nothing beats live joy division. hendrix had clear footage of his genius craft and ian had shoddy recordings that still echo magnificently from the late 70s to date
Most definitely not! I don't know why, but the lyrics keep differing in every live version. Also the John Peel lyrics are different from the original appearing on 'Closer'. By the way, I love, Love, LOVE the way Ian keeps disappearing in the shadows whenever his body jerks him backwards. People might think his movements are hilarious, but I really think they're haunting and contribute to the gloomy and desperate atmosphere of the band's music and performance! Shame I Shan't ever see it...
@SapereRisin Yes, the lyrics of a few lines earlier in the song are different to the version that was recorded a few months later for Closer.
The differing lyrics used here are also used in another version of Colony, which was recorded in 1979 for Joy Division's second John Peel Show session.
I love how he opens his arms wide, like saying "This is what it is". It´s so strange in his performances.
