Durutti Column Missing Boy 1981 RE: Ian Curtis FINLAND

Seminal,\thanks for this.

one of my first vidio cassettes- the icon. great dc

thanx to bruce + vinnie for this great performance !

cheers,mickey

This song is excellent. RIP Ian Curtis.

I saw them July 2009 and bruce still looks like a man who really really enjoys his job! To see Vini perform live was a priveldge and an honour.

at 5:39 the drummer was the happiest guy in the world at that time!! lol

We Love In Poland Too DURUTTI COLUMN !!!

Two of the best musicians ever. Period.

Very underrated in the UK. Vinnie is one of our local boys. Never seemed to sell well, oddly enough. I don't think Vinnie was commercial enough.

Apparently Reilly was somewhat sick during this concert. The speaker's introduction in English:

"The fellow in his checkered pants and white shirt is Vini Reilly. Vini isn't quite well... I mean Vini's health isn't top notch but today he said he's feeling quite okay. The drums are banged by half of Africa, Bruce Mitchell. The Durutti Column".

Wonder what's with the "half of Africa" part! Anyways, I'm amazed to see that they've actually performed here in Finland.

i think "half of Africa" is a compliment to Bruce Mitchell meaning it sounds like his drumming IS half of Africa as he makes such an amazing sound. as we know drums are a big part of African culture!
