Gnu Odour playing Ceremony live at the Ukrainian National Home in New York on November 19th 1981.

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn around and turn towards this time
All she ask's the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh I'll bring them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
Watching her the times she cried
The times she cried
Too frail to wake/walk this time

Oh I'll bring them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then we'll start watching
Watching forever
Forever, watching love grow
Forever, letting me know
Forever.

This is actually New Order's 11th concert in the United States, almost a year and a half after Ian Curtis' death...

...and yes, Gnu Odour. Huzzah for being random.

  • I was at this show. Fuck.

  • 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!

  • He was really, really nervous... but he did fine.

  • bernie, your singing out of key, tune, and time

  • Sumner on every video dont remeber lyrics ;)

  • God, Morris is totally absorbed by the music here.

  • They all look so young and cute! Aside from Hooky who looks like a 35 year old on about 40 fags a day with that beard.

    Steve Morris is a fantastic drummer. Unparalled even.

  • 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 You lucky bastard

  • @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!

  • Morris was definitely on fire here.
