very sweet. seeing and hearing this song on this video in live performance- which i first heard many years ago- is a revelation. i feel the raw edge, the imperfection this has over the "original" recording actually brings more out in the song- specifically, the performance of the instrumental arrangement. and nicely shot. especially like the side three-shot around 3:00
another excellent live rendition of this classic as i have always said to those who say new order are crap live ... they are at there best live because they mix things up, they feel the songs and most of all they have fun doing it live... best performance so far.
@spunkets Yes, as much as many of us have passionate and strong views about what's good and what isn't, I also like to keep the 'subjective' idea as my guiding principle in music. Everyone has a different starting point in their exposure to music and a different set of experiences of sound and its relationship to their life and emotions, so there's no right or wrong in music. Most Joy Division fans laugh when I say I like Cascada but they're the ones that are missing out in my opinion. Cheers!
This is the only half decent 80s live version ive seen on youtube, the synths and especially the bass are great compared to all the attrocious live versions they did!
The vocal performance is better in the 1983 performance though.

This has been flagged as spam show
Hook's guitar has too much vibrato. Plus, he could have backed off the drum pads a bit.
The lead singer should have stayed within his vocal range.
Other than that it was cool.

you really must not be familiar with new order....this is what they were infamous for. completley fucking about when playing live
