songs and both recorded by new order. There's a live version with Ian singing on the Still record.
This is so good. I love this song. Poor Stephen Morris looks like he could use a towel, but that's the price you pay for rocking out. You can tell that he's still getting used to drumming at a faster pace.
Ceremony is the only song that I can say feels like it's actually moving. No other song has such momentum and motion as this song to me, especially this performance of it. Possessing.
@theFirecat00 They always seemed shy to me. Don't they normally not give interviews? Of course, I'm in the states so there was never a lot of press about this group, what we used to call "alternative" music back then.
I love the mood of the whole of this concert. It is consistent with the perceived attitude of the band at the time, who had been getting very irritated with continual inane questions about Joy Division from the media. It is great that it was filmed.
I really find it funny how some people are unaware that New Order are the remaining members of JD, and start slaging NO. I grew up in the 80's and being a fan of one of those band and not knowing the other would be almost unheard of. I've seen this lot in this decade. I'm sure there were people aloof of this in the 80's too, but nobody I knew and people who listend to NO & JD were a select group of individuals back then.
He was really, really nervous... but he did fine.

This song is the last song to be performed with Ian and is my personal favorite New Order song too.

Yeah, I would be a little bit sad if my friend, main songwriter and fellow band member had snapped his neck in a kitchen in Manchester.

This is one of the great early songs.
I love the mood of the whole of this concert. It is consistent with the perceived attitude of the band at the time, who had been getting very irritated with continual inane questions about Joy Division from the media. It is great that it was filmed.

New Order IS Joy Division! Ian Curtis died... so can't do much about it

I really find it funny how some people are unaware that New Order are the remaining members of JD, and start slaging NO. I grew up in the 80's and being a fan of one of those band and not knowing the other would be almost unheard of. I've seen this lot in this decade. I'm sure there were people aloof of this in the 80's too, but nobody I knew and people who listend to NO & JD were a select group of individuals back then.
