  • i want to dance this!!!

  • Which song is this?

  • @Metallicsen she's lost control.

  • actually likes this version of JoyDivision most

  • have they got a second guitarist playing the shot notes in the first song? looks like just the one dude.

  • the bass is playing the main riff

  • Ian Curtis Lives. We were strangers for way too long.

  • Frankly I'm grateful to a record of their live performances.

  • Sorry-meant that I'm glad to HAVE a record of their live performances. A document like this is pretty priceless.

  • fastronaut, do you mean the flash video, or some static, originary text unobtainable through this site?

  • Googling around it seems this was filmed at the Bowden Jubilee Community centre (about a mile away from me). The place hasn't changed much- they run toddler groups and Bridge evenings amongst other things....Great quality footage and sound. The other place they played in Alty was 'The Check Inn' which is now 'Totties' lap dancing club (not that I have been of course....)

  • As for jyotriveda2's 'cheer up' comment - he's 31/2 now, a real grown-up....so he knows life isn't always cheerful, doesn't he?? He knows one vital part of music/art and literature (whichever you want to call this) is that it touches the listener, makes you feel as if others have had the same feelings, and makes us all feel less alone.

  • Yes, if you've never seen anything like this before it might look strange. And if you don't like it and don't want to give it a chance: just move on - fans get pissed off with idiots. So before you post a comment that makes you look foolish just go to AMG and read something about the band. If you still think it's crap, your loss...but what you're seeing here is an incredibly charismatic person and a really great, original band.

  • all you twits posting your idiotic graffiti on here on go get yourselves a good case of hemmeroids. FOR JOY DIVISION FANS ONLY. post that teenage bullshit somewhere ELSE.

  • she's lost control y shadowplay seguidas en un agujero de los suburbios de madchester...y cutis volviendose loco por momentos

  • Don't read this

    You're a twat :D

  • Don't read this

    You're a twat :D

  • You are a fucking waste of space...

  • fucking brilliant.

  • Great footage. Thanks for sharing

  • I like Ian's little "lost control" interpretive dance. Pretty cool stuff. God bless Super 8!

  • Wagg,

    Poor joke if meant, the guy was epileptic!

  • what part of "Pretty cool stuff" did you miss? I danced like that in the 80's (probably more strangely) and I don't have epilepsy! Lighten up.

  • Sorry wagg,

    When you mentioned "pretty cool" in this forum, I thought that you were younger and didn't know!

  • BRILLIANT never seen such high quality boot leg footage before...how can anybody say this is depressing. what next steve brookstein for prime minister?

  • Thanks for posting this. I like (liked?) Joy Division. And never saw them live... or on vid. What a great piece of history.

  • He did die Nukleo.

  • LOL WHAT IN THE HECK IS THE SINGER DOING AT 1:50? hahaha i almost just died laughing

  • Great stuff!!!!

  • Hahaha, I'm 31 year old. And I surely know real music. Joy Division is real music as well, but it's a very depressing type of music. You guys should cheer up.

  • True true but the thing is people will always say "ah this is like genius" or "this is the truthful interpretation of soul through sound" but the thing is people get assimilated quite fast especially the masses so I think the best music is the balanced one no matter what genre.

  • its good.

  • Hey Jyotirveda2...first, how old are you. Second, do you understand the punk asesthetic? Maybe that's why. In the past (unlike now) music was revered as art, not as product as it is today. And art needs interpretation and dissection. And if you don't feel like rising to the occasion, listen to SoakyBeaver and piss off.

  • Is right

  • Thank you. ^^

  • Horrible. Why doesn't the guy sing? The music sucks as well. I don't understand, many people say they like Joy Division, but this just sucks.

  • Stop posting. If you don't like it, piss off.

  • you have no idea what real music sound like do you?

  • Ian Curtis... bless him and RIP. Thanks so much for posting this...

  • Greatqualty of film.RIP Ian.

  • It's easy to forget how awesome this band were! Wonderful stuff. Ian Curtis will go down in history much the same a poet of yore.

  • ahhhh Ian Curtis.....a genius tooken from us way too soon.

  • FREAKIN AMAZING!!!

    I have never seen this footage!

    Thanks for putting this up!

  • I've never seen this either. Is there more from this same concert?

  • great clip never seen this one,excellent
